Dominique Larocque, grew up in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, and spent her summers at the family cottage on the Mattawa River. She has carved her counseling practice with a B.A. in Social Sciences bolstered with Gestalt therapy training, a Master of Human Kinetics, and complementary training in energetic healing, eco-philosophy, and end-of-life doula training. Her practice has been strongly influenced by surviving the death of a parent, growing up in a medical family, and her own life experiences as a two-time national team athlete, graphic artist, and restaurateur. Her commitment to excellence is reflected in her company, Creative Wheel Consulting, and her mountain bike school, LaRoccaXC. She is convinced of the healing power which environmental aesthetics holds in our society. Dominique continues celebrating her Algonquin heritage and her deep love of nature by designing trails and sacred land-art / outdoor spaces, inviting individuals in reclaiming their inner space for personal health. She now resides in Rupert, Quebec, where she is fully committed to celebrating her late partner, Canadian painter John Eaton (www.johneaton.ca), ensuring that his legacy and creations live on in the hearts of many art lovers and nature enthusiasts for many years to come.
