Bio

I work out of love and enchantment for human beings, for their diversity, for their pains and joys, and for the conviction that, by connecting to their ESSENCE, their purpose in life, through the WISDOM OF THE HEART, they find COURAGE (COR-AGEM), ENTHUSIASM (IN THEOS), as well as unwavering CONFIDENCE. Thus, they reduce their stress and increase their resilience and can give the best of themselves to others and to society.

I seek to welcome and accompany people who are ready, at the right time for them, to self-fulfill. This is my purpose.”

I was born in São Paulo, daughter of a Swiss father and a French mother. I had a bilingual education and graduated in Business Administration at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV).

Mother of two children, real gifts in my life, I have been practicing meditation for 21 years and I am a nature lover.

I worked in the field of marketing in large multinational companies in Brazil. This period highlighted my already inherent interest in human beings.

I have been a Mentor and Coach at the European Coaching Academy (AEC) and Heartmath Benelux for 11 years. I use scientific methodologies based on neuroscience with a particular interest in the fields of:

health, with doctors, medical students, patients suffering from mental illness, chronic diseases, heart disease, burnout, palliative care, among others.

education, including:
- supporting parents in their educational journey, as a coach and mentor in “Conscious Parenting”.
- supporting young people, children and teenagers with personalized work aimed at their organization and autonomy, as well as their connection with what they love and their essence.
- partnership in schools and universities where I work as a school coach.

I am co-author and collaborator of books on parenting, including “Socio-Emotional Competencies” (Literare Books International); “The intention of mother – according to the seven attitudes of full awareness”, in collaboration with Iara Mastines; and “Let’s talk about life?” and “A Mala de Opa”, by Camila Capel.

I have done and continue to do voluntary work with children, teenagers, adults and the elderly.

Heart and Mind Alignment

I am a healer, humanist, unifier and empath who cares about the world. I believe that growing up in a multicultural environment has contributed to developing this vision and attitude towards life.

I guide my trajectory by a conviction: connection to purpose and fulfillment can only occur through coherence between thought, feeling and will. Therefore, when there is an alignment between heart and mind.

*Fullfillment: a state of satisfaction and full development, which can be achieved through the cultivation of different skills and values such as gratitude, self-awareness and acceptance.

I use various methodologies to achieve this coherence and inner strength and promote the changes desired by my clients – be they, children, teenagers, adults, parents, professionals or seniors.

At any stage of life, human beings are capable of improving themselves and transforming their old patterns.

Those who have already been accompanied by my coaching say that my work is in-depth and has constituted an important step in their life, with a clear “before and after”.

They find in me a person who uses scientifically proven and highly transformative methodologies, in a welcoming environment, combining calm, respectful listening, humility, love, enthusiasm, deep joy, curiosity, courage and authenticity.

I hope to be able to accompany you in your journey of self-knowledge and that you can let your essence shine,

To your fulfillment,

Anne

Mentoring in stress management

Experiential approach, combining the mental and the physiological, thus allowing faster and deeper changes, following the most recent discoveries in neuroscience. Mentoring is personalized individually or in groups. I also do workshops and presentations.

Special projects:

Biographical and cardiac coherence with Dr. Martha Azevedo, cardiologist.
Partnership with Medcos – mental health application.
Partnership with Human Institute
Workshop and Mentoring with Ellendee Concept Store, Switzerland.

Over the years, I have developed my own training methodology for stress management and increasing resilience that covers several resources, including Cardiac Coherence, Mindfulness, Havening, Non-Violent Communication.

I detail the state of heart coherence below:

“Your vision will only become clear when you can look into your own heart.
He who looks outside dreams;
he who looks inside wakes up.”

Carl Jung

Heart Coherence

Heart coherence allows us to align the coherence between our thoughts, feelings and actions. When we reach this scientific and measurable state, our heart sends signals to the brain indicating that we are well, which allows the release of feel-good hormones such as DHEA, oxytocin (the love hormone) and Iga, which strengthens the immune system.

