I was born in France in 1955, where I attended the Ballet School of the Opera de Paris. As a teenager, I moved to Montreal with my parents where the facts of life awakened my compassion for suffering people. Wanting to contribute to progress, I considered a scientific career, and I graduated in biology at McGill University. When I finally became aware that man's well-being needs more than a materialistic understanding of reality, I obtained a doctorate in acupuncture that opened my mind to the metaphysical dimensions of human being.
This holistic paradigm led me to explore mind and diet as sources of diseases. I developed a comprehensive vegetarian cooking course in order to promote health and non-violence. I also practiced Rebirthing Breathwork and, when I felt ready to share this wonderful technique with others, I qualified as a practitioner with Leonard Orr, and later experienced Sudarshan Kriya, a similar technique taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Since there can be no permanent health and happiness without a satisfying spiritual life, I became a certified Hatha and Raja yoga teacher at Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, where I also worked as a graphic designer and translator.
However, I came to realize that classical yoga, despite its commercial success, has questionable results. I now wish to serve the Great Goddess by spreading the more life-affirming Tantric and Taoist traditions. I am particularly fond of Master Osho’s teachings whose breadth and depth can bring both self actualization and Self realization, as well as create beauty and love on the planet.
