Mentoring

Walking beside you on your Soul's journey

Hello, lovely you!

I’m so delighted that you’re interested in 1:1 Mentoring with me!

This information is designed to help you see whether you resonate deeply with Mentoring with me, so you can connect in with your full body yes, your willingness for us to walk together.

I don’t often offer one-off sessions.

If you’re wanting Aware Parenting support for one or a few sessions, you can find a list of all the amazing Aware Parenting Instructors in Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia on my website here and in the rest of the world here.

If you’re wanting shorter term Marion Method Mentoring, you can also find a list of Certified Marion Method Mentors here.

However, I do offer longer-term (six and 12 months of mentoring), as well as an immersive one-month experience of 1:1 work in Aware Parenting and The Marion Method, including for Aware Parenting instructors and Aware Parenting instructors-in-training.

I love supporting parents with Aware Parenting, and anyone who resonates with The Marion Method for reparenting and reculturing. I’m passionate about guiding others to free themselves from Disconnected Domination Culture consciousness.

Marion is a wise medicine woman. Her medicine is love and compassion. The Divine mother love energy flows through her and touches everyone who comes in contact with it. She has shown me what it feels like to be loved unconditionally and for that I will be forever grateful.

You’re most likely to be a fit for Mentoring with me if:

 

You already know that you deeply resonate with me and my work and have listened to my podcasts/read my books/done my courses enough to know that we are likely to be a beautiful match.

You are willing to do your own inner work, and have probably been involved in inner work already for some time.

 

You deeply resonate with Aware Parenting:

You want to dive in deeper to understand Aware Parenting and to embody it at an even more nuanced level, including working with the balance of attention, attachment play, and loving limits, as well as becoming more present and compassionate with yourself and your child/ren.

You might be wanting to differentiate between needs-feelings and healing-feelings with your baby, support your toddler to sleep more restfully, or help your child to get freer from their control patterns.

However, most of all, you probably want them to stay deeply connected with who they really are, their true innate presence, their spacious awareness, and with their intrinsic wisdom.

 

You deeply resonate with The Marion Method:

You want to apply the Marion Method to your reparenting and and/or your relationship and/or your entrepreneurial journey.

You want to really trust that your psyche and body are always doing what they understand to be most helpful, and the only thing that’s awry is that they are responding to situations from the past that no longer exist.

You want to embody the principles and practices of Love, Will and Conversations with Life in your daily life:

 

Love:

You’re wanting to express your feelings and thoughts and be received with unconditional love, and you want to develop or deepen your relationships with your Inner Loving Presences and to move increasingly towards unconditional self-love.

You want to increase your capacity to be lovingly present with all of your feelings, with deep compassion for all the younger parts of you, willing for them to receive reparative experiences.

You want to get free from Disconnected Domination Culture conditioning, especially guilt, shame, self-judgment, comparison, competition and judgment of others.

 

Will:

You want to stop coercing yourself into doing things and overriding your noes.

You want to embody the willingness work every day, in your most minute choices, to the biggest desires and decisions in your life.

You want to get really comfortable in welcoming your frustration and rage, and to express them in healthy ways.

You want to increasingly be able to listen to your yeses and noes, to embody full body yeses and noes, and to live from them in your day to day life.

You want to feel a deep sense of your true embodied power and to increasingly live from there rather than from powerlessness or power-over.

 

Conversations with Life:

You want support to decode the Conversations with Life, and to live your life collaborating with Life, with a deep sense of flow and trust. You want to experience a deep sense of belonging and to lovingly and willingly follow your callings.

You want your personality, life and relationships to be a clearer reflection of your Soul – who you really are, as a unique, powerful and loving being in the world.

Mentoring with Marion is a magic that I didn’t know existed and I couldn’t have imagined I needed. Our time working together went beyond my expectations, and forever changed me as a woman and as a Mother.

What do you really want?

 

Aware Parenting:

If you’re a parent, or a couple, do you want to deepen your practice Aware Parenting with your child/ren, supporting them to be deeply connected with themselves and their feelings?

The Marion Method:

Do you want to receive ongoing unconditional love, so you can find your own source of unconditional love from within? Do you want to be able to love all the parts of yourself ? Do you want to live from an anchored sense of Lovingness so you can also respond to others increasingly from there rather than from your younger parts and cultural conditioning?

Do you want to do your own inner reparenting, connecting with your inner children as well as your Inner Loving Mother and Inner Loving Father? Do you want to go back in time and receive healing for those younger parts? Do you want to support them to get freer from cultural conditioning and to put down the guilt and shame sticks?

