- Body Inquiry | Therapy with Marie
MIND-BODY COACHING Body-inquiry is a process that helps you reconnect with the animal body, unwind stress, and cultivate long-term resilience. In this process, we use gentle somatic engagement, breathwork, and other supportive modalities to nourish your whole being. Together, we explore tools and practices that make you more aware of physical sensations and other aspects of your experience, revealing their connection to your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intuition. The body plays an active role in shaping your boundaries, desires, and personal expression. It is the bridge between your internal life and the external world. I guide you to develop a relationship with your nervous system and the energetics that support it in a safe, respectful, and curious way. The process puts you in touch with new insights and practical tools that help you navigate life's challenges with more ease and clarity. By engaging in body inquiry, you can expect to feel more relaxed, grounded, and free. This offering is an excellent companion to talk therapy.

Consider psychotherapy Q + A The Basics The Process Fees & Policies The First Session Who can benefit from mind-body coaching? Mind-body coaching is a supportive approach crafted to help individuals develop an intimate connection with themselves. It is particularly beneficial for individuals facing everyday stress, anxiety, or relational difficulties. Moreover, mind-body coaching can provide support to those navigating transitions, changes, or personal and professional growth. This process is not suitable for individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. Is body inquiry a replacement for therapy? No. While I am a qualified therapist, and body inquiry is a supportive method designed for those seeking psychological growth, it’s not suitable for in-depth psychotherapeutic work or for individuals with a diagnosed mental health condition. The supportive discussions / tools integral to body inquiry are, by nature, different from talk therapy. My psychotherapeutic services are restricted to residents of Ontario, Canada. I support clients in all other areas as a coach. Please contact me for additional information. What is trauma-informed coaching? Trauma-informed coaching is a way of providing support to individuals who have experienced trauma* without creating further harm. The goal of trauma-informed coaching is to help individuals understand and manage the effects of trauma on their lives, empowering them to move forward in a positive way. This modality is not a replacement for, nor comparable to, psychotherapy. * Trauma : a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Trauma exists on a continuum. Complex trauma is the result of cumulative and repetitive experiences. Single-incident trauma can include moments such as natural disasters, car accidents, or the death of a loved one. Traumatizing experiences are not always as extreme as domestic violence, abuse, or other frightening circumstances. Emotionally neglectful, disconnected, or inconsistent parenting, as well as frightening caregiver(s), can contribute to developmental trauma characterized by feelings of fear, helplessness, and overwhelm. What is breathwork? Breathwork refers to many different types of breathing exercises or techniques. During breathwork you intentionally change the pattern of your breath for achieve cognitive, mental, and spiritual benefits. Some approaches are systematized while others are more intuitive. I draw from a variety of schools of thought, depending on the client's needs. This modality is especially useful for people living with chronic pain, depression and anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and grief. People also practice breathwork for clarity, creativity, confidence, and self-awareness. What is kundalini yoga? Kundalini yoga is an ancient form of yoga that involves chanting, breathing exercises, and repetitive movements to regulate the nervous system and activate your energy. Research has shown that kundalini kriyas (sets of exercises) can improve cognitive function (incl. attention, memory, and self-perception), promote relaxation, and boost physical wellbeing. It is a phenomenal embodiment practice that also happens to be quite fun! As a white woman settler and a non-Sikh, I humbly acknowledge the privilege that comes with sharing and benefiting from traditional teachings rooted in a culture outside of my own. My deep commitment lies in fostering an equitable and inclusive world, where open dialogue, critical thinking, and compassionate action pave the way for positive change within our communities.

And if you block it, it will never exist... The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open." Martha Graham

