ABOUT ME
Hi, I am a massage therapist teacher and a MISP (Massage in school programme)trainer www.massageinschools.com
My daughter is 21 beautiful years old and I have this passion for making this planet a nicer place for children. Since 2007, I have been teaching children how to do peer massage. This beautiful project is now in more than 40 countries.

Bonjour, je suis professeur en massothérapie et formateur pour le programme de massage en milieu scolaire MISP. www.misa-quebec.org
J'ai une magnifique fille de maintenant déjà 21 ans et je suis passionné par le fait de pouvoir contribuer à rendre cette planète un meilleur endroit pour les enfants par le fait d'enseigner la communication par le toucher.

PHILOSOPHY
If one word resume my personal philosophy, it would be BALANCE. Although I am passionate about all I do, I am far from extreme in anything. I like to help and see what I can do for someone. That is why I like so much to teach. In any case, I get to learn as well.

Si un mot pouvait résumer ma philosophie personnelle, ce mot serait ÉQUILIBRE. Bien que je suis passionné par tout ce que je fais, je ne pense pas être extrémiste en quoique ce soit. J'aime pouvoir aider et voir en quoi je peux servir le bien-être des autres. C'est pourquoi j'aime autant enseigner soit le massage ou les nombreux sports que je pratique. Dans tous les cas, j'apprends toujours autant que je donne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I get to travel a lot to train new instructors around America and Europe and... and God knows where!
Up to now, I have had nothing else but great CS experiences. Looking for some more opportunities again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As said, these experiences had me redefining the word hospitality. My hosts have been incredible..

I am also happy when I can receive CS guests.

Interests

Well, I like many things. I do a lot of sport. I am a tennis, cross country and telemark ski instructor.
I cycle and rollerblade a lot. I love to take my skate wherever I travel. But mostly, I like to learn and try anything. Long ago I was an outdoor guide.
I am also in golfing.
I am interested by whatever may bring passion to someone's life.

Love to offer massage at the spa where I also train new staff.
Assisted 12 births as a certified doula.. Some of the greatest experiences of my life.
