to live your
I want your life to feel spacious and delicious.
Do you want that, too?
No matter where you are, know this:
You CAN move into a vibrant way of living, full of ease.
You CAN define what matters most to you… your version of meaningful.
You CAN embrace your complete self and celebrate that connection.
You CAN find happiness in your perfectly imperfect life, right where you are.
Where to start?
Flourishing in your life starts with flourishing in your body and mind.
That’s where our work together begins.
I’M MARIANNE.
My passion in life is helping people explore their internal world, so that their outer world becomes an expression of vibrant living.
Vibrant living – to me – comes down to this: living your most meaningful life with ease, finding (and cultivating) delight, and slowing down enough to appreciate the beauty around you, every day.
Doesn’t that sound…délicieux?
(Oh, and I’m also a Canadian expat living in France, lover of cheese, and avid cat owner.)
How can I help you bring more ease into your life?
Creative Walking Tours
A Creative Walking Tour is a fresh and mindful way to go for a walk. Instead of counting steps or fiddling with our phones, we get out of our heads and into the fresh air by adding intention, presence and a generous sprinkle of joy.
Creative Walking Tours are a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with nature, your surroundings and yourself. When mindfulness meets physical activity, it can be a holistic transformative process.
You can go on your own Creative Walking Tour, join a 5-day Challenge, or join our A Year of Creative Walking Tours community!
Sophrology
Put simply, sophrology is a mind-body technique that uses breathwork, gentle movement and positive visualisation to help decrease stress and increase feelings of wellbeing and a renewed zest for life.
Sophrology is effective in helping to reduce stress and anxiety, boost creativity, and improve self-confidence and self-esteem. You can read more about the benefits in this blog article here.
I’m a certified sophrologist and offer 1-on-1 and group sophrology sessions online via Zoom.
