Let’s chat 1:1 about your goals:
Nan (short for Nadège) used to be an English teacher in Paris, but now she helps people feel better about food and their bodies. She knows what it’s like to struggle with eating too much and feeling like food is in charge. She’s been there, but now she’s in control. Nan is a trained Life and Weight Loss Coach who is certified from The Life Coach School and Corinne Crabtree’s No BS Weight Loss University.
Nan used to eat when she was stressed, but now she doesn’t binge or snack mindlessly anymore. She eats what works for her and still enjoys her favorite foods, like chocolate. She believes you should enjoy life!
At 50, Nan did something she never thought she could do—she became a bodybuilder! She lost three dress sizes and feels strong, healthy, and happy. She wants to stay fit and live a long life, just like her grandmother, who’s 106 years old!
For over five years, Nan has helped people stop overeating, beat cravings, and reach their goals. She helps them feel proud and in control, no matter what. Nan’s approach is simple, kind, and focuses on changing the way you think. Her clients stop overeating, lose weight, and feel healthier without guilt, shame or strict rules.
Nan lives in Paris with her sweet cat Eva, her husband, and their two kids who speak both French and English. She believes that change can be easy and fun if you have the right mindset and small, healthy habits. When she’s not coaching, she loves to walk around Paris, lift weights, read, and watch The Big Bang Theory with her family. Nan’s goal is to help everyone create a life they love.
