Louis began using psychedelics for self-discovery, personal and spiritual growth, and healing when he was 17. Diagnosed with ADHD and suffering from suicidal ideation, mild depression, and addiction, psychedelics helped Louis reconnect to his spiritual nature and heal. His journeys quickly led to the study and practice of Zen Buddhism, yoga, and eventually, Indigenous traditions. In 2016, Louis began the academic study of psychology, philosophy and comparative religion at McGill University in aim of developing a better understanding of psychedelics, healing and spirituality. Louis graduated from McGill in 2020.

Louis now teaches and facilitates yoga, mindfulness meditation, conscious connected breathwork and intentional application of psychedelics for self-discovery, personal and spiritual growth, and healing. He teaches and guides privately, at wellness retreats, at a rehabilitation centre and at the Conscious Mind Clinic. Louis is also enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Psychedelic Studies program at the University of Ottawa, with the intention of pursuing a master’s in Psychedelics and Consciousness Studies, followed by a PhD exploring his Psygaia hypothesis.

Louis is devoted to building cultural infrastructure for safe and effective use of psychedelics at Psygaia and contributed to the development of Nectara.

Bio Energy Healing

Bio energy healing is a healing modality rooted in quantum physics and the mind-body connection. Everything in the universe is energy, frequency and vibration. We are electrical beings. When our energy is flowing freely, the natural state of the body and mind is health.

However, if the flow of energy is stuck somewhere our health will suffer. Physical, emotional and mental stress can block up the body’s energy field. Bio energy healing works by identifying and releasing these blockages from the energy field, returning the body and mind back to good health and vitality.

Psychospiritual Counselling & Mental Health Coaching

Science tells us that the way that we think and speak has a direct effect on our health and wellbeing. Our language, perceptions, and beliefs affect our energy and physical reality.

Everyone has “blind spots” as part of being human, and we all need a compassionate mirror to help us see where we are getting in our own way. Psychospiritual counselling is intended to help you identify how to change your energy, reshape your thinking patterns and become more empowered in your life.

As a mental health coach, I offer support in building your skills toolbox including drawing from modalities such as dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and compassionate based inquiry.
