what stories drive your life?
Welcome
Life is challenging enough, when your story sits at the intersection of inherited trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic health conditions, it can feel incredibly dark. It is easy to get lost in grief for our unlived lives or unravel in outdated stories.
For decades, we blamed ourselves for the burnout, crushing pain, overwhelm, and emotional rollercoaster. If only we could try harder, we told ourselves, even as our careers, health, and relationships suffered the fallout.
Today, we know it was not our fault.
We are wired differently. We were never made to be cogs in a soulless productivity machine. By design, we are here to walk a different path.
Midlife offers a powerful turning point to reclaim your story, embrace your truth, and become who you were always meant to be.
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 story changed so did my life. I focussed my energy on building my life around what really matters...becoming who I am meant to be, one day at a time.

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.
