Chantale grew up in Abitibi (Quebec), a cold reclused area, a land of the colonizers with an attitude of “We can accomplish anything, if we believe in it”. She has colonizer’s blood inside of her. Nothing is impossible for Chantale, when she believes in it. Her path is colored by two themes: freedom and authenticity.
Her first mentors guided her quest towards environmental values. “A new diet for America” (John Robbins) led her down the path to becoming vegetarian, focussing on organic agriculture, then vegan, all while gradually exploring a raw food diet. For about ten years, living foods became her main playground…
After a journey at Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida, her own health was deeply affected by the experience of raw foods, as well as many other people who crossed her path. She continued her research in California where she became a certified raw food chef at Living Light Culinary Arts Institute.

However, I must admit that the greatest things in my life are my two amazing sons…
In addition to my courses and workshops, I’m always working on a new book! I have 5 in progress at this moment. As you know, I write them in French first, then they are translated in English. To be continued…
« J’adore l’art culinaire et j’adore cultiver ces délicieux ingrédients qui servent à créer mes recettes… « Société Le Village » (jardinage urbain à Vancouver) fut un des projets qui m’ont tenu à coeur. »
