Marie has dedicated herself to traditional healing techniques since 2012. She came across Ayurveda while completing her training in Hatha Yoga. The mind-body-spirit way of healing coming from Ayurveda gave her a whole new perspective on how to deal with chronic illnesses, along with hope and essential keys to reclaim her own health.
Since then, Marie’s passion is to share the many benefits and simple solutions offered by Ayurveda, whether in the form of dietary recommandations, lifestyle changes, herbal treatments or traditional Ayurvedic massages. She also integrates Yoga, meditation, breathing techniques and energy healing as part of her therapeutic approach.
Always trying to reach people’s heart through great compassion, Marie offers a very unique blend of techniques tailored to each person’s needs.

Helen is a certified Health Coach specializing in women’s wellness and sleep. When Helen became pregnant with her first child, she realized that to have the energy needed to manage her career, pregnancy, and social life, she would need to better manage her ongoing sleep issues.

Through this journey she learnt first-hand the positive impact of wellness techniques such as breathing exercises, restorative yoga and meditation, alongside more mindful bedtime practices.
