what stories drive your life?
Welcome
I’m Marie, I believe, the stories we tell ourselves have the power to shape and transform our lives.
Life is challenging enough, but when your story sits at the intersection of inherited trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic health conditions, it can feel incredibly dark. It’s easy to get lost in pain, grief for unlived lives and unravel in outdated stories. I know this place from the inside, the cycles of burnout, relentless pain, crushing overwhelm and the emotional rollercoaster. We were told this was all our fault. To survive, we masked, ignored our needs and over time forget who we are and what we long for.
Today we know that our bodies had been telling the truth all along.
My Story
Age 43, my darkness came knocking bringing me to my knees...arthritis, perimenopause, trauma, autoimmune flares. Neurodivergence, single motherhood, perimenopause and gaslighting from medical professionals. During this shadowy time, I was forced to listen to my body and the stories driving my life. I began the tender work of embracing the parts of me that never felt safe to nurture. As my stories changed so did my life. I became a woman living out dreams one day at a time.

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

Marie has this wonderful gift of making you feel you can do anything. I 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.
