Welcome! I am happy to invite you to L’Annexe @YAY Yoga Studio in Paris 18ème on Wednesday 8th July at 6pm for a psychedelic breathwork workshop. This is a transformative space to release stress, find clarity, and reconnect with yourself.

⌾ About me
Hi, I’m Charles. I am French & British, raised between 2 cultures, 2 languages, 2 ways of thinking. As a leader in the corporate and tech startup worlds (Danone, Deezer, APHP, Lehman Brothers and Newmark) for over 15 years, my career has taken me around the world. Today I am based between Paris, NYC and Bali, where I support individuals and teams who are growing fast or transforming.
A little more personal: over 4 years ago I was fired for being drunk at work. Since then I have been working on my addictions (it was not just alcohol!) and building a life I no longer need to escape from. I have explored the shame, fear and rage that kept me from being able to be present in my body. I have been, and still am, on a quest for happiness, through therapy, coaching, meditation, breathwork, tantra, shamanism, talking circles, and much more. These personal experiences deeply shape my approach.
I am certified in breathwork and facilitate individual and group breathwork sessions. I am also a certified ACC coach by the International Coaching Federation, and trained in the Co-Active coaching model, used by companies like Google, IBM and Salesforce. On the side I write & play music, move my body, and make love. And I am still addicted to very good coffee.
