Testimonials
"Working with Marilyn was undoubtedly the smartest thing I’ve ever done. Serendipitously, a HUGE life decision landed in my lap just as we started our coaching sessions. Marilyn helped me recognize some underlying fears and how they were getting in my way. I have always considered myself to be confident with an ability to make quick and decisive decisions. In this instance I seemed to have lost all my confidence and was completely unhinged with my inability to choose a path. When we started out I was worried my emotions would spill over, which they did, but Marilyn always provided a safe space to share. Making tough decisions and moving to a “better place” is hard work and admittedly I found the process a bit exhausting. Marilyn never left me without filling back up my reserves. In addition to assisting me with this important decision Marilyn also left me with a better understanding of who I am and what’s truly important to me.
Marilyn is extremely well read and would quickly and easily reference some of the world's best authors/thinkers to allow me to consider their words, as they pertained to me. I so appreciated this because one could literally spend a lifetime reading inspirational self help books. I do believe Marilyn has done this and working with her was like having a library at your fingertips along with the knowledge of what important teachings each author might provide.
Never forceful but always direct, Marilyn helped me get to a decision. She left an indelible mark on me which has translated to my life and the people most important to me.
Thank you Marilyn!"

"The five months I worked with Marilyn were life changing. I found her approach to be curious, attentive, authentic, non-judgemental and kind. I came to so many important realizations about myself and the challenges I was looking to address, and always felt that the discoveries were my own - that I was in the driver's seat - supported to make these discoveries through her thought provoking questions and observations. I've learned to reconnect to my instinct and be more aware of my body and gut feelings, rather than only the linear thinking I'd been relying on. My work with Marilyn not only helped me to address the challenge that brought me to her, but serves me in all areas of my life. My work is not done, but I feel very confident I'm on the right track."

"I have tried speaking with certified counsellors in the past but have not found the connection and value to be anything near the experience I had with Marilyn. She has a gift to put real life issues into a simple context. She handles my personal issues gently with such grace and understanding that I feel safe and comfortable with anything that we discuss. Marilyn has supported me with many different personal issues including helping with extended family relationships, balancing my life, giving me tools to help with everyday challenges that everyone encounters and transition into retirement. She has enhanced the quality of my life greatly! I highly recommend Marilyn as a life coach."