- My Approach | Therapy with Marie
APPROACH I'm here to help you — be honest and present with yourself, overcome challenges, playfully explore the intricacies of your relationships and wellbeing, navigate and resolve the knotty threads of past experiences, and cultivate perspectives that propel you forward at a pace that suits your natural rhythm. As a practitioner, I — create a safe space for you to show up sincerely, just as you are. am accepting, compassionate, and non-judgmental. actively encourage collaboration and choice. acknowledge and use challenging moments for growth. Scroll down to find more about my approach BOOK A SESSION My eclectic methodology involves modalities that explore how your thoughts, emotions, sensations, actions, and energy interact in your unique experience, influencing your wellbeing. I incorporate somatic work into psychotherapy and coaching, combining it with an client-centered, relational, mindfulness-acceptance-based, and post-modern approach to promote a sense of wholeness and contentment. I work collaboratively, tailoring my offerings to your needs, fostering a strong client-practitioner relationship to make room for safety, growth, and transformative self-intimacy. My work is also trauma-informed. I believe there is immense power in attention, acceptance, and open awareness. As Viktor Frankl put it, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." My psychotherapy and coaching practice is dedicated to cultivating honesty and presence through all levels of your being, including the body, so that you can take better care of yourself. As you invest time in self-exploration, you will strengthen your resilience and self-compassion, empowering you to navigate challenging experiences without disconnecting from your vitality. The tools I provide guide your exploration of self with curiosity, empathy, and kindness. Some reconnect you with sensations and emotions, while others address thought and energy, offering new perceptions of yourself and the world. I warmly invite your authentic, imperfect human nature to our sessions, where there's ample space for quirks, humor, and more. My approach acknowledges the myriad factors shaping your identity, including the impact of systemic influences. In our equal partnership, I honor your expertise in your own experiences, striving to foster growth within complex systems. Typically, my work with clients is long-term. Trauma-Informed Trauma can have a lasting and persistent impact on the nervous system, whether resulting from a single event or as a consequence of repeated experiences, such as witnessing or experiencing neglect, violence, poverty, discrimination, war, and more. It can affect your sense of safety and well-being in both significant and subtle ways. The wide-ranging, non-verbal effects of trauma can often go unnoticed for years, manifesting as feelings of numbness or disassociation, a desire to avoid people or activities, impulsive behavior, explosive feelings of shame or anger, unexplained physical ailments, and more. I ground my offerings in trauma-informed principles. Some of the tools that I offer are pathways into the nervous system, drawn from trauma-informed modalities that focus on restoring the brain and body to a state of safety and wholeness. These may involve working with breath, movement, self-touch, visualization or guided meditation. Relational We are built for co-regulation. The interaction of two nervous systems is one of the distinctions between working with a practitioner and simply reading a self-help book. Central to my approach is the establishing of mutual trust, creating a secure container where you can feel seen, heard, validated, understood, and supported. In our relational work, we may focus on nurturing interpersonal skills, exploring attachment styles, and fostering the your capacity to establish boundaries, show self-compassion, and embrace intimacy with yourself and others. Mindfulness-Acceptance "Attention is the beginning of devotion.” — Mary Oliver Softly look at your thoughts, emotions, sensations as they emerge. Watch them rise and pass, without judgement, rejection, or fear. Receive this moment of presence and kindness, planting the seed of acceptance and friendliness towards yourself. Rest in your being. My approach involves methods that foster mindful self-awareness, as well as the experiences of non-duality and non-attachment. Meditative practices strengthen brain regions that enhance your ability to communicate, connect with others, and pursue your goals. Acceptance and awareness also enable us to hold multiple perspectives at once, which is helpful for working with existential and cognitive conflicts. I will guide you in navigating challenging thoughts, emotions, and sensations as you cultivate self-compassion and open to your experience. Post-Modern, Feminist Postmodern and feminist approaches help us critically analyze societal influences on our self-perception. I encourage a collaborative and equal client-practitioner partnership, emphasizing your strengths, innate self-knowing, and autonomy. Learn more about psychotherapy / body inquiry / health coaching THE KEEPERS OF EXPERIENCE "If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: Infinite" ~ William Blake THOUGHT EMOTION SENSATION The Mind: Understanding Your Story Within each of us lies an experiential biography that guides our mind and body to respond habitually. These internal roadmaps can merge timelines, bringing the past into our present. Your day may be full of cyclical encounters with enduring meaning and beliefs, rigid social norms, repetitive emotional responses, and ancient coping strategies. You may find yourself lost amidst all of the noise — feeling disconnected from your spontaneity, genuine joy, and close bonds. My approach involves deepening your understanding of your current situation with the help of your body. Beyond discussing these patterns, my aim is to facilitate an experiential encounter with change. I assist you in capturing the feelings, not just the stories. Mindful self-awareness enhances your presence in your life. By slowing down in session, you connect with concealed emotions, sensations, and thoughts, recognizing and addressing entrenched patterns. Such coherence enables you to differentiate what's within you from what's outside of you, making you attuned to your inner and outer origins. Rooted in your essence, you can forge deeply meaningful connections with others. The Body: Feeling Your Being Life is a sensual practice, and your experiences are shaped by your consciousness as it interacts with the world through your body. The human body offers both strength and insight. As Joan Didion aptly stated, 'The body is the instrument of our existence in the world, the medium through which we make our connections and fulfill our responsibilities, and the locus of our greatest satisfactions and deepest dissatisfactions.' Trying to do with our minds what the body was designed for is the quickest road to burnout. Neglecting the body in favor of the mind, especially when dealing with challenging emotions like anger, shame, guilt, and more, entangles the mind in complex coping patterns that create a false sense of safety that promotes physical / emotional exhaustion. Often, we numb ourselves unconsciously when faced with overwhelming circumstances. My approach seeks to demystify the felt sense and emotions. Together, we explore, express, and regulate emotion and sensations, using the valuable information to guide your actions. This includes recognizing "bottom-up" felt experiences to help you feel safer, calmer, and more regulated in your nervous system. The Spirit: Presence in Matter Questions of meaning and values, philosophical and spiritual dimensions of experience are welcome in session. Exploring our being is most helpful when paired with gentle, grounded awareness of the self beyond the mind and body. This allows you to engage with your thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed. Tuning into this level of awareness has a restorative effect on the nervous system and opens doors to the deeper feelings of compassion, safety, and pleasure, as well as creative forces that invigorate our lives. These are key ingredients in reparative work that supports recovery from stress and trauma. Certain practices help us develop a posture of non-attachment. My approach incorporates these into client work to support your multidimensional wellbeing. Nourishing the Whole Self: An Integrative Approach to Wellbeing When we prioritize our thoughts over our senses, we may unintentionally disregard essential hunger and sleep cues, suppress gut feelings, and push ourselves beyond our limits, making it harder to feel grounded and well. My integrative, somatic therapy approach empowers you to befriend your body and your being so you can engage with life more fully. By tending to your body’s needs, you can experience a deeper sense of peace, connection, pleasure, and relaxation. Learn more.
