Welcome to a sanctuary of light and holistic healing. I am Marie-Dominique Rail, a creator devoted to light, healing, and the sacred path of transformation. My life has woven resilience, faith, art, and devotion into a continuous journey of awakening — where every challenge becomes an invitation to deeper peace, love, and presence. As a chef, musician, author, and Reiki Master, I craft experiences that nourish the body, uplift the heart, and awaken the soul through conscious cuisine, healing music, spiritual writing, and intuitive guidance.

Culinary Roots: Conscious Nutrition & Holistic Nourishment

A graduate of the Institut de Tourisme et d’Hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), I spent more than twenty years refining the culinary arts in Geneva, Milan, Las Vegas, and Montréal. As the founder of MariDo Caterer and MCHEF®, my greatest joy has always been to nourish others — first through exceptional cuisine, and later through energetic and spiritual nourishment.

My passion for conscious, healthy, gluten-free living led me to create an organic, hypoallergenic herb and spice line and to publish several bilingual cookbooks, including:

• Chef Marie’s Lifestyle Food Guide - 100 French Gluten-Free & Low-Carb Recipes
• Oil-Free Salads & Wine Pairings (vegan recipes)
• Cakes & Desserts – Childhood Memories (family Recipes: 100 Easy and Exquisite Creations)

These works support readers in choosing healthier habits while rediscovering nature, gratitude, and the sacred dimension of nourishment.

Spiritual Awakening, Energy Healing & Transformative Writing

During the profound passage of my bone marrow transplant, my creative and spiritual paths merged. From this initiation were born my first spiritual books — companions for healing, grief, and emotional transformation:

• Semper Fidelis: Always Faithful — Healing by Planting Love Within
• Semper Fidelis: Fidèle à soi-même (French edition)
• Beyond the Veil: Living the Presence of the Invisible and the Continuity of Love

Inspired by the passing of my godmother Constance and my brother Jeff, these books explore the invisible world, the continuity of love, and spiritual presence.

My upcoming work, The Journey to Wholeness – 52 Weeks of Discovering Within, and its French edition, offer a year-long guide for inner peace, soul awakening, and spiritual healing.

Healing Music: Meditation, Calm & Soul Alignment

As a pianist and composer, I have created nine meditative and therapeutic albums, including:

Mother-Earth, Father-Sky, Nation of the Stars, LUV, Mirrors of Souls, Semper Fidelis – Meditations & Relaxation, and Beatitudo Hymn: Renaissance (2025).

Available on all platforms, my music is a form of audible prayer — a bridge between the visible and invisible. Each composition is a sonic sanctuary that supports meditation, emotional healing, deep rest, and spiritual realignment.

Reiki Mastery, Intuitive Guidance & Holistic Transformation

My search for meaning deepened into a powerful spiritual revelation that led me to become a Reiki Master, intuitive healer, and spiritual guide.

My philosophy is simple and born from experience:

“A healer must first heal themselves. From inner peace, we can truly walk beside others.”

In 2023, a life-changing initiation — cancer — became a rebirth. Through faith, meditation, music, and unwavering trust in life, I rediscovered serenity and found a renewed mission: sharing light, resilience, and hope.

My journey, featured in At Least They Don’t Shoot the Piano Player (Hometown News, 2023), reflects the power of courage, prayer, and spiritual awakening.

My Mission Today — A Sanctuary of Healing & Light

Today, I dedicate my life to helping others remember their true essence: luminous beings living a human experience.

Through my books, meditations, music, and energy healing work, I offer a space of gentleness, clarity, compassion, and inner transformation. My message is constant: Healing is not fixing — it is returning to the light already within us.

“My path has been creative, demanding, joyful, humble, and infinitely sacred. If even one step of my journey illuminates yours, then every lesson, every note, every prayer has fulfilled its purpose.”
