Host at Château de Séailles · Writer · Teacher · Coach
My family and I landed at Château de Séailles in 2022, after a slow migration that began in Johannesburg and worked its way — via London and a long stretch in California — to this corner of South West France. The chateau is now home to three generations of our family, and the gîte and the Orangery are how we share it: the grounds, the chef's kitchen, the salt-water pool, and the long quiet afternoons that the Gers does so well. Hosting is one of the great pleasures of life here, and a great deal of what we love about this place becomes visible only when there are guests in it.
Beyond hosting, I write, teach, mentor, and coach. I'm a certified yoga teacher, meditation instructor, chi gung instructor, chi nei tsang practitioner, and life and business coach; my contemplative home is in Vedanta and Tao. I teach self-awareness and nervous-system regulation at Prismatic Soul — the home of my book, online courses, mentoring, and week-long immersions held here at the chateau in the shoulder seasons. My coaching practice — focused on entrepreneurship, migration, parenting neurodivergence, and the great big moves that change everything — lives at Life's Daring Adventure.
