Life Coaching

I’m here to help you get out
of your own way

Want to Work Together?

Get In touch for a chemistry session to ensure I’d be the right coach for you and to learn more about my coaching style. I look forward to hearing from you!

We believe that all human beings are naturally creative, resourceful and whole – and as such, everyone has within them the answers they seek. However, in a world filled with a “need now” / “do more” attitude, we often find ourselves so overwhelmed we are incapable of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Life Coaches help you get out of your own way.

The job of a Life Coach is to walk beside you, helping you to build your own inner resources. Though Life Coaching can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. We don’t coach to solve problems, we coach people to live lives.

Through Life Coaching you will look at these kinds of questions and bring your choices into consciousness so that you can then make a commitment and act on it in order to achieve your greatest desires. Tap into the massive resource inside of you that will take you forward and learn to achieve your goals while getting to know yourself in the process!

Questions We Explore

Who are you?
What dreams do you want to fulfil?
What's important to you and what do you want more of?
What is the impact you want to have on the world?

Are you living your life in line with your Values?
Are you living your life ON purpose or OFF purpose?
What is your Life Purpose?

Coaching is about you as a whole person: your values, goals, work, relationships, balance, fulfilment, and life purpose. I work with highly motivated individuals like you to develop their own definition of success. Most clients want to achieve specific goals so they can lead a more fulfilling life. Together we will design a plan that is specific to your needs and aspirations.

Our initial appointment, the discovery session, is meant to jump start our relationship. During our first session we will agree on how we can best work together and use coaching skills to “discover” the areas in your life you would like to work on as well as what drivers (things like values and life purpose) will help you get to where you want to go – your vision.

Because change happens over time (sometimes fast, sometimes not), I would recommend a minimum 3-month commitment to the coaching process. This allows the coaching relationship to develop and be its most powerful – you have my word that I am 100% committed to you being successful and living your best life!

Fees

I charge £120 per individual session. I offer additional spot coaching should something urgent come up limited to 30 minutes and no more than twice a month, as well as unlimited email and WhatsApp support between sessions to provide you with accountability, champion your accomplishments and help you stay committed and on track with your goals. Please note that coaching fees are commonly tax deductible as either a consulting or education expense on your Schedule C. Payment should be made in full prior to starting.

Schedule a Chemistry Session

This is a free session to see if we might be compatible and if you would like me to be your coach. This is an opportunity to learn more about coaching and how it might be useful to you and can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.

Discuss Fees & Hours

Though I am willing to offer coaching on a per session basis, I much rather clients commit to a 3 month bundle to really give yourself the gift of time and the opportunity for transformational change. The 3 month bundle is comprised of 6 sessions – including the Discovery Session.

Discovery Session

Our first paid session together will be a discovery session where we dive into discovering your values and life purpose – what matters to you most. We will explore creative ways to assess where you are in the now and where you would like to be in the future. Get ready to have a little fun with this one!

Additional Sessions

With each session we will look at the topics you want to address (be them the ones you started out with or new ones you discovered along the way) and work our way through them as we set actionable items to help you reach your goals. You deserve the life you want to have, so let’s work together on getting it!

Testimonials

I started my coaching sessions with Mariel at a very hard time during the first Covid lockdown. The first thing she did was making me realize I had the right to take care of myself and that I should indeed do that in order to be able to take care of my family. I was going through a rough period and she was always available to hear me out and always had the right thing to say. Mariel has that light and peaceful look that comes from within and that had already called my attention during the yoga lessons I took with her. Her meditations at the end of each class, the way she wrote and what she wrote touched me profoundly and had a huge impact on me. Mariel is the person responsible for my desire and absolute certainty that I want to work on myself in order to become the best version of myself.

— Maria Drummond

I reached out to work with Mariel in a very challenging and difficult time of my life, both professionally and personally. No matter how stressed, overwhelmed and drained I was at the beginning of our session, I always leave feeling re-energized, more present and filled with positive energy. Mariel helped me look with curiosity and compassion at some of my patterns and provided me with powerful and inspiring insights. She reminded me of the power of stillness, of pausing. Mariel helped me find more clarity in my professional life and to connect again with the joy and satisfaction of my work, cultivating more of what makes me so passionate about it. Mariel shows up powerfully vulnerable, she walks her path with courage and authenticity. I felt incredibly supported, listened and understood and empowered to keep walking my journey in a more positive way. I am grateful to have found in Mariel a wonderful coach and an inspirational person that leads by lifting others.

— Paola Brignoli

Mariel helped me achieve my life long goal with her coaching. At a time where I felt stuck and unsure of my future she helped me evaluate and prioritise the things that were important to me in an impartial way, with no judgement or agenda. My next move in life was a brave one but I felt incredibly supported and was able to talk through my hopes and doubts with ease and she gave me confidence to take my next steps. I am a now a mother to a beautiful daughter. To have her was my life long goal.

— Stephanie Bennett

I was fortunate to meet Mariel at a very challenging time in my life.
Through Mariel’s insightful perspectives and mind shifting thoughts, I have been able to overcome many challenges that I once considered to be insurmountable.
Without doubt, tremendous change and positivity has been achieved in all aspects of my life as a result of working with Mariel.
I am so grateful to continue to have Mariel as a wonderful person in my life, helping me to continually move forward to become the best version of myself.

— Charlotte H

Mariel’s words always resonate with me as if she is in my head and part of my everyday life. Having her as my coach has been an absolute gift, especially as I don’t live in the UK. I had my doubts about online coaching on which Mariel proved me wrong after our first session.
Her dedication, passion and 100% attention is so rare these days. If you ever have the chance to connect with her whether for coaching or yoga, you will agree with me on every single points mentioned above.
The community she built is a real reflection of how dedicated and passionate she is about what she does.

— Hajni Forgacs

As a coach, Mariel is fully present and fully committed to her clients. As her coachee, I instantly felt 'seen' and valued. Mariel has a calming yet powerful energy that she brings to her sessions: ushering me into a playful curiosity where I uncovered new insights, yet calling me out when I was playing small. When I asked her to, she also drew on her yoga training to help me tap into my embodied emotions, calm my mind and access my inner strength. I highly recommend Mariel as a coach.
