WORK WITH ME
Go from "Is this it?" to "This is it."
For women who are tired of overriding themselves and ready to build lives they're lit up by.
WHAT THIS WORK IS
You don’t need to blow your life up. You just need to stop abandoning yourself inside it.
This work creates space to pay attention to that properly. We're not looking for a quick fix or to build stamina for you to push through, but to understand what’s actually going on underneath everything.
We look at what you’ve been overriding, what no longer feels aligned, and what you’re starting to want instead.
I don't use a formula or a fixed process. It’s an ongoing conversation with your inner voice and a recalibration that unfolds over time as you reconnect to yourself more honestly.
WHERE YOU ARE
The women I work with are not starting from zero
They are thoughtful, capable, successful, and used to handling things well. They’ve built lives that work in many ways, which is why it can feel so confusing when something inside them no longer does.
Often, they’re holding a lot. Work, relationships, kids, expectations, responsibilities. They’re used to being the one who keeps everything moving. And yet there’s a growing awareness that something feels off.
You can override yourself for years without realizing that’s what’s happening. It can look like anxiety, resentment, emotional exhaustion, over-functioning, irritability, numbness, or the quiet feeling that you’ve somehow disappeared inside the life you worked so hard to build.
Sometimes it feels like anger or even grief. Sometimes just the sense that you are slowly becoming less and less alive inside your own life.
I think a lot of high-functioning women live there far longer than they admit.
WHAT CHANGES
Life starts to feel like something you're fully inside of again
As we move through these nuanced layers, things begin to change in very real ways. You start trusting yourself again. You become clearer about what you want, less afraid to admit it, and less willing to keep settling for lives, relationships, work, or dynamics that no longer fit who you’re becoming. Decisions that once felt overwhelming start to feel obvious.
Many women find themselves making significant shifts. Careers evolve, relationships deepen or change. New opportunities appear. Their standards rise and their confidence expands. Life starts opening in places that previously felt stuck.
But more than anything, they reconnect with a version of themselves they haven’t felt in years. The woman who feels fully alive inside her own life. The woman who no longer asks, ‘Is this it?’ Because finally, deeply, honestly she feels like… "Yes! This is it."
"Mariel combines an intimate, gentle, and empathetic coaching style with a body-focused, experiential approach, which will find you peeling back layers to reveal a version of you that you had no idea was there."
