Honouring life with Ceremonial cacao, yoga and women’s rites of passage

My vision

In our hyper-stimulating world, holding space for ourselves with sacredness and intention allows us to deepen our relationship with our inner world and show up to the external world with more integrity. Ceremonial Cacao, yoga and meditation are safe allies to help us nurturing connection and intuitive guidance amidst the complexity of modern life.

Experience

With thirteen years of experience teaching yoga and meditation, my approach is inspired by a deep longing for awakening our inner wisdom and embodying our essence. Motherhood and my Azorean ancestry inspire me to embrace ceremony and honour women’s rites of passage, allowing one to celebrate change and live with more alignment and grace. Since 2015, I have held artistic events and expression circles. I hold a Master’s degree in geography from UQÀM. I am a trained Ceremonial Cacao facilitator with Aynua Shamanic School of Northern Peru, the birthplace of cacao. I also completed a certification in clinical aromatherapy.

Testimonials

Cacao ceremonies with Véronique are transformative journeys of healing and spiritual growth. She masters the art of creating a sacred space where participants are welcomed, seen, heard and safe. Participants are guided to explore their inner landscapes, gain clarity, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for themselves and the world around them. I will attend Véronique’s events every chance I get!

I had the pleasure of meeting Veronique at Casa dos Açores of Ontario, a Portuguese community center in Toronto, at a roundtable discussion in which we participated. I was immediately impressed by her optimism and divergent means of thinking. Veronique is a self-giving individual and passionate for her community and this is highlighted in the many initiatives that she takes on. Veronique volunteered to hold a Yoga workshop for my class of 25 high school students. From breathing techniques, to poses, and a calm state of mind, Veronique guided my students on a step-by-step journey into yoga, which left many craving for more. Veronique is an outstanding individual and a role model not only in her local community, but in the lusophone community, working hard to build bridges between Montreal, Toronto and the Azores.

I love Veronique’s yin yoga classes! Her soothing voice transports us and the way she guides us into the poses helps to truly surrender and let go. I feel like I’m floating on a cloud every time!

J’ai suivi des séances de yoga avec Véronique et je peux dire qu’elle est toujours à l’écoute de ses participants. Elle utilise une approche extrêmement professionnelle. Ses cours m’ont procuré un bien immense tant physique que psychologique.
