Myriam Desmarquis
“Franco-ontarienne” by heart, I have been raising my family and working in Eastern Ontario since 2009. My personal practice of yoga, mindfulness and my love of nature have led me to become a forest bathing guide. I believe that movement, community and nature are essential ingredients of well-being.
Pleine Nature offers unique experiences in Eastern Ontario for the french speaking community. It is also a great way to discover great nature trails.
