The stories we tell ourselves shape our lives 

Welcome

I'm Marie. At the heart of my work is a simple belief...the stories we tell ourselves shape our world and sense of self. Influenced by family, care givers, societal culture and inherited from previous generations...we become the capable one, sensitive one, the perfectionist, the one who seeks approval.

 

At midlife something shifts. Carl Jung called this enantiodromia, a natural cycle when what we’ve suppressed, ignored or masked demands to be heard.

It shows up as a sense that the life you’ve built no longer fits who you are. It reveals itself in dreams and what no longer feels like home. It arrives as crushing grief for unlived lives or lost versions of ourselves, deep-seated rage for years of self-abandonment or pain from autoimmune flares. It's a hunger for greater aliveness...

Begin the slow, tender work of unravelling your outdated and untold stories. Build a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.
