Testimonials

"My thanks will go first to my tutor: she encouraged me and gave me precious guidance throughout my studies. I will also thank the founders of the Collège des Médecines Douces du Québec, for the seriousness of the teaching received and the contents dealing with respect  and the notion of life, bringing me lots of joy."

"I am happy to have completed my training in Naturopathy. I will continue with a doctorate in a year. I reiterate my thanks for the quality of the education received, the seriousness of your establishment and the competence of your team. Long live the College!"
Marie-Pierre Bajazet-Jacob

"The content of the workshop was really meaningful, personally as well as professionally. In fact, the enneagram is a truly useful and rich tool for therapists dealing with clients going through health troubles, but also for everyday contacts. Francine Dallaire, with her vast experience and expertise, shared generously with us all that  information, exhibiting excellent listening capacities and profound respect."
