Halcyon Collectif emerged from a deep-seated desire to equip individuals with effective tools and techniques aimed at unlocking their fullest human potential through mindfulness-based practices. "Halcyon" evokes a serene, joyful, and peaceful state, while "Collectif" signifies a shared space where common interests converge—namely, ongoing self-improvement and fulfillment in life. Founded by Véronique, Halcyon Collectif serves as a sanctuary for imparting guidance and motivation, nurturing mental agility, and enhancing overall well-being.

With over two decades dedicated to practicing and studying mindfulness and performance coaching, Véronique brings a wealth of expertise. Since 2018, she has been actively teaching mindfulness meditation to diverse audiences, including corporations, healthcare professionals, and athletes, both in-person and virtually across the globe.

Armed with a master’s degree in health and healthcare economics, Véronique spearheaded IBM’s North American mindfulness program, touching the lives of over 30,000 individuals across 44 countries. Later, as Director of Partnerships at Headspace, she continued her mission, training teams and strategic clients in mindfulness and meditation practices.

Today, Véronique focuses on coaching high performing individuals, corporate clients, groups, and physicians in mindfulness, meditation and mental wellbeing, aiming to empower individuals to curate lifelong toolkits tailored to fit their needs.

Véronique's journey into mindfulness began as a personal quest, seeking support and resilience in her own life. Witnessing firsthand its transformative impact, she became impassioned about sharing these benefits with others. Her extensive training includes certifications from renowned programs like Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Yale University's Science of Well-Being, among others.

During the global pandemic, Véronique responded to the escalating mental health crisis by expanding her offerings to include mindfulness-based behavioral health programs. These initiatives addressed critical topics such as stress relief, resilience building, and enhancing cognitive performance. In our current post-pandemic world these programs are ever more vital.

Currently based between Washington D.C., Coastal Delaware, and Chicago, Véronique continues her mission to coach and train in mindfulness, meditation and wellbeing to individuals, teams and organizations for cultivating equanimity, compassion and mental fortitude.
