Why this workshop? I have long been confronted with chronic pain, with symptoms invisible to others’ eyes but constantly and strongly present in the body, for a long time without explanation. The diagnosis of spondylarthritis came years after the beginning of pain that was terrible for me. Thanks to several holistic therapies and trainings, I developed different strategies to reconcile the relationship to pain. The healing path I have been on for years allows me to always develop strategies and a lifestyle for living peacefully. I have become an ally to my body and recognize the importance of listening to physical symptoms.

Why this workshop? Following very intense periods of life, my body manifested itself with different symptoms that made me understand that I was disconnected from myself and I was living to perform, with a constant feeling of guilt when I allowed myself moments of free time.

I am constantly experimenting with strategies to live in harmony with time and I am pleased to share the techniques that have helped me and are helping me in my life.

What is Creative Journaling for me?
During experiences, Life has introduced me step by step to exceptional people, various holistic approaches, and broader visions of the Essence of human being.
Creativity has been especially crucial in my own confrontation with the management of physical pain, the symptoms developed by my body and the deep wounds in my soul. I continue to develop a relationship to body and spirit, discovering more and more how every symptom has meaning and explanation. We are all exceptional.
I am certified in New Creative Journaling™, a method combining writing, drawing and collage, which I personally propose in a simple way and adapted to the participants. I trained online at the Canadian School École le jet d’Ancre, by Anne-Marie Jobin. Thanks to this training, I began to guide workshops and see how much the practices that enriched me, helped me to understand myself and make myself better, also could have positive effects on the people mentored.
During the workshops, I propose some simple exercices to explore self-discovery, to welcome messages-surprise, to release emotions, and more!
It is with the intentions of transmitting well-being and mentoring to listening to oneself that I choose to guide Creative Journaling workshops.
