take the path you secretly dreamed of...embody your deepest life force
ABOUT
At the heart of my work is a simple belief, the stories we tell ourselves shape our world and sense of self. Our stories are influenced by family, care givers, societal culture, those we inherit from previous generations and our biology. After decades of conditioning becoming the capable one, the caregiver, the professional, the good girl, the perfectionist, the outcast, something shifts deep in our psyche drawing us back to our innermost self.
Carl Jung called this enantiodromia, the moment when what we’ve suppressed for too long turns and demands to be heard. It shows up in the body as inner resistance and a sense that the life you’ve built no longer fits who you are. It reveals itself in dreams, what we pay attention to and what no longer feels like home. It arrives as crushing grief for our unlived lives, deep-seated rage for the years of self-abandonment and a hunger for greater aliveness. This becomes an invitation to take the path we secretly dreamed of, the one where we return to our deepest life force.
Ipseity (ip-see-uh-tee) Latin; meaning the core essence of who you are; your unborrowed, innermost self, deepest lifeforce, unmasked.
WHAT SHAPES MY APPROACH
Midlife brought me literally to my knees...arthritis, endometriosis and adenomyosis flare-ups, neurodivergence, single motherhood, self-employment, misdiagnoses and gaslighting from the medical profession. I listened to the gurus and followed their life hacks. Not much changed. What made the difference was understanding how the stories and unseen forces shaping my life effect my mind, body and spirit. I began a daily practice to embody who I am at my core. I offer this to you, to become your most trusted guide and fully inhabit who you are.

Marie has this wonderful gift of making you feel you can do anything. 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.
