My name is Élodie.
(Except there's no accent on my birth certificate.)
There are numerous labels to categorize me.
For this website and public representation, I particularly favor the terms guide or facilitator.
On my Instagram bio, I've written "Not your usual sex guru." On another, Shamanatrix.
If I were to describe myself in a few words: I am a passionate, inspired, sensitive, sensual, assertive, creative, connected individual. I am capable of digging deep in your darkest places, and love them unconditionally.
And a few facts about me: I was born in Provence and spent most of my life in France before finding my home in Montreal in 2013. I've traveled through books, in Europe, the United States, Central America, in both ordinary and non-ordinary reality. I fluently speak three languages: French-from-France, Quebec French, and English, as well as a bit of rusty German. I consider myself female non-binary and use She/They pronums. I've been to Burning Man twice. I am a survivor of abusive relationship and sexual assault. I have a master's degree in marketing, and I worked in that domain until 2015. I have healed from severe anxiety disorder, as well as from migraines and chronic pain. I experienced a spiritual awakening in 2017, and it changed my perspective of life. I frequently change my hair color. I adore being in nature. I consider lovemaking as a spiritual practice.
... I invite you to listen to some of the interviews below to learn more about me.
I believe we can integrate more consciousness into our lives while staying connected to the material world and everyday reality.
In my profession as well as in my life, I am inspired by recent research in somatics and neuroscience, the teachings of Nature, and my spiritual practices (yoga, mindfulness meditation, non-dualistic Tantra, shamanism, Temple Arts, psychedelics...). For nearly 10 years, I have been accompanying individuals, couples, and groups to develop more fulfillment, self-love, and freedom of expression.
It's as much a personal journey as a professional one. My work is my passion, and my passion has become my work.
Therefore, I invest heavily in training, reading, curiosity, and projects. I have accumulated dozens of trainings and thousands of hours in various fields related to personal and spiritual development. Every year, I go on trainings and retreats to continue my growth.
My role is to facilitate your process and guide you to experience, feel, and create a dialogue with yourself through the body and consciousness, to find your own answers. Together, we bring light to possible paths, but ultimately, the decision to take them is yours.
My projects
(what I care for)
i am also an entreprenor, sex-positive community leader and infinitely inspired.
In 2018, I founded Ecstatic Temple, a community for exploring conscious intimacy. Since September 2023, Temple Extatique has been a non-profit organization.
A significant portion of my time is devoted to this community, creating innovative content, and facilitating group workshops and rituals.
