Live life powerfully, creatively, and intentionally because…

“When you live each day with intentionality, there’s almost no limit
to what you can do… you begin to live a life that matters.”

I believe emotional growth is about recognising old behavioural patterns, letting go of what no longer serves us, and developing the tools to face challenges with confidence. This growth empowers us to make choices that reflect who we truly are, rather than living a life shaped by self-defeating habits. With this in mind, my work is guided by a desire to inspire clients to grow their potential and create a life that feels meaningful and balanced.

Through education and practical strategies, I support individuals to identify and challenge self-limiting beliefs that hold them back, nurture their strengths to navigate difficulties confidently, and align their lives with core values that guide their choices. This process fosters living more powerfully, creatively, and intentionally.

I bring compassion, validation, and care to the therapeutic work, while also challenging clients out of their comfort zone when relevant if creating change is aligned with their therapeutic goals.

With a personal interest in natural therapies, I take a holistic approach to emotional wellbeing, acknowledging the connection between mental and physical health. Through a collaborative process, we work toward cultivating a balanced sense of self that promotes both a healthy mind and a healthy body.

In 2015, with the help of colleagues and friends, the Balanced Wellbeing Centre in Eltham, Melbourne, commenced operations with the intention of offering treatments that inspire balance. Over the years, we’ve welcomed many practitioners from a range of modalities, all contributing to a shared vision of supporting wellness. Our ongoing aim is to foster a supportive environment.

Purpose-and-Passion

The Purpose & Passion book was produced to inspire others, particularly women, to take deliberate action in their lives and careers, and to live with greater intention and purpose.  This collection brings together diverse perspectives and experiences from women who have created meaningful change across a range of fields and industries.

Dr Marie’s chapter, Affirm Your Potential, is intended to inspire women to grow into their potential and move toward a life that feels meaningful, purposeful, and passionate. She shares her personal story of feeling stuck, empty, and unfulfilled, despite having achieved what many would consider the socially expected ‘perfect’ life.

In her chapter, she outlines the strategies and insights that helped her break through long-standing patterns of self-doubt and limiting beliefs, with the hope that others will feel encouraged to overcome their own self-defeating patterns that hold them back.