Do you want to gradually free yourself from Disconnected Domination Culture conditioning of coercion, guilt and force? Do you want your Will-Hurts to be heard – your frustration, powerlessness and outrage? Do you want your willingness channel to be more free-flowing, so you become more and more willing to have, do and be what your heart desires? Do you want to feel more of your innate power?

Do you want to be a conscious participant in your Conversation with Life even more? Do you want to feel an even deeper sense of belonging, meaning, and interconnectedness?

Do you want support in sharing your gifts in the world with willingness rather than coercion? Do you want to be in clear Conversation with Life so that you feel a deep sense of flow and fulfilment in your life’s work?

Do you want to trust your Self and Life even more than you do now?

Thank you for giving my me my first experience in this lifetime of communicating with another human who seems to have no judgement and just compassion and unconditional love. I’ve literally never experienced that before to that depth and it’s amazing. It’s been such a gift to experience that from another human, thank you. It’s also been way more healing than any inner child work I’ve done before.

Paulette

Im here with you 2000 x 2000 px 1
I’m  so  willing

to support you in practicing Aware Parenting with your child/ren, if you’re a parent, so your parenting journey can be filled with love, joy, listening, and deep connection.

The Marion Method:

I would love to offer you unconditional love, over and over again.

I would love to help you hold the younger parts of you with the most gorgeous compassion, and to give them what they really needed back then.

I’m here to help you develop relationships with your own Inner Loving Presences, so that you can increasingly replace harshness and dissociation with a wellspring of loving presence for all parts of you.

I’d love to help you connect with what your heart longs for, and to hear all the parts that stop you from being willing to have that, so you can find deep, embodied willingness that Life then responds to.

I’m here to walk support you in freeing up your willingness channel, so that you feel the energy in your body to take willing action and to know how powerful you really are.

I’m willing to support you to increasingly live from your Soul; from the love and the power that you truly are; to be who you really are and do what you’re here to do.

I’d love to help you see the Messages from Life and to feel a deep sense of belonging, so that you know that you’re here for a reason and that Life wants you to share your gifts.

 

The mentoring with you has been so amazing and profoundly transformational at such a deep level that I will forever be grateful.

More details

 

This is mentoring, rather than therapy or counselling.

This is for people who already have some degree of I consciousness, which means you can be present with your uncomfortable feelings, are generally aware when you’re identified with younger parts of you, and know that the harsh voices about yourself are not true, even if you are still working with putting those sticks down.

This is not for people who are suicidal, clinically depressed, have frequent panic attacks, or who are often flooded by painful feelings.

“Every year I’ve seen your mentoring offers and had a strong sense that I’d love to do it but the timing never felt right. I never got a “yes”. This year I was delighted to have the “yes” and to sense the timing being right for me. I was entering a new phase of life, with my children, my work, my health and the things that I knew were holding me back. I had a sense of where I wanted to go but after years of feeling stuck in various loops, I had no clear sense of how I could get there.

I expected fireworks, revelations, dramatic unveilings and instead this year with you has been one of sweetness, love, reassurance and discovery, but in a really easeful and nourishing way. Of course there has been revelation but somehow the continual simple loving presence that you provide has created something unexpected for me – an inner resource I didn’t know I was missing and a trust that everything I need to heal is already here with me.

I think I’ve always looked for gurus, final answers, structures that would make everything better and there’s been something about this time with you and this year that has dismantled that in the best possible way – not because you aren’t amazing, wise, insightful, inspired (you are!) – but because you facilitate your mentees to recognise their own insight, wisdom, inspiration and the abundant resources we already have to heal and to create meaning in our lives.

I feel I have become more of myself, my own best ally…tuned in even more to my own magic and the magic of those around me. And the things that I dreamed of at the start of the year have somehow come to pass in a way I could never have imagined – such an easeful way. I really recognise the power of willingness now!

More than anything I have come more to peace, through our work, with the understanding that there is no destination and I’m not going to come to a place where things have stopped ever hurting! It’s such a relief! But now I have the inner resource so much more firmly in place, through your modelling what loving listening feels like in my body, to give that to myself whenever I need it.

I’m so very grateful Marion, for all of your own inner work that has got you to the place where you can offer this deep compassion for others. I have felt your lack of judgement so strongly and that has made me feel so free to explore what I really want, what is really possible and to trust that I could bring any aspect of myself and still be loved.

All this and so much more.

To anyone thinking of doing mentoring with you I would say, of course, do it! Jump in with all your many hearts. And prepare to be surprised, loved and nourished. I’m glad I waited for the “yes” and I’m so very glad it finally came!”

The Marion Method:

“Working with you over the past three years has been a complete transformation in every facet of my life. I initially sought your guidance with the simple intention of deepening my Aware Parenting practice and helping my young baby sleep better. Little did I know that our journey together would evolve into something far greater—a profound, life-enhancing experience that has touched every part of my existence.

