I’m a French Canadian living on the Westside of Los Angeles. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me cooking something from scratch, practicing Tai Chi or Qi Gong, studying astrology, or exploring LA. I’m also a baseball fan with an ongoing mission to visit as many MLB ballparks as possible, and I love discovering the independent artists, makers, and hidden gems that give a city its personality.

- I’ve been teaching Tai Chi and Qi Gong for 11 years.
- I’m a practicing astrologer and author of a book bridging astrology and Qi Gong.

Favorite craft
I loved trying fused glass! Next on my list is water marbling a silk scarf – I’m hoping to try it this year.
3 top tips to recharge and unwind
- Get outside for a walk. Preferably somewhere with trees, water, or a great view.
- Cook a good meal. Put on some music and enjoy the ritual of making it!
- Slow everything down. I like to do this with Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or a little quiet time away from screens.
3 top tips for embracing creativity
- Get curious and follow the rabbit hole. Some of my best ideas come from making unexpected connections.
- Change your environment. Take a walk, explore somewhere new, or step away from the problem entirely.
- Don’t force the idea. Give it some quiet space and let it find you.
