A bit about me…
HI! I’M LYSSIA
As a photographer, snowboarder, diver and avid travelor, I can say that I’m a true adventurer, deeply in love with life! I savor each moment and hold dear all the magnificent wonders that surround us.
My journey has been quite a ride, but my connection with nature has been constant since my early years. Nature is the key to my inner harmony, which is why I make it a priority to spend most of my time near water, in forests, or on mountains. It's in these moments that I reconnect with my inner self, with Mother Nature, and with the vast Universe, the Source, our Creator.
Recognizing the incredible opportunity we have to embark on this extraordinary journey and to evolve is of utmost importance to me. That's why I make it a daily practice to be grateful even on the challenging days.
A transformative journey
Born in 1978 and raised in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, my life has been an ever-unfolding journey, a blend of excitement and profound challenges. It led me to a spiritual growth, self-discovery, and an intuitive connection to the world around me.
My early years were anything but easy, a story that many can relate to. I encountered adversity, violence, and the painful separation of my parents at a young age. My path led me to another continent, Germany, where I faced a pivotal crossroads.
At just 12 years old, I made a life-altering choice: to embrace the gift of life and embark on a profound journey of transformation. I CHOSE LIFE and transformed my perspective, adopting a profound sense of personal responsibility, embracing each moment as if there were no tomorrow.
I chose to live!
It was the beginning of my quest for self-discovery and spiritual knowledge. The pages of books on life development, philosophy, psychology, and spirituality became my guiding light, illuminating the path to personal growth and self-discovery.
It became a lifelong passion, guiding my steps toward a deeper understanding of my own intuition and the world around me.
My decision led me on a diverse journey through various careers, spanning provinces and even countries. I managed to strike a balance between formal education and my insatiable thirst for knowledge.
If you iMAGINE it,
you can create it!
I dared to chase my dream that many deemed impossible; I emerged as one of the pioneering female camera operators in the world of television, crafting narratives through the lens. I loved my work and was able to work most TV network and told stories on some of the most popular and extravagant shows in Montreal.
WE ARE POWERFUL CREATORS!
However, a pivotal twist awaited…
I needed more challenges and left my thriving career to establish a sailing charter business in Costa Rica.
With relentless determination, I built the business, weathering tempestuous storms that battered both the 50 foot sailboat and my spirit.
In moments of solitude and hardship, I discovered strength and resilience, transforming challenges into stepping stones to success. This adventure ended after 5 years and brought me back to Canada.
and another
adventure
begins!
With my feline companions, we left to Vancouver, to find meaningful work and to embark on a new journey. Within just three days, I secured a position with a prominent television company. However, I found myself confined to a desk, detached from the art of storytelling through visuals that had ignited my passion. This transition triggered a period of depression and anxiety and unfortunaltely, the mountains and ocean were not enough anymore…
I embarked on a life-changing move to Saskatchewan, where I became a Video-Journalist, connecting with the community, its people and their captivating stories.
SHARING people’s stories
I met remarkable people who illuminated my path, confirming that I was exactly where I was meant to be, helping others discover their authentic selves, tell their stories and inspire others.
But the road came to an end.
Alberta brought me aboard for a new job in the same field. However, this role came with a heightened level of stress and a noticeable reduction in the time I could allocate to producing what I wanted to accomplish. It left me feeling utterly exhausted, and my body began to signal its concerns in various ways.
I feel truly blessed that my job has allowed me to meet so many amazing people in such a stunning natural setting
A snowboarding accident resulted in a profound awakening, a spiritual revelation that sometimes life's challenges are the Universe's way of steering us toward our true path. The COVID-19 pandemic and another accident followed, leaving me with hands and wrists forever altered.
Yet, my spirit remained unbroken, a testament to the power of self-discovery and love
we have the power
to mold our destiny
by choosing how
we respond to life's events.
I believe every experience has purpose, a divine lesson bestowed upon us by the Universe, our Creator, and our own souls, nurturing our growth as humans.
With my life's journey, I've arrived where destiny intended, to walk beside you on your unique path.
