Reframing
Late Discovered Neurodivergence
Meet me in the middle of your story, when your soul is worn but wise.
We're the sensitive ones who notice the subtleties, frequencies, energies, colours and the injustices. We feel others pain, see the lies others miss and behaviour others ignore. Because of our gifts we struggle to find safety and belonging in this world. We hide behind a shiny facade, masking to keep parts of us in the dark. At perimenopause our sensitive brain is being rewired, we can no longer keep the shiny image alive. Like a rare and beautiful bird uncaged for the first time, we embrace who we are and fly.
Welcome, I'm Marie,
I'm glad you're here.
I too experienced the rollercoaster of neurodivergence, perimenopause and autoimmune flare ups. The safe and comfortable structures that defined me were no longer sustainable. A lifetime of hustle, perfectionism and life-hacks, no longer my firm ground. I had outgrown the mask. What I once believed and valued no longer held it's allure. Reclaiming myself took work and for a while I straddled two worlds. But something inside was calling me to walk a different path...one of greater truth, purpose and aliveness.
My Story
This work feels personal, there's no team, no marketing push, just me and a lifetime of hard won experience, expertise and purpose. Misdiagnosed and gaslighted by mainstream medicine for decades, at age 42, perimenopausal with autoimmune flare-ups the shaky ground I'd built my life on collapsed. This multilayered experience left me feeling rudderless. Today I understand the cycle of crash and burnout is part of untreated neurodivergence and why i'm an advocate at midlife. The work we do together is to decipher the powerful hidden stories controlling your life and create new narratives built on your needs, dreams and desires. I combine a broad holistic base of therapeutic modalities with 20 years as a coach.
My home is the western highlands of Scotland beside a loch, next to the woods. I try to live in harmony with my biology, treasuring plant medicine, long walks, swimming in the wild and making art..I'm a Chartered Psychologist, Experiential psychotherapist, yoga breathwork teacher and impassioned educator both in the UK and globally for 30 years. My credentials
The first thing you see about Marie is her warmth.
I felt comfortable straight away. She is also a wise and accomplished woman. I had children later in life and cared for both parents before they passed. Menopause was hell. Marie helped me to reframe my life rather than resent it, she gave me hope. Thank you. Helen.
