Collège Canadien Méthode Danis Bois (CCMDB)
The Collège Canadien Méthode Danis Bois (CCMDB) is certified by the Collège International Méthode Danis Bois, and its mission consists in training future Method practitioners in Canada. CCMDB’s training program not only includes fasciatherapy and sensorial training, but also offers short-term training sessions to helping relationship professionals. A training program in Fascia-Esthetics is also offered to cosmetologists/beauticians.
The College structure includes, among other things, a training committee made up of four members. This committee plays an important role in educational decisions and student support. It also dispenses training sessions, aligning its teachings with the evolution of the Danis Bois Method techniques. The four members all have a Level III diploma from Collège International Méthode Danis Bois. Other than having their own private practice, they are busy promoting this novel approach in their respective regions. Committee members are Josée Lachance, CCMDB President and Director ( Sherbrooke), Maryse Gaucher (Magog), Fabien Rosenberg ( Montreal) and Sylvie Leduc ( Otterburn Park).
Certified therapists belonging to the Association québécoise Méthode Danis Bois (AQMDB) are recognized by the Corporation des intervenants en médecine alternative (CIMA), the Association des naturothérapeutes du Québec (ANQ), the Fédération des massothérapeutes du Québec (FQM) and the Association des orthothérapeutes. The FQM and Association des orthothérapeutes not only acknowledge our training, they also grant a certain number of training credits to their students for training sessions followed at the CCMDB. By adhering to the CIMA or the ANQ, therapists who are members of the AQMDB can issue receipts to their clients for insurance purposes or for inclusion in the 3% medical expense deduction a taxpayer is allowed on his/her income tax report.
The Training Committee
Fabien
Rosenberg
 |
After working numerous years as a carpenter, Fabien’s attention was diverted to another type of construction: that of the body. From structures housing the body, Fabien turned his attention to the body as a structure, the focal point of life. This attention became the starting point of a search that led Fabien to crossing paths with the Danis Bois Method. Convinced of the relevance of this bodily approach, Fabien started, in Paris, a training program that led to his becoming a practitioner of fasciatherapy in 1991. He then became class assistant at the fasciatherapy school with an aim to becoming an instructor.
Touching the human being in its structure, in what moves this structure… The reality encountered by Fabien in the body drives him to pursue the study of movement in all its aspects. But essentially, it’s the discovery of a life deep inside the body that, while allowing him to discover new facets of the human being, pushes him to share his passion. |
Maryse
Gaucher
 |
Maryse Gaucher was a teacher in specialized education until 1982. From the time she left the public education system, she started a more intensive research on balance with the body as a staring point. This quest also opened up several avenues for her. Through the years, Maryse experimented different methods: Feldenkrais, M. Alexander, M. Graham and Tai Chi.
In 1994, after a three-year training with Vlady Stévanovich, Maryse met the founder of the Danis Bois Method. It was a revelation ! In this approach, she found what she had been looking for. She then embarked on a five-year training program leading to the Level III diploma which she acquired in 1999. Now a DBM Method instructor in Quebec, Maryse pursues a professional career that corresponds to her ideals.
Her search for balance continues: she has not yet achieved perfect balance, but she is perfectly and totally herself.

Sylvie
Leduc
 |
Wishing to understand the human being deep within, convinced that this comprehension would come from a deeper knowledge of how the body works, Sylvie kept searching, until she discovered the Danis Bois Method in 1993. She was conquered by this approach based on a touch that appeals to the body’s intelligence and self-healing power. Having completed her training in DBM in 2002, Sylvie works as a therapist and instructor for the DBM school.
As a therapist and instructor, Sylvie offers and shares her fascination for an approach that is essentially liberating. While her hands listen, her attention focuses. Under her hands, the body becomes animated from the inside, life unfolds, organizes itself. And a direction emerges. This movement carries meaning, guides her. Who exactly drives this movement ? She establishes a silent communication with the person, at the very heart of the human dimension. She is touched, fascinated. Movement stops… she has reached an area of immobility… she feels tension, density. A discussion ensues deep within the body, a choice must be made. Something then looses its hold, bodily tissues relax, she feels them caving in, a sense of lightness spreads through the body… and the beauty of the human being can then be felt. The person opens his/her eyes; he/she has met himself/herself; he/she is touched by the experience. Back to the body, back to the self, back to the love of self.

Josée Lachance
 |
Motivated by a constant desire to understand, Josée at first showed interest for the world of administration, which led to a B.A. and an M.A. in Business Management. This orientation was however not enough to stop her on the road to acquiring knowledge. Everything that concerns the being and the role of the body in reaching balance attracts her: seeking life in the body, finding this particular space where the person is one (body, soul and spirit), this place where the human being finds meaning.
In 1994, in order to answer this calling, Josée began the fasciatherapy training program that led to a Level III diploma in 2001. Since the Fall of 2002, Josée is part of the DBM professional training teaching team.
Josée is currently studying for a Doctorate in Education at Université de Sherbrooke. She previously obtained a diploma in Études supérieures spécialisées en " Pédagogie perceptive du mouvement " from the Modena University in Lisbon, in September 2002. Member of the Association Québécoise Méthode Danis Bois managing committee since 1997, Josée works to enrich the practice and to develop better support tools for therapists and to offer consistent and pertinent information.
