Our history
Throughout our journey together, we have inspired each other in our approach and we have developed a very deep common vision.
All interventions and programs at the Collective Evolution Institute are based on the most recent neurobiological approaches. The polyvagal theory, in particular, colors our entire collective vision. By understanding our neurophysiological states, we can better manage our responses to stress, improve our interpersonal relationships, and foster a state of safety and social connection. For us, the connection between human beings is not just a pleasant experience, it is a biological imperative.
The Collective Evolution Institute was born from the collaboration of two women with a thirst for change, both personally and professionally, wishing to pool their energy with the aim of co-creating a new entity. We want to promote growth , community and reconnection to nature .
The collaboration between Cristyna Parent, guidance counselor and organizational psychotherapist specializing in leadership development, and Gabrielle Pitre, psychologist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma, makes it possible to pool the different horizons and approaches of modern psychology.
