PHILIPPE LACAILLE |
 Art
& Design has always been an integral part of my being. But it
wasn't until I started practicing yoga in my mid-forties that my
artistic abilities begin to emerge. It feels as though I have now
unified what was in me from birth and connected it with my mind and
heart. Then, through experiencing the body, it started to manifest.
From water colour paintings to abstract line drawings, these designs
and paintings have manifested from my yoga practice and my passion
to discover my capabilities in art.
I will always feel special gratitude to my family, because if not
for them, I wouldn't be who I am today – and to my darling daughters
whose love and glow on their happy pure faces always gave me courage
to move on.... I’m also grateful for all my teachers, my guides, my
friends and most of all life itself...

 Philippe
LACAILLE, Founder and Director of the REIKI CENTRE located in
Aurora, North of Toronto, Ontario, was born and educated in Paris,
France. Philippe has spent 25 years of his life in the Health Care
sector. After completing the first chapter of his life as a Senior
Executive in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, Philippe
holds Professional level Yoga Teacher Certification from the KRIPALU
CENTRE FOR YOGA & HEALTH in Lennox, Massachusetts. He also trained
as a Reiki Master (Sensei) - traditional Japanese Usui Shiki Ryoho
lineage – dedicating all of his time and energy to be of service to
those in need.
Currently, Philippe teaches Yoga, Meditation and Reiki, he shares
his time between the Reiki Centre and other private settings in the
Toronto area. In his clinical practice, Philippe uses Yoga,
Meditation and Reiki to restore Quality of Life (QOL) and provide
pain relief to a wide range of people - including those with cancer,
MS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and other maladies where pain
undermines QOL. He also teaches Reiki to a growing number of Reiki
therapists of all ages and walks of life.
In 2005, Philippe initiated an outreach initiative in the poorest
area of Toronto, where he and some of his Reiki trainees donate
their time to one of the largest drop-in centre for homeless people.
“Bringing Reiki to the center’s members is an attempt to increase
their QOL and alleviate their pain, as well as address the mental
health concerns currently affecting this type population”, says
Lacaille. In 2006, Philippe initiated another outreach program at
the largest Ontario shelter for natives where he shares Reiki
treatments with staff and members. Overall, Philippe donates half of
his working week to give back to those in needs.
Philippe’s vision is to bring Yoga, Meditation and Energy Medicine
such as Reiki to the traditional medical system, as an adjunct to
current therapeutic options available to the medical profession. He
is a member of the Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association, the
International Yoga Alliance and the Reiki Alliance. He lives in
Aurora, north of Toronto, enjoys spending time outdoors, loves
nature and rides his motorcycle when he is not on his yoga mat.
