My Journey of Spiritual Growth

It all began when I met the Dalai Lama

I was 18 years old, spending a semester of study abroad in Dharamsala, India when I attended a very special lecture. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was teaching for a weekend on the topic of attachment. I remember feeling this thawing in my heart. The places where I used to hold on to attachment to others with a constant painful fear that maybe they would leave or die. This lecture opened my heart to enjoy what is present and find more ease in surrending to life’s will.

Then, I began work with women

After graduating in Social Work, I began an International Law Master’s Degree where I studied the reproductive rights violations (forced abortions and sterilization) on Tibetan Women. It was a way for me to continue the advocacy for Tibetan’s rights in China, which had moved me so much during my trip. I also worked with the St-Vincent-and-the-Grenadines Human Rights association on the issue of domestic violence and sexual abuse in the country. We submitted a report describing the governement’s International Law violations to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. A few months later, the governement presented its first gender equality policy.

Then, I got involved in politics

This experience in India was also foundational in giving me a bigger picture of inequalities in the world. As a student in Social Work, I became a member and two-times running as a candidate for the provincial elections with Québec solidaire. This young left-wing party was all about social justice, equality and environment protection. I became the Head of the National Women’s Commission for Qs - supporting women to become candidates, and insuring a gender-differenciated analysis on the party’s political platform.

On a Tuesday night, my life totally changed when I discovered the world of feminine embodiment

At the time, I was working as a Social Worker with homeless people downtown Montréal. Even though my job was about supporting others, I had a lot of issues in my own life. My romantic relationship had fallen apart after years of insiduous manipulation. My intimacy was very challeging as I was experiencing pain during intercourse and I generally quite disconnected from my body.

I had the deep feeling that more was possible. This is when I discovered practices to connect to my body, to that feminine energy inside of me. I attended a few retreats and workshops before deciding to move to New York to complete for a full year of a a new coaching certification in a practice called Orgasmic Meditation.

Then, I became a coach and teacher

After working with my teachers in New York and San Francisco, I moved back to Montréal to build my own business and begin to share with the community all these amazing teachings I had just received. Something truly beautiful was happening in noticing the transformation women were experiencing in these spaces I was holding. I felt a profound clarity in being exactly where I needed to be.

I was still young in my work, and my own journey was continuing to unfold working through connecting to my own power, and capacity to create what was true for me.

It took me a while to get here

To experience this joy, this fullness in my life.

Recently a spiritual healer told me that my spirit animal is the Otter and I laughed.

It’s so true.

Deep down, this is who I am - joyous, playful, loving.

That doesn’t mean I haven’t had my fair share of pain and dark night of the soul.

But I do have this feeling of finally being back home in myself.

Then, Life brought me two beautiful girls who would call me their step-mom

Continuing to nourish that deep alignment in myself, I met the most wonderful man that I feel in love with. He quietly said to me that he had two daughters, afraid that I might run away. But it was the most wonderful gift. In 2020, I moved to Toronto to be with him and begin the whole new journey of parenting through the chaos of Covid and landing in a new city.
