Intro :)

Hello and thank you for coming over .

My name is Ondine and I am a life maximalist, a lover of nature, a learner. A curious mind, a gentle and kind soul. Sapiosexual. Human. Emotional healing in progress.

C’est magnifique came to exist as a result of a therapeutic psychedelic experience through which I accessed parts of my subconscious that surfaced and emerged into full appreciation of my life. I came to this experience as a result of more than 20 years of working to “fix myself”, to heal those parts of me that have been, involuntarily wounded in the way I experienced small or big events of my childhood. The small t traumas that shaped and every now and then continue to dictate the way I behave today.

More than 20 years of seeking and finding emotional healing and accepting that this ride is a life-long one. After being unkind with myself. After having gone through toxic relationships and filled my own cup with poisonous thoughts. After seeking “ my fix”outside myself - in people, consumerism, workaholism and many other extreme, more or less socially acceptable behaviors and addictions.

I am starting this series of pouring my soul into words as a way of thanking myself for not giving up on me. For relentlessly pursuing and trying and falling and failing and trying again to not just better myself, but find peace, calm and acceptance.

I came to appreciate that emotional healing is available to all of us. It’s accessible to all of us. I am here to encourage you to not give up on yourself and I hope that through my writing, the visitors of this website will continue to try, experiment, fall, fail and try again, until they find their own “c’est magnifique”.
