begin the slow, tender work of building a life  aligned with who you truly are.

ABOUT

I'm Marie, I work with women who want to reclaim the narratives driving their life. To reimagine work, health, spirituality and relationships. Women whose stories sit at the intersection of midlife, inherited trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic health conditions. Highly sensitive, creative, deep-thinking and feeling souls, who truly experience the world differently. I work with their daughters too, helping them make informed life choices.

My work is rooted in wisdom from decades of lived experience, depth psychology, and embodied practices. Together we explore psychological, biological, spiritual and social needs to build a life aligned with who you are.

A chartered psychologist and impassioned educator for 30+ years working globally with all cultures and backgrounds. Now Highlands based I offer zoom or in-person coaching and workshops.

WHy I do this work

My darkness was there before I was born, passed on to me through motherhood. It accumulated over the years, at midlife it came knocking. It brought me literally to my knees...trauma, arthritis / endometriosis / adenomyosis, neurodivergence, single motherhood, life transitions, and gaslighting from the medical profession.

During these shadowy times I was forced to listen to my body and to the untold stories driving my life.

I began the slow tender work of reimagining how to live. Embracing the parts of me that never felt safe, nurtured or worthy of existence and unearthing the pure gold from within. Because of my experience I support women who want to reimagine their next chapter.

What people say

Sally Bonnie: Director of Inspiring Futures & Inspiring Women.

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.

"The first thing you see of Marie is her warmth. I felt comfortable straight away, she is a wise and accomplished woman. I had children later in life and cared for both parents before they passed. Menopause was hell and I also received my diagnosis for Autism. Marie helped me to reframe my life rather than resent it, she gave me hope. Thank you." (Helen)

"You have been quite inspirational to me. What you teach and how you live resonated with me a great deal. I believe there is empowerment in living more holistically. I want to bring this to my personal and professional life." (Jean)​

You helped me find my own path, my own way, learning to trust myself. This process has been scary for me but I'm coming to understand that this is how we become the true version of ourselves." (Emma)

"Thanks you. You helped me open my eyes, my mind and soul..to listen to my gut and body. You provide a magical process of transformation and creation." (Danielle)
