T1D travel expert & founder of the Diabetic Travelers Network
T1D for 28 years, I spent a decade traveling the world and building a thriving life abroad. As an athlete (triathlon, swimming), I’m living proof that diabetes can be a small detail in your life. I’m living proof that you don’t have to shrink your life around T1D. You get to take your power back and live life on your terms.
I coach T1Ds to rise from the weight of restriction and overwhelm and step into their most vibrant, empowered, and limitless selves. Through nutrition, blood sugar mastery, personal power work, and world-class adventures, I help you become the person who doesn’t just manage diabetes; she lives unapologetically fearless and free with it.
Whether it's through my signature program, Fearless & Free™, or our boutique adventures around the world, my work is all about helping you adapt diabetes to your life desires, travel the world with ease, and eat food you truly love, unbound by type 1 diabetes.
Your diagnosis may have changed your path, but it didn’t change who you are. I believe that diabetes is a strength and that travel is a catalyst for growth.
This life of freedom you crave? It is yours to claim.
It’s time. Together, we rise.

Let me share one last thing, Right before I took my first plane to Australia, security stopped me at the airport and confiscated all my ice packs; leaving my insulin at room temperature.
I was devastated and felt STUCK. I ran around the airport looking for a solution without success. I was in PANICK. I remember thinking to myself “what were you thinking? Going 6 months to Australia with diabetes is such a stupid idea.”
At that moment, I had a choice.
Take the risk and embark on a 24-hour trip that could be one of the most amazing experiences of my life or go home and be miserable.
I used the chocolate ice cream from the meals served on the plane, which I placed in my cooler. 24 hours later, happy to have arrived in my new home, I started the travel adventure I for long dreamed of.
Noosa, Australia
London, United Kingdom
Bali, Indonesia
Maspalomas Dunes, Canary Island
It wasn’t long after my return to France that I moved to the UK (still based there as of 2022) and started working and living there. I am saying based because I am literally traveling all around the world from there 🙈.
Moving from French healthcare to the UK one wasn’t an easy task (I spent so many hours stressed figuring things out and wondering if I could even make it work.) but I am glad I kept going as I now have experience being an ex-pat and I know how to get my supplies prescribed in any country I am going to live in.
Later on, I spent a month deepening my Yoga practice in Bali. Diabetes knowledge there is pretty low and there is only one hospital that has a diabetes department.
I took all my supplies with me and had an amazing month meditating, discovering the island, eating healthy bowls, sunbathing, and hiking to sacred Balinese temples.
Not so different than the time last year when I packed my bag and headed to the Canary Island for a month and a half of “Working From Home” sun and bliss.
I am here to show you that diabetes can be a tiny detail in your life. That you don’t have to live your life as a victim of your diagnosis.
Life is unpredictable even without diabetes, and I’m here to show you how to build the confidence & the know-how to take your power back.
