Short Documentary

Coralie’s journey is deeply rooted in a love for gourmet cuisine and a deep connection to nature. Raised in a family passionate about fine dining, she spent much of her childhood at her grandfather’s Relais & Châteaux in the French countryside, where he was an acclaimed chef. During those formative years, she absorbed the values of sustainable farming, respecting the land, and cultivating nature’s finest offerings—principles that continue to guide her today.

With a keen sensory awareness, Coralie was naturally drawn to the world of wine. At just 25, she opened a wine bar in Brussels, where for five years she delighted in introducing people to exceptional wines and regional cuisine.

Her curiosity led her to study naturopathy in Belgium, where she met a Chinese medicine master who introduced her to the Yi-King philosophy—an ancient wisdom that explores the profound relationship between humans and plants. Inspired by this knowledge, she began crafting herbal remedies to help people understand their hormonal balance and maintain overall well-being.

After selling her wine bar and embarking on a year-long journey around the world, she discovered the Seychelles—the perfect place to bring her vision to life. There, she founded Yi-King, a project dedicated to sourcing rare ingredients from the lush forests of Seychelles to create organic, nature-inspired care products.
