About Brigitte        

 

 

 

 

Brigitte trained as a Rebirther in Venezuela with Viola Edward in 1995 and has been working with the Breath since, facilitating individual sessions and leading groups in various countries and in different languages.

In the last year she has been setting up a Rebirthing school, the Avalon Institute of Rebirthing (AIR) with Doug Sawyer, a dear colleague from Bristol.

Brigitte is the President of the International Breathwork Foundation (IBF) which groups professional Breathworkers and people interested in the Breath in more than 22 countries all around the world. She is as well a practioner member of the British Rebirth Society (BRS) the national body of professional Rebirthers.

Brigitte was born and grew up in the French speaking part of Switzerland. At 16, choosing a career was not easy. She couln't think of anything that would encompass all of her passions: the world, its people, making a difference, peace and love. She ended up graduating as an economist and worked for many years for the Swiss government and then for an NGO in Lesotho in Southern Africa. Those were very good jobs, but her quest continued.

In 1988, she started to inquire on the path of personal development and her life got better and better. Rebirthing was particularly instrumental in doing so. She loved the way it looked after the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies all at once, with such gentleness and "effectiveness".

Brigitte believes that the most powerful way to make the world of better place is to start with ourselves. After all these years she is more than ever passionate about the world, its people, making a difference, peace and love, but now she has found the career that matches all these passions perfectly.

Brigitte has been living in the UK for the last 11 years, with Alan and Zoe, their now 17-year-old daughter. She works in English, French and Spanish.
