Photoshoot in Paris
Want to know why I love doing photo shoots with Marie?
1. She’s an incredible multidisciplinary artist who makes me feel beautiful and inspired every time I see her.
2. When I run out of pose ideas, Marie always has plenty—but she also knows how to leave room for my little bursts of creativity.
3. Tired of overly serious photographers who take themselves too seriously? Marie is fun, kind, and makes you laugh so much that the shoot flies by.
4. I love every single photo Marie has taken of me. And that’s pretty amazing, isn’t it?

I love working with Marie because, no matter what she does, she always brings a very feminine signature to her work. Our photo shoots always end up being long because we click both professionally and as friends. I see her a bit like a little fairy, drawing people into her universe—soft and dreamlike.
When we work together, we find ourselves in a bubble, outside of time. We always take a moment to pause and share our vision of the world. And yes! Picture this: two blondes philosophizing over a table between shots!

I feel so grateful to have met Marie!! You'll immediately fall in love with her and with her amazing job.
It's just magical what she does. I've never felt so comfortable during a photo shoot. Her vision, how she works with light, with space, with emotion... It's pure passion and art.
Thank you for making me see myself as an extraordinary being. You're amazing, Marie

Mural art in Koh Phayam Island, Thailand
It was lovely to have Marie with us for around three weeks. Our plan was only two weeks but she extended her stay just to get the work done (the wall is 8 meter long and she also painted one other mural) which we truly appreciated. She arrived at the right moment when we really needed someone like her since we had plans to make new murals. She’s talented and a funny person with a good sense of humor. She painted two big murals for us and they look incredibly amazing and even better than the ones we had before. One is located in the main area of the bar when the band plays, she kept the reggae spirit alive with a stunning portrait of Bob Marley overlooking a Thai landscape. She did it fondly and professionally and was very independent. Merci beaucoup mama Marie for you energy and effort xx
Saint James way: Personalized guidance on the Portuguese route
Hiking the Camino de Santiago with Marie, from Porto to Santiago, was an incredible experience—not just physically, but above all, on a human level.
Marie was present long before the journey even began, offering valuable advice on physical preparation and gear while sharing her own experiences and the philosophy of the Camino. As a seasoned hiker of the Bulgarian mountains and a lover of long urban walks, I prepared myself gradually, perhaps underestimating Marie’s warnings about the physical toll of sustained effort over multiple days. But Compostela is not just a casual Sunday stroll—it’s a true endurance challenge.
Thankfully, the beauty of the path, the inspiring encounters, Marie’s clever tips, moral support, encouragement, contagious good humor, and mischievous spirit turned this journey into a deeply rewarding adventure. Despite the fatigue and occasional pain, I experienced moments of pure joy. This trek also helped me realize many aspects of my life that needed improvement—and together, Marie and I even crafted an action plan to enhance those areas in my daily routine moving forward.
One thing is certain: without her, I would have missed out on so many beautiful experiences. She pushed me to give my best, and that is priceless. I wouldn’t go as far as calling it a spiritual journey, but my path was filled with moments of pure grace—moments I will always cherish in my heart.

Intuitive Chef for events
Marie has been a key part of our kitchen team for several years during seminars organized by our association, Marche ta Parole, where we hosted between 20 and 40 people per day for 10 days.
In the summer of 2019, I invited her to take on the role of head chef for our small community, and she willingly embraced the responsibility. It’s important to understand that the cook is the second most essential person after the camp leader. A well-prepared, nutritious, and varied diet not only delights the palate but also nourishes the mind. And mastering vegetarian cuisine is truly an art.
Marie embodies all these qualities—and more. She took us on a culinary journey, offering a variety of flavors each day, creating visually appealing dishes through her keen sense of color and presentation. Beyond her cooking skills, she is an excellent manager, carefully budgeting and creatively transforming leftovers into new, delicious meals.
We were 100% satisfied, and even those who initially planned to join us for only one or two meals quickly became regulars for the rest of the seminar.
Thank you again, Marie, for your kind and warm presence. Leading a kitchen team requires patience, coordination, and leadership—qualities you have in abundance.
See you next year…!

Watercolor introduction workshop
The watercolor workshop I attended, led by Marie, was truly eye-opening.
I have never taken formal drawing or painting lessons; I’ve always let my imagination flow freely when sketching with pencil or charcoal or painting with oils. However, I quickly realized that watercolor presents an entirely different challenge.
This workshop was incredibly beneficial—first, for learning fundamental techniques essential to mastering watercolor, and second, because Marie created a welcoming and inspiring environment where we all felt at home. In a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, she answered all our questions with patience and ensured that everything we needed was readily available.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone curious about watercolor, whether or not they aspire to become a great maestro. The results might just surprise you!
