So many people dream of moving to Paris, and living an enchanted life in this breathtakingly beautiful city. I arrived in Paris, completely prepared to live my dream, and I learned very quickly that Paris takes your breath away in more ways than one! Settling here can be a challenge, and living a beautiful expat life in Paris required a bit more work than expected. Learning French is a key element to getting the most out of Parisian life, and feeling at home.

An Ontario (Canada) certified French Teacher with 10 years of teaching experience, I moved to Paris with my French husband in 2015. It was my dream to live in Paris a second time, after spending a year teaching in “The City of Light”, in 2006. Very shortly after arriving, we found out I was pregnant! It was a beautiful surprise, yet there was so much to learn and process.

I know first-hand how exhilarating, overwhelming and down right scary it can be to be a new mom in Paris. I help moms learn the basics – and beyond, to build confidence speaking French and to navigate life in the capital.