From the outset, your compassionate and insightful mentorship helped bring light to the complexities of past relationships, and ways these relationships were not serving me (or them). You guided me towards compassionately dissolving connections that no longer served my growth and instead, being willing for and calling in new relationships where I feel deeply seen, safe, and supported. This transition was filled with an abundance of compassion and grace, qualities that have become the foundation of my new, empowered self.

Throughout our work together, I’ve learned to reclaim my power and honour my true desires. I have become attuned to my own needs, powerfully expressing my “yes” and “no” without guilt. No longer do I find myself compromising my well-being to meet the requests of others. This shift has opened a path to living authentically and joyfully, guided by a deep trust in Life’s unfolding.

The profound changes I’ve experienced are not limited to external circumstances. Internally, I have discovered a renewed sense of self-worth and inner power. Being in your presence, Marion, and receiving your unwavering support, has allowed me to rediscover how powerful I truly am. Your ability to see, hear, and understand me in ways I had never known has been transformative.

Every session with you has been a sanctuary where I felt completely held and nurtured. The Marion Method and Aware Parenting have been instrumental in this journey, providing me with tools and insights that extend far beyond parenting. They have illuminated a path to my true self, helping me to heal and grow in ways I could never have imagined.

I am filled with immense gratitude for you, Marion. Your work, your presence, and your unwavering support have been pivotal in my journey towards a more empowered and fulfilled life. Thank you for guiding me to this place of deep connection, joy, and authenticity.”

Dearest Marion,

I first heard about you through a shared post from Kate Baltrotksy, an Aware Parenting Instructor I was following.

I loved what you had written and started following you. You wrote a post about willingness and ways that our own willingness (or unwillingness) show up in our children’s behaviour.

At the time I was having trouble with my breastfeeding relationship – my daughter was wanting boob all the time and I found it so difficult to say no. I started journalling about it and so much grief came up about losing her love if I said no to her. I cried rivers of tears and knew I had touched on something deep.

So I bought your willingness course and worked through it. It was life changing!

I had been trying to buy a house all year and losing out at every auction.

I was living in my mum’s shed, feeling completely isolated, my partner and I were fighting and he was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Mum and I were fighting too, so it felt like the two people closest to me were hurting me the most. It was so hard. I was only just surviving through huge releases in emergency listening time though Hand in Hand.

Within a couple of weeks of practising willingness I was feeling like a changed woman and we finally bought a house!

The clarity I was able to bring to the negotiation of the sale made what had seemed so difficult, a complete breeze!

I was learning to hold myself through deep fear of losing love when I said no to people or stood my ground.

I signed up to the Marion Method Immersion and learnt about the whole Marion Method.

I loved learning about how the psychospiritual parenting approach and how much our babies and children mirror us and teach us about unconscious, often harmful patterning.

Parenting has become the greatest teacher through having these tools to work with this deep psychological material.

Seeing the patterns that have come about through the domination paradigm and having a framework to understand and heal is so, so powerful and I am so grateful for this work.

I then signed up for ‘The Room’ and loved tapping into the conversations with life and the poetic wisdom that the collaboration with Mary brought.

During this time I also completed ‘get free from guilt’ which I have gone back to over and over and used this information to try to guide other mothers and friends when they were hurting themselves in this way.

I kept thinking about the Marion Method but wasn’t sure if I could afford it. Then one day I decided to go for it, and emailed you about it and you said you had just been thinking that you wanted me to join the group!

It’s amazing how often these synchronicities have happened in my work with you.

The sessions with you have been so powerful. You are so supportive, so insightful, so loving.

I also just love where our conversations flow and the energy and inspiration I feel rush into my body through our conversations.

The sessions have often brought about deep healing. My relationships have all improved immensely. I am much more able to speak up for my own needs as well as listen to the needs of others even when there is conflict between the two. This in itself is huge for me!

I now feel like I have a much more solid base to put my ideas out into the world, something I have struggled with immensely in the past.

The groups are also so wonderful. To have a group of women who are deeply committed to healing from the domination paradigm and all their wonderful insights and support is so spacial and just as much part of the healing journey.

The wonderful thing is there is always more to uncover, learn and practise. The tools are like a taurus, every spiralling, turning back in and revealing more.

I am so so grateful to you, your incredible presence and your wonderful body of work, Marion. Thank you!”

1 – 1 mentoring with Marion … It’s hard to find words to describe the journey I have been on ever since I started the mentioning.

I don’t know where to start expressing my gratitude for the things Marion has taught me.

The things I have learned have changed how I see myself and the world forever. The love and acceptance I felt during that time have been life-changing and I’m still finding it hard to understand how having Marion in my life for such a relatively short time has changed everything so totally and absolutely.

