The decision that changed everything

One chapter closes, another begins. I remember the exact moment when I decided to end my modeling career. I just turned 21. I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize myself anymore. My body and mind were exhausted from the unhealthy and obsessive lifestyle I obliged myself to live. Strangly enough in the same moment when I experienced the lowest point of my life, I decided to take care of myself. No matter what I would look like or what people would think of me. This decision changed everything. It led me to France. It led me to surfing, the ocean, a new home in the forest - and many glasses of red wine (oui oui!) in front of the fire. All the while dreaming of a brand that portrays women differently. Through the use of imagery, natural materials and inspiring newsletters to help women reconnect with themselves on a deeper lever.
