About

I'm a big fan of cold water dips, reki, sauna, sound healing and other types of self-care. These practices help to regulate our nervous system but for those of us who experience neurodivergence, endocrine and autoimmune conditions they don't address the root of our dis-ease in this world.* We often continue to struggle, masking even from those closest too us.

In our society that moves too fast, sounds too loud and feels too hard we have lost the ability to sit with ourselves in stillness, voice our darkness and meet ourselves with compassion. This is how we cultivate inner safety, wisdom and remember who we truly are. My work is here to support and guide you.

I'm Marie, a neurodivergent woman who has grown wiser and wilder through my hard-won experience. For decades I 'successfully' moulded myself to fit societal values, not realising it was making me ill and taking years of my life. Today I try to live differently, cultivating inner wisdom through key principles:

+ You have instincts and wisdom shimmering just beneath the surface, LISTEN.

+ You have been conditioned not to LISTEN

+ Let your body, breath and spirit guide you...LISTEN.

I've worked across countries and cultures for 30 years, grounded in Jungian Depth psychology and verdanta yoga/meditation, my expertise also includes hypnosis, rational emotional behavioural therapy and somatic psychotherapy. I teach psychologists, psychotherapists and other health practicioners and continue support through mentoring and supervision.

Work with me 1:1, join a group, online sangha, workshop or a retreat. The work we will do together is rooted in relationship...in safety, truth and compassion. I'm deeply committed to respecting your individuality and helping you to express who you are more fully.

*dis-ease; originates from old French word...lacking ease.

Safe spaces
in which you can breathe, cultivate inner wisdom, & restore faith in yourself.

What people say...

"For me you are someone who helps me open my eyes, my mind and soul..helped me to listen to my gut and body. You provide a magical process of transformation and creation." (Dani)

"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)

"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." (Jean)

About me

Today my past makes sense, ater decades of silent struggle. In my late 40's I was diagnosed as neurodivergent and like many women I was previously misdiagnosed with a stigmatising 'disorder' with no effective healing. The shame sat with us hence the never-ending self improvment hacks, perfectionism, endless maintream therapy and pharmaceuticals.

I chose to become a psychologist to focus on healing instead I realised that mainstream approaches to mental health are actually a disservice to women. Because of my personal experience I changed the way I work incorporating earth based traditions, verdanta yoga and the wisdom of Jungian Psychology.

After a lifetime of city living, juggling work as a single mama and three autoimmune conditions I moved to the Western Highlands of Scotland, beside a loch. I help women address the root causes of their dis-ease by creating spaces to breathe. I treasure ritual, nature and soulful conversations. I love magic, coffee, the sea and plants.
