Dance/Movement Therapy Practitioner
Lili is a French life-long passionate dancer, life-mentor, and former NGO’s Head of advocacy who has been dedicated her life to social justice, communities and individuals’ resilience. She is providing tailored-services for individuals, NGOs and Corporates worldwide, using the healing power of Art and Movement to build resilience through creativity and the body-mind connection.
Graduated from a MA in European and International Studies, she has worked in the Humanitarian Aid field for more than 10 years worldwide. Besides, she has completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) with the Creative Movement Therapy Association of India and St Mira’s College based in Pune, India. Lili is also a certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach, as well as certified Energy Healing practitioner.
She has been trained in diverse dance forms and has performed in NYC, Paris, and Asia. Her passion for Latin dance, especially salsa, led her to develop deep knowledge and core skills in powerful techniques she now uses in her Dance/Movement Therapy sessions to efficiently work on connection and communication.
Lili is an active advocate of social justice and believe that Art and Dance are powerful tools to raise-awareness and promote Human Rights. In this view, she is also working with organisations on communication, advocacy tools and events where Art and Dance are the main catalysts for change and awareness.
Based on her life experience, Lili has developed StepAhead as a safe space to support both individuals in their transformative journey and communities for social change.

“I met Lili at a time I was going through a transition of self-discovery and realization. She was a good listener, empathetic, understanding, and encouraging. Her openness allowed me to open up to her as well. She gave me a great gift that reflected her understanding of my current state, and a guidance to continue into the future. Having the courage herself of leaving everything she knew behind to pursue her life’s goals, Lili is the perfect asset to have by your side when going through a changing process. Always with a positive attitude, and perspective to guide in the right direction that works for you”
