Our Story

Marc Dessein

As a child, Marc suffered from epilepsy, migraines and allergies — conditions that conventional medicine could manage, but never truly resolve.

Years later, when those same struggles resurfaced, he made a decision: to find his own answers.

For over ten years, he has been working with people facing chronic health issues — autoimmunity, weight, inflammation, fatigue. Using nutrition and a science-based approach, he could reduce symptoms. But something was missing. He kept noticing that to truly heal — not just manage — people needed to go further. Deeper.

That search led him to breathwork, yoga and meditation. And eventually, into the Amazon Rainforest, and into the world of plant medicines and indigenous ceremony.

He has since built close ties with indigenous communities across Brazil, accompanying their ceremonial journeys and learning from their traditions — a relationship built on respect, reciprocity, and a genuine desire to protect what they carry.

Paje is born from that path.
