Today we’d like to introduce you to Claudine Langlois.
Hi Claudine, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started my career as an occupational therapist (I have a master’s in OT), helping people rebuild their lives after injury and trauma. I loved the work, but I kept seeing the same thing: people healed faster when they felt safe in their body and part of a community that believed in them. That idea stuck with me.
I had zero business training. What I had was passion and a lot of courage. So I started building companies around the things I loved most, one at a time, and I learned to automate them so I could buy back my time instead of trading all of it for money.
That path became REVIBE, a wellness ecosystem with retreats, somatic programs, certifications and a creator community. Today REVIBE has a community of 55,000+ people, we’ve hosted 80+ retreats around the world, and I’ve helped more than 2,500 people find the courage to go live their dreams. Along the way I hosted a TV show on TVA, co-founded Yoniva (an intimate care brand), and became president of Festival Anatha, a wellness and music festival near Montreal.
Now I live off-grid in Malibu, surrounded by animals (and the occasional rattlesnake!), DJ events on the side, and keep building brands that turn into movements people are proud to belong to. My story is really simple: I was brave enough to live my dream, and now my mission is helping others do the same.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Not at all! People see the retreats and the Malibu sunsets, but there were a LOT of hard moments behind that.
The biggest one was that I had no business background. I learned everything the hard way: pricing, contracts, hiring, cash flow, taxes in two countries. I made expensive mistakes, trusted the wrong people sometimes, and had to clean up messes I didn’t see coming.
For years I also did everything myself. I was the coach, the marketer, the event planner, the customer service and the accountant. I burned out more than once, which is kind of ironic when you run a wellness company! That’s what pushed me to build systems and a team, and to learn to let go.
There were money stress periods too. Some projects didn’t work, some launches flopped, and there were months where I wondered if I should just go back to a “safe” job.
What got me through was my community and my body. My somatic practice taught me to regulate my nervous system instead of panicking, and every time I wanted to quit, someone would message me to say a retreat had changed their life. That reminded me why I started.
Every challenge became part of what I teach today. I don’t share a polished success story, I share the real one.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about REVIBE?
REVIBE is a wellness ecosystem that helps people reconnect with their body, regulate their nervous system and find the courage to live the life they actually want. We do this through transformational retreats around the world, somatic programs, professional certifications, and a creator community.
What we’re known for is our retreats. We’ve hosted 80+ of them on almost every continent, and they’re not your typical yoga vacation. We mix somatic work, breathwork, movement, adventure, music and real human connection. People come for a trip and leave with a new relationship with themselves (and usually a group of friends for life!).
What sets us apart is that we work with the body first, not just the mind. My background is in occupational therapy, so everything we teach is grounded in how the body actually heals and regulates. We make it accessible, fun and human, never “woo-woo” for the sake of it.
What I’m most proud of is the community. REVIBE is now 55,000+ people strong, and we’ve accompanied more than 2,500 people in daring to live their dreams. Seeing someone quit the job that was draining them, start their business, or simply feel safe in their body again is everything to me.
What I want your readers to know: you don’t need to have it all figured out to start. Come to a retreat, join one of our programs, or just follow along on Instagram. If you’re a coach or practitioner, our certifications can help you build a business around your passion, the same way I did.

We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
I’m definitely a risk-taker, but probably not the way people imagine. I don’t jump blindly. I feel it in my body first. If something makes me scared AND excited at the same time, that’s usually my sign to go for it. If it only feels heavy, I listen to that too.
The biggest risk I took was leaving my career as an occupational therapist. I had a master’s degree, a stable job, a clear path, and I walked away from it to build a business with zero business training. A lot of people thought I was crazy. Honestly, some days I thought so too!
Then there were the other big leaps: organizing my first retreat abroad without knowing if anyone would sign up, launching a festival, co-founding a product brand in a totally new industry, and moving my life to Malibu to live off-grid on raw land, with rattlesnakes and mountain lions as neighbors. None of it came with a guarantee.
My view is that NOT taking the risk is often the bigger risk. Staying in a life that doesn’t fit you has a cost too, it’s just slower and quieter. I’d rather try, fail, learn and adjust than wonder “what if” for the rest of my life.
That said, I’ve learned to take smarter risks. I start small, test, and build systems so one failure doesn’t break everything. And I always ask myself: if this doesn’t work, will I still be okay? Most of the time the answer is yes, and that gives me the courage to jump.
