Cultivate a healing state

I started my coaching sessions with Mariel at a very hard time during the first Covid lockdown. The first thing she did was making me realize I had the right to take care of myself and that I should indeed do that in order to be able to take care of my family. I was going through a rough period and she was always available to hear me out and always had the right thing to say. Mariel has that light and peaceful look that comes from within and that had already called my attention during the yoga lessons I took with her. Her meditations at the end of each class, the way she wrote and what she wrote touched me profoundly and had a huge impact on me. Mariel is the person responsible for my desire and absolute certainty that I want to work on myself in order to become the best version of myself.

I reached out to work with Mariel in a very challenging and difficult time of my life, both professionally and personally. No matter how stressed, overwhelmed and drained I was at the beginning of our session, I always leave feeling re-energized, more present and filled with positive energy. Mariel helped me look with curiosity and compassion at some of my patterns and provided me with powerful and inspiring insights. She reminded me of the power of stillness, of pausing. Mariel helped me find more clarity in my professional life and to connect again with the joy and satisfaction of my work, cultivating more of what makes me so passionate about it. I felt incredibly supported, listened and understood and empowered to keep walking my journey in a more positive way. I am grateful to have found in Mariel a wonderful coach and an inspirational person that leads by lifting others.

Mariel helped me achieve my life long goal with her coaching. At a time where I felt stuck and unsure of my future she helped me evaluate and prioritise the things that were important to me in an impartial way, with no judgement or agenda. My next move in life was a brave one but I felt incredibly supported and was able to talk through my hopes and doubts with ease and she gave me confidence to take my next steps. I am a now a mother to a beautiful daughter. To have her was my life long goal.

Without doubt, tremendous change and positivity has been achieved in all aspects of my life as a result of working with Mariel.
I am so grateful to continue to have Mariel as a wonderful person in my life, helping me to continually move forward to become the best version of myself.

Mariel’s words always resonate with me as if she is in my head and part of my everyday life. Having her as my coach has been an absolute gift, especially as I don’t live in the UK. I had my doubts about online coaching on which Mariel proved me wrong after our first session.
Her dedication, passion and 100% attention is so rare these days. If you ever have the chance to connect with her whether for coaching or yoga, you will agree with me on every single points mentioned above.
The community she built is a real reflection of how dedicated and passionate she is about what she does.

As a coach, Mariel is fully present and fully committed to her clients. As her coachee, I instantly felt 'seen' and valued. Mariel has a calming yet powerful energy that she brings to her sessions: ushering me into a playful curiosity where I uncovered new insights, yet calling me out when I was playing small. When I asked her to, she also drew on her yoga training to help me tap into my embodied emotions, calm my mind and access my inner strength. I highly recommend Mariel as a coach.