On the other hand, when we are incoherent or stressed, the heart sends signals that cause the brain to release cortisol and adrenaline, the stress hormones. These signals are transmitted to the brain in different ways: hormonally, through neural pathways (the heart has more than 40,000 neurons) and through the heartbeat itself, which is picked up by the amygdala. In addition, the heart also transmits our emotional state to other people via its electromagnetic field, which can be picked up by the hearts around us.

This state of the coherent heart can reach different levels, from the most basic (which already helps us not to react to external stimuli, but to act from a centered state), to the deepest, accessing a broad thought, with creative and “out of the box” ideas.

This is due to the fact that the amygdala captures the signal that the coherent heart transmits to it and lets more information pass to the prefrontal cortex (“slow track”) – and more neural connections are then possible.

Heart coherence is different from simple relaxation. It is a proactive state in which we are fully connected to our values, our purpose and our essence.

To illustrate, I like to compare the image of a common light beam and a laser beam. The laser has much more power and precision. In fact, the definition of a laser beam is a monochromatic, coherent, directional and high intensity light.

And this is how we are when we are in a state of cardiac coherence: strong and precise. It is like being in the eye of a hurricane: unharmed and calm despite the turbulence around us.

We are all capable of learning techniques that quickly bring us to a state of coherence and that can be applied everywhere, with people around us, in everyday life.

In short, coherence is an internal force that aims above all to honor our life purpose and our values, allowing us to overcome obstacles and thus move closer to our goals.

“You already know that the key to happiness is not about cramming more activities into an already busy life. It’s about having the insight and vision to know what really matters to you and being courageous enough to take action on those things.”

Parental education

Supporting families with an emphasis on self-education and the development of self-awareness.

The basis of all education is self-education.

This work is done with parents (mother and/or fathers). This allows them to connect to their values as a family and to become more coherent, aligned and confident in relation to the daily decisions that the art of educating requires.

This internal coherence and confidence are perceived by the child who feels more secure, less anxious and happy to be able to have healthy limits.

Parents find themselves freed from the permissiveness/guilt seesaw, adopting sustainable guidelines and principles and becoming a loving authority for their children, without having to resort to arbitrary attitudes.

The results are palpable in a few weeks.

Innovative project: Parents in the company

For companies and institutions, the proposal is to work with their employees who are parents of children and teenagers.

This intervention proposed by the company aims to make them more confident about the education of their children and therefore more fulfilled also at work. This practice is already common in companies in several European countries, accompanied by complementary initiatives, with excellent results.

Trusted Person at School – PCE

Trusted Person at School (PCE): Unrelated to the school, this person can be requested by the child or teenagers, in a safe environment, to seek advice and the best reference in case of doubts and problems such as bullying, feelings of exclusion or injustice, among other cases.

Schools that want more information can request it by email to heartstouch.life@gmail.com.

School and university coach for children, adolescents and young people

I accompany the student to be his own master and to connect with what motivates and inspires him, thus achieving fulfillment in his academic journey.

This is a unique and differentiated program because it combines personal coaching, academic coaching and mentoring in the management of emotions, stress and anxiety.

We will work mainly on:

alignment with your goal and what motivates you
gaining confidence in your abilities by focusing on your strengths and developing yourself in all subjects.
being autonomous and organized

The work is individual, personalized and formatted according to the objectives of each student, respecting their personality, aspirations and talents, as well as their current objectives and difficulties.

You will thus develop your own study methodology and organizational techniques, becoming completely autonomous. And, as a natural consequence, you have more free time to pursue your passions (sports, hobbies, etc.), which feeds your motivation to study effectively, creating a virtuous circle.

Balanced personal life

Adopt healthy lifestyle habits
Identify passions and manage constraints
Have an environment conducive to success

Short, medium and long term goals

Connect to your professional dream
Define a concrete goal and the actions to achieve it

Organization and productivity
