Life-coaching Otago Region

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a trauma-informed, body-centred approach to therapy, drawing from Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and an understanding of the nervous system. I bring warmth, deep care, and integrity to this work, supporting people to come home to themselves through the wisdom of the mind–body connection.

This can support those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear. And those feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or longing for more ease and connection.

I have been instrumental in the mindfulness modalities for therapy and emotional regulation across Australasia since the mid 2000s.

There is no time like now to step up and grow your relationship wellbeing.
