The Journey of my Healing extends beyond myself

A journey home to myself.

I’m Ghislaine, a spirited woman devoted to living a life that feels like mine — a life that is rich, real, and radiant. At 19, I left my native France for the Netherlands, unknowingly stepping into a long and winding journey of reclaiming my body… and, ultimately, my life.
For years, I lived in quiet battle. A battle with my reflection. A battle with food. A battle with societal expectations I had internalized so deeply, they felt like truth. I dieted, I pushed, I punished. I played by the rules of a world that profits from our disconnection — and still, I found myself further away from joy, vitality, and the kind of presence I craved.
I wasn’t just disconnected from my body.
I was disconnected from life.
I was surviving instead of living. Dreaming small. Shrinking myself — not only physically but emotionally, creatively, spiritually.
It wasn’t until I dared to listen — not to the noise outside, but to the whispers within — that something shifted.
I stopped chasing perfection and started building a relationship.
With my body, with my truth, with the part of me that wanted more than just getting through the day.

Transformation

Yes, I’ve walked the familiar path: body shame, bullying, disordered eating, deep sadness masked by resilience. I’ve read the books, done the courses, tried the quick fixes.
I’ve also hit rock bottom — 134 kilos, exhausted, defeated, and aching for a way out that didn’t cost me my soul.

And then frustrated and desperate by the fight I had been fighting and loosing for years I made a decision that was going to change my life.

I stopped fighting and started listening.
I made a sacred vow: the rest of my life would not be a repeat of my past.
Whatever needed healing, I would face it.
Whatever was mine to reclaim, I would  meet it.

And I did. Not all at once. Not without pain. But with fierce love, messy courage, and a deepening trust in the intelligence of my body and the wisdom of life itself.

I walked this journey with the support of mentors, therapists, and teachers — and mostly, with my own body as my compass. That attunement eventually led me to a gastric bypass in 2016, and it continued to lead me deeper: into my truth, my voice, my full expression.

‘Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but you’ve actually been planted.’

A gift of perseverance

"I've gleaned many lessons along my path, which I've transformed into teachings aimed at healing women worldwide."

Cracked open to life

What I once called struggle, I now see as initiation.
My perseverance is not just a trait — it’s a gift.
A gift that has cracked me open to life, love, and a deeper sense of purpose.

I believe the healing we do for ourselves creates a ripple far beyond our own stories. That’s why I share mine. Because I know I’m not alone. And neither are you.
My joy, my presence, my wild devotion to a life fully lived — these are my offerings. This is the medicine I carry.

Through my work, I invite women to reconnect to their essence, to reclaim their power, and to embody the truth of who they are — not just for the sake of wellness, but for the sake of aliveness.

This is not just my story.
It’s an invitation.
To come home to yourself.
To remember what you came here for.
To live — truly live.

With Love and Joy,
Ghislaine
