Marie brings over 15 years of experience coaching, training, inspiring, and motivating others with a deep passion for helping individuals create the life of their dreams. Through her own journey of 25+ years of personal and professional development, Marie created a unique journaling process called The Nautilus Way, Write Your Way to Your Best Life™. Using this simple yet effective writing process, Marie helps her clients process grief, trauma, and unresolved emotions. She guides them to seek, understand, unravel, and rewire the hidden beliefs and fears that prevent them from achieving all they want to do, be, and have in their lives. 

Marie grew up impoverished in a small rural town in South Louisiana with her mother and three siblings. Life was not easy and guidance was scarce. When she became a young, single-mother herself, she raised her two children and worked full time while simultaneously studying psychology, specializing in human behavior and the mind-body connection. As a result of the work Marie put into her own healing, growth, and development, she was able to overcome the adversity of her circumstances and find her way into an abundant and joyous life. As a successful business owner, a certified health and wellness coach, an accomplished author, and a relatable facilitator, Marie has helped countless clients gain clarity and confidence in finding their own answers.

Marie delivers her workshops and retreats with compassion, enthusiasm, and humor. Participants connect, collaborate, and gain confidence through the process while overcoming obstacles and relinquishing fear. She is confident that anyone who is willing to do the work can identify and rewire their limiting beliefs, and go on to create their most fulfilling authentic life. 

Marie’s first novel, Even When… She Rose, was recently published and quickly became a best seller.

She has a passion for life, travel, creative hobbies, and most importantly helping others. She finds peace and inspiration at the beach and enjoys facilitating personal development retreats at the home she and her husband built on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Marie is available for speaking engagements, individual and group coaching, and personal development workshops.