Never in my life have I felt so deeply understood, listened to and cared for and nourished.

Marion is more than a mentor. The way she helped me connect the dots in the most loving and compassionate way is like watching an artist paint a picture.

Her voice is with me every day and has become a resource that I can tap into whenever and wherever I need to. Her presence and love feel like an invisible string guiding me throughout the day giving me a sense of belonging and trust.

Marion’s work is so incredibly powerful and transformative that I truly believe that she, and everyone having been on this journey has the ability to bring change. Change that is so desperately needed.

If you feel called to do this work, do it. Don’t hesitate. This is the pathway to a journey you will never come back from. It is ongoing.

Once you are on it, and if you are willing, the invisible string of love and wisdom will guide you and stay with you gently pulling you towards the life that you have always dreamed of.

This has not only been the greatest gift to myself but to everyone around me, particularly my family. Thank you, Marion, for walking beside me and sharing your gifts, wisdom and knowledge so generously.

Lena

 

I cannot begin to express with words all the ways that working 1 on 1 with Marion Rose has completely changed the course of my life. Giving myself the gift of working 1 on 1 with her will forever be one of the most important ways I have chosen to spend my money. There is no price I could put on the transformations that have happened in my life as a result of this work. Working with Marion has laid the foundation on which I will spend the rest of my life building on.

If you’re looking to work with someone 1 on 1 for 2020 who will support you completely, honour you deeply, and guide you with LOVE, look no further. I promise you won’t regret it!!

Lindsey

 

Marion, you are my psychospiritual mentor and I deeply value the journey I have embarked on with you over the last few years.

I have been fortunate to complete many of your courses, online groups, and individual face to face mentoring sessions.

You have deeply touched my life in many areas including parenting, career, personal and spiritual. Your support, wisdom and insight have been transformational for me.

I feel so deeply connected to myself and my children, and a growing interconnectedness with everything within and around me.

My heart is filled with gratitude and I look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Emma

 

It is hard to put into words what it is like to work with Marion. I went into mentorship because after years of work through books and courses, parenting still felt so challenging/depleting/impossible.

 

For weeks, it just felt like me talking about my day and my struggles, and her listening and validating. She would send love to all my younger parts, and offer reflection. It felt like a relief to have someone to share all my day to day challenges with, but at the same time, it just felt like we talked about the same thing over and over again.

 

Then when we were in session one day I let it all out. I raged, cried and got really pissed off. Before that session that day there was still that hesitation to really be seen in all my rage and trust I would still be loved, but I was. Marion gave me the space to be myself and celebrate all that I am.

 

Little did I know at the time, that those early conversations talking about the same thing over and over again were repairing years of broken trust in my relationships. They allowed me to feel that trust was a possibility. The loving presence and patience that Marion provided in our sessions gave me a sense of safety that I had been longing for, and was able to reclaim within myself.

 

With this renewed sense of safety and foundation, I brought a fuller experience of myself to our conversations. I had the space to voice things I would normally hide. I began to see challenges in my life in a different way, even in a humorous way, yet still hold the pain/frustration/anger at the same time. It felt liberating! I felt like I could be myself and forge deeper connections just by being me.

 

She taught me the power of love spans time and space. She taught me how the simple act of sending love to your baby self can change you, and those you love, especially your child.

 

Marion showed me a different way to engage with life. She showed me the magic in the everyday, and that deep, healing laughter could be found in the most ordinary places.

 

I am forever grateful!

Vicky

 

A Year with Marion is quite simply the most important thing I’ve ever done for myself.

 

Marion holds a space where any and all things are welcome. In this space I had the opportunity to relax, release and look at my life in ways I had never done before.

 

I trust that whatever arises is Life offering the next part of the puzzle. With Marion I was able to meet whatever arose, hear the invitation, and reimagine moments in my life where I had misunderstood myself and Life itself.

 

The beautiful tools Marion has created—the Inner Loving Presence Process and the Willingness Practice in particular—have settled deeply in my bones. Through the ILLP, the dialogue in my head, that voice that narrates my day, is now loving, compassionate and supportive. The Willingness Practice has become second nature. Because of it, I now have a strong alignment between what calls me forward, and my capacity to flow with it willingly. Things that would have stopped my progress or slowed me down in the past are now understood and folded lovingly in to how I proceed. Things that used to stop me now simply show me what else I want or need in order to move forward.

 

An old fear of being judged for what I say used to prevent me speaking up. Now I see that the fear was showing me that I need to feel safe. Today I am willing to speak, and I am not willing to receive judgement from others.
A fear that writing and publishing more would mean less time with my family shows me that I value the time we currently have together. Today I am wiling to write and publish more AND do it in a way that maintains beautiful connection with my family. It is no longer an either-or proposition.

