Hi, I’m Marni.

Executive coach. Board-certified health coach. Strategic consultant.

For over twenty years, I built a successful career as a music industry executive and entrepreneur. Now, I help high-performing, passion-driven professionals stay ambitious, and also healthy — so they can do what they love without burning out.

Future Present was born out of countless conversations I’ve had with clients about the tension between staying grounded in the now and building what’s next. It’s about finding power in that space — where the choices you make today shape the version of you you’re becoming. Where presence fuels progress. Where clarity in the current moment lays the foundation for what’s ahead.

How I Got Here

I began my career as a performer — acting, singing, dancing, auditioning, touring. At some point, an interest in working behind the scenes combined with my lifelong love of music brought me into the music industry.

After starting out in artist management and on the label side, I launched Sneak Attack Media, a digital marketing agency working with artists, labels and brands. It grew fast and 12 years later was acquired by The Syndicate, where I headed up the digital marketing department.

But, let’s back up a sec…

About six years into running my company, I hit a wall of burnout. We’re talking no sleep, no appetite, sky-high irritability, pit-in-the-stomach dread, joy missing in action…the works. My nervous system was fried, and I had zero tools to fix it. That wake-up call changed everything. I rebuilt from the inside out, learned what real resilience looks like and decided to begin training to help others struggling with what nearly took me down.

Present Tense

Ten years (and many more certifications and clients) later, I now coach creatives, executives, founders and music industry professionals who are done running on fumes and tired of feeling stuck in survival mode.

We work together to beat burnout, break old behavior patterns, build new healthy habits, sharpen leadership and communication skills and create real transformative change — not just in their work, but in how they feel every day.

Why I’m Your Secret Weapon

I’ve been where you are and I know what life is like when you know you can't keep going as you are, but you're not sure what do do about it.

I bring two decades of experience from all angles — alongside deep training in coaching, leadership, behavior change, integrative wellness, applied neuroscience and nervous system regulation — to help you build a version of success that’s actually sustainable.

My approach blends mindset work, professional development, strategic clarity and wellness practices with tangible tools — one of which is a pattern-recognition framework that lets us cut to the chase what’s really driving your behavior, so you can take out the guesswork, get unstuck faster and move forward with way more precision.

How Your Email Finds Me

More than likely, at my home in Brooklyn, with my husband and our Boston Terrier, Audrey (who says hello). When I’m not working, I’m probably in the kitchen messing with a new recipe, at the farmers market gazing lovingly at vegetables, in a dance class, reading a book, at a show or learning something new.
