Marie-Ève’s Soul Initiation Story

I lived for over a decade with a devastating chronic illness that continually brought me past the edge of everything I thought I knew.

I was eventually diagnosed with neurological Lyme disease, multiple co-infections, mold poisoning and other conditions.

I became incapacitated, housebound, bedridden for years and lived through the death of my former self—the dancer, yogini, and social butterfly that I was being in the world.

I lived for a seeming eternity empty, listening, attuning to essence, and practicing radical surrender as I lived through my own unraveling.

It was an excruciating time full of unknowns and the continual shedding of all non-essentials.

In the darkness, a new vision was born inside me. I connected with a deeper strength, a truer voice, and a connection to my essence. Through grace, I have been able to heal, and in my emergence from illness have made the leap into a new way of being in the world.

I have been initiated into an ensouled and purposeful life.

I now have the great joy and honour of sharing the wisdom and gifts of my healing journey with individuals from all walks of life and supporting those who find themselves on the path of healing, transformation, and self actualization.

Resting in Presence: Reflections from the Heart of Healing is my first book, of a series, about my soul initiation. It was published and released in December 2021.
