Author, wellness educator, and creator of Menditherapy

 

Helping people understand their options and take practical steps toward a better everyday life.

​

Welcome 

 

I’m Benito Macean, a Montréal-based author and creator with a background in massage therapy, computer support, and entrepreneurship.

​

My work brings together interests that have shaped my journey: caring for people, solving problems, and making information easier to understand. Through MendiTherapy and my projects under Mendiaroos Ventures, I share educational content about wellness, personal development, and the foundations of investing.

​

From hands-on care to everyday education

 

My journey in massage therapy began with training at Hito Holistic Health Center in Brossard, followed by professional practice starting in 2012.

​

Working with clients taught me the value of listening, adapting to individual needs, and explaining things clearly. It also strengthened my interest in how everyday habits—movement, rest, and self-care—can support well-being.

​

After closing my massage therapy clinic, I shifted MendiTherapy toward a broader educational purpose. Today, the platform shares practical resources on healthy living, food choices, movement, and personal growth.

​

The way I help people has evolved, but the intention remains the same: make useful knowledge more accessible.

​

A passion for technology and problem-solving

 

Alongside my wellness background, I have experience in freelance computer support and website creation. My technical interests include computer hardware, software troubleshooting, networking, and web development.

​

This part of my journey influences how I create content. I enjoy breaking a complicated subject into manageable steps and using digital tools to help people learn.

​

My experience across client care, technical support, and retail management has also taught me to work with people from different backgrounds and approach challenges with patience and flexibility.

​

Why I wrote about investing

​

For years, I wanted to invest in the stock market, but I didn’t know where or how to start. I believed I needed a lot of money before I could begin buying stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). That belief, along with my lack of knowledge, kept me from taking the first step.

​

I began educating myself by reading books and researching how investing works. As I learned about ETFs, diversification, risk, and investing regularly, I realized that getting started didn’t require the large amount of money I had imagined. It required understanding the basics and choosing an approach that suited my circumstances.

​

That experience inspired me to write Investir avec les ETF — Guide du débutant, published under Mendiaroos Ventures. I wanted to create the kind of approachable guide I wished I had when I first became interested in investing—one that explains unfamiliar concepts clearly and helps beginners build their knowledge and confidence.

​

The book shares investment principles that readers can explore wherever they live, alongside explanations of Canadian accounts such as the CELI, REER, and CELIAPP. My goal is to encourage people to learn, ask questions, and make informed decisions as they begin their own investing journey.​​​​​​​
