Illuminate your true nature
Navigating your Nervous System is my 3-week course helping you to understand your biological capacity, marshall your attention and calm body and mind.

The Power of Restorative Journalling is my 5-week course exploring ways to bi-pass the critical mind, understand that we are not our perceptions and rediscover what lights us up.

Navigate your nervous system.
Self-sabatage and procrastination are often diversions from the thing you want to do but don't have the capacity to do right now. This capacity is biological. You may be caught in the cravings of the mind, but your body isn't ready. We are taught by society that the 'successful' people push through...have another coffee, stop being lazy, work harder, later, faster and just put your mind to it. Many of us have done this for years. Cognitive toughness is the default of a productivity based system; do more...bigger, faster, better and longer. The consequences are felt by everyone.
​
The stress of living this way dysregulates our nervous system and affects every area of our life. Medical support masks the symptoms and fails to tackle the root cause. Nervous system regulation can help you to feel calmer and make wiser choices.

The power of restorative journalling
We desire meaning and achieve this by locating ourselves in a story. Sometimes these stories work for us but most of the time they contain us, keep us small or lead us down the wrong path. Journalling gives us access to these dominant narratives that drive our lives. It can also lead us towards our unfiltered, unstoried self as we appreciate that we are not our perceptions and there is more to our human nature.
​
A guided journalling practice nourishes and empowers those pieces of us, our nature, that we want or need to live out. We tap into our growth oriented parts, the ones we have hidden or outlawed. We learn about our wise woman, compassionate narrator or hidden observer. This practice becomes our safe container to help us unravel, release and discover our shadowed side and ultimately what lights us up.

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.
