Let’s explore Paris together!
Hello! my name is Michelle. I am a mother of five daughters, and I’ve been living in France since 1995.
Paris, where my oldest daughter was born, holds many happy memories for me. However, in 2020, my life changed when I first experienced domestic violence. It was something I had never encountered before, neither in the home I grew up in nor my environment. I have dual American and French citizenship, and this was the first time I had to navigate the police, justice system, and the agencies that help and support victims in a foreign country. I was lost, ashamed and in shock.
It has now been four years since my life was turned upside down. Those years were long, confusing, difficult emotionally and often lonely. But through this painful experience, I found incredible resources and met wonderful people who reached out to help me heal.
Among the most important healing resources for me were flower markets, plants, gardens, and other therapeutic activities.
Today, I provide resources to women like me, here in Paris, focusing on their well-being. This includes spa, therapeutic activities and a monthly support group meeting designed to uplift and support each other!
If you’re in Paris, I’d love to meet you in person during our monthly healing club meetings. If you’re elsewhere in the world, I offer handmade bookmarks mailed directly from Paris, each one a token of peace and joy that I hope will help in your healing journey.
