Our first meeting
The first meetings are a time to speak about what brings you, without any obligation to continue. They allow us to hear what is at stake and to decide whether to begin, and in which language, or languages.
Our first meeting can be arranged by email: contact@frederiquestref.com. A few lines are enough. I reply within a few days to suggest a time.
