The water became my playground when I was just a toddler. Since then, I spent as much time as possible playing in the water. From under it, to flying over it, or gliding on it, I experienced and mastered all kinds of water sports.
Naturally, I oriented my life to a job related to water. Trained as a lifeguard when I was 17 years old, I decided at 23 to upgrade and became a swimming instructor. Sharing my knowledge and passion in luxury (Five years at Cheval Blanc, LVMH hotellerie, Fouquest’s Barriere in Paris, high-end clientele of villas, Palaces, and yachts in St Tropez since 2009.), I realized how any activity is fully dependent on a good fitness and health level. This is how I got certified in the Pilates method in 2008, and Personal Training in fitness in 2009. I then became a Kiteboarding Instructor of the International Kiteboarding Organisation (IKO) in 2011 and a divemaster PADI in 2012.
I decided to split my years in two. Winter season in the French Alps at Cheval Blanc Courchevel (2007-2012), and summer on the French Riviera in Saint-Tropez after some summers of beach lifeguarding on the French West Coast. After a winter of experience in the Maldives for the pré-opening of Cheval Blanc Maldives, I then spent two winters in the Caribbean developing and VIP training the market of new water toys: Jetsurf.
Since 2014, I now spend my winters in Asia. Starting in Vietnam, I am now settled down in the Philippines where I focus more on wind watersports such as kiteboarding, windsurfing, and sailing.
Attention to details is a skill that comes with experience. The twelve years I spent in the fitness industry with high-end clientele taught me how to constantly adjust my services as well as myself. Each of my client’s activity programs is tailor-made to specifically please all their needs and is definitely something that they will enjoy and remember for years.
