About Me
I consider myself a Confidence Coach. I work with clients to determine what they truly want and why, giving their reasons a voice. Then we begin building confidence through action, enabling a client to take the steps needed to get where they truly want to be! We untangle the feelings of overwhelm and identify priorities. And then together, we develop effective strategies to obtain a client's goals in specific areas of life such as career, home, relationships/social life, health, etc. Through my coaching, clients begin to create a positive lifestyle that maintains confidence and inner peace.
If you work with me, I will assure personalized support and guidance. You'll develop confidence, healthy habits, reduce stress, and discover joy in both your professional and personal life.
Take the first step towards a more purposeful and satisfying lifestyle by working with a coach who commits to helping you make positive, empowering changes in your life!
My Background:
I am a former Public School Special Education Teacher. This was a very gratifying but all encompassing profession, with many challenges and obstacles. However, over time, I learned how to see my obstacles as possibilities! This led me down a profound path of self discovery. It was at this time that I started to look at my talents in a new light. I found that I was an effective coach for many of the parents whose adolescents I worked with, as well as my students, and co-teachers. I was also very adept at implementing unique strategies and opportunities for their child's academic goals, based on each student's own unique needs and talents.
After 30 years I changed careers. I received valuable training and certifications as both a Health Coach and a Life Coach, through the Health Coach Institute. Both tracks of coaching were extremely important, and I believe necessary. When coaching individuals, I strive to ensure that my work embodies the "whole person".

She is an amazing family friend and someone normal like you or I and she genuinely cares about what she does. Good person to talk to.
Maries client
When I first started with Marie, I had a lot of negative feelings about my life in relationships, friends, job, money, and success, believing my shortcomings and personality caused me to lose jobs and not have support. I tried college but it was very overwhelming and expensive, and the job process seemed too difficult. Soon after my coaching sessions started, I landed not one but two jobs!. I’ve become more active, and committed to a work schedule. My body and mind are starting to engage consistently. I knew I had to get to work even when it was difficult. In fact I have not taken a day off since I started!” Some of the challenges I’ve overcome were learning how to respond rather than react to negativity. I’ve started taking initiative. My mind and my heart have opened and I don’t find excuses to wallow and just take days off.

I was referred to Marie by someone I trusted because I wanted healthier habits. Not long after we worked together, I started to put exercise into my routine, and with that came more energy. I also started to take online classes that focused on what I really wanted to do in my life. When we talked in our sessions, I felt heard and understood, and was able to share uncomfortable issues. Marie really helped me in the area of self-confidence. She accepted me where I was. She supported and encouraged me through obstacles and helped me become accountable for my action steps. She always did a weekly check in text, which was really helpful for me. I actually gained more positive aspects than I set out to, like more confidence and purpose, and I really starting to plan for my future. I would highly recommend Marie for coaching!

Having anxiety was a burden on my life, so I went to Marie for coaching to lower my anxiety. Working with my coach was certainly helpful for me. She helped me reduce my overall anxiety which I am grateful for. Also, my daily habits which included exercise changed for the better. I think Marie is a great life and health coach and would recommend her to a friend or someone in need to talk with . All of our conversations were helpful to me, and I had a great experience working with my coach!

I started seeing Marie to help lower my anxiety and make medical decisions that would affect my lifestyle due to a chronic and severe medical condition. This condition had been ruling my life for years, and I just wanted to feel like I had some control over it. During our sessions, Marie added meditative exercises to help me relax, and cope with not just the medical portion of my life, but other aspects such as my career and personal life. During our weekly text check in, she’d gently prompt me about the action steps, which helped a lot! I started gaining confidence and control over when and where my energy was being depleted, and how to allow more positive energy in my life. I realized that I had options for what my life could look like. I made some major changes at work, and in my schedule, which brought on a much calmer environment. By the end of our 12 weeks together I had incorporated new strategies, perceptions, and habits for dealing with my chronic medical condition, as well as work and family life, that were aligned with what I really wanted and needed!
