I started working with Marlene a several months ago as I was working towards ending my 31 year marriage. I was sad, stressed, confused and looking for a way to work through it. I needed support and had no idea where to look. A friend recommended Marlene and I am forever grateful for it. Marlene helped me emotionally, mentally, & gave me the strength and clarity to navigate my divorce. Her guidance and resources on preparing my financial path were instrumental in me being able to move forward. She listened when I cried, cheered me on when I was hopeless and did it all with humor, grace, empathy and great skill. No matter where I was at emotionally, Marlene met me there and helped me find the best way forward. I can’t recommend Marlene enough no matter where you are in your own journey. She was always available and present for me. Anyone who has her as part of their team is lucky beyond measure.

Marlene’s ability to listen and distill my thoughts, anxieties, attitude, etc and help me to better understand and channel those thoughts and emotions is absolutely stellar.  Marlene is incredibly insightful,  compassionate and most of all, REAL, in her approach to helping me feel informed and ready to deal with confidently making really hard (life altering!) decisions.  I highly encourage anyone looking for support, clarity, coping skills and a compassion to sign up for her divorce coaching services.  Life is good now and I truly feel Marlene’s guidance, insights and approach helped me get here.

Divorce coaching with Marlene was life-changing. I felt so overwhelmed with the emotions of my marriage ending, dealing with the pain of infidelity, and then on top of that, the legal choices and my fears around the financial side of divorce. She was such a rock and resource for me. She connected me to other professionals when I needed them, so I always felt like I had a way to get the answers I needed. The practices, perspectives, and understanding she helped me with supported me to stay committed to my values, to my health, and to what I wanted my post-divorce life to look like. So grateful and highly recommend her.

Working with Marlene helped me manage the overwhelming range of emotions I felt in my divorce so I could stay focused (and keep my composure) with my divorce attorney and in collaborative meetings. She helped me organize my thoughts and reality-test my goals and my decisions.  I felt much more able to make smart, informed decisions about my future and to keep myself moving forward. Wish I had found her sooner.

Marlene’s support and coaching has helped me in away where I am able to feel and work with my own strength in a different perspective. This not only helps myself, but also the people around me. I find I am able to pause more before reacting, bringing grace forward to any troubling situations. I found Marlene to be very loving and kind, and ready to get to work meeting me exactly where I was at. She has a way of seeing the strengths we forget about or went unnoticed for some time. Thank you Marlene, I am forever grateful.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first signed up for divorce coaching with Marlene. I wasn’t sure I even wanted a divorce. I just knew I had to make a change and I could feel Marlene’s genuine compassion and patience with me and my situation. I never felt judged nor did she ever try to tell me what I should do. Her coaching was the best investment I’ve made in myself and my marriage in YEARS. I can’t say enough for how she really helped me see my circumstances differently and come up with strategies to improve the ways I deal with conflict. I learned to focus my energy on the things I could control, instead of what I couldn’t.  I decided to keep working on my marriage, but I also feel more confident that I understand what the process will look like, and what the least destructive options would be, if I were to someday decide on a divorce.

Marlene is one of the most gifted healers and an extraordinary human being. Her entrance into my life was timely. I have had several sessions with Marlene and they are always so articulate, precise and nourishing. She ultimately helped me return to myself, creating a sense of calm.  So each time I have been off track she provides reminders and inclinations that everything is all right.  Nothing is out of her scope, everything is welcome, nothing is deemed to be strange, and she reminds of my purpose and how to access my own strengths.  With gratitude!

My divorce coaching sessions with Marlene are always so empowering. I come into the session feeling like I’m completely unraveling with whatever has happened that week, and it doesn’t take long for her to make me feel seen and heard. And to help me remember how capable I actually am. She helps me unscramble my feelings and get down to the business at hand – making a strategic plan, creating goals and action steps, and supporting me to follow through. I literally sleep better at night knowing she has my back and is in my corner!

Working with Marlene has been such a transformative experience!  What felt like the end of my world (getting divorced!) gradually became a new chapter she helped me to see and design for myself. Through her coaching and guidance, I was able to understand more clearly what my choices were each step of the way in my divorce process, and I’ve learned to value myself as a independent person, slowly realizing and accepting the responsibility of making my life an amazing one. I will continue to use all of the tools, strategies, and perspectives she shared with me to get through new challenges I face.
