You want INNER PEACE & being FIT, RICH & WELL SURROUNDED ?
Here’s a FORMULA:
EDUCATION + SELF-LOVE + SELF-DISCIPLINE = INNER PEACE & being FIT, RICH & WELL SURROUNDED
HUG4LOVE is the PEACE, LOVE & DISCIPLINE movement
Its mission is to help YOU become the best version of YOURSELF to attract your dream life.
THE only question: Are YOU going to be part of the movement ?
YOUR TRANSFORMATION START NOW
FORMULA : Education + Self-Love + Self-Discipline
1. Education
The information you hold brought you where you are now. If you want to go to the next level, you will need new information. You’ll find load of self-development educational content on all my social media platforms YOUTUBE
2. Self-Love
You must believe that you deserve to follow the strategies you learn otherwise your subconscious mind will always sabotage you into not applying the habits to attract your dream life.
3. Self-discipline
It’s the ultimate key to everything you want in life. If you are discipline on your physical health, you become FIT, if you are discipline on your mindset health, you get INNER PEACE, if you are discipline on your financial health, you become RICH and if you are discipline on your relationship health, you become WELL SURROUNDED.
An individual with high SELF-DISCIPLINE will follow the strategies to be successful if they have high SELF-LOVE to believe they deserve those successes. All this process starts with EDUCATION.
HUG4LOVE PEACEFUL STATUS
The HUG4LOVE PEACEFUL STATUS (HPS) is an exclusive symbol that someone is an INNER PEACE STRIVER for their people!
It shows the world that you have the highest standard on yourself to offer the people you are serving the HIGHEST possible quality of service.
The only way to get it is by being interviewed and receive a free hug from me!
I’m interviewing the HIGH ACHIEVERS of this world to INSPIRE & EDUCATE YOU on the best strategies, habits and beliefs to be the best version of ourselves! The goal being to make you THINK about how to apply some of their habits & beliefs for YOU to grow YOUR INNER PEACE!
The discussions will be about self-development, self-peace, self-love, self-discipline, habits, belief and much more to impact you on the deepest level.

ABOUT the founder
My name is Jean-Philippe Marier, I’m from Quebec, Canada.
After seeing the negative impact of the pandemic and the social distancing measures on people’s mental health, I started to think about ways to help.
Since lots of people were missing physical touch and that a hug has so many benefits including improving mental health, I though: ”I will give free hugs to the entire world”. That’s how HUG4LOVE is born.
Than I decided to mix my project with my biggest passion: self-development.
In order for me to reach my dream life of travelling the world and giving hugs to thousands of people, I had to transform. I had to change my mindset, grow my self-love (self-esteem) and learn how to discipline every area of my life (Physical health, Mindset health, Relationship health, Financial health)
I am now helping people to grow their INNER PEACE with self-development educational content so that they attract their dream life.
I started the Movement in February 2022 by giving the first hug in Montreal, Canada and I never stopped. Watch my adventures around the world on Youtube.
iTINERARY
On July 16th, after 510 days in a row, 15,120 hugs were given in 43 countries on 4 continents (North America, Europe, Africa, Asia) . Below you can see the number of people I gave hugs per country. Watch all my expeditions on YOUTUBE
