SAFE SPACES TO BREATHE
RESTORE FAITH IN YOURSELF
EXPRESS WHO YOU ARE MORE FULLY
ABOUT
Welcome to Spaces to Breathe a refuge in a society that moves too fast, sounds too loud and feels too hard...where we mask who we are to survive.
This causes dysregulation of our nervous system and over time we forget who we are and what lights us up. And whilst i'm a big fan of self-care practices to regulate our nervous system, like reki, sound-healing, cold water and sauna they do not address the root cause of our struggles.
Spaces to Breathe is that safe place to land, to breathe deep, sit with your truth, your darkness and the hidden stories that guide your life. Learn to meet yourself with compassion, restore faith and express who you are more fully.
Spaces to Breathe offers practioner training and mentorship for psychologists, psychotherapists and other health practitioners.
ABOUT ME
Welcome, I'm Marie, I hold space for those who want to breathe more deeply, restore faith in themselves and express who they are more fully.
I'm a neurodivergent woman who has grown wiser and wilder through my hard-won experience. Like many women I was (mis)diagnosed with stigmatising 'disorders' early in life and for decades I masked who I was to survive. Aged 43 my body revolted. Medics call it burnout, I call it amnesia of spirit, I had forgotten what lights me up. Today my life looks different. A city girl gone Western Highlands of Scotland, I live beside a loch next to the woods. I treasure ritual, magic and yoga. I prefer soulful conversations and long walks in the solitude of nature. I love coffee, the sea and plants (read more here).
Because of my personal experience I moved beyond mainstream therapeutic approaches drawing from the wisdom and expertise including earth based traditions, verdanta yoga, Jungian psychology, hypnosis and somatic psychotherapy.I'm a Consultant Chartered Psychologist, psychotherapist and certified yoga meditation teacher.
