Addictions
It was with joy this year that the speakers, participants and partners attended the event on November 17.
In front of a packed house, our speakers shared their knowledge on a subject that we like to forget: addictions.
The speakers present shared their knowledge without borders, allowing us all to be captivated by their performances. A day where the human, in all its complexity, was highlighted in an empathetic and healthy way.
All, without exception, left happy and reassured because their practice had been improved by the teaching of their peers.
To all those who were present, we wish you good health and good luck, we have this great privilege which is to work in a field where health becomes a priority, naturally. We hope that all this knowledge can benefit users of natural and complementary therapeutic care, in all simplicity.
Thank you all for your involvement!

Cellular addiction
In 1996, after obtaining a Bachelor's degree in physical education, Lucie completed her training in sports massage therapy and followed Olympic teams for years.
Her curiosity about cellular performance led her to a Bachelor's degree in clinical nutrition. Always eager for more knowledge, she completed a Doctorate in Naturopathy with the goal of doing a clinical specialization in Functional Medicine, for which she was the first certified in Canada. Driven by her passion, Lucie Blouin founded the first functional health center in Quebec in 2003. In 2007, the center was recognized as a "Clinic of Excellence" by the TLC Center of Excellence organization in Seattle.
In 2010, 2012 and 2014, a private group hired Lucie to follow the Winter Olympic team to ensure the biochemical performance of the athletes.
Her conferences and continuing education around the world earned her the right to receive an honorary award for her expertise and dedication in the field of naturopathy in Quebec in 2010.
In 2012, administrators of Tibetan monasteries in India called on Lucie for her health services. The experience would last for years.
In 2014, she created her Kin-integrated school, a registered trademark, of which more than 200 students are certified to date.

Breaking Up With Harmful Beauty Products for Healthy Skin
After completing her studies in health, Nathalie Forget began her career in the field of aesthetic dermatology. However, the woman who runs a network of 11 medical-aesthetic clinics still suffers from acne at the age of 33. She therefore tries a multitude of products and treatments that, in addition to being useless, cause burns and the appearance of spots and scars on her face. In the course of her work, she also observes many side effects in clients who resort to more or less invasive aesthetic procedures. This is when she begins her quest to find a healthy, effective, side-effect-free and long-lasting solution to common skin problems.
After seven years of research, Biocompatible® Care, a living care based on the science of skin flora, finally sees the light of day. Patented and approved by Health Canada, this care that acts on 15 skin problems is a real revolution. The founder of the Davincia range then became a pioneer in the use of freshly released probiotics on the skin. Her brand was also nominated for best Canadian brand at the Les nouvelles esthétiques 2023 conference.
After opening her own laboratory in 2015 NPN to control the quality of the Davincia® product range and ensure their distribution throughout Canada, the entrepreneur and speaker began writing, writing articles for specialized aesthetics magazines and training.
Her mission? To inform the public about dermonaturopathy and raise awareness of the ecological footprint of cosmetic products for the skin and scalp. To naturally optimize the chances of success in giving up addictions
