Hi, I’m Pauline
I’m a self-worth and self-leadership coach for purpose-driven women leading meaningful work.
I help women who carry responsibility, impact, and vision to expand their influence without hardening, burning out, or sacrificing their love life.
My clients are ambitious, conscious women – leaders, executives, change-makers – who want success and intimacy, authority and connection.
Why I do this work
Because I’ve seen – and lived – the cost of power built on pressure.
I’ve worked for years in humanitarian leadership, managing programs in war-torn countries like Darfur, Congo, and Colombia.
High stakes. High responsibility. Constant urgency.
I was strong, capable, effective.
… and disconnected from myself.
Like many women of power, I knew how to lead in crisis –
but not how to rest, receive, soften, or let myself be met in love.
I see this pattern everywhere:
brilliant, sensitive women
dimming their light – or burning themselves out –
paying for impact with their bodies, their health, or their relationships.
I believe this is a waste.
And I believe women can have it all.
Power, love, and inner authority
My turning point was redefining power.
After years in the field, stress forced me to stop.
What started as a break led me to India and then to spend over a year living in an ashram, studying and teaching yoga.
That’s where I reconnected with my body.
With sensation.
With myself.
Later, my journey deepened into worthiness, love, and self-leadership –
understanding how operating in “warrior mode” had shaped my relationships.
When I learned to return to my body, trust myself, and take responsibility for my inner experience, everything shifted:
how I led,
how I loved,
how I chose partnership.
This is when I stopped chasing love –
and became available for it.
Today, I live between Brazil and the south of France with my partner and our young son.
This is the foundation of Sovereign
An embodied power.
Rooted in self-worth rather than performance.
Led from inner authority instead of control.
I now support women who are already leaders to become sovereign –
grounded in their body, clear in their mind, and powerful in their life and relationships.
My work integrates:
self-love as a lived foundation (nothing to fix)
body–mind–soul transformation
radical self-leadership
and a conscious integration of feminine and masculine energies
Not fighting the world as it is –
but becoming an active force of change from the inside out.
Training & Professional Foundations
My work is grounded in both lived experience and extensive professional training, including:
Master’s degree in International Law
Master’s degree in International Humanitarian Aid
Sex, Love & Relationship Coaching Certification (Tantric Institute for Integrated Sexuality)
Trauma-informed somatic work (Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System – BBTRS)
Advanced embodiment, meditation & consciousness training
(Yoga teacher training in India, Vipassana meditation, and long-term spiritual practice)
This work changed how I lead and how I love — without asking me to become someone else.
— Senior leader, humanitarian sector
If you want to lead powerfully without losing yourself —
and create relationships that meet you –
you’re in the right place.
See you soon
Pauline
