now

With MindfulDallas, LLC, it is my pleasure to bring my life experience to the service of people wanting to quiet their mind a live a life more aligned with their deep values. I am a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, having completed Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. *  My approach and philosophy are based in equal measure on sound Western scientific knowledge and on contemplative approaches. On the scientific side, I rely on my background as a PhD biologist and a MA psychologist to understand and describe the human being as an interconnected layers of body, emotions, and mind. On the contemplative side, I draw on 15 years of meditation experience in diverse traditions.

A two-year training program combining in-person and online training with Certificate delivered by the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center; the Awareness Training Institute; and Sounds True.

I was born in France and earned a PhD in Biophysics from the University of Paris  through lab research in bioelectricity for 10 years. I moved to Dallas TX in 1988 and pursued a career in the pharmaceutical industry contributing to the development of new drugs  and new medical devices.  For 20 years, I planned, developed, organized, monitored and reported on clinical trials of new drug and new medical devices based throughout the US and overseas.
