Mental and physical health are two crucial elements of our well-being and I have had the privilege of helping people in this area, first in Family Practice and then in Sports Medicine.
I eventually decided it was time to follow my own advice by 'doing' less and 'being' more. This lead to unexpected discoveries, the birth of two books and my involvement with physician wellness. Originally from France, I now live in Winnipeg, Canada. I love the outdoor, travelling, hiking, and learning. I try to live with gratitude and, as David Steindt-Rast said, to live today as if it was the first and last day of my life.

The Ladders of Death
|
Historical Thriller
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world." These words of Gandhi have incredible power if we follow them, and so it is for the two heroes of The Ladders of Death. Set during World War II, the story follows a Canadian woman, Jenny Smith, and a French doctor, Paul Leblanc, as they leave their everyday lives behind to take a stand against the Nazis. Richly descriptive and intriguingly complex, this story sheds a light on a dark time in world history and engages the reader to question his own life. In the end, we are all responsible for our actions and inactions.
