Muriel

I studied theology and canon law at university, earning a BA and a Master’s degree, and and I am passionate about the education of young people, especially that of young Black African women.

I deeply believe that they are called to build a better world through their work. But to truly flourish, they need high-quality human formation. That’s why I offer guidance based on the development of essential life skills.

What You’ll Learn

  • You’ll discover the biological mechanisms behind emotional regulation, the role of the amygdala, the prefrontal cortex and the nervous system, and why regulating emotions is more challenging during adolescence.

  • You’ll learn how to recognise the signals in your body, put words to what you’re feeling, and allow your emotions to exist without running away from them or judging them.

  • You’ll see how to intervene at different moments of the emotional cycle, how your ability to regulate yourself develops, and how to adapt your reactions with flexibility and discretion.
