Hi, my name's Louis—Lou for short.I'm French Canadian with Northern European ancestry. I was raised in Hong Kong, and now live on the West Coast of Canada.I research the symbiotic relationship between humans and psychedelic-producing organisms at the University of Ottawa, investigating how these plants and fungi transmit information via biosemiotic processes, shaping cognition, perception, emotion and behavior. I see the psychedelic experience as a critical component of a complex self-regulating planetary system as well as a fundamental human right with key implications for the health of individuals, societies, and the planet.My journey began with deep curiosity towards spirituality and struggles with mental health as a teenager, leading to intentional psychedelic experiences and a transformative death-rebirth experience with LSD at the age of seventeen. These early experiences set me on a lifelong path of studying Buddhism, yoga, mysticism, and Indigenous nature-based traditions. In 2020, I triple majored Psychology, Philosophy, and Religious Studies at McGill University. After years of dedicated practice, I became certified as a yoga teacher, and later, as a breathwork instructor. I now teach mindfulness meditation and yogic philosophy at a rehabilitation centre, supporting individuals in recovery through embodied awareness and spiritual inquiry.As the founding researcher of Psygaia, a nonprofit dedicated to psychedelic and ecological medicine research, education, and support, my work bridges scientific and spiritual knowledge to explore how psychedelics can serve not just individual healing—but planetary reconnection in a time of mass disconnection. I’m currently developing the Psygaia Hypothesis while completing an MA in Psychedelics & Consciousness Studies. I'm dedicated to ensuring that psychedelic healing is not just for the privileged few, but is integrated into community-driven, culturally informed, and environmentally sustainable frameworks.In a collapsing world marked by ecological destruction, cultural numbness, digital addiction, the rise of AI companions and so much more nonsense, I offer practices of reconnection. I teach yoga, meditation, and breathwork as ways to return to the body, to presence, and to the sacredness of life. I guide intentional psychedelic journeys, lead retreats, and offer spiritual coaching for those awakening in the ruins. I remain a student of Nature, grounded in breath, devoted to wholeness.About CoachingI work with individuals seeking meaning, grounding, and clarity in what often feels like chaotic, uncertain and troubling times.
