Life After Fifty; Welcome to the Judgement-Free Liberation Zone

Life after fifty definitely comes with some downers but over all, it’s time to celebrate moving into the judgement-free liberation zone! There’s something sort of magical that happens when we get past fifty. We start to gradually shed the pressure to be more. More successful, more popular, more fun, more accomplished, more perfect. We ramp up to this point our entire lives – always trying to be more. Now that we’re here and we realize how many years have gone by with us working so hard and trying so desperately…

Learning to Embrace The Big Shut Out

One of the hardest things about our kids growing up and becoming independent is learning to let go and embracing The Big Shut Out. It’s not easy to go from being intimately involved in (and even responsible for) their every need for at least their first decade, to having to get in line for a moment with them when they are teens. As they mature and start to make decisions for themselves, we instinctually back away, a little bit at a time, to give them space to learn and to make…

Finding Purpose Can Help Fight Feeling Down

Everyone has times when they’re feeling down – that’s normal. But to feel down more often than not over a prolonged period of time is not ok. So how can we pull ourselves up and out of those blues? Purpose, true and authentic purpose, is one way that can help fight feeling down. I’m not suggesting it fixes clinical depression. I’m not a psychologist and I wouldn’t dare suggest how depression should be treated. I’m talking about the sadness we feel on those rainy foggy days (like today if you’re…

Mindset: What happens if we focus on what could go right?

What could happen in our lives if we could steer our mindset to focus on what could go right instead of what might go wrong? Even those of us who consider ourselves eternal optimists (yours truly included) can still have boat-loads of fear crippling us and preventing us from personal growth and from achieving our goals. Growth happens when we have the courage to push through our fears and worries to get to the other side. What gets presented to us on the news is an stream of mostly the…

Midlife: A Stop on the Path to More

It’s called midlife because there is a second half of life to live. In years, our second half may not end up being equal to our first, but in terms of personal growth and satisfaction, it can be. In fact, it can be more. It’s up to us to make that happen. Our second half of life might include pursuing new (or old) dreams, interests, passions or perhaps even newfound purpose helping others. No one can give us a map for our journey, it’s our path and it’s unique to…

Never underestimate the importance of good friends in your life

Having good friends in midlife is so important. Even though many of us have spouses or significant others, nothing takes the place of good friends. You know who they are – the ones who make us feel that we’re not alone in whatever we’re going through. The friends who have our back (literally, they’ll tell us if there’s a hole in our pants) – our peeps, our tribe, our squad. The ones who reach out when it seems we’ve gone M.I.A. I especially mean the few friends who know us…

I’ve learned to value myself

Just 12 weeks with Marlene and it’s been a fantastic experience! Through her guidance, I have learned to value myself as a person and to accept the responsibility of making my life an amazing one. I will continue to use all of my tools and expand upon them.

Mary C.

Filled with Healing Energy

I really recommend Marlene! She is a wonderful practitioner. Her sessions always make me feel relaxed , balanced and filled with healing energy. Not to mention she is so personable and loving . She is a true healer and genuinely cares about her clients. Marlene also sends an email after the session of intuitive impressions that she received during the healing and they are so detailed and helpful . Each message resonates with me 100 percent every time.

My session will help me going forward…

My distance reiki session with Marlene was very relaxing. I felt so calm, almost falling asleep. I felt a light pressure at times during the session which allowed me to see what areas Marlene was working on. After the session, Marlene provided the messages that spirit had for me. It resonated with me and will help me going forward. I am excited to book another distance session!

My knee felt so much better…

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a distance reiki session, but as soon as it began it was as if Marlene was in the room with me. As the session progressed, a feeling of peace started to come over me. I had been having issues with my knee and during the session, that knee started to tingle as if the energy was flowing to that particular spot. When the session concluded, I felt lighter, and my knee felt so much better. Even though the Reiki was performed from a distance, I could feel the energy emanating from Marlene.

Marie K.

Powerful and emotional

My session felt like a warm hug. It was powerful and emotional in a way I didn’t expect. I felt wonderfully relaxed afterwards. I slept so well after the session and I woke up feeling lighter.

Linda S.

Relaxing and destressing…

I know this sounds crazy, but I felt like the outline of my body was humming with a low, warm hum! I am feeling less worried and more accepting of the days and weeks ahead. I also slept much better than I had for several nights and woke up feeling warm and energized.