 

My life is enriched in very profound and very practical ways by Marion’s work. Having her one on one support, being in the presence of her deep compassion and acceptance, has been truly life-changing. It has literally rewired my brain to expect love, compassion and ease.

 

If you feel called to work with Marion, I can sincerely assure you it is a call you can trust. Mentoring with Marion is a gift that will last a lifetime.

Mary

 

I signed up with Marion and her Psychospiritual Entrepreneurship Immersion as a way of gifting myself some outer support to help me take action on a women’s retreat I received a clear downloaded to offer.

 

For many years I’ve worked quietly and intimately 1: 1 with women as well as running regular womens circles but I’d never really marketed myself in any big way feeling content with word of mouth referrals. For this retreat though I was being called to show up in a bigger way and I knew that I felt some fear around using my voice.

 

When I reflect back to when we first began, I can see with hindsight how my core issue showed up in our very first session together! We kept losing internet connection and whenever I spoke it was cutting in and out. “A clear message from life” as Marion would say.

 

To be honest, as I reflect back I am so blown away by the profound nature of the work that Marion & I did together, it is difficult to put into words.

 

And when I tune in as to why, I sense its because of the deep soul nature of Marion and her work.

 

I felt so deeply held and safe to express myself in Marion’s Presence.

 

I could FEEL her unconditional love, compassion and deep empathy on every level of my being as she listened. Her guiding words penetrated me body, heart and my soul.

 

During some of the most intense times, Marion helped me understand how the fear and pain that was arising in the present, as well as the thoughts that I believed along with it, were from my past coming up to be loved & acknowledged. This was so helpful for me to be aware of when I was in the thick of it.

 

She helped me expand my own capacity to be lovingly present to those intense experiences AND move through them by reminding me of my power as the woman I am Now, deeply trusting in my connection to my Divine nature as well as to my Soul’s calling.

 

She supported me to move at my own pace, deeply trusting my process moment by moment, and I truly believe this was so integral to the deep healing transition I went through.

 

During our whole time together I could feel how Marion genuinely believed in me, and in my Sovereignty.

 

And I believe this is because Marion is a true Queen herself, whose compassionate leadership was born to inspire us to step into ours.

 

My psychospiritual journey with Marion helped me realise that I was not speaking to a whole part of myself and my personal journey that is important to share in my offerings.

 

In acknowledging this I witnessed powerful energetic shifts happen within my family relationships both backward and forward in the timeline. I feel so grateful to be integrating all of this now and aligning to my truest path.

 

Words cannot convey my love & gratitude for you Marion.

 

Our journey has shown me that you cannot underestimate the power that holding space in unconditional love & safe connection can do for someone, and that we definitely don’t need to do this deep inner work alone xx

Tammie

 

The mentoring I had with Marion over the past six months has been such an incredibly deep well of support for the issues I’ve had showing up; particularly in uncovering the root of old patterns from the past that were still playing out.

The Marion Method unhinges old, outdated domination paradigms and brings better outcomes through more love-filled, tuned in, compassionate choices. It’s like learning a new language that opens new doors.

Since meeting Marion and being guided by her teachings over the last few years, I’ve added so many powerful, loving practices and approaches to my life’s toolkit.

Working with Marion will cause deep shifts in the way you connect with yourself and life itself.

Tiff

 

Marion is a wise medicine woman. Her medicine is love and compassion.

The Divine mother love energy flows through her and touches everyone who comes in contact.

She has shown me what it feels like to be loved unconditionally and for that, I will be forever grateful.

Shelley

Aware Parenting Instructor, Marion Method Mentor, Mind Body Parenting

Dear beautiful, Marion,

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the depth and unwavering, unconditional love and support you have shown me. You humbly describe yourself as a Mentor but your work is nothing short of healing and positively transformational. 

When we embarked on this massive journey together I consciously set HUGE goals and little did I know my Soul was setting some of her own. 

I never, in a million years, would have anticipated the profound positive shifts I so longed for would happen in such short space of time. 

To be honest, I more imagined there would be a long, slow gradual build up required in order to achieve such change, for me to establish the resources, confidence and courage to leave my ‘secure’ public service job would take at least one to two years. This happened totally unexpectedly and divinely within weeks of us working together. I am still blown away at how it all unfolded and have not been happier pursuing my soul work since!

We had been experiencing significant challenges with one of our children that was noticeable to all who were around us. The judgement and rejection of their behaviour and feelings and the lack of compassion and desire to understand what was driving the behaviour from modern society conditioning felt crippling and isolating to me. 

