As a holistic rebalancing and tuning of the human instrument, Marie-Ève enjoys sharing yoga, dance and conscious lifestyle practices as sacred playtime and as an opportunity for her clients to reconnect with their essence and to the nectar of life that nurtures and sustains “joie de vivre.”
As a Performing Artist, Marie-Ève’s work explores the mystery of the human condition and what it means to be alive. Her pieces are ceremonial in nature and aspire to reclaim and instill a sense of magic in the act of living. She has a passion for creating personal and public rituals that help to enrich people’s sense of connection to themselves and to something larger than themselves. Marie-Ève is constantly exploring the performance territory and views her work as a series of experiments. She creates beauty as a celebration of the human spirit and as an offering to the divine.

She has been able to weave this multi-faceted information into a body of art that is distinctly her own, and only possible because of this vast array of sources and an incredible personal commitment to her work." ~V.A.
