Your Mindful Tasting Guide
"True flavor lives where food, awareness, and energy meet."
For over a decade, I’ve blended my two passions: the art of mindful tasting and the wisdom of Tai Chi, Qigong, and Sophrology. These practices taught me how to slow down, listen deeply, and turn every meal into a meditation. Now, I share this approach with travelers seeking more than just a food tour—they want a sensory awakening.
Why Mindful Tasting?
In a world of rushed meals, I design experiences where you’ll:
Taste with all your senses (sight, smell, touch—even sound).
Learn simple techniques from Tai Chi and Qigong to calm the mind before tasting (like pausing to breathe deeply before sipping wine).
Explore Sophrology-inspired exercises to heighten focus and joy in each bite.
"It’s not just about what’s on the plate—it’s about how you experience it."
My Story
My journey began in 2013, but it deepened when I realized how movement and mindfulness could transform tasting:
Tai Chi/Qigong: These ancient arts taught me balance, patience, and how to "feel" energy—principles I apply to savoring food.
Sophrology: A blend of relaxation and mindfulness that helps guests release stress and fully immerse in flavors.
For You: Whether it’s a chocolate tasting or a vineyard tour, I’ll share subtle techniques to make your experience richer.
