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. I work with the women who in the first half of life, were told to find the middle. To soften their intellect, quiet their heart. To be reasonable, moderate, as though the middle were a place we could belong. Influenced by family, care-givers, culture, and inherited from previous generations... we dimmed ourselves. We became those stories. 

Some of us were never built for the middle. We come alive at the edges.
At midlife, something shifts, a sense that the life we’ve been living no longer fits who we are. It shows up as painful autoimmune flare-ups, deep-seated rage for years of self-abandonment, crushing grief for unlived lives. This shadowy time reveals all we suppressed, ignored or masked, a hunger for greater aliveness. We begin the tender work of embracing our edges. We become the woman we truly are.
