Hi, I’m Vicky!
A born and raised p’tite Québécoise.
I grew up with a strong affection for fresh foods and an innate curiosity for all things “live your best life”. I’ve always wanted to figure out HOW we, as a species, could become lighter, more connected to the world and ultimately :: truly and simply well & happy. I’m infinitely proud to have taken these passions and turned them into services that help people tap into more healthy, happy “Freedom&Ease” each day.
I’ve always found absolutely intriguing the fact that some of us prosper and live “effortlessly” ailment free while others, despite their very best intentions and actions, end up feeling heavy and constrained.
This fascination is what led me to become a naturopath.
The CMDQ–Collège des Médecines Douces du Québec provided me with great basic knowledge of the inspiring, naturopathic art of promoting vitality. Further studies with ÉESNQ–École d’Enseignement Supérieur de Naturopathie du Québec and IESN–Institut d’Enseignement en Science Naturopathique built GREATLY on that foundation with rigourous science based training and in depth education on naturopathic modalities.
Every chapter, every case study, every biochemistry cycle riddle brought me closer to the naturopath I truly wanted to embody; a biochemistry enthusiast with the heart of “closet hippy”.
Having clarified my own way to body sovereignty; I’m now confident I can assist others in doing the same.
Flying high
My desire for absolute freedom, newness and travel took me around the globe for a few years in my early 20s and motivated me to become a flight attendant; which I still am! I find this job provides me with a sense of balance :: it allows me to connect with people on a veeerrry different level and obviously, nurtures my little bohemian soul.
I’ve never felt comfortable in a constant 9 to 5 routine so, I’ve set my little ducks in a row to create a life that reflects my desires :: a sense of true purpose through my naturopathic practice and the satisfaction only absolute freedom can bring through my entrepreneurship and travel based career.
I gratefully choose to be one more voice for gentle, step-by-step positive change, while also being able to carve out some time for the things I truly enjoy :: a night of fiery pasta arrabiatta under the Venetian starry sky, a yin yoga sesh on a sunny deck upon return to home base, sweaty crazy-fun Zumba sessions and latin dancing classes, a book read in the morning light about human biology, nutrition, the countless expressions wealth, health, happiness… and LOTS of time in the kitchen creating delicious and nutritious dishes for the ones I love.
Food is the gateway
Food and nutrition are both passions and healing tools for me. When planning trips, a good chunk of time is ALWAYS set aside for scouting exciting vegan (raw and cooked!) restaurants and culinary “holes in the walls” to try. This obsession with delicious AND health promoting fare is actually what got my tush in LLCAI–Living Light Culinary Arts Institute, California. Not only did I get to be trained as a raw food chef and instructor, I also got to unlock, expand and learn to trust a beautiful part of my creativity. Recipe development is now an important part of my life and sharing those recipes, the most enjoyable of all “callings”.
I believe Humility & Curiosity are the 2 things that have the power to not only save our health, but also this mesmerizing world we live in.
- I believe in taking a stand for all that is wholesome and at peace with the natural world.
- I believe Mother Nature ALWAYS knows best.
- I feel in my core that humans were born to be kind.
- I believe in small changes with big impacts.
- I believe the way to health is simple; I also know that does NOT mean it’s always easy.
- I believe in a life that is more PRO-active than RE-active.
- I believe in Peace :: in the heart and on the plate.
- I believe in ongoing education and consider the “student for life” title a beautifully humbling and motivating label.
- I believe in simplicity. In a simplified health journey. In the simplest things. That bring simple joy.
I’m here for YOU.
My purpose here is to make the world a better place by focusing on health seekers like YOU and providing small, simplified, actionable steps to a more intentionnal life that inevitably, holds the power to bettering our own lives and the world we live in.

Let’s agree that I’m a gloriously ordinary human being and “perfectly imperfect humanity” is what you’ll find here!
I don’t pretend to know it all and never will. I actually think the more you know, the more you question yourself… and everything!? We should ALL be a little doubtful of people who don’t question themselves and their methods on the daily. I am well aware of my limitations and have no issues admitting them and guiding a client towards a professional I feel is more qualified to support them on their journey.
My commitment :: to bring you honest, dug deep wellness information and actionnable support with a hefty dose of passion and empathy. I want to share the very best of all the “healthy” I’m learning AND living.

I hope this is the first step towards a long, happy, healthily-challenging relationship together. Maybe you’d like to tell me a bit about yourself in the comments or in private? About your health journey? Your goals for this week, this month, this year!? I would love to know who visits, and also get some inspiration for pages that are truly relevant to YOU.
