A life shaped by the question of what it means to come home.

As a young adult, I spent eight years studying philosophy at McGill University. While philosophy gave me a language for exploring the deepest questions, I sensed there was more available than words alone could reach.

It was only when I journeyed to India that I began to understand the limits of a purely intellectual approach. During a year and a half of travel through India, I learned to meditate and, perhaps more importantly, discovered just how disconnected I had become from my own body and emotions.

I have now practiced meditation for over twenty years. It has been one of the greatest gifts of my life, opening my heart and profoundly shaping the way I understand myself and the world. Yet over time I realized that understanding myself was not the same as transforming myself. There were parts of myself I could understand intellectually but had never truly met with compassion.

After the birth of my second child, I went through a period of severe insomnia that I could not meditate my way out of. It was during this difficult time that I discovered Core Energetics.

As I began to work with anger, fear, sadness, and joy through the body, my sleep gradually returned. More importantly, something fundamental in my relationship with myself began to change. Instead of trying to become a better version of myself, I learned how to welcome the parts of myself I had spent years trying to fix.

Looking back, I don't believe I was searching for something I lacked. I was learning how to recognize what had been present all along. Today, it is a privilege to accompany others on that same journey — helping them reconnect with their bodies, discover the wisdom within their emotions, and remember the wholeness that has been there all along.
