Hello lovely ones,

As we reach the end of the year, our bodies often speak before our minds do.

We feel the heaviness, the fatigue, the emotion, the longing for space…

…and the quiet desire to begin the new year differently — softer, clearer, more aligned.

To support you in this transition, I’ve created a gentle 3-session holiday offering: (available online or in-person in Langebaan)

 RESET & RISE – Holiday Renewal Package

A deeply embodied journey into clarity, release, and reconnection.

What the journey includes:

• Coaching Session – grounding, clarity, and reconnecting with what truly matters
• Energy Alignment Session – releasing emotional residue and creating inner space
• TRE® Session – unwinding tension and supporting nervous system balance

Normal value: R2 700

Holiday Gift Price: R2 100

Payment plan: 2 × R1 050

Gift vouchers are available.

This is a beautiful gift to give yourself — or a heart-centred offering for someone who needs a moment to breathe again.

Dear friends,

I AM WOMAN – A Festival, A Journey, A Gathering

Sometimes, an opportunity lands in your heart before it lands in your inbox.

That’s what this one felt like.

I’m so delighted to be part of Tidal Flow Women’s Festival – a 5-day  gathering by the sea in Trpanj, Croatia, happening September 1–5, 2025.

It’s not a retreat in the usual sense.

It’s a celebration. A weaving of women’s wisdom. A space where each of us is free to choose, move, be still, soften, and remember.

Each day offers a rich tapestry of experiences:

✨ Movement, yoga, sound, and stillness
✨ Deep inner work and playful expansion
✨ A Healing Haven for private sessions by donation
✨ Women’s circles, workshops, and sacred space

I’ll be offering Group Exercise Sessions with some TRE, water-based meditations too, or 1:1 sessions, held gently within this beautiful flow.

The theme is “I AM WOMAN” — and I feel it in every cell. The power of softness. The clarity of standing in truth. The deep knowing we carry in our bones.

If your soul is whispering yes,come be part of this with us or gift someone the opportunity.

With gratitude and love to you all,

Dear friends,

If you’ve been holding it all together — juggling deadlines, care, emotions, and expectations — you’re not alone.

Many of us are being called to rise… while quietly wondering how to return to ourselves.
That’s why I’m honoured to be part of the Own Your Shift: Empowerment Coaching for Women on the Rise Summit — a free, global online event happening soon.

It’s a gathering of women coaches, leaders, and seekers — each offering tools, stories, and embodied wisdom to support the rise we’re all navigating.

 My session is called “Reclaiming Your Body’s Wisdom – A Woman’s Path to Inner Power.”

I’ll be guiding a gentle exploration of what it means to truly come home to your body — and lead from that place. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about remembering more deeply who you already are.

You’ll also receive access to my Body Wisdom Reset Kit, a supportive resource to help you begin this journey.

Hello, dear friends and community!

After a recontracting, reflective holiday in September, sorting through things in October, I dived back into life in November with a 6km swim. This was a first for me, on many levels. I thought I would send a quick message before the year winds down. It feels great to return to new routines, reconnect with all of you, and embrace each small shift that brings us closer to harmony.

I’m thrilled to share some professional milestones: my Master Coach credentialing through Comensa, completing Module 5 of Life Alignment, and awaiting my Supervision Certification. All these experiences deepen the work I love, and your support through each step means so much.

Our Thursday evening meditations have created a beautiful space of deep connection, helping each of us to foster inner harmony as we support one another. I’ve found so much grounding in the reflections shared on Navigating from the Heart – if you’re not yet part of the group, please reach out! We’d be so happy to welcome you.

Thanks to even more support, my Pilates classes in Langebaan are thriving. Great to see some swimmers there, too! Together, we’re reminded how small, mindful shifts help align our body, mind, emotions and soul. Whether it’s Coaching, Supervision, Life Alignment, TRE, Pilates, or simply stepping into the “sea”, each moment of harmony brings us closer to the clarity we all seek. The value is in knowing ourselves through loving thoughts and without judgement.

Inner harmony is like a quiet anchor in the turbulence, grounding us in balance and ease. It fosters resilience and supports well-being, allowing us to navigate life with a deeper sense of peace and purpose. What does inner harmony bring you???

You can find more on Self and More if you’d like to explore this for yourself or book some time to chat to me.

Thank you to each of you for being part of this 13-year journey.

Here’s to finding balance together, one small shift at a time.

With gratitude and love to you all,

Marléne

Last month I joined Hamish on The Crucible Podcast!

“When you stop drinking, you actually realise that you knew all along what you were doing, but you weren’t prepared to pause. It was immediately reaching out for something. So, what did I notice after I stopped drinking? I noticed I have other addictions.”

Here is the episode summary:

“Marléne shares her journey of overcoming alcohol addiction and finding healing and purpose in life. She discusses the impact of growing up with a single parent who was an alcoholic and how it influenced her own relationship with alcohol. She talks about the false sense of confidence and numbness that alcohol provided, as well as the shame and destructive behaviours it fueled. She shares her decision to quit drinking and the challenges and changes that came with it. She also discusses her work as a trauma therapist and life coach, helping others navigate their own healing journeys. In this conversation, Together, they discuss various topics related to emotions, self-discovery, and spirituality. Marléne emphasises the importance of understanding and identifying one’s emotions, as well as the need for self-love and forgiveness. They also explore the concept of synchronicity and how it can guide us on our journey. Marléne shares her insights on making heartfelt decisions and the power of positive feedback. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of self-awareness, personal growth, and finding joy in life.”