Within an incredibly short space of time you guided me through two massive experiences with my child, supporting and reassuring me that their raging expression was healthy and my capacity to stay with them until the charged energy and feelings neutralised would be hugely beneficial.

Along side birthing my last baby undisturbed, this was the most powerful and empowering parenting experience I’ve had. What’s most remarkable though isn’t the softening and relaxation I witnessed immediately after the rage and grief, it’s their genuine expression of love, concern and generosity for themselves and others that has consistently continued to be part of their nature for the MONTHS following and still to date. 

Pain is an interesting part of our human experience and ‘being present’ is a popular recommendation to work with or heal pain.

“be present with your emotions”

“be present with the other person, they don’t have the capacity,” 

“Just be present with yourself”

“Just be present with them”

Who else gets how incredibly freaking difficult or even impossible it is to ‘just be present’ with your own pain or with others?

This reminds me of the saying “people can only meet you as deeply as they have met themselves” – Matt Kahn.

It is crystal clear to me, and I believe everyone I have seen you work with, your ability to be piercingly present is like no other. And I feel confident in saying this is because of how deeply and passionately you ABSOLUTELY practice what you preach. 

You never expect the souls you’re working with to do things or go places you haven’t been yourself. You lead by example using your tools and practices daily not coercing others to do the same, but gracefully inspiring them too – just like a true leader. 

You know what pain is, you know how to feel and honour it, you’re not scared of it, you know that it’s a beautiful healthy part of us that needs to be heard and healed rather than rejected and suppressed. And, in my experience, you do that like no other. 

You are a living, breathing example of what is underneath the pain, love. 

Absolute, unwavering, unshiftable, undeniable, unconditional love. 

It’s where we come from and it’s where we go. It is our true essence, and you, Marion Rose, live and teach it like no other. 

SO much eternal love and gratitude to you,

Kylie

The Marion Method Immersion is a thorough soaking in LOVE. I felt it…until I believed it…until I became it.

And the biology of that belief is changing everything.

Immeasurable gratitude to you Marion and my extraordinary MMI soul sisters whom I walked with.

This is an offering of deep knowledge and tangible practice at the leading edge of mind-body medicine and psychotherapy.

I feel exceptionally privileged to have experienced this.

Clare-Louise

Marion, I am filled with gratitude for what I have learned about love and will from you. Thank you for seeing all of me, for loving all of me. 

I am brimming with smiles and heart hearing your messages.

I experience your energy as a huge loving wave that gently rolls across the whole planet. Your voice is the call of nature’s truest energies of love and creation.

Knowing you, being in connection with you reconnects me to my most innocent intent in life. 

Thank you. I love you and your message.

This is the end of Marion Method Immersion and feels like the beginning of a whole new life.

Marion, you create the most beautiful spaces. Every moment with you is enriching for me. 

And to have you plus all these other wonder women I feel SO blessed.

I have emerged from this six month immersion with a felt sense of what being ‘mothered well’ is like. A LOT of that came from Marion’s constant pouring of affection and unconditional love on me through Messenger almost nightly, 3 sessions a month, and monthly Zoom conference calls; and some was from her helping me notice how I’d done that for my own daughter and imagining it was for me too.

I absolutely loved how, in our sessions together, I could ask for whatever I felt I wanted, and Marion would happily oblige. At different times, I asked her to speak directly to my body, to my psyche (the hurt child) and to my soul. Those experiences were always profoundly moving, as she poured on love and empathy and compassion. My spirit was deeply, deeply stirred and has renewed hope and enthusiasm.


I now wake most mornings and ‘hear’ my Inner Loving Mother say to me, ‘I’m right here with you darling’….and the same when painful feelings are coming up, when I remember to. Every time, it eases the hurt, I feel more ‘cushioned’, not so raw and exposed, not so vulnerable and alone. It gives a certain sweetness to the feeling, because it’s now minus the misery of the old, old sense of being alone with it.

 

The other aspect that has had a major difference is listening to Marion and becoming aware of all the ways my avoidance of coercion has governed so many aspects of my life and decisions. 

She helped me see all the ways I know what I’ve NOT been willing to experience or have happen to my daughter, and how that’s a powerful thing.

And on the flip side of that, I’ve had a good look at where I’ve rebelled and ‘pushed back’ on anything that has even a whiff of coercion to it….and now I’m able to bring awareness of that to any decision I’m making. For instance, I might think I don’t want to do something but what I’m actually doing is baulking at feeling coerced into doing something. Once I recognise that, then I can decide, without that in the way, if I actually DO want to do it, or not.

 

And I loved our Zoom sessions. Such a WARM group of women….that’s what stood out the most to me. And I have to say, I loved the timer too, so that I could listen willingly and whole heartedly. 

