I wholeheartedly recommend Marianne as an exceptional life coach. She is thoughtful, insightful, kind, and deeply knowledgeable, bringing both clarity and compassion to her work.
Over the five years that I had the privilege of working with her, Marianne consistently met me where I was while also challenging me to grow beyond my comfort zone.
Through our work together, she helped me develop and refine the skills I needed to become a better version of myself—the version I genuinely wanted to be. Her guidance was never prescriptive; instead, she empowered me to build self-awareness, confidence, and sustainable habits that continue to shape my personal and professional life.
I can say without hesitation that I would not be where I am today without Marianne’s support, insight, and steady belief in my potential. Any individual who works with her will benefit not only from her expertise but also from her rare ability to inspire meaningful, lasting change.more hopeful."

“When I first started working with Marianne I was really in a rut, trying the same things over and over with no results. I was frustrated and ready to give up.
Marianne listened and really understood my concerns. She helped me take a step back to look at my situation from so many perspectives.
Ones I would never have thought were having an impact. I am so grateful for her depth of knowledge on so many aspects of health. We are now working on the things that really matter and will make a difference to my health. I feel like I am on the right track and I am so much happier.”
— Angela Gaare
“You make me go into myself to think of things I haven't thought of before.”

“When I came to Marianne, I was like an injured animal… cowering in a corner and uncertain of my next move. Professionally, personally – I felt tremendously burnt out and defeated…and the worst…I felt like I did not have it in me to be a good role model for our little toddler.
But in less than 2 months, Marianne has been able to turn my life around completely. She has empowered me in more ways than I could have ever imagined.
She is extremely perceptive and incredibly good at what she does. She was able to diagnose the source of my malady and worked to remedy the situation right away.
She has an enormous repository of resources that she was able to share with me to help me on my life path. Resources that I will carry with me for life. I cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me. I will remain forever in her debt.”

“Marianne helped me to become more open to using relaxation and meditation skills. We set goals to use these skills in a way that got results.”

“Marianne is one of the most brilliant and intuitive coaches I have ever worked with.
Her insight and ability to cut straight to the heart of the real issue - to see beyond what I am saying so we can go deep into the work - has allowed me to heal on a level deeper than I ever thought possible.
Working with Marianne has allowed me to examine my beliefs, my abilities, my fears, my triggers, and the gifts I bring into this world so I can come out more whole, more loving, more courageous than I have ever known. Marianne is professional, wise, and brings in multiple elements of her expertise as needed to help me see my blind spots and become my best version of myself. And most importantly, Marianne’s compassion and non-judgmental aura creates the safe space I need in order to be completely open, vulnerable, and seen. The work we have done together has deeply transformed my life and continues to do so.”

“My world was turned upside down by a house fire and the loss of my five beloved cats. Having Marianne as my coach was a blessing. I'm thankful for her help.”
— Sue from Louisiana
“Marianne coached me to work on life balance while managing my business. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I went into the coaching process with openness.
The coaching sessions with Marianne flowed really well and easily. She was easy to talk to and it was so nice to feel like I could select my "own agenda" regarding what I wanted to discuss; it was nice to go into sessions with current issues I am working on. Marianne has a great way of helping me to reflect on the situation; we used tools like checking in with my body. It seemed intuitive and I was able to reflect and gain a lot of insights with the methods she suggested.
Marianne helped to bring more clarity to my vision and goals related to my business direction and helped me to realize how much I can do regarding my process to get into a great frame of mind to have things flow better.
Marianne has a very nice holistic style of coaching which feels very empowering and easy.”
— Heidi McLarty

“I started talking to Marianne during a very hard, transitional season of life.
Every time we meet, I come away with encouragement and hope.
She often gives me very practical tools to use, but sometimes just gives me a listening ear and help untangling with thoughts. I find myself remembering parts of our conversations just when I need to. I highly recommend Marianne's coaching services.”
— Kelly
“My experience during coaching sessions with Marianne was, first and foremost, feeling truly seen and heard by Marianne. She was fully present and invested in my progress and wellbeing. In each session, she created a beautiful space free of judgement and open to whatever I brought.
What stands out to me the most is Marianne’s deep curiosity and her ability to connect the dots and reflect back what she hears. Her questions helped me create meaningful insights that were both eye-opening and supportive in moving forward with what I wanted.
The biggest gift of coaching with Marianne was how she helped me integrate all the different parts of myself that I was resisting or pushing away. I now feel a greater sense of wholeness and acceptance that have led to more self-love and compassion.
I would recommend coaching with Marianne because she’s completely invested in your wellbeing and helping you achieve the outcomes you desire.”
— Marta Regalado
“I'm eternally grateful. You've helped me to plant and germinate many seeds. I will receive bounds from this harvest for the rest of my life!”

“Before I met Marianne, I was struggling to get the skills to pass my Practical Skills Assessment as a new Health and Wellness Coach. I didn't know what coaching with Marianne would be like at first, but I quickly realized there was much she could help me with!
Coaching/mentoring with Marianne has been a great experience! I have been surprised by the coaching at times: when I think I want to focus on one thing in coaching, Marianne is able to help me drill down to things I didn't know were there!
My life is different now because my coaching skills have greatly improved, and I have passed my PSA!
I would recommend coaching/mentoring with Marianne because she has the skills that really help you to be your better self.”
— Jenny N.
“Thank you SO very much for your coaching! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you for guiding me the way to fulfilling all my goals. I highly recommend your practice.
— Tracy from Tennesse
“Working with Marianne has been amazing! Each time I talk to her I have ‘a-ha’ moments that help me to see myself and the world around me in new ways. As my outlook on life has become restructured, I have realized that my life does not need to be ‘black and white.’
Before coaching, I may have dismissed my own success as small, but now I have begun to celebrate my success instead!
I have also learned that short-comings/challenges can be appreciated in new ways. I was originally skeptical about coaching but now I feel happier and more hopeful."
