Your Abundance Is Waiting. Let's Unlock It Together.
Pick your date and time for a 1:1 conversation with Sylvie, and walk away with your own custom roadmap to abundance.
Well hello, friend,
I’m Sylvie
Family first, always
I’m Sylvie Nicole Drapeau, a certified clinical hypnotherapist, educator and life coach. I help you return to who you were before you learned to doubt yourself.
Based in Quebec, Canada. Certified through the American Alliance of Hypnotists.
I didn’t always believe I could learn: the degrees, the journeys, the work that carries my name…
Not long ago, I would have told you that reading and writing were out of reach. Severe dyslexia kept me functionally illiterate into my twenties.
It wasn’t a lack of intelligence. It was a belief I had learned, and it followed me everywhere.
But I was curious about everything. I started out hitchhiking alone across Canada, and at 20 I made my way from Rimouski to Vancouver. Later, my husband and I spent ten years backpacking and hitchhiking around the world, trading what we knew and what we could do for food and shelter. I taught and lived abroad, including in Israel, Greece, Central America and Texas.
Then I went back to school. This is how I learned I could, and how I now help you unlearn what life taught you.
In retrospect
I probably should have known that the girl who couldn’t read until her twenties would one day earn a master’s degree and spend her life helping people understand how they became who they are…
The turning point
Then I realized the limit was never mine.
I had been treating a learned belief as if it were a fact about me. So I learned how to work with my dyslexia, went back to school and kept going until I had two bachelor’s degrees and a master’s. Where we begin does not decide where we can go. And everything changed.

A look back
My journey
None of this happened overnight. Here’s the path that led me here.
Early years
A question I couldn’t put down
When someone I loved became seriously ill, I became curious about the mind, the body and how what we believe shapes how we live.
At twenty
Alone on the open road
I was functionally illiterate with severe dyslexia, and curious about everything. After years of hitchhiking alone across Canada, I set out at 20 from Rimouski to Vancouver, on my own.
Ten years
Around the world, together
After six months living in a van at Stanley Park, I met my future husband. We backpacked and hitchhiked around the world, trading knowledge and skills for food and shelter, and taught in different countries.
Back home
Caring, rebuilding, studying
After we separated, I returned to Quebec. For six years I raised my son as a single mother, cared for my mother through leukemia, and went back to university for two bachelor’s degrees, in French Literature and Education, to overcome my illiteracy.
Eight years
A family on the road
My husband and I reunited and spent eight years traveling as a family in a van we customized ourselves, across Canada, the USA, Mexico and Central America, then three years in Texas. We educated our son on the road, and back in Quebec his assessment placed him a year ahead, in Secondary II.
Educator
Courses, curriculum and exams
I went on to a master’s in Educational Technology and worked as an educator, course designer and curriculum developer, including for Quebec’s Ministry of Education.
Certified
Clinical Hypnotherapist
I trained and certified through the American Alliance of Hypnotists, and began helping people work with the subconscious.
Today
Master Your LIFE
My programs bring it all together: hypnotherapy, coaching and daily practice to help you return to yourself.
What I believe
Three things I’ll never stop saying.
1
Your true self isn’t something you create. It’s someone you return to.
You were never truly lost. Somewhere along the way, you simply walked away from yourself, one experience at a time.
2
You weren’t born doubting yourself. You learned it.
And what was learned can be unlearned. Awareness creates choice, and choice creates the possibility of change.
3
Where you begin does not decide where you can go.
A human being is never finished. You can begin again, and I’ll walk beside you while you do.
