What people say about Marie...

Sally Bonnie.

Founder & Director of Inspiring Futures Partnership & Inspiring Women.

From the beginning Marie has this wonderful gift of making you feel you can do anything. Marie was my yoga teacher and her mantra “Sally you can do hard things” stayed with me.I decided to commission some project work with Marie for various women's groups around Manchester. Her style and approach was just perfect. We received positive feedback from members who enjoyed 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. We wouldn’t hesitate to work in collaboration, or to recommend Marie to others.

"For me you are not just a teacher, you are an inspiration someone who helps me open my eyes, my mind and soul..to listen to my gut, my body. You provide alchemy between science, counselling, instincts, feelings, thoughts...a magical process of transformation and creation." (Daniela)

"It's easy to want a structured dictator to tell me how to live, you help 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)

"Liking the Practice. Love the music. Marie’s explanations (of the poses and anatomy) are brilliant! "(Mandy)

"Love Maries voice. She would give Mirim in Cadburys Caramel advert a run for her money." (Alison)

"Marie is inspiring, she has a great deal of experience within this field. She is accepting, understanding and made it easy for our group to open up. She listens encouraging you to find and speak your truth. She has given us so many helpful practices for our own personal study and development." (Sarah)

"I want to thank you personally, in this short time i've known you, you have been quite inspirational to me. What you teach and how you live resonated with me a great deal. You have inspired me to really look further into these philosophies, practices and rituals you have taught me. I believe there is empowerment in living more holistically. I want to bring this to my personal and professional life."(Jeanette)

"Marie is an excellent knowledgeable teacher. I really enjoyed her workshop."
(Jean 75+ woman & yoga teacher for 45 years)

"I really enjoy Marie's teaching style. Great atmosphere in class" (30+ Woman)

"I have made huge changes on how I feel about myself. Marie is an inspirational person. I want to be as good as her" (Kirsten)

"Marie really understands how the body moves and develops. She's helped me enormously to deal with arthritis. I'd never done yoga before and now I can't imagine life without it" (Marian)

"Each one of Marie's yoga classes is an experience. Her choice of music, meditations and sequences are so inspiring." (Zina)
