Coffee first, always a book in my hands. I walk to my favourite spot, chat with the barista who knows my order by heart. Yes, I'm that person who connects with strangers everywhere she goes. After that comes a slow walk by the water, no plan, no destination. I don't rush mornings.

Italian when I want to feel wrapped in comfort. Sushi when I want to feel like myself. I have a weakness for a good cheese plate and restaurants where the menu changes with the season. I don't drink alcohol, but I'm always at the table, a mocktail, somewhere with a great view, and I'm perfectly happy.

I believe in scent the way some people believe in music — as something that changes the feeling of a room without you noticing why. I wear Another 13 by Le Labo most of the time. Sometimes Heure d'Absence. There's always a candle lit somewhere in the apartment.

The seawall at golden hour is not a cliché when you actually live here. I hike when I need to clear my head, do yoga when I need to come back to myself. Being outside in Vancouver never gets old — the mountains are right there, always, and I still notice them.

I dress for the feeling, not the occasion. Some days that is a cute dress. Other days it is Lululemon and a coffee and the whole city feels like mine. French side of me shaped my sense of fashion. There is always something intentional in what I choose, even when it looks effortless. And the lingerie I choose very deliberately.

I am a physiotherapist. Touch has always been a natural language for me. But what I find most intimate has nothing to do with the physical. It's being fully present with someone. Really listening. Noticing the small things they might not think matter. I grew up in Québec, where emotions are lived openly, expressive, warm, a little intense in the most beautiful way. With me, it's not just time spent… it's something you feel, something you carry with you after.
