the stories we tell ourselves shape our world and sense of self.

Welcome

I'm Marie, i'm glad you're here.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief, the stories we tell ourselves shape our world and sense of self. Our stories are influenced by family, care givers, societal culture and inherited from previous generations as our biology.

 

After decades of conditioning becoming the capable one, the caregiver, the professional, the good girl, the perfectionist, the poorly one, something shifts in our psyche drawing us back to our innermost self. Carl Jung called this enantiodromia, the moment when what we’ve suppressed, ignored or masked demands to be heard. It shows up in the body as a sense that the life you’ve built no longer fits who you are. It reveals itself in dreams, what we pay attention to, in what no longer feels like home. It arrives as crushing grief for our unlived lives, deep-seated rage for the years of self-abandonment or self-betrayal and hunger for greater aliveness. It signals that it's time to meet ourselves fully, reclaiming the life we have left. ​
