The plus
Marie-Josée Arel is a best-selling author with 8 spirituality books and over 15,000 books sold in the Francophone world. Two of her collections have also been translated into Polish.

Holding a certificate in theology as well as communication, Marie-Josée continues her research related to the psycho-spiritual development of the human being. A seasoned presenter, she has the gift of touching hearts to make spirituality accessible to everyone.
From a young age, Nancy Marcoux was immersed in a mystical Universe that led her to live numerous spiritual experiences and ancestral initiations. Holding, among other things, a Master’s degree in Social Work, a DESS in Management, and an International Coach Federation (ICF) Coach certification, for over 30 years she has combined science, psychology, spirituality, and shamanism in her coaching. Nancy has built a solid international reputation for her interventions thanks to her extraordinary ability to unveil to the conscious what the unconscious is trying to express, thus bringing about real mystical transformations.
