begin the slow, tender work of building a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

I'm Marie. At the heart of my work is a simple belief...the stories we tell ourselves are spells that shape our world and sense of self.

 

Influenced by family, care givers, societal culture and inherited from previous generations...we become the capable one, the caregiver, the professional, the good girl, the perfectionist. Then at midlife something shifts in our psyche. Carl Jung called this enantiodromia. A natural cycle when what we’ve suppressed, ignored or masked demands to be heard. It shows up in the body as a sense that the life you’ve built no longer fits who you are. Reveals itself in dreams, what you pay attention to and what no longer feels like home. It arrives as crushing grief for your unlived lives, deep-seated rage for years of self-abandonment or self-betrayal and a hunger for greater aliveness. You so you begin the slow, tender work of building a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
