“Everyone hears words; some hear what lies beneath them, but very few have the deep human understanding and emotional intelligence to go deeper still into the essence of the meaning and intention. Add in a strong sense of purpose and Self, along with subject matter expertise, and a conversation with Marilyn leads to magical self-discoveries. Thank you for all you do Marilyn!”
Scott Messer Founder of Sales Evolution, Broomall, Pennsylvania

Within minutes, she is able to cut right to the heart of the matter at hand and offer insights and solutions. I have developed a strong sense of trust and confidence in Marilyn in an amazingly short period of time.”
Steve Thomas CEO Detroit Athletics, Detroit, Michigan
“I was in transition at work having had a successful career, loving 32-year marriage and 3 beautiful, successful children. I sought Marilyn to coach me through a transition. In a mere 4 sessions, I am watching my whole life transform. With Marilyn’s assistance and guidance, I am now familiar with who I really am and I am building a life full of wonder and joy and developing a future that inspires me. So many things continue to improve in my life through this process including my marriage, my relationships with my children, my health and my quality of my everyday life. Working with Marilyn has enabled me to let go of long-held beliefs that were obstructing my view of the world. I highly recommend Marilyn to assist you with whatever you want to accomplish. I am confident that she will help you forward whatever you are at work on.”
Valerie Watson, Vancouver, Canada
“When I first met Marilyn I was a single dad of 3, I had one business, I was burnt out and frustrated. Her methods were instrumental in helping me discover my best abilities, and with that, a newfound power, freedom, and energy in my work and life.
Marilyn has an amazing ability to create space where you once held chaos and confusion.
Marilyn doesn’t have all the answers…what she has is even better! She has the right questions to help YOU clearly find the answers.
She’s helped me to create a life I’ve always dreamed of and now years later…
I LOVE my life! I spend most of my time how I want; I have 3 multi-million dollar businesses all run by incredible teams of wonderful people so I can focus on doing what I love and what I do best.”

“Marilyn is very caring, perceptive and she has an amazing deep emotional wisdom. She helps you unravel, demystify and unblock challenging situations and thinking, and empowers you to feel better about yourself and find the best way for you to move forward with renewed confidence. Every conversation I have had with her has created a breakthrough in my thinking.
I highly recommend her. Having Marilyn on your side is an incredibly powerful personal game-changer.”
Tim Thackrah, CEO Mentor, Director and Shareholder at Elmsleigh House Seminars and Consulting Limited
“Marilyn is insightful and has good radar on seeing into people. She has the ability to be supportive of what they might need and she is pretty accurate. She is wise, has common sense, is down to earth, is very approachable, experienced, open, and thoughtful. Marilyn supports others to find their confidence in being themselves, and you find that wonderful being inside you.
She is a spiritual realist and a great listener who hears into people and hears more than they are saying. Marilyn encourages others to trust their own wisdom and she points a path to self-actualization in a way that others can discover and see themselves. I have found my self- confidence again, trusting my own wisdom, and I am enjoying life more fully. Marilyn was a part of creating that path/journey.”
