MY MISSION

My name comes from the Latin lux — light. My role is to bring it: to shine it on blind spots, on old patterns, on the places that have been sitting in the dark. But the current runs both ways. Every client illuminates something in me, and I finish every program a slightly different person than I began it.

That's why my mission moves as two parallel currents: I coach others, and through that same work I keep growing. I mentor new coaches, I never stop training, and I've sat in the client's chair too — a full year of being coached in this very methodology. I wouldn't trust a coach who had stopped growing. Neither should you.

The times demand this kind of work. Ours is a loud, divided moment — polarization, identity crises, nervous systems running on thin, connection everywhere and belonging almost nowhere, even conversation itself handed over to machines. Coaching can't be a formula in a world like this, so I adapt the practice to the real conditions of each life. And through it all, I keep a space where things still work the way they should: one human being listening deeply to another. Zero judgment. Depth of thought and feeling. Honesty, and the kind of accountability that follows it — all protected by the International Coaching Federation's code of ethics. What you bring here stays here.

That is the work: to light what's hidden, and to be lit in return.

MY VALUES

WHOLENESS

You're not a problem to be solved — you're a whole person. Mind, body, emotion, spirit: everything touches everything, and we work with all of it.

CURIOSITY

Judgment closes doors; curiosity opens them. I'll always be more interested in understanding you than in labelling you — and I'll teach you to meet yourself the same way.

HONESTY

I'll tell you the truth, kindly. Some of it will be uncomfortable — that's the compass. Where the resistance shows up is where the work lives.

PRESENCE

In our sessions, you have all of me. Deep listening, full attention, nothing on autopilot. Most people can't remember the last time someone listened to them like that.

AGENCY

The shifts we make are real ones — which means you make them happen. My job is to ask the right questions and shine a light; the answers, and the credit, are yours.

TRUST

Everything you bring stays between us. Come as you are — the mess and the magic both welcome. No judgment, no performance needed here.

PRACTICE

Insight is a spark; practice is the fire. We turn every realisation into something small and doable you can live daily — that's how change outlasts our work together.

LIGHTNESS

Growth is serious work. We don't have to be solemn about it. There's room for laughter in every session — sometimes it's exactly what the moment needs.

ABOUT COACHING

What Coaching Is

Coaching is a working partnership with one focus: you. We'll take a look at your life as it is today — and move it in the direction you want it to go.

Together we'll notice what's actually going on: the patterns you can't quite see from the inside, the stories you've been telling yourself, the places you're stuck. Then we'll build practices that move you forward — concrete, doable, and designed around your life rather than borrowed from someone else's.

My Integral Coaching® approach means we work with all of you — mind and body, work and home, doing and being. And I aim to make myself unnecessary: my job isn't to have you rely on me, but to leave you able to see yourself clearly and correct your own course, long after our work together ends.

Fair warning: some of our conversations could be uncomfortable. That's not a flaw in the process — it's the compass. Where the resistance shows up is where the work lives.

What Coaching Is Not

It's not therapy. We'll honour your past, but we won't live there — coaching looks forward.

It's not advice. I won't hand you a plan for your life; I'll ask the questions that help you find your own answers.

It's not magic. There's no trick — the shifts we make are real ones, which means you make them happen.

And it's not one-size-fits-all. You won't be fed through a program. We build one around you and what’s most alive for you right now.

FIRST STEP, THIS WAY

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

LIFE TRANSITIONS

Before coaching, the only thing I'd tried was denial — thinking I could do everything on my own. Today I feel calmer, more connected to my narrative: writing my own story. Recognising myself as a brave person has refocused many aspects of my life.

LEADERSHIP & EXPAT LIFE

A dream leadership position in Switzerland came with a completely new culture and a different set of expectations. Now I feel more in control, more flexible, inclusive in thought, and happier at the end of the day.

CURIOSITY, NOT JUDGEMENT

Before coaching I was at a crossroads — in a company whose culture was out of alignment with my values. Today I feel much calmer, with a greater sense of agency over my emotions and my life. I look at whatever arrives with curiosity rather than judgment — a journey into self-discovery I wish I had done ten years ago.

I GOVERN MY OWN CHANGE.

I was juggling a new job and family challenges, trying to make it look like I had it all together — and taking strain. Lu helped me realise that I govern my own change, that I have the choice about how I want to show up every day. I continue to see sustained change even though our coaching journey is over.

INTO THE CIRCLE

When we moved abroad with our family, I was carrying all the changes and emotions almost entirely on my own. What shifted during our work together is hard to overstate: I don't have the bee nest in my head anymore — I can think clearly again. Before, I was the woman behind the glass. Today, I'm a woman who steps into the circle — not asking for forgiveness, not asking for anyone's permission.

LEARNING TO SAY NO

I didn't know how to manage the stress of a new job, a house move, and being in a foreign country. The biggest breakthrough was learning to make clear requests — and to say no without feeling bad about it. I found a great new job, and I'm confident I can do it well; I feel more assured in my overall life.

THE GOLDEN THREAD

I came to coaching feeling confused about decisions I had to make, and unsettled as a new foreigner in the country. It was a difficult season — including a death in my family — and Lu adapted to what I needed in every session, while keeping me tied to the "golden thread" we had co-created together. Today, I feel so much better. It has been transformational.

A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LIFE.

A year ago I was on the edge of burnout — working in banking in Geneva, exhausted, running on autopilot. A few months after our program ended, I did something I never imagined I'd have the courage to do: I resigned and started my own business, pursuing a passion I'd been putting aside for years. I thought coaching would help me cope with a difficult job. What it actually gave me was the clarity and confidence to build a completely different life.

PRESSURE TO PRESENCE

When I met Lu, I said "I want to be a leader, not just a boss." What I got was a 360-degree review of who I was — not just at work, but as a partner, a father, a friend. Leadership doesn't start in the boardroom; it starts with the relationship you have with yourself. I stopped leading through pressure and started leading through presence — and I genuinely enjoy leading again.

FINALLY HERE WITH US.

From the outside I looked healthy — I trained, I ate well, I believed a healthy body meant a healthy mind. But I was impatient, reactive, emotionally unavailable, and my family was paying the price for stress I thought I was carrying alone. The biggest change isn't that I became calmer. It's that my family experiences me differently — my wife told me, "It feels like you're finally here with us." That means more to me than any professional achievement ever could.
