SAFE SPACES TO BREATHE & RESTORE FAITH IN YOURSELF
ABOUT
Spaces to breathe offers you refuge a society that moves too fast, sounds too loud and feels too hard, where we try to survive by masking, shrinking and burning ourselves out.
And whilst practices such as cold water, sauna, plant medicine, sound-healing and some talk therapies can help by allowing us to release tension, energetic blocks and regulating our nervous system they don't address the root cause of why we stuggle...because there are powerful hidden stories that control our lives.
No matter your past...your choices, experiences, diagnoses or age...it's never too late to become who you are meant to be...to meet yourself with compassion, to sit with your truth and darkness and to decipher the narratives driving your life.

ABOUT ME
Welcome, I'm Marie, I hold space for those who want to breathe more deeply and restore faith in themselves.
I'm a neurodivergent woman who has grown wiser and wilder through my hard-won experience. (Mis)diagnosed with stigmatising 'disorders' early in life I masked and eventually burnt myself out to survive. Aged 43 my body revolted and brought me to a halt. Mainstream therapy proved to be a disserve for me so I began drawing wisdom from the 'woo woo'...earth based traditions, Hatha / Verdanta yoga, Jungian psychology, hypnosis, stoicism and somatic psychotherapy.
These approaches connect us to our humanity, give us meaning and soothe us when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, traumatised and lonely. They give us back sovereignty of our body mind and spirit help us to become who we were always meant to be. My personal experience has guided my professional expertise for over a decade.
Today after 55 years of city life, I live in the Western Highlands of Scotland beside a loch next to the woods. I treasure ritual, magic and yoga. I prefer soulful conversations, long walks in nature and swimming in the sea. I love coffee, art and plants (read more here).

Sally Bonnie: Founder & Director of Inspiring Futures Partnership & Inspiring Women.
Marie has this wonderful gift of making you feel you can do anything. Marie has been my yoga meditation teacher for over five years and her mantra “Sally you can do hard things” stays with me.
I also commissioned some project work with Marie for various women's groups around Manchester. Her style and approach was just perfect. Our members loved learning new things to help with their wellbeing and applying them in their day-to-day routines. Marie has such an in-depth knowledgeable and a caring approach, it's evident that she wants women to thrive. She also has a wickedly light-hearted spirit that is so much needed in our world.
