Isabelle is a Yoga Instructor, SoulCollage® Facilitator, Alchemical Collage Facilitator, Intentional Creativity Coach, Intuitive Painting Teacher, and JourneyCircles™ & MoonCircles™ Facilitator.

Her search for inner balance and fullness began in her early twenties with the study of naturopathy. She felt a deep resonance with energetic medicines and concentrated her studies on Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, and the works of Dr. Bach.

In 1998, the well-being and wholeness felt during a yoga practice deeply touched her heart and she studied non-dualistic tantric philosophy for a decade with wise and experienced yoga teachers, obtaining 2 certifications as a yoga instructor.

In 2007, she discovered SoulCollage® at a workshop at the Kripalu Yoga Center and was delighted by this simple and yet powerful process, seeking the integration of all parts of self.  With a strong desire to deepen her knowledge and share this modality around her, she became a facilitator in 2013.

In 2014, her desire for artistic expression grew even more strongly and she began painting mandalas and studying the wholeness theories of Dr. Carl Jung, particularly on the archetypes, Then, in 2015, she began studies in Intentional Creativity and Intuitive painting, obtaining certifications in both these modalities.  

Since 2016, she has been continuing her study of the roles images and stories play in supporting our wholeness and expansion by completing both JourneyCircles™ + MoonCircles™ Facilitator Training through JourneyPath Institute, while furthering her explorations of various bookbinding techniques, art journaling, and painting. 

More recently, in 2023, she became an Alchemy Collage Facilitator, bringing together the somatic base practice of embodied exploration and visual storytelling, to discover new layers of truth and liberation with a culturally competent, social justice, democratized lens.  This modality is informed by each person’s Inner Alchemy, our inner authority not governed by other people’s rules and systems, free of judgment, cultural programming, and oppression. A wonderful tool to explore the intertwining of our personal and collective Liberation.


''I approach the act of artistic and corporal creation as a gateway to our inner wisdom, as a portal to access the deep messages contained within ourselves.

It is my sincere belief that, through various practices, we can access the desires contained in the depths of our being to live a life that is in alignment with the whispers of our soul.

I deeply believe that everyone can access this part of Self which is at the same time nourishing, healing, and powerful.''

Isabelle facilitates women's circles and workshops in which various ways to connect more deeply and instinctively with our inner wisdom are explored to live a life in authenticity with our own heart and reconnect to fullness.
