Pierre Etienne
“I am greatly influenced by the many pioneers of embodiment. My ‘Embody to Evolve’ approach and services are my way of moving this school of thought forward, developing it, and showing people just how many ways there are to heal and thrive. Most of all, embodiment is about connectedness, both to ourselves and to each other.”
