TALK TO ME

EVERY WOMAN HAS A STORY.

I'M HONOURED TO PLAY A ROLE.

LIFE WAS GOOD, BUT
IT COULD BE BETTER

"I went into this experience with the mentality that everything in my love and sex life was already “good” … but now I know that we can all have (and deserve) better than “good”.

We started with little things like learning how to be IN your body in a present moment - and it wasn’t until I spent time learning techniques from Mariel that I realized I am RARELY actually physically present. Having a scheduled weekly time to check in with her and give focus to turning inward absolutely changed my life.

While many sessions were playful (and later resulted in some of the most passionate moments my husband and I have ever shared wink), Mariel is not afraid to help you dive into your primal emotions and to guide and support your journey through the uncomfortable (but important!) subliminal issues that are blocking you from living your most loving life."

UNEXPECTED REVELATIONS AND HEALING

"The time she spent helping me unpack childhood trauma yielded such unexpected revelations and healing regarding my suppressed fears of becoming a mother, associations of guilt with pleasure, and my general lack of self-worth. She held such precious and genuine space for me to be vulnerable that I often said things (through tears) that even I was surprised to hear myself say out loud.

We found such acute locations in my body for some of the pain I had held from childhood and past relationships that I have chills even thinking about how long they ruled silently in and over me. Mariel has an incredible gift for holding safe and reverent space for others that I can wholeheartedly say I’ve never found in another person. She is abundant love above all else, and I’ve never felt more authentic, seen, or vulnerable as I did in my time with her."

IT FELT LIBERATING, ENERGIZING AND EMPOWERING

"Mariel was born to do this work. She radiates love and light and you can't help but feel drawn to her. In my work with Mariel, she welcomed me into a space that I can only describe as a warm glow that wraps around you and makes you feel as though you're in a protective bubble. She is the perfect guide for a journey back to intimacy, connection and self.

As someone who finds it hard to speak freely without crafting and curating, I found myself compelled to share even my innermost truths and desires with Mariel. As she guided me through each session, it felt liberating, energising, and empowering to release limiting beliefs and reinvigorate my experience of intimacy and connection. Mariel combines an intimate, gentle, and empathetic coaching style with a body-focused, experiential approach, which will find you peeling back layers with every session to reveal a version of you that you had no idea was there."

SIGNIFICANT AND
LASTING BREAKTHROUGHS

"Mariel is intuitive, encouraging, and kind-hearted. She creates a warm and welcoming space with the feeling of talking to a close girlfriend who can coach you through deep, emotional experiences. She was really present and listened deeply to me, and she was able to zero in on the blocks that I have that have been holding me back from being completely free and happy.

In the time I spent with Mariel, I made significant and lasting breakthroughs that will help guide and inform my journey for years to come. She is amazing and a joy to spend time with!"

I COULD BE MYSELF AND

REALLY SHARE THE TRUTH

"I was apprehensive at first, not knowing what to expect. From the first minute I logged on I felt at ease with Mariel and felt I could be myself and really share the truth as to my current situation with myself and with my relationship. She taught me skills that helped me connect more with my body and to really understand why the current dynamics were coming to play.

We did many sensory role-plays and mindful activities that let me see things for what they really are and also helped me to make some necessary changes within my life and relationship.

I thank you so much, Mariel, this coaching has been incredibly transformative for me and I have been sharing your contact with all my girlfriends."

NAVIGATING ME
THROUGH MY BLOCKS

"I really enjoyed working with Mariel, she’s an amazing coach! She has a very calm, kind, and warm demeanour, which put me immediately at ease and created a relaxing atmosphere for our conversations. Mariel was really great at holding space for me. She's a great listener, totally unbiased, non-judgmental, and non-critical. I felt like I could be myself at all times, which is very important to me.

Mariel also has great mastery of the coaching tools and techniques. I learned some really helpful (and cool) new things that I was able to put to practice with amazing results. When I felt stuck or experienced resistance, Mariel quickly came up with helpful solutions and tips, which were incredibly effective. I was really impressed with her knowledge. And also with the overall ease of navigating me through my blocks that didn’t feel forced."
