Born and raised in France, Catherine learned early on from her grandmother ancient rituals and prayers that improve a life experience, from practices to heal wounds and protect friendship to incantations that push away a lightning storm! Very close to her mother, she was trained at a very young age about fashion, style and art. At the same time, she observed her father drawing architectural plans on the dining room table and began to read about myths and traditions from diversified cultures... Through Pepe, her grandfather, who grew a vineyard she developed the sense of seasons, earth, growth and the ultimate connection with a bigger picture. Needless to say she began to move her bedroom furniture around at a very young age!

After earning a Masters in Education, Communication and Adult training, she built a career helping people finding their own truth, reaching the next step of their professional and personal development, releasing their own blocks. Her not-judgmental approach and her tireless sense of listening made her successful in cases that could have seemed pretty desperate to most. She first free-lanced in communication then became the manager of a Graphic Design School in Paris.  Then as a Communication and Management consultant, Catherine was specifically designing training programs for people going through dramatic career and life changes. Using her unique intuition and her knowledge of psychology, especially Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Transactional Analysis, she coached her clients in the development and strengthening of their inner-selves, allowing them to discover, face and clear their shadows in order to create their own path, beyond expectations.

Catherine encountered Feng Shui through a strange "coincidence". One night, as she was feeling her life was stagnating, she heard in her sleep a strong voice telling her to remove all the pictures from the kitchen walls of her Parisian apartment. These pictures had been taken by former boyfriends or they were even pictures of the boyfriends. The same day, she went to a doctor she never met before. In the waiting room, she grabbed a magazine from a huge pile and randomly opened it. The article was about Feng Shui. The author recommended removing pictures of former experiences to start up a new life… What Catherine did immediately after coming back home! Her life began to move on again, very fast indeed.  Encouraged by her trainees and her friends, she was already introducing more advices on home/office decor in her coaching sessions, along with style make-over. While developing knowledge of Feng Shui, Catherine realized that she had found the common platform where everything she had learned, developed and worked towards was finally coming together, including spirituality, mythology, psychology, health, art and space planning. It was like discovering the Universal Logos one of her Philosophy teacher was always referring to..

In 2000 her romantic heart brought her from Paris to San Francisco. While working on interior decoration and space planning for a nationwide well known fine furniture store, she enrolled in the 3 Year Masters Program at the Black Tantric Buddhism (BTB) Feng Shui school, whose founder is Grand Master Lin Yun Rinpoche, the main importer of Feng Shui to the western world. She studied under the mentoring of four world-wide renowned Masters: Grand Master Lin Yun, Barry Gordon (shamanism, I Ching), Steven Post (geomancy, Great Goddess) and Edgar Sung (shape of the land, astrology). After presenting to her mentors a final project, Histoire de Pepe, a DVD on how to explain death and reincarnation to children, Catherine received her diploma from the hands of Grand Master Lin Yun himself, acknowledging her as a certified BTB Feng Shui Master.

Catherine currently runs a successful consulting firm that provides Feng Shui and Interior Decoration services. She enjoys working with multi-cultural clients, and she's been developing a network of reliable friends and partners  in the United States and in Europe… Her personalized and sensitive service, while being straight forward, is always enthusiastic and full of humor and humanity. Her French accent is unforgettable… Between meditation and down-to-earth considerations, she will work the mundane and the magic to make your life a better space! In style.
