Maxine Aguila

Conférencière en Développement Personnel par le Sport – Kinésithérapeute, Experte en Santé et Bien-être

Passionnée par l’amélioration de la vie personnelle et professionnelle à travers le sport, la nutrition et la gestion du bien-être, je me consacre à aider les individus à retrouver leur équilibre, à se dépasser et à prendre en main leur propre transformation.

Diplômée en kinésithérapie, j’ai exercé pendant plus de cinq ans, dont deux années en accompagnement individuel intensif avec mes patients. Cette expérience m’a permis de voir de près à quel point les souffrances physiques et émotionnelles sont interconnectées. Fascinée par la volonté humaine et notre capacité à transformer nos vies, j'ai complété ma formation avec un master en management de la santé et des certifications en nutrition. Je me suis spécialisée dans l'impact du rythme circadien, de l’alimentation, et de l’activité physique sur la performance et le bien-être global.

En plus de ma carrière de kinésithérapeute, mon parcours personnel a profondément façonné mon approche du développement personnel. Après avoir traversé un burn-out, des troubles alimentaires sévères, et des défis émotionnels, j’ai découvert que le sport pouvait être un moteur puissant de guérison. C’est en me lançant des défis sportifs comme la préparation d’un marathon que j’ai repris le contrôle de ma vie, en retrouvant la santé mentale et physique, tout en réapprenant à m’aimer et à prendre soin de moi.

Aujourd’hui, je partage cette approche lors de conférences dynamiques et inspirantes, où je montre comment chacun peut devenir l’entrepreneur de sa propre vie. Que vous soyez dirigeant, entrepreneur ou simplement en quête de bien-être, je vous aide à dépasser vos limites, à développer votre détermination et à entreprendre des actions concrètes pour améliorer votre vie.

Je crois fermement que, quel que soit votre métier ou vos responsabilités, vous avez le pouvoir d’agir pour transformer votre existence à travers le changement, l’adaptation et la discipline sportive. Mon objectif est de vous transmettre cette vision, et de vous donner les outils pour que vous puissiez créer votre propre version du succès, tant physique que mental.

Thématiques de conférence :

Dépassement de soi et motivation par le sport : Comment le défi sportif peut devenir un levier puissant pour la transformation personnelle.
Gestion du stress et équilibre de vie : Utiliser l’activité physique pour trouver l’harmonie entre vie professionnelle et personnelle.
L’impact du rythme circadien et de la nutrition : Optimiser votre santé et vos performances grâce à une gestion éclairée de votre rythme biologique.
La prise de décision et l’action : Devenir l'entrepreneur de votre propre vie, en instaurant des changements concrets et durables.