 

I LOVED Marion’s generosity that lent a sense of abundance to the course, being welcomed to join all the new workshops and courses she created whilst we were Immersed in her bath of love.

 

And knowing I have ongoing access to the other members and the course material made for a softer landing, when the immersion reached completion. 

 

I can think of so many people I would love to have this experience.

I’m feeling at a loss for words.

How does one describe an experience that has been life changing and yet effortless?

Powerful yet peaceful.

Present yet full of ease.

It’s like I fell in love with myself.

I can see myself through Marion’s eyes and the view is spectacular.

I fell more in love with my children.

I fell in love with the women in my group.

Every moment I got to learn with Marion and expand my awareness was sacred and I will carry these past 6 months in my heart forever.

Nothing has changed my perspective on myself, my potential, my power to heal, my ability to form deep, resonating, mutual friendships, and my understanding of past hurts like the Marion Method Immersion.

(To the Mentees’ group):

 

I’ve so loved being part of this group and witnessing you all in all you’ve shared here. It’s truly a gift. Even though we’ve not met in person, I feel like I know many of you like old friends. This journey that we’ve all been on with Marion is like no other and it feels so good to know there are women around the world who’ve had the courage to look within and love, trust and be willing to create a loving relationship with themselves, with others and with Life. 

 

To dear Marion… oh my! I’ve expressed only some of my gratitude to you on Voxer and on our last call.

 

I want to CELEBRATE you with all of the women in this amazing [Mentees’] group. You and your Soul’s work is absolutely divine and lifetime changing. From the depths of my heart and Soul, I thank YOU for all that you are and all that came here to be. You’re ever loving and your love and support has been so helpful and inspiring for me.

 

Last week, in reflection with my time with Marion, I wrote all that I’ve learnt and embodied. I know that I’ll go deeper with all of these as my journey continues. I’d love to share it with you all because I’m so proud of myself.

 

So here goes…

– That I’m not responsible for others feelings and they’re not responsible for mine.

 

– That frustration + rage + a strong desire for answers are such a powerful mix for me. That when I lean into and become curious about these feelings that I can really understand what it is that I really want and don’t want. It creates such willingness for me. I used to be so scared of those feelings.

 

– How powerful I truly am and that I really do love myself deeply.

 

– How connecting in, listening to and loving all parts of myself is so powerful.

 

– Many Aware Parenting practices that help me be a more present and loving mother to my daughter and her future siblings.

 

– Understanding my themes, both ancestral and childhood. Knowing these helps me understand why I have behaved, acted, thought, experienced things in the past or present. Also, they help me connect in with the younger parts of me.

 

– A feeling of safety and security within myself that I’ve never felt before. I feel both ground and light within. Ahh what a relief!

 

– The power of Marion’s processes. What a gift to be able to continue to use these whenever I choose.

– Understanding my repression mechanisms.

 

– A deeper understanding of my husband and that the more empathy and love that I have with him and express to him the more that he reveals his true Self.

– That every day my love for my daughter is deeper. I didn’t think that was possible.

 

– That when I connect in with what I’m feeling, needing, wanting and/or thinking that I can then be in a place of empowerment to choose what I deem is best for me (not what others think/feel).

 

– The power of understanding, meeting and expressing my needs.

 

Thank you for witnessing me. Sending you all so much love and hope to remain in contact. Wishing you all the BEST in your beautiful journeys.

 

Love, Esther xoxo

Working with Marion has offered me an inroad to Psychospiritual Parenting and Aware Parenting in a way that has to be experienced to be believed. The transmission that occurs in the private sessions, the small groups, as well as the recorded course material go far beyond the effects of ordinary therapeutic approaches. 
 
The catalytic conversations that her very way of being bring forward, have become vital for me as a growth oriented individual who wants to play at my best, in parenting, partnering and in life.
 
As a mentee, everything is taken to a whole new level, exponentially leveraging the other trainings and courses I have invested in and bringing in a synergy that means I get so much more from each of them. 
 
I feel such sweet relief being in the mentees container, both held and nurtured as well as continually invited to step up and create, experience and express so more and more of my authentic self…. oh and her methods reliably unearth my own innate wisdom and courage to actually do it!!!

Aware Parenting Instructor

 

Marion’s work is transformational! I am so deeply grateful to me from just a few months ago, for allowing myself 1-1 support from Marion. It was one of the best investments I have ever made, for me and my whole family – especially now, being a mother of a 3 year old and a baby.

Having followed so many of Marion’s courses these past few years, this was a next level experience.

Being bathed in Marion’s pure loving compassion for 3 months was surprisingly gentle and powerful at the same time.

Here I experienced the true power of being held in such an enormous unconditional loving space – being heard, seen, acknowledged and supported over and over again during this deep inner journey of healing and letting go of past hurts and intergenerational trauma.

