Bonjour!
I’m Christelle. Born in France with a love of languages from an early age, I was living in Aix en Provence when I decided to finish studying in England. The rest is history as they say, and I have now lived in the UK for over 2 decades. So living in a multi-cultural environment and with 20 years of corporate experience across varied industries, I can bring a wealth of knowledge and perspectives to the conversation.
I am often asked 'how did you become a coach?'. I realised that coaching has actually been part of my life forever, either being coached or coaching. From being born in a household of sports coaches, being a gymnastics coach in my teens, being coached in sporting, life & business contexts to building my coaching practice, I have embraced the power that comes with the support and space coaching can offer.
As a Leadership Coach I am passionate about growth, helping others get clarity and focus to embrace the lifestyle they long for and go through the difficult transition stage. I evoke transformation, no matter how big or small, for others to make conscious decisions about how they help themselves and others by removing blocks and creating a world of possibilities. With determination and empathy, I challenge my clients to help them discover a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Fiercely independent by nature, my curiosity and creativity when dreaming up my next adventure teamed with determination and enthusiasm to turn them into a reality has always been a real asset in my life and in my coaching. I'd like to share this with you for the sake of your own transformation so you can live your life to its full potential.
I am also a mother to 2 teens and live with my partner near London so I know what it takes to balance many demands whilst not losing yourself and your dreams. I feed my inquisitive and adventurous mind by living, working and travelling in many environments. Excited by fresh, innovative thinking, I am constantly inspired by the beauty and energy that lies in the uniqueness of each person I encounter and the world we live.
A friend once told me that his Dad's best advice was to 'invest in memories'. Ever since, this has been the lens through which I see life.

MY STAR VALUES
I LOVE…
Art in all its forms - I am deeply moved, inspired and shaped through my interactions with art. The more immersive the better
Brains - I know this may sound weird. The more I learn about the human brains, the more I am fascinated by the complex interactions and infinite potential that lies within them. I work hard to continuously align my head, heart and gut brains to be the best human I can be for myself and all those I have the pleasure of touching in one way or another.
Stories - family stories, funny stories, ancient stories, fictional stories, stories on a big screen or around a campfire, cultural stories, heartwarming stories, sad stories, incredible stories and more stories…
Nature - I will never cease to be amazed by the beauty, the power and the wisdom found in all living creatures and the eco-system they co-create. Whilst my roots are firming anchored in hot environments, I have learnt to embrace colder climates to appreciate the variety of ‘homes’ and lifestyles the Earth offers to us.
Adventures - Big and small, from a day out to a year travelling around the globe, the excitement of trying something new, meeting new people, discovering new aspects of different cultures - in short any experience where there is an element of discovery, connection, learning and unknown.
