A word from joyce
“I never thought climbing mountains would be this life-changing, and it couldn’t have been this way without the professional support I received during my preparation.
At the beginning of my journey, I was blessed with my coach, Georges, who happens to be my brother, and my initial support system, to train me and push me to reach new heights.
I was lucky to be coached smartly and effectively to build the needed physical and mental strength to climb my mountains.
Today, after climbing more than 30 mountains including Mount Everest and the 7 Summits, I’m ready to provide you with all the possible solutions, working around your limitations to help you climb your own mountains.
The mountains have taught me to be patient, to be insistent, to be stronger, and to be ambitious.
Mountains are my mentors!”
