“Marianne is the absolute best. She takes what most people would think of as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy a few steps further and truly helps coach you using nervous system exercises that are extremely helpful. She's very empathetic, easy to speak with, and very accommodating for schedule changes, etc. I have loved working with her!”
- Madeline Ulrich

“Marianne has many great qualities but what stands out the most is her ability to hold space with deep empathy.  In addition, Marianne is a highly skilled therapist with a rich understanding of trauma and the nervous system.

I felt extremely supported with the right amount of encouragement and tough love to help me reflect and find peace in my situation.

- Ashley DeLuca

”I hired her a few years ago. I was maximal stressed working a job and trying to grow a business in every spare moment – burning the candle at both ends burning myself out quickly. She helped me have a perspective shift – I got out of my own head, into my art studio, gave myself some space to create, changed my language of how I was speaking to myself which was everything! AND!!!! Got my first client and this was after spending thousands with “business coaches.” Thank you my friend.”
- Steph Shinabery, Founder and CEO, Genius Code Academy

”Marianne is a highly skilled coach who helped me recognize my behaviors and experience that prevented me from being the leader I aspired to be. Her expertise in trauma informed care, helped me increase my knowledge and skills and create a more productive and compassionate workplace. She is one of the most insightful and knowledgeable practitioners that I have worked with and I am forever changed.”
- K Thompson, CEO, Alliance for Living, LLC

“Being an entrepreneur can be a very lonesome and stressful journey; anxiety, comparison to others, and self doubt are with you constantly, so it’s really great to have Marianne in your corner rooting you on. With compassion, understanding and that gentle yet unrelenting push just when you need it, Marianne helps you question your negative beliefs and see the situation from an alternate point of view. By challenging you to ask yourself questions like “what if it all worked out?” she makes what at first looked to be impossible, possible.”
- Viktoria Van Leeuwen, CEO, Best Life 4 Pets

“Marianne has helped me be more self-reflective and rebuild my confidence as not only an entrepreneur and working mom but as a whole person. Her insights as a trauma therapist allows her to create safe space for you to do the deep work on how trauma manifests in your daily life AND how to move through it - giving yourself grace and compassion to truly thrive. My anxiety, self-doubt, and depression were being heightened by unhealthy and abusive relationships. During our time together, I have been able to work on deep personal trauma as well as identify how I wanted to move forward on so many aspects of my life - to have space to both grieve and succeed. Over the time we have been working together, I have made huge decisions and changing in both my personal and professional life that have skyrocketed my level of life and work satisfaction. I also really like that she’s an entrepreneur herself with a family, so she gets what it’s like to juggle all of these moving parts in a way that feels good and not stressful.”
