About Me

I'm Yu, a life coach and photographer based in Paris.

I specialize in supporting creative professional who are living abroad — or preparing to — especially those navigating the complexity of starting over in Europe.

After living in France for over 10 years, facing language barriers, identity struggles, and the long journey toward French citizenship, I’ve learned how to transform loneliness into power, chaos into clarity, and self-doubt into grounded confidence.

Through 1:1 coaching and emotional management tools, I help you reconnect with your strength, clarify your path, and build a life where you feel motivated — inside and out.

You’re not alone. You belong here, and your story matters.

What I Offer in 1:1 Coaching:
