“I want a big life. I want to experience everything. I want to break every single rule there is… Being a coward is only cute in The Wizard of Oz.”
Hi, I’m Emmanuelle Beaufort!
I’m French-American, a life coach, mother of two, lover of deep conversations and spontaneous inspiration, and your guide for Pivot in Paris.
Midlife brought me one of the most important questions I’ve ever faced: Who am I now?
Instead of shrinking from it, I chose to lean in.
Rooted in Two Cultures
Raised between the vibrancy of American optimism and the elegance of Parisian life, I’ve always danced between contrasts—head and heart, freedom and refinement, soul and intellect.
That duality has become my superpower. It's also the soul of Pivot in Paris.
I Spent Years Searching for a Big Life…
… until I learned how to create it.
I studied psychology, philosophy, and film. I journaled, mothered, doubted, burned out, and reinvented myself again and again.
But it wasn’t until I became a life coach that I stopped waiting for the life I dreamed of—and started building it from within.
Now, I help other women do the same: stop chasing and start choosing.
Yes, I’m Certified
But More Importantly, I’m Seasoned.
Certified Life Coach (The Life Coach School)
NLP Master Practitioner
Trained in Hypnotherapy
5+ years coaching women through major life transitions
And most importantly? I’m in midlife myself. I get it.
Pivot in Paris blends everything I love: deep personal transformation, emotional clarity, joyful discovery, and the breathtaking setting of Paris.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a soulful pause, a reinvention, and a turning point wrapped in beauty and meaning.
You don’t need to arrive with all the answers. You just need an open heart and a desire to live the second half of life on your terms.
