A little about me: "...rediscovering the simple joys of everyday life..."

A passion that found its way back

From a child's first turns to advanced carving, from returning after an injury to exploring off-piste skiing or ski touring, I enjoy every aspect of teaching with any age and level.
I believe great skiing comes from combining technique, confidence, an understanding of the mountain and the right person that guide you through. My approach is personal, attentive and always focused on helping you progress safely, naturally and at your own pace.
I bring my experience, attention to detail and genuine passion to every moment we share. I’m here to listen, encourage , challenge you and share a few laughs along the way. Together, we’ll build trust, make progress and enjoy every single turns of the journey.

From passion to profession

My approach to teaching

Beyond teaching

My journey with skiing began at the age of three and grew into competitive alpine racing at FIS level.
Over the past decade, I've had the opportunity to teach skiing internationally, from Scotland to Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland. Along the way, I earned my full BASI ISTD qualification and Swiss Federal Diploma (Brevet Fédéral), and spent the last three years as Technical Director for a ski school.
I choose Verbier for its incredible mountains, sunshine, international atmosphere and proximity to home.
It's a place where I feel inspired every day.

What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing people grow in confidence, discover their potential and experience that wonderful feeling of freedom on skis.
Everyone learns differently. I love listening, observing and finding the little adjustments that make a big difference. Sometimes it's about technique, sometimes confidence, and often it's about discovering that skiing is much simpler than it seems.
My curiosity about movement also led me into personal training, helping me better understand the body, improve performance and reduce the risk of injury.

...then life took me elsewhere. I spent 13 years away from skiing, travelling the world, discovering new places and meeting people from different cultures.
...when I finally returned to the mountains, everything felt natural again. What started as a rediscovered passion soon became my profession, and eventually the career I couldn't imagine living without.
