About me

Welcome to my teacher’s profile! Let me introduce myself. I have always been an out-of-the-box thinker and tend to approach life in an original way. From as long as I can remember, I always felt a deep yearning to live a meaningful and truthful life and a visceral desire to help others. I think that is why I decided to study and become a health care professional.

I have been a licensed community pharmacist since 2001. Most of the time, I have a very unconventional approach. I always treated patients considering their total being and never addressed only a health issue at a time. For this reason, in 2008, I decided to seize the opportunity and bought the pharmacy franchise I was working at. That way, I could have complete liberty about how I helped patients and how much time I spent with each of them.

From a self-growth perspective, I have been learning, exploring and using different meditation and well-being disciplines in the past ten years. During the last two years, I mainly focused on Mindful Self-Compassion and Gratefulness meditations through numerous workshops and retreats. All this exploration made me realize humans are much more complex and complete than just body and mind. Consciousness, health and love, light and energy are part of human beings as well. Therefore, I became a believer and supporter of a more integrative approach to health (which includes both western science and traditional eastern knowledge).

In November 2023, I decided to try something new. I had heard a lot about Qigong positive effects on health. So, I attended a four day Yuan Gong retreat in Eastman, Québec where the first two methods were introduced. I was quite surprised of the positive effects I felt (similar to meditation). Mostly, I was amazed by the inner peace with which I returned home. Then, I knew Ren Xue was an amazing path that needed to by followed and I planned to share what I had discovered by becoming a teacher some day. In January 2024, I decided to take a deep dive and registered for the teacher training program! In March 2024, I finished Level 1 and decided to register for Level 2.

I am looking forward to help people discover and practice Yuan Gong. Together, we can support ourselves on our paths towards a better, happier and healthier self.
