My holistic life & business coach mantra
My story: from expatriate mom looking for meaning to successful entrepreneur
My name is School, Franco-Dutch. I'm a mom of 2 teenagers, married and citizens of the world for over 28 years.
From Rio to Madagascar, from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur, to Portugal todayI built my life at the pace of suitcases, meetings... and my own reinventions.
I long thought that "successful", That was to check all the boxes.
And I checked them all: a position of responsibility, a beautiful house in Dubai, happy children, a loving husband.
But by force to do everything right – the mother, the boss, the perfect wife – I got myself disconnected from myself. Until the day life stopped. Literally. A car accident upset everything.
On that day, I realized I was no longer aligned. That I lived to meet the expectations of others... instead oflisten to my inner truth.
So I asked for help: I started my first accompaniment with a coach and I continued the work started with my psychotherapist. It was starting point of a new path.
I've changed course. I started my first business in an area I knew by heart: Gifts With Purchase and eco-friendly packaging.
Then a small brand of child accessories for a Kuala Lumpur NGO, which helped Afghan refugee women regain their autonomy.
But I felt something bigger called me.
And one day, as I came to land in Portugal, that word I had so much asked me came, one morning: holistic.
💛 Heart. Body. Spirit.
Everything's aligned.
What I never really dared to tell was that faith in « that taller than me » Never left me.
At the age of 12, I experienced a powerful, founding spiritual experience. — a Christian experience of joy, light and unconditional love.
Since then, I know the invisible supports us.
This faith accompanies me in storms as well as in impulses, and gives me strength of resilience and deep confidence.
I understood that my vocation,it was a good ideaaccompanying expatriate women like me to reconnect to their truth, to dare choose one another, to build a business that honors, nourishes and flourishes them.
And that's how it was born Gateway Coaching by Élo. My heartwork. My life mission.
My mission? Accompany expatriate, expat and entrepreneur women to reveal their potential
What's so deep in the air?
- Help slow down to reconnect
- Help falling in love with yourself
- Help Incarnate your fire and unique voice
- Help You start with what you already have.
I want you no longer to choose between your personal development and the success of your activity. I want your business to become the living reflection of Who you really are :
Free. Radiant. Connected. Magnetic.
I have created transformation programmes (individual and collective) so that every mother who is expat will be able, at her own pace, to transform her activity into a living space, aligned, regenerated while contributing to a better world.
I am accompanied by every mother who is an expat to align her entrepreneurial posture with her personal values. It is this coherence that will allow you to radiate fully in your activity and allow me to shine too.
Because I'm convinced that women who love and dare to reveal themselves, change the world. I'm here to remind you, guide you, open the way... until you don't need me anymore.
And because I know you're one of them.
WELCOME TO YOU.
My approach to holistic coaching to accompany your transition or reinvention
When you live away from your country, juggling between the markers to reinvent, the roles to reconcile and the impulses to listen...
Creating a business can not be a simple matter of strategy or technique. I am convinced that this is a magnificent invitation of life to create a path of reconnection to oneself.
A living space where one can meet, express, contribute — without betraying each other.
It was in this movement that my approach took shape through my different expatriations.
I don't believe in all kinds of recipes.
I believe in women.
To their transformative power, the strength of their history through their experiences abroad, and to the intelligence of their bodies, their hearts, their souls.
My support is holistic and pragmatic.
Allie la strategy (positioning, offer, visibility) Internal reconnection (energy, regulating your breathing, spirituality).
Becausean aligned business starts with an aligned woman.
My approach was born of a unique mixture:
– 25 years in the field Entrepreneurship, Business, Marketing
– a long path of introspection, formation and reconnection,
– and a deep faith in life, in those who surround me, and above all, in that greater than me, around me and in me, as in each of us.
Today I propose a holistic support, tailor-made, that marries strategy and spirituality, business and intuition, realization and sweetness.
Active with you 6 internal intelligences so that your business becomes a space for growth and expansion, and never again a source of exhaustion.
