Marcia was my guide into being a ‘real adult.’ She opened my eyes to amazing possibilities in my life and supported me to get there. Her calm and loving demeanor was like a light in a storm for me. I will be forever grateful for the contribution she made to my happiness and fulfillment in life.
She considers the whole person in an integrative coaching model that honors work and non-work passions. Before working with Marcia, I felt trapped by my successes at work, and also felt guilty about feeling that way. Now I feel excited and joyful about pursuing options that contribute even more richly to both my personal mission and the mission of my employer. Marcia helped me find my true voice.
To work with Marcia is to witness authenticity in action — a congruence between inner and outer selves. Using provocative questions and reflective space, she models a Socratic approach to teaching and learning that makes her an exceptional teacher/guide.
My retreat was inspirational and fun. The exercises and questions from Marcia helped me to clarify the question I came in with. I think anyone wanting some clarification around a decision or the next step would benefit from a personal retreat with (sic) Marcia.
Imagine what it would be like as a coaching client to be met with full acceptance, curiosity, an open heart and deep insight. Marcia approaches coaching with great skill and knowledge of the Enneagram, however, it is her quality of Presence that allows clients to know themselves in a deeply authentic way so that they can arrive at their own truths and expansive capacities. Marcia’s integrity, aligning who she is with what she offers, is easily apparent. I trust this wise woman completely.
My retreat began with the first phone call with Marcia, and her initial questions set in motion a powerful journey of discovery. The retreat environment is not only welcoming and comfortable, it is ideal space for transformation to occur. Marcia is a gifted coach and guide for those seeking a breakthrough.
In the retreat Marcia knew to respect the process and not push it. She was very very clear that she was there in support of my agenda not imposing her own. Marcia would be the perfect person for someone just beginning the journey of self discovery as well as someone who’s been on it for a long time. Whatever part of the process you’re in, she attunes to that level.
Retreats with Marcia are a restoration and a revelation. Different every time, the design emerges organically to offer just the right question, nudge or invitation. Marcia brings deep listening, flexibility to follow where the proces leads, and an endless repetoire of tools, practices, and exercises to mee the emerging needs and opportunities of each moment. My retreat with Marcia gave me clarity and courage to pursue the career I have always wanted.
My personal retreat was fantastic! It was a wonderful experience. It was a really thoughtful time and it was a chance to reflect on meaningful things in my life. Marcia uses her intuition to really to help you reflect and ask yourself important questions.
Marcia provided me with a meaningful exploration of the enneagram through her adept and compassionate questioning. I appreciated the exploratory approach. Marcia’s ability to mirror back to me the deeper feelings that I was not able to fully express at the time and her reminders to be aware of my somatic responses at certain points (and working with that) was a true gift. I am deeply grateful.
