This is what past clients have to say about Self & More and the excellent services we have to offer and how we have helped them through their life journey.
And that’s the success story: as I think I told you, about a month or so after I “graduated from my 8 week TRE Process” the TRE released my knot of frantic panic which was keeping me ill, and I started getting well and gaining weight surely and steadily. Which was already a big turnaround, and enabled me to take a self sufficient flat in a retirement facility instead of assisted living I am gaining more than 2kg per month now, and weigh 50kg already! Only about 10 more to go now. And I get stronger every day. Also, I can drive again, so that I can visit my parents and do chores for them.But the big win happened during the move, which is partly why I haven’t gotten round to writing yet, as it was REALLY hectic, and as I said, I’m still getting settled.
I CAN SING AGAIN! This was my main goal for TRE, as you know, and at one stage I must admit I thought it would never happen, but between my Bowen treatments (where she concentrated on the locked jaw) and the tremors, something shifted. I am still probably a bit weak to do long stretches, but am planning to join a choir. It is a huge relief and release from all that pent up grief, and if the Ampelopsis drops do the job on my arthritis, I might even have a normal life again.
I also use myself as an example for my mom, and she has been tremoring fairly regularly herself as well. She says it helps, and I think she’s getting a little less strung out. At any rate she didn’t collapse after the move like we all expected, and has said she’s not going to let the stress get her down.
So thank you so much, and you’re welcome to use any of this for your webpage.
Coaching restored a sense of calm and balance back into my life. Feel stronger within my self. Helped me to understand and process the breakdown of my marriage. Helped me to shift my focus back onto my self and let go of fear and pain associated from a failed relationship . I felt everything had it’s purpose.
Maybe felt the timeline therapy to not be as effective as I thought it would be. Might be as I realised when doing it that I had done it before. first time I did it felt a lot more impactful. I enjoyed the way Marléne allowed our sessions to be shaped by what she felt I intuitively needed on the day.
Thank you for the time you spent with me yesterday.
I am grateful for the chat and you’ve helped me realize that there are a lot of work I need to do from my side, including focusing on myself with relaxation and quiet time each day.
If I meet anyone who needs therapy, I will refer them to you.
I decided to embark on this journey of life coaching to sort out a deep buried issue that was lying dormant in my psyche for about 28 years. The problem was there, even though not consciously all the time; it shaped how I reacted to life, my relationships and interactions I had on a daily basis. This problem, as I thought, was a major issue and the only one, and as I proceeded through this course I realized that it was one of very many.
Issues that we leave un-dealt starts festering over time and before you know it, it becomes part of your DNA and starts blinding you to the beauty that everyday life holds. It hides magnificent opportunities and provides a sick comfort to be mediocre.
My first session with Marlene was in all instances probably the best session I have ever had with councilors, psychologists, etc. I believe that I had my breakthrough in my first session unlike most people. I attribute this success all to Marlene (and as she would say, all to yourself). Immediately when I started, she laid out the boundaries, reassured that the sessions are a safe place and it truly was. I also think that if you consider this as an option that you need to be highly teachable and open and trusting to the process. Most importantly, lead and be led by this amazing journey.
I was also concerned that I lie to myself and deceive Marlene as I have done with so many others who tried to help me, but she kept me honest all the way. When I told a story that my subconscious mind tried to hide from me, then deep in the dark corners of my mind, Marlene would be standing pointing out that big issue that I refused to deal. This was for me the biggest awakening during our time together.
I am elated to say that I am no longer that little 9 year old boy, sitting in that car, frightened and waiting for someone to come and rescue me. I am my own destiny and the end goal is not blocked by anyone. I am the defender, I am the striker and most importantly I am the goalkeeper. I am truly free.
Marléne has worked closely with me over the past few months and it has been a phenomenal experience. I started doing a few Pilates classes to see if it will assist with my recovery with an injury I obtained. I spoke to Marléne about it and she suggested that I could try out the TRE sessions as it assists with tension release and could quite possibly help with the issue that I have with my Psoas.
I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. Upon my first group session, I was very warmly welcomed and felt quite comfortable. After my first session, I already felt a bit more at ease. It was an odd experience but I felt good about it.
I went on to doing some private sessions with Marléne as well and I enjoyed every second of it. There were some tough days, where a lot of tears were involved, especially in the beginning but never once did I feel judged or unsupported. The TRE sessions not only helped me become a happier person, it has also made me calmer, it helped me think more clearly about things and one of the most important things for me is that my pain has been much less. The TRE sessions have really helped with the discomfort I have been experiencing due to my injury and it has helped with my mobility in the area of my injury. My muscle, and emotional, tension have both improved tremendously since starting the sessions.
Being a person that suffers from “chronic depression”, I sometimes end up in a very dark place in my mind. One of the toughest challenges is to get out of that state of mind once I’m there. I have seen many psychologists over the years and never have I felt this good after being there. I had a few life coaching sessions with Marléne as well and her advice and techniques when working with me has really helped me along the way. She has held my hand through a few tough times and I feel so privileged to have been able to do these sessions with her. She is caring, professional, makes sure you are comfortable and at ease and she is truly great at what she does. – Elizabeth
