A woman of heart and action, catalyst for change and raising awareness, Brigitte weaves her relationships and projects where vision, finesse, depth and relevance are in harmony. Her vision is broad, multifaceted and inclusive, with the human being at the centre of her concerns. Introduced to meditation at the age of 21, this has led her to question herself about various cultures. Fluently bilingual, Brigitte can also communicate in Spanish and Italian.
From an early age, Brigitte has been around personalities from a wide range of scientific and artistic backgrounds, which has sharpened her curiosity. She has been honing her skills and expertise through numerous training courses, lectures and participating in conferences and seminars for over 40 years. As a speaker, she shares her expertise.
Fascinated by the positive impact of good leadership, intelligent communication and discoveries in neuroscience, she continues her quest for knowledge, challenging and motivating her to create avenues where their application can be optimized for the benefit of the patient.
Working in the fields of design, arts and health, Brigitte understands the human being as a whole where environment, influences, awareness, choices and health prevention shape the future of the individual. Her innovative spirit positions her as a catalyst for change, and her influence is widely recognized. Guided by her values and her desire to give back to others, she has been actively involved in philanthropy for 30 years.
