Meet Your Guide and Facilitator

I’m a professional facilitator and leadership team coach, passionate about intentional reboot and well-being. I co-founded a workplace wellness start-up during the pandemic and have led many workshops worldwide. I am both French and US citizen working out of Washington DC.Atlanthal is a spa I’ve been returning to for years — and I’m thrilled to host this retreat there in 2025. I hope that you’ll join me — and this becomes a yearly moment to pause, reflect, and re-energize.With appreciation,

Small Print Footnotes

  • You can also add extra days / spa treatments at additional cost or decide to combine this retreat with a personal trip to nearby Bordeaux wine region or next-door northern Spain!

  • Prices do not include flights/trains/transportation to France/Biarritz/Retreat location

  • One group dinner, and all daily breakfasts are included. Other meals are not included (the next door beach has incredible food options a few steps away)

  • There is also a 4* hotel on-site - I like the 3* and 4* equally and did not find that much difference

  • Quoted hotel price is for 3* hotel continental-side: beach-side comes at a premium and you can request it when booking your hotel

  • Once you are a confirmed participant, booking will be done in 2 steps: (1) hotel/spa directly with the hotel and (2) retreat workshopping with me. The investment quoted for the retreat (US$2,650) covers both

  • The retreat will go ahead regardless of the number of participants

  • The spa requires a medical note from your primary care doctor indicating you are fit enough to receive spa treatments (english language is accepted)

On The Beach

A couple of minutes walk on the beach and you come across local hangouts with great food, made from scratch with local produce. Ideal for lunch or dinner by the beach!An early morning or after-dinner leisurely walk on the walkway along the beach or on the sand is a great way to take in all the sensations brought by the sea, sand, and a beautiful sky.
