Hi, Im Geneviève, or Gen (easier for english people). I used to define myself talking about my daughter, my job, my health, things that were defining me before, mostly my health. Let’s say I was struggling with inflammation issues for almost past twenty years, I’ve been diagnosed with Lupus and Rheumatoid Polyarthritis in early age, as something chronic and degenerative, so it was normal for me to integrate disease and pain as a big part of who I was. The things is that even at my first diagnostic I never felt pain. It was a kind of asyptomatic disease. It never felt right to me since the beginning but I was young, I was unaware or unawake and mostly been lead by my mother’s beliefs in medical system… let’s say from 2004 (first diagnostic) to 2017 where I experienced my first real episode of tremendous pain.
So here I was in 2017, back from a humanitarian travel in Haiti. My entire body in pain, feeling powerless and miserable. I like to think about that moment as my wake-up call and the beginning of my true healing journey.
I did stick my neck out to ask for help on my network. Suddenly I hear about leaky gut for the first time, about eliminatory diet, anti inflammatory diet and I found interesting people like Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton and also Vishen and all the great people he was bringing in… and many others that were talking about healing where nobody from my surrounding was believing. This was the beginning of a long quest… I finally found people who were thinking like me. Even tough I wasn’t able to speak directly to them, I felt I found a community of mind alike people. And I totally immerged myself in it and I slowly take my distance with my surrounding people who were trying to convince me in that old thinking and traditional medicine, that wanted me on medication for the rest of my life.

I wouldn’t say that everything was good since then! Holy… I had many other episods of pain, huge ones… like even laying down in the bed, feeling somebody was percing my skin and my joint with red fire blades… feeling my whole body burning from inside at every breath. But I am also grateful as I enjoyed the journey for everything I learned… They say that we are growing and being a better person everyday.. this is so true.
That morning of May 2017 after 10 nights without sleeping, trying to make my way throught the school morning routine with my daughter of 6 years old… I decided that no matter what I will believe that healing is real and I can reach this state of pain free and that I will do what is needed to heal and that I won’t no longer let others tell me what to believe.
I’ve been trying so many approaches, osteopathy, naturopathy, acupuncture, diet…every time I got a breakthrough, it was followed by a new episod of pain. Each time I was in dark, doubting that maybe I was wrong, that it wasn’t for me… that even others did it, I would never be able to heal myself. That was the cycle for more than 4 years.
Then… in the end of 2020, I was medication free for almost a year and half, when I began pain again, but different one. I develop a different inflammation that get complication in the beginning of 2021. It took almost 6 moths to me to decide to get back to med because pain was too hard to handle and lead me exhausted, depleted and in a very depression mood (fuelled by thinking I failed and all this was wrong). From there it was impossible to me to even still believe in healing. I had to stop working for a second disability leave and I was at the very deep end of the barrel… Despite all the knowledge all the attemps, I felt I failed terribly...

There, in July 2021, I agree for 6 cortison infiltrations and also to a medical treatment plan (which I felt I was against). And at that same time, I discovered Holobody program and without hesitation I jumped in. I thought I very like the work of Vishen already and that maybe, the answer to my healing was involving mindvalley and this new certification around holistic approach that will surely teach me something and also open my perspective to a new and diffrent approach. I know that I also jumped into Holobody as a tool for me to develop my new carrer or calling let's say, to help others. At that time, I had in mind to start to help people who struggling with inflammation and don'T know how to develop and mostly keep good habits for their body and I was looking for a method that can bring people to change their habits into better ones and keep maintaining it so that they can live a better life (thinking this for myself first!).
That was a game changer. For so long, I study inflammation nutrition, exercises program, I was taking care of not eating gluten, sugar and dairy and mostly get used to it. But, something was missing. I knew it without being able to point it out and I was cheating and not following the rules whatever I knew it will cause me pain and this was leading me totally crazy of guilt, blame and feeling like failure.
Holobody made me realize that you can’t fix your body. There is nothing to fix... It’s all about considering the body as a partner, as a powerful healer that doesn’t need anything or anybody to fix himself. I was trying to understand everything and to make everything right but I was doing all this with my mind only. Like a team leader who act all by himself not considering his team partners.
I needed a mind, heart and body connection. That is what Holobody, coaches, members and knowledge brought to me.
Since last July, I adopted a treatment plan suggested by my rheumatologist… but for the long term that they proposed, I use the body talk to question my body. Should I be on long term medication? He answered that we do not need it. And for the first time, I went out speaking with rheumatologist team with a new powerful confidence. I knew what was good for me and I was no longer hesitating, being in fear that they push me to something I don’t want. My body was supporting me and the whole let’s say “spirit or essence” that I am was feeling it.
The body talk surely helped a lot in that process, but all the meditation and the visualization bring me to an amazing place a peace and quiet harmony with everything. I now can go into Alpha to question myself, to ask about choice, or action I should take and receiving these answers from the Source (or God or higher power) is very meaningful to me.

So, since then, I finished the program… and I have still things to put in place for myself, as the exercise routine in show up session and organize better my meal plan, but so far I feel great, I am pain free and I can say now that I know why and I know I am supported by the power of my body and my mind. And if, for a reason, I feel pain somewhere, I stopped and meditate about it and question my body to understand the reason and to see how I can help to heal.
My biggest take away of this amazing program is the connection with beautiful, caring and lovely peoples which who I create bond over spirituality, well being, mindfulness and growth. I also develop a new way to meditate to be in touch with my body through the body talk experience. This is very powerful and very easy for everyone who just begin simply by practicing it everyday. Finally I would say all the knowledge about nutrition. I was aware of gluten, dairy and sugar but I did not know how to balance carb, fat and calories… so I was eliminating a lot but didn’t have clue if I was going for every nutrients I need and in what quantity. So I was avoiding bad food for my condition but not getting the right amount of good one… mostly protein.
So here I am, almost at the end of this year of great changes. I could say I am very proud of my journey. There is no place anymore for doubt or fears of pain. Because my biggest positive change from this program is the biggest paradigm shift ever.
I never been sick… there was no disease…
I realized now that doctors and my family were believing so deep into this that I began to believe it too, a long time ago and I was carrying the symptoms and the system of beliefs that was allowing this pain to grow and develop in me. Until I realized that if the mind could believe hard enough that I am sick to make my body feels it for real, would it be possible that my mind could also believe hard enough into healing so that my body can truly heal and be free of symptoms. That was literally what Joe Dispenza was talking about back in time when I discovered him and his work. But now I can also preach that because I experienced it and I now know how to replicate it from the power of Silva method and this is the biggest game changer.
So I am now able to coach people to show them the right direction to align their journey of healing and to finally see the day when they can be pain free and live an extraordinary life like I just began to experience to.
