A life of passion and challenges
HELLO
My name is Émilie
For as long as I can remember, sport has been my playground. As a child, I was the one who climbed everywhere, who tried out every sport imaginable: tennis, field hockey, trampoline, parkour, soccer...
and of course, my great love, freestyle skiing.
For over 10 years, I lived my life to the rhythm of this passion, accumulating titles, records and, above all, incredible memories that have shaped the coach I am today.
METAMORPHOSIS
From shyness to boldness
Believe it or not, I was a very shy child.
Being inconspicuous was my specialty. But what others didn't know was that I observed everything, decoding behavior to better understand people. This curiosity followed me into coaching, where I found the key to overcoming my shyness and achieving my full potential.
My motto?
"Don't limit your Challenges, Challenge your Limits."
It's with this mindset that I've made my dreams come true, whether it be setting two world records at the Guinness World Recordsin freestyle skiing and running, or winning 10 national titles and one European title.
RESILIENCE
Ups, downs and twists
Life as a sportswoman isn't always skiing on a soft layer of powder. I've had my share of injuries and obstacles.
But every fall has taught me to stand up stronger.
Reinventing the way I train, learning to protect my body while still having fun in sport, has taught me the importance of adaptation and resilience.
Values that I strive to pass on to every person I accompany.
ACHIEVEMENT
The Octoplus-Coaching adventure
In 2019, I took the next step by opening Octoplus-Coaching, my own gym in Saint-Jeoire, Haute-Savoie.
A unique complex that allows me to combine my experience, my training (physical trainer, ski instructor, corporate coach, certified mental trainer) and my passion for movement in all its forms.
This is where I continue to grow, both professionally and personally, while guiding my customers to their own success.
BALANCE
A new adventure:
life as a mom
In 2021, my life took an even more exciting turn with the birth of my daughter Mia.
A new adventure has begun for me, and I'm learning to juggle my passion for sport with my family life.
And guess what?
It's just as exciting as breaking a record!
LEARNING
Training, an art of living
I'm an eternal student.
For me, continuing to train is as natural as breathing.
Because I deeply believe that to be an effective coach, you have to stay at the cutting edge of knowledge.
As Nelson Mandela so aptly put it:
"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world."
Every new insight I gain is an opportunity to transform my customers' lives, guiding them step by step towards their personal fulfillment.
TRANSFORMATION
My approach:
movement is life
Since I launched Octoplus-Coaching, I've had the privilege of coaching over 1,000 people.
Whether it's to lose weight, improve physical or mental fitness, or strengthen team spirit in a company, my greatest satisfaction is to see my clients blossom, grow in confidence, and reach heights they thought unreachable.
For me, sport is much more than a physical activity. It's a way of reconnecting with oneself, giving meaning to one's actions, and discovering the pleasure of surpassing oneself.
So, now that you know my story, are you ready to write your own with me?
