She became a woman who...

Hi, I'm Marie. At the heart of my work is a simple belief...the stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape and transform our lives.  Influenced by family, care-givers, culture, and inherited from previous generations...we learn to dim ourselves. To soften our intellect, quiet our heart. Be reasonable, moderate, as though this is how we could belong. We became those stories. 

Some of us were never built for this. We come alive at the edges.
At midlife something shifts. The life we’ve been living no longer fits who we are. Painful autoimmune flare-up, deep-seated rage for the years of self-abandonment, or crushing grief for unlived lives. These shadowy times reveal all we suppressed, ignored or masked. Forced to listen to our body and untold stories we begin the tender work of embracing our edges.
