ABOUT MARIE-ANNICK
WELCOME AND BIENVENUE!
ABOUT ME
My life has been a journey of overcoming challenges, finding joy, and realizing my dreams. I grew up in Paris (France) where I had to deal with dyslexia, abusive teachers, sexual assaults, and the painful loss of my best friend by suicide. Table tennis, travel, and Buddhism helped me heal, grow, and design my dream life. With the support of my family, coaches, and friends; I transformed from a rebellious teenager to a world-class athlete, a successful entrepreneur, and a wellness leader. For a few decades, I coached athletes from world-class levels to recreational clubs and youth programs. Coaching is a joy to me and helping others is my gratitude, as I have received much kindness throughout my life.
I launched my coaching business in 2000 with the main goal of promoting healthy eating and lifestyle. My professional mission led me to work with the scientific and medical community, the fitness and sports industries, chefs and culinarians, educational and non-profit organizations, to religious leaders and farmers. I published dozens of books and created various educational programs. I coached enterprises and many individuals to embrace a healthy lifestyle. I certified thousands around the world through my Healthy Chef Certification Program and I am proud to have inspired healthier approaches in many industries in the United States and abroad. I invite you to check out my work and credentials below.
