SHARING THE BEAUTY AND BENEFITS OF NATURE
Marie-Noëlle, Simon and their two children have chosen nature as their path to fulfilment. It all started with the dream to build their own personalized eco-friendly home with a garden and mountain view. The house would be 100% insulated using the GREB straw bale building technique. The site, stretching over just a little more than 200,000 square feet, made them want to share the magic of nature with others who would be able to sleep beneath the stars and wake among the mountains.
Simon has a passion for people and has been studying personal development for more than 15 years. In addition to holding degrees in social work, philosophy and change leadership, he is a PCC-certified coach and member of the International Coach Federation (ICF). He is additionally a cofounder of and training coach for the ACT in Académie de Coaching Transformationnel, as well as a massage therapist and a naturopath on the roll of the Fédération des Médecines Alternatives (FMA). Simon is known for his sense of humour, presence and listening ear, and is deeply committed to working with each individual from a transformational perspective in order to connect with their true nature.
Marie-Noëlle is captivated by human beings’ communion with nature. An agronomist by training, today she practices permaculture and herbalism in the mountainous gardens of the Centre de l’Hêtre. She serves as a guide at the Centre in addition to offering yurt and paddle board yoga sessions. Her travels to India also led her to learn Tibetan massage techniques that she will be pleased to introduce you to. A simple, generous and joyful spirit, she is much appreciated for the quality of her presence and her keen attentiveness to each person she meets. Marie-Noëlle sees the beauty in everyone. The tools she offers are simple, handy and easy to use in everyday life, for lasting well-being.
