Rooted in the heart of the boreal forest during my childhood, I had the privilege of forging deep connections with nature. It was within this forest that my sensitivity awakened to its mysteries and elements.

Currently, my commitment is expressed within the «Coopérative des Forêts et des Gens» located in Petite-Nation, where I can breathe life into my passions for nature and ancient knowledge.

Throughout my journey, I have been guided by mentors with whom I deepened my explorations, immersing myself in three creative paths: herbalism, leathercraft, and fiber work.

These paths, like the branches of ancient trees, have helped me root a deeper understanding of the natural world within myself. Animated by the wisdom of the elements and guided by educators who nurtured in me the desire to share this knowledge, I persist today in transmitting these almost forgotten teachings.
