Marie-Josée Arel is a successful author with 8 books on spirituality and over 15,000 books sold in the French-speaking world. Two of her collections are also translated into Polish. Her journey led her to live in a religious community in her twenties, where she studied the path of great mystics. Holding certificates in theology and communication, Marie-Josée continues her research related to the psycho-spiritual development of human beings. As an experienced presenter, she has the gift of touching hearts to make spirituality accessible to all.
Nancy Marcoux was immersed from a young age in a mystical universe that led her to live many spiritual experiences and ancestral initiations. Holding, among other degrees, a master’s degree in social work, a graduate diploma in management, and an International Coach Federation (ICF) certification, for over 30 years, she combines science, psychology, spirituality, and shamanism in her guidance. Nancy has built a strong international reputation in her interventions, thanks to her extraordinary ability to unveil what the unconscious is trying to express to the conscious mind, thus provoking real mystical transformations.
