Oh dear… My apologies this morning! Slow wake-up today. I worked late last night. It’s gray. All is hushed and quiet. A good time to take my time over breakfast. Until I glanced at my e-mail and saw that a barely started draft had just been published (God knows by whom?) and sent to subscribers […]
HAHA! For the last episode of the year of my podcast The Element of JOY, I’m giving you a gift! A sweet, smiling gift. Have you heard of Maïtie Trélaüm? If you’re just discovering her today, you’ll want to learn more about this wonderful person! I have to admit that I listened to her episode […]
That’s it! I say yes (finally!), because you’ve been asking me for a long time! It’s the holiday season… so it’s the perfect time for gift-giving! People have been writing to me for a long time to find out when I’ll be offering workshops for the general public in Montreal, and well, it’s on the […]

Yeah… a lot of people have no choice but to turn to traditional medicine for a little hope. I chose another option. It’s not that traditional medicine is bad, but I’m […]

Véronique and I are testing things out here to see how they work and why I couldn’t do certain operations. Well… you’ll have […]
