If you’ve found yourself on the edge of sanity—tired, overwhelmed, hurting, and having tried everything—you’re not alone. I know what it’s like to carry exhaustion in your bones, grief in your heart, and a body that feels like it’s betraying you. I also know what it’s like to find your way back to peace, wholeness, and joy.
My own journey has taken me through eating disorder recovery, surviving domestic violence, parenting a traumatized child alone, profound grief, cancer, divorce, dating after 50, and the kind of heartbreak that shatters you open. Each layer of healing revealed not just more resilience, but more love—love for myself, for life, and for the people I now walk alongside.
That’s why I do this work: to help others reclaim their lives when pain—physical, emotional, or spiritual—has taken over (even the stuff you chalk up to aging).
I believe all emotions come from love or fear. When fear gets stuck in the body, it shows up as pain, anxiety, gut issues, immune challenges, weird sleep, or a constant sense of “not enough.” Healing isn’t about pushing those feelings away; it’s about facing them, releasing what no longer belongs, reframing, and learning how to love yourself back to wholeness.
For over 30 years, I’ve studied and practiced a wide range of healing tools—energy healing, Reiki, meditation, yoga, intuitive guidance, shamanic and quantum healing, sound, movement, and creative expression. What I bring lived experience and powerful gifts including a gift for seeing the truth underneath the surface, the patterns. My clients often tell me they feel “seen for the first time,” even when they’ve worked on their struggles for years.
You don’t need to be fixed—you need to be met, heard, and guided toward the peace that’s already inside you. That’s where our work together begins.
Today, I live in the mountains of North Carolina with my son. When I’m not working with clients, you can find me hiking, playing pickleball, cooking beautiful meals, writing, creating art, chasing waterfalls, singing, listening to music, dancing, practicing yoga, or laughing with friends. Life isn’t about bypassing the hard—it’s about walking through it with honesty, love, and a willingness to keep showing up.
If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into the life you’re meant to live, I’d be honored to walk with you.

I truly admire your openness and honesty, Marni. Two valuable and precious traits– as you ‘walk your talk’ speaking your truth and being who you are!
Thank you for sharing your gifts and insights. I look forward to going along this journey with you and enjoying the ride!
I hold you in my heart, always, as a spiritual sister…

I went for a session with Marni and was totally enchanted by her perception and her wisdom. For months I was beating myself up for not being on “purpose” and wondering what to do with my life next. Always looking for a high power assignment to help a business achieve their goals and looking like a wonder woman who came in to save the day. I was burning myself out.
What Marni helped me realize was…I had to let stuff go! When she did energy work on me I felt a peace within myself that I had not felt in a long time. We talked about what I needed and what would make me happy. I am a 10 year breast cancer “Thriver” who decided after treatment to change the way to approach life… Marni observed I was letting my old habits slowly creep back into my life.
I am looking so forward to my next session. Since I visited Marni, I have been breathing more deeply, appreciating my life and my husband’s life more. She is a kind spirit who has my well-being in her heart…
