Ready to move beyond exhaustion & obligation?

Are you caught up in a relentless cycle of doing, striving and never measuring up… all the while feeling increasingly disconnected from yourself? Do you long to break free from the “shoulds” and expectations that drive your days?

What if you could access a deeper source of calm, clarity and confidence, taking actions that feel energized and aligned instead of exhausting? What if you could live with more agency, authenticity and aliveness?

Meet Marna…

Your Guide to Creating Life From the Being Place.

Hi, I’m Marna — and I'm a life coach who understands where you are because I've been there too.

Like you, I felt trapped in the endless cycle of doing, striving and measuring up until I discovered something transformative: the "Being place" – our inner sanctuary of wisdom and truth. When I practiced making space to check in with this essential part of myself, I began to experience more ease, joy and satisfaction in my life.

Now, I'm the perfect guide to help you do the same.

The Power of the Being Place

The Being place is where we connect to our sense of wholeness. It’s where we access our innate creativity and resourcefulness. And so, it’s the source of meaningful change and authentic living.

When we connect to this foundation, we gain:

  • The ability to process emotions and meet your needs

  • Clarity to observe thoughts and identify beliefs that drive you

  • Awareness to notice, heal and shift patterns

  • Power to choose your responses and life direction

    …and so much more!

My Story

Like many women I work with, I spent years working tirelessly to do and be “All the Things”. Among them: A perfect mother. Successful entrepreneur. Organized household manager. All-around dependable person.

The enormous pressure I felt to live up to expectations led to frequent cycles of frustration, resentment, anxiety, guilt and overwhelm.

When I began slowing down and connecting to my “Being place,” I found I could gain access to the calm, clarity and confidence I needed to choose what was right for ME. Actions taken from this place felt easier, energizing, and empowering… and they often had the impact I desired. 

From this discovery, both my business and guiding mantra were born:

“Our Doing needs to start from the Being place.”

For over a decade, I’ve been on a journey to unlearn the cultural conditioning that has us all striving so relentlessly. I’ve learned frameworks that free me and my clients from patterns that keep us stuck and struggling. I’ve been practising skills that can allow us to navigate the rollercoaster ride of life with more intention, ease, grace and confidence. And I’ve continued to practice connecting to my Being place, to receive wisdom about what I need to thrive.

I’m passionate about sharing all I’ve learned with you! I’m also deeply committed to walking alongside you - as a guide, support and fellow human — on your journey to create more of what you want and need to thrive in your life.
