WHERE WE COME FROM, WHAT GUIDES US
Les Vagues
A community born from the desire to offer a warm place
Les Vagues
A therapeutic community born from the desire to offer a warm place where everyone can come and meet their own well-being.
Learning to surf the wave rather than resist it.
The name
Les Vagues (“the waves”) evokes the inner movement of emotions and cycles: nothing is fixed, everything evolves. It is also a family memory: as a little boy, the founder’s son pronounced “Amélie” as “Les Vagues.”
The therapists hold the space with presence and respect, supporting processes without directing them.
Local roots
The Les Vagues community is also a place to live. We are part of the fabric of the neighbourhood, where encounters and closeness nourish human connection.
Rosemont, Molson Park, Beaubien Street and its cinema.

Responsibility
Each person is the author of their own well-being.
Equality

A principle of receptivity, connection and creativity, nourished by ancestral wisdom.
“We don’t ask the wave to arrive any faster. We learn to settle into it, again and again, until it carries us.”
