About

Hi, my name is Anne

I’m a Certified Coach (PCC – ICF) and a Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner

A few words about me

Bonjour! I hail from the beautiful French part of Canada. Currently residing in Perth, Western Australia, I am fluent in both French and English, bridging cultures and languages with ease.

My journey into the realms of health and wellbeing began early on, fueled by a deep-seated curiosity about the intricate connection between mind and body. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Sciences from the Université de Montréal, I delved deeper into the realms of neuro-muscular physiology through further studies.

Venturing into the professional world, I found myself immersed in high-level projects across the globe. Yet, it was the call of my true passion that eventually led me back to my roots. In 2013, I transitioned into coaching, driven by an innate desire to empower others in living their best lives.

Along this transformative path, I encountered the groundbreaking work of Dr. Gabor Maté. Inspired and intrigued, I embarked on an intense yet immensely rewarding journey to become a Compassionate Inquiry® practitioner. Guided by principles of empathy and understanding, this approach resonated deeply with my values.

Today, I am honored to continue my growth and learning as an intern with Compassionate Inquiry®, extending support to participants embarking on their own transformative journeys. Through Compassionate Inquiry® Circles and year-long training programs, I am privileged to witness the profound impact of Compassionate Inquiry® firsthand.

In every interaction and endeavor, my mission remains steadfast: to compassionately guide others towards holistic wellness and self-discovery. Join me on this journey of growth, healing, and transformation.

Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté over several decades while working with both patients and retreat participants. It was further developed into a training program by Sat Dharam Kaur ND. This approach gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of mental and physical illness and addiction. When clients perceive the therapeutic relationship as a safe container, compassion and curiosity allow them to acknowledge and examine the traumatic events that happened to them as children, recognize the beliefs they internalized, and feel the emotions they suppressed. This contributes to the healing process. Using Compassionate Inquiry®, both the individual and therapist unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal. When we can release ourselves from the hold of these stories, a new way of being emerges, leading to spontaneity, choice, expansion and freedom.  (see: https://compassionateinquiry.com/the-approach/)
