Chantal Cadieux Schultz

Last week, I had the pleasure of working with Keri Murphy and her team down in Carlsbad. One of the other ladies who joined us was Marie-Annick Courtier. This lady is bad A$$ to put it mildly.

She walked us through a simple exercise to help us achieve “presence”, imagine her saying that with the most delicious French accent.

I won’t give away her recipe to two minutes of “presence” but suffice it to say, I found myself RIGHT HERE. My brain didn’t take more than a millionth of a second and I arrived. And oddly, it stayed. For two minutes.

Never in my life have I been able to be in a meditative state, my mind fully quiet until that moment. And at that still time in my mind, I was brought back to my younger days, before many of the stories the world tells us to believe about our abilities.

I felt the chill of the adrenaline, which was surprisingly calming. I felt at ease of my breath and could feel the softness of a trust, which supported my footing for hundreds of thousands of meters over my lifetime.

I felt capable yet slightly afraid, but it was as a fear that was saying, “we’ve got this”. I could hear the starter’s voice: On your marks. I could feel the granules of the track beneath my fingertips; my shoes braced against the blocks and my body suspended in that electric stillness before the gun.

In that moment, the whole world narrowed to one lane. There was no past to replay, no future to manage and no story about what I could or could not do. There was only breath, body and the absolute knowing that when the sound came, I would move. And then I understood. Marie-Annick had not simply shown me how to quiet my mind.

She had shown me this: underneath all the noise, I was still there, the girl who had not yet learned to negotiate down her own capability, who could feel fear without mistaking it for a warning. For those two minutes, I wasn’t remembering her. I was her... and I had presence.

Rhina Paredes, Ca.

Marie-Annick, you carried me through my crushing pain of losing my son, my devastation, my horrific tragedy. You were so readily available to talk to me on the phone, when I needed to, as I was having panic attacks. You are truly an inspiration. You have to a point saved my life and when I am ninety years old, I will still be talking about you and all you taught me.

I know you can teach me so much more. Your wisdom is present in your every words and sentences in your writings. All I can say is that I am very lucky that our paths crossed. I know it was not coincidence but God connecting us for an amazing purpose which was to save my life. Thank you, Marie.

Marie-Annick’s coaching was extremely helpful in understanding how my body works. I decided to do some jump rope or going for lap swimming, just because I felt I needed it. She helped me reconnect myself to my body and be proud of myself.

Dear Marie-Annick, do you remember how your giant smile caught my eyes at the airport? Do you remember how strangely we ended up sitting next to each other in the airplane? I certainly do, as you have changed my life that day. I can never thank you enough for being there for me in my darkest moments. Today, I have realized that our miraculous encounter was the starting point of my healing. I want you to know I am doing great and my marriage is strong again. One last thing, contrary to what you think, you are an angel who can fly!

Nesta consulted Marie-Annick from 2004 till end of 2019. The breath of her knowledge and expertise has nothing short of incredible. Based on her “Healthy Chef” Program, she created the “Personal Fitness Chef” educational program for us that was marketed to fitness and wellness professionals. That program was well received by a wide array of students around the world. Students felt an immediate connection with her. Her passion for wellness, well-being, and people, in general, allowed our students to thrive and use their newfound knowledge in a way that served them best. We highly recommend Marie-Annick for any of her consulting and coaching services.
