The atypical journey of Christophe

A particularly painful childhood and teenage years... 

Born in Guadeloupe in the French Caribbean, Highly Sensitive, I grew up in a Creole family that was very saddened by successive and violent deaths, including that of my father who died by suicide when I was 7 years old. Throughout my teenage years, I faced other challenges including the deep depression of my mother. I evolved in a contrasting environment made of coconut trees, beaches, boats, ... and at the same time in a particularly dark family atmosphere. I was then cut in two, I was looking for meaning in a contradictory, incoherent and destructuring environment. 
These events pushed me very early on to ask myself questions about the meaning of life and death.

 

From the Guadeloupean life to the Parisian life... 
At the age of 18, I obtained my Scientific Baccalaureate with honors and I challenged myself to enter a business school in Paris by attending a HEC preparatory class. I entered INSEEC in Paris at the age of 20. While I was just adapting to life in Paris, I was once again faced with successive and sudden deaths, including that of my mother at the age of 21 and my grandmother at the age of 22, with whom I grew up and who raised and supported me during my mother's depression. 
I was then an orphan and continued on my path by pursuing my studies. 
To help me feel better, my intuition led me to experiment with natural and alternative approaches: I discovered the ACMOS Method in 2012. Interested by the beneficial effects, I decide to receive regular ACMOS sessions to support me. 

The beginning of my professional life in Paris …
When I was 25, I successfully completed my business school with a Master 2 in Audit and Management Control and I joined one of the largest consulting firms: EY (Ernst & Young) in La Défense, Paris. I was recruited as a management consultant in a department recognized and dedicated to the largest business schools such as HEC, ESSEC, EM Lyon. I worked with large CAC 40 companies such as AXA, L'Oréal, Institut Pasteur, La Caisse des Dépôts, etc. Thanks to this experience, I accepted a position as a Director in a Parisian company where I supervised some sixty employees, allowing me to develop my management expertise on field. 
In parallel to the ACMOS Method and to help me manage both professional and personal stresses (relationship breakups), I underwent psychotherapy which helped me to move forward for 3 years.  

 

The creation of OPS FORMATION and the international expansion ...
In 2016, I had the chance to meet René Naccachian, the creator of the ACMOS Method. 
Inspired by this meeting, I decided to follow my entrepreneurial instinct, leaving my position as Director to create my own company: OPS FORMATION. 
After being supervised for several years by René NACCACHIAN himself, I became a certified trainer of the ACMOS™ Method. These moments of exchange were particularly rich in teaching and I owe my expertise to them today.
In 2018, I created, in partnership with René Naccachian himself, the Elearning training platform ACMOS by OPS. He then shows me all his confidence to expand his Method. 
Since then, in addition to the management of the growing Elearning platform, I travel internationally to develop Acmos by organizing and leading in-person live training sessions: New Caledonia, Guadeloupe, Morocco, Nigeria, United States ... I also conduct practical workshops and conferences around the ACMOS Method in France and internationally.

 

Towards new encounters that will transform my life 

In 2019, during one of my participations in the "Bien-être & Médecines Douces" exhibition in Paris, I met Laurie, who would later on become my wife. Through her activity, I discovered  a complementary Transpersonal and Jungian approach to personal development. Very quickly, I have gotten the chance to meet the co-founders of this atypical approach. I launched myself in a long process of self-work through regular sessions with Pascale Polizzi, herself.

I finally succeeded in making sense of and finding answers to my questions about life and death, I (re)built and reconnected myself as I went along to all my facets as a "Highly Sensitive Person" and "shaman". 

 

Today, Laurie and I are based in Aix-En-Provence, France. We offer our expertise to support and train, among others, Highly Sensitive Persons through ACMOS™ individual sessions, coaching and group training sessions through various formats: in-person, at distance, and through e-learning, in France (Aix-En-Provence, Paris) and internationally (USA, Canada, Australia,...).
