“Working with Marieke changed my life in an immensely meaningful way. She helped guide me to see that my life is fertile ground for what I chose to plant—She helped me identify the seeds.

I had felt so scattered with interests and timidity that kept me from pursing them. Marieke helped find my power and gave me the permission I needed to honor what my soul has been calling me to do.

She gave me attainable steps to work through that made such big shifts it felt like we moved mountains.

I am so deeply glad and relieved that I feel like I am now on course for what I want and need to do next.”

“At first, I thought coaching was a way for influencers to make money! But what I appreciated is that I found it a lot more effective than therapy/a psychologist because Marieke gave more actionable feedback.

Coaching was more interactive vs. passive, which is traditionally how therapy has worked for me. Marieke really dug into certain thoughts/feelings/emotions and would reframe things in a way that made sure we got to the root of the issue.

I am very thankful of how generous she was with her time. Marieke made sure that our time was effective, I felt safe and comfortable speaking but she also gave me the space to finish a thought. I never felt rushed in our meetings or that I had to cut a thought because my time was up.”

-Emily

“Marieke’s life coaching sessions with me were grounding, inspiring, thought provoking, challenging and supportive in all of the best possible ways. 

The work I started in life coaching gave me the jump-start I needed to discover more balance, gain hope, and be connected with what’s really important to me.” 

-Candice

“I believe literally anyone and everyone could benefit from working with Marieke. I was skeptical of the whole “coaching by phone” process, but it really, really works. You have to be willing to be vulnerable and open up!

I think Marieke would be of particular benefit to women in midlife, moms who have lost themselves and constantly put the needs of others before their own.

Folks with anxiety will find someone who understands all of the “crazy” voices inside their head and she will help you face the fear and do it anyway!”

-Zarya

“Marieke is kind and gentle, but firm. She had a gentle way of guiding me through reflecting on some tough questions, yet I never felt forced as she didn’t let me off the hook too easily which is important when delving into aspects of myself that I had avoided or did not even know were driving forces in how I lived my life.

I never would have been able to do that on my own without her support.”

-Karen

"Not only were there many techniques that I learned through our coaching, but there is a new mind-body connection that I am definitely more aware of now. 

I am now able to take a step back and really connect with my heart to see if a decision is the ‘right’ one for me.  This shift has enabled me to approach future challenges from less of a ‘victim’ perspective and am instead, looking at new opportunities from a more empowered place."

-Jen

"Marieke is an incredible listener. I found her at a time when I was at a crossroads in many aspects of my life.

She is able to parse through all the stuff you are saying to find what the real obstacles are and then give you a set of tools to use to work through these obstacles to eventually break them down and live a more authentic life, but one that you were truly able to get to yourself, with her help. 

She has a warm, calm, gentle nature. After a session with her, you walk out feeling confident that everything will be alright. She is a fantastic coach and I cannot recommend her more!"

-Vivian

“I now understand how vital it is to take care of myself to benefit everyone I love. I am learning to trust my feelings and not be scared of them. Now that I have a clearer picture of my unique, very emotional personality, I can celebrate it!

Alone it would have taken me years to weed through and face thoughts and feelings I held on to. Marieke guided me to realizations that I would have NEVER figured out on my own. I now see that asking for help is so empowering!”

-Katka

“I would absolutely recommend Marieke to anyone seeking clarity on living a whole hearted, full rounded life!

For anyone who is stuck or lacks an overall sense of happiness or wellbeing. For anyone who is saying “there’s got to be more to life than this”….

For moms who are overtired, over-worked or burnt out. For moms who forgot who they were prior to becoming a mom.”

-Anna

“Marieke’s sincerity and perceptive insight are the perfect combination to help others move forward in life. Her genuine and authentic drive to connect with and help others builds trust, and her intuitive understanding and interpretation of a person’s circumstances draws out pertinent questions that lead to many meaningful ‘aha’ moments.”

I felt that she respected my pace of uncovering and discovering my truths. I never felt pushed in opening up, only encouraged. Marieke would raise questions and issues when they were time-appropriate – I never felt out of my depth or pressured to advance if I weren’t ready.”

-Jodie

“This is the real thing! I think “life coaching” can be seen as frivolous by some people who don’t know what it is, or what it is for; but Marieke offers such a unique space, and a therapeutic process, and it requires expertise and an insane amount of skill to navigate these conversations - and the result is very hard work for the people she works with!!

So for anyone who thinks this will just be a nice chat about what to do next, they should know it is major work (in the good way)!”

-Lucie

“I’m now able to drop into my body, and drop the self judgement and "I have to be perfect" façade and feel peacefully confident.

I had a lot of anxiety of what I wasn't doing or should be doing before, but this work is a masterclass in coming back to self and navigating life with more authenticity, peace, joy and a whole lot less bull shit!”

- past participant in INSPIRITED LIVING program

“Working with Marieke is a thoughtful and authentic process. Our sessions and the exercises she recommended helped me come to game-changing realisations about how I was existing in my life, relationships, and work.

Some of these realisations were affirming of what I loved and wanted to be. I cried with joy and relief. Others helped shed light on the history, patterns, and habits that fed fear, anxiety and dissatisfaction with some elements of my life and work.

I found that each session gave me something to cherish and something to practice. I’m thankful to Marieke for helping me with these life-long lessons and skills.”

-Cynthia

“Marieke has a special talent in listening and really hearing what people are saying. She then pushes through the static, always asking the right questions. I never felt any negative pressure or judgments at any time. 

Overall these sessions absolutely rocked and I always left them feeling so empowered, joyful, and focused. 

My day to day now finds me moving forward with a clearer perspective. I consider myself so very lucky to have had the chance to work together!