And that way, becoming more and more who I truly am, myself being LOVE and WILL.

My capacity to be with what is has increased drastically, such as my capacity to respond to my day to day challenges with spaciousness, gentleness, willingness and loving compassion.

I feel deep gratitude for having found Marion quite early in my parenting journey. Before I’ve known her, I had kept on searching for the right person to support me in my inner journey, and hadn’t found someone that was a fit for me. With Marion and her profound method, it was like finally arriving home (in her presence, her community and in myself) and from then on my inner and outer support just kept on growing.

And now I know it’s all there, in myself and I have the chance to tap into it, every single moment, while I am willing to receive more and more of this support.

I joined the AwP Instructor Mentoring Course for the first time in 2019, however I was not in the right time of life to be completing the training. I quickly fell behind and didn’t think about it again until March 2021. I joined the live round that Marion was running and I decided then and there that I was all in. I wanted to complete the course and become an instructor.

In August 2021, I messaged Marion to ask if she had ever considered doing 1-1 mentoring for people who wanted to build a business around being an Aware Parenting Instructor. She messaged back saying she couldn’t believe the synchronicity of Life, as she had just been thinking about offering something exactly like that! She asked me to send a list of things I would love from the mentoring, which I did, and to our surprise our lists were almost identical!

And so it began!

It was definitely one of the toughest decisions I have ever made, due to so many fears that came up. However, on my first zoom call, I could tell that this was one of the BEST and most important decisions I had ever made in my life.

Life had my back and so did Marion. She was there every step of the way from deciding how to get started, to my first post, to all of the techy things, to always showing such loving empathy and kindness to all of my younger parts that showed up to be heard.

I felt SO supported in a way I had never felt before. She gave me strength when I had none and put me back on track, each and every time I wanted to quit. She believed in me and reminded me how far I had come.

She also reminded me to stop and celebrate my wins, something that was hard for me in the beginning.

Without her support, there is no way I would have made it this far. After 5 months together, I have been able to bring this pipe dream business of mine into reality and can now clearly see my willingness to one day leave my job and run this full time, whilst travelling and homeschooling my daughter. I have also cultivated an incredibly strong and resilient inner loving crew through Marion’s ILPP work, that will be there forever.

I cannot begin to say how highly I recommended mentoring with Marion. She is an incredible role model, teacher and friend. Her experience in life, business and motherhood are incredible and I could not be more appreciative of the time we have journeyed together.

If you have ever considered mentoring with Marion in any of her offerings, don’t hesitate. Just do it. You will not regret it at all.

The words ‘Thank you for everything Marion’ are so limited in expressing my feelings of gratitude and love I have for your help. What you have done for my daughter and I and our future, is way beyond what I could write here. You are an amazing human being and I am so humbled to walk alongside you!

Aware Parenting Instructor, Peaceful Parenting

Marion’s 1-1 Aware Parenting Instructor Mentoring was incredibly helpful, resourceful and instrumental in my readiness and willingness to become a certified Aware Parenting instructor.

Our journey together was equal parts practically and emotionally supportive and the deep inner work that came with this time together was transformative.

Thank you Marion, from the deepest part of my heart for this incredible journey.

All my love. Anne xxx

Aware Parenting Instructor, Barefoot and Thankful

 

It’s such an honour to share my journey through the AwP Instructor Mentoring with you Marion. The English language is limited with words to fully capture the feelings and experience though transformational, inspiring, heartfelt, deeply connected, enriching, life changing share a glimpse into the journey.

After 12 months of maternity leave and 7 years of yearning for a life which aligned with my values I made the choice to say goodbye to my job. After 15 years of corporate, I had no idea what the next phase of my life looked like. The first step I took was signing up for your Conversations with Life course with one big question in mind – “Where to now?”

A few weeks into the course, I saw your announcement for the AwP Instructor Mentoring and something within me ignited. The feeling when I read your post, wow I was buzzing and giddy with excitement.

I jumped in fully even though I had no idea how it was all going to play out. I didn’t have a plan rather I placed all trust in a body feeling and a voice inside me saying ‘YES’. I am so celebrating me for being brave and curious to take that leap.

Walking alongside you these past 5 months I have been deeply held, heard and seen in a way I have not experienced before. Trust, connection and compassion surrounded me and supported me to safely explore parts of myself that in the past had been too painful to explore – yet these were the parts preventing me from living a life connected to my values.

After our sessions I emerged full and connected yet lighter and clear of the path forward. For all the practical, technical and emotional support you have gifted me, I am forever grateful. Your voice and words I carry with me in the forefront of my mind, encouraging and loving me every step of the way. Thank you, thank you so very much.

So much love,

Sarah xx
