My journey began far from here, in Thailand.

After high school, I spent two years living with a Thai family, discovering their culture, spirituality and ancestral practices. I studied yoga, Vipassana meditation and alternative medicine, influenced by my host family's Chinese origins. These teachings soon resonated with my Algonquin roots in Trois-Rivières, where respect for life and nature are fundamental.

When I returned to Quebec, after some corporate experience, the call of the forest and dogs became too strong. I plunged into the world of dog sledding, exploring, learning and eventually specializing in positive reinforcement dog behavior.

But it wasn't just a question of dogs. Our whole way of life had to change.

In 2012, we made a radical choice: to leave city life behind living in the wild, in total autonomy.

Our house, nestled in the middle of the forest, reflects our philosophy:

• Self-sufficiency We've learned to live with what nature has to offer, to adapt our daily lives to the seasons.
• Minimalism A small 120 sq. ft. house, designed for the essential, far from unnecessary distractions.
• Voluntary simplicity A lifestyle based on respect for living things, where every gesture is considered for its impact.

This deep connection with nature directly influences our work with dogs. We have integrated the principles of yoga and meditation into our canine approach.We've found that calm, patience and presence are essential for a harmonious relationship.
