Defining Success From Within

ABOUT

Meet Maryanne

Like you, I’ve experienced life. Hardship, stress, pain, disappointment. I’ve also experienced joy, success, and second chances. 

I believed that if I worked hard enough, I could gain the recognition I wanted. But, even with successes, I ended up falling into the same old patterns. Nagged by self-doubt, always second-guessing myself, I struggled to stay on my feet, taking on too much for all the wrong reasons. 

My personal growth journey began with therapy, and I eventually transitioned from the business world to a career in psychotherapy. During this time, it reawakened my desire to reconnect spiritually with my natural roots. This led me first into the world of yoga, then into becoming an apprentice to a shamanic tradition. 

As a psychotherapist, I noted over and over again that my clients were searching for more than what psychotherapy could give them. This is why I now offer both psychotherapy and shamanic life coaching. 

Psychotherapy can help you identify and address the issues, patterns, and triggers that stop you from living a balanced and fulfilling life. Shamanic life coaching can support you in claiming your personal power and that unique magic only you can offer.

Together, we’ll get clear on what stands in your way, learn new ways to break out of old patterns, and create the life you desire.

I started my practice in 2002, coming to the psychotherapy profession from a corporate leadership background. I’ve come to realize my true calling is to create a safe space to support people to do the work they need to do in order to thrive in their lives.

When I’m not at work, I enjoy gardening and travelling to beautiful placed, meeting new people and learning about diverse cultures.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), a certified EMDR practitioner, a certified Gestalt Therapist, and Past President of IAAGT (International Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy).

I hold additional certifications in Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and Trauma & Attachment Psychotherapy.

In the world of coaching, I am a certified Martha Beck coach, and have been a student of shamanism for more than 17 years. Over the years, I’ve studied and assumed a leadership mantle in this shamanic tradition, so that I am able to integrate these teachings into my work and offer clients the power they hold.
