Ok Folks.
​​
​
My perspective on sharing reviews continues to waiver back + forth over time.​​​​​​​​
​​
​
It might be useful at the start, but I believe that trust or interest in working together is created consistently, moment to moment, when you're ready to connect.​
​
With that said... feel free to read below, trust your gut + take your time when choosing to possibly work with me.
​
​
Marie
I have had the privilege of working with Marie for several years in a Children's Hospital where she serves as an operating room nurse for pediatric neurosurgery.
​
Although the operating room can be a high-pressure and stressful environment, Marie's calm demeanor, positive energy and experience help bring focus to the room.
​
Recently, she led a group of neurosurgeons through a breathing and mindfulness exercise to help us cope with loss.
Marie is truly multi-talented and we are fortunate to work with her every day!
​
​
I have had the pleasure of working with Marie on notably a funded grant proposal: “Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness of an Embodied Radical Healing Intervention for Racial Trauma.”
She was essential in the integration of embodied healing (e.g., trauma-sensitive yoga principles) and a psychological framework within the shared yoga space.
​
​
Participants have shared how they have gained more self-awareness in how to feel into their bodies + listen to those feelings over time.
​​
​
Marie is a humble soul with lived experiences that make her well-attuned for trauma-sensitive yoga + I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again!
​
​
I am a nurse in the operating room and also help lead the Periop 101 RN orientation program for MHealth Fairview.
​
​
Marie provides us with an effective therapeutic exercise intended to help work through the stresses of learning a whole new world within their career, while still balancing home life.
These skills can be implemented almost anywhere, at anytime making it truly accessible to even the busiest human.
​
I hope to continue to collaborate with Marie!
​
​
​​Marie is a true professional who provided a great service to our teams.
​​
​
We worked together offering a stress-relieving activity to St. Paul's Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) + City Attorney's Office (CAO) respectively.
​​
​
Folks really appreciated Marie's knowledge for on-the-road, in-office, and overall work stress relief wellness techniques.
​
​
​​Marie works from a trauma-informed approach to offer yoga as a healing method for all body types. She has a grounded, calm presence and offers a lot of options for people to practice with.
​​
​
We worked together on a Somatic based TCTSY + Radical Healing study with the University of MN, and the initiative was amazing!
​​
​
She did an outstanding job where the participants were engaged and seemed to benefit from each session I attended.
​
​
I did as well.
​
​
​​Marie initially approached us as a TCTSY student + suggested we consider her final project as an actionable form of self-care for our facilitator community.
​​
​
This monthly TCTSY class led by leadership, to support facilitators + their collective work, has been implemented ever since!
​​
​
Facilitators who attend find the sessions valuable both as a means of self-care + also as a means of reinforcing their embodied understanding of the strength and impact of the TCTSY model.

Speaker Session Feedback
​​​
​
Your stories/voice let me accept and feel ok to talk about my stressers/ptsd. There are things I can do to be my own nurse. I truly appreciate you for sharing while being you! being real!!
​​
​
Working in a level one trauma center, I am exposed to stressors that take a toll on me that go unnoticed. The strategies from this session can help me to identify these and address them.​​​
​​
​
​Excellent speaker- makes me see a lot in a refreshed perspective.​​
