Nature (Re)Connection in: French

Growing up in a rural family deeply connected to nature, I was fortunate to experience it from a very young age. I spent most of my time outdoors—nature was my first playground. But as I transitioned into adulthood, city life and its daily demands gradually pulled me away from it. Approaching my forties, a period of professional burnout took a toll on my mental health, and I felt the urgent need to care for myself by reconnecting with nature—starting in my own garden.

Today, I am convinced that nature played a major role in rebuilding me—helping me regain my physical and mental well-being, as well as my self-confidence and self-esteem. Inspired by this experience, I decided to make a career change to share my love for nature and its many benefits for our health. I chose to train with UNature / L’Université dans la Nature because of its deeply positive approach, in which I immediately found myself. It is a true joy to help as many people as possible ‘experience’ nature, rekindle their bond with it, and discover its positive impact. Contributing in my own way—with kindness and gentleness—to a better world is what drives me.
