Testimonials
“Marni is a truly excellent creative coach. I started working with her to break free from the constant drag of stress, self-doubt and procrastination — a veritable witches’ brew preventing me from starting new creative projects, or finishing existing ones. Through our sessions, Marni introduced me to effective new techniques and visualizations, coupling them with a steady dose of validation and support along the way. It was highly effective. In fact, I’m now finishing a major creative work that’s been on my to-do list for years. I would absolutely recommend Marni to anyone stuck creatively, or those looking for an extra push from someone who knows that world well.”
Kenan P. | Marketing and Content Strategist
“When I started working with Marni, I was in what felt like a huge professional rut. I felt unhappy, unmotivated, and largely had lost the joy that my job once had brought me. I was looking for a way to access the confidence I once had, and I wanted to let go of the fear that was keeping me stagnant.
Our work together changed my thinking, and allowed me to get excited about the change that was happening, and look forward to my new strength on the other side. My confidence came back, which has allowed me to take chances that I never would have thought I was capable of.”
Aleena B. | Music Industry Executive
“Before I started working with Marni, I was really and truly a mess. I was completely overstimulated; over-functioning all day at work, absolutely depleted during leisure/family time, and was dealing with very disruptive sleep issues. Marni has helped me find a level of peace and clarity I would not have thought possible 6 months ago. The reason for the turnaround is simple; Marni is so damn good at her job. Apart from being smart, intuitive, and compassionate, she possesses a broad knowledge base from which she draws easy-to-follow solutions to anything thrown at her.”
David P. | Business Owner
“I came to Marni feeling like I could not disconnect from work and enjoy my life. It made me irritable and unpleasant to be around. I was worried that having to face the issue would heighten it, but I realized I needed to go through that, rather than distract myself from it, to actually make improvements and see change.
In our work, I learned the ability to zoom out, and I’m more able to move on from the perceived ‘bad work thoughts,’ acknowledge them and refocus my energy and attention to my family and life outside of work. Marni really helped me understand all the tools I have to draw from — I have implemented many of the techniques we worked on into my daily routine to navigate what would be otherwise uncomfortable scenarios with a more holistic viewpoint that allows me to pause and shift my perspective.
I am still a work in progress, and as Marni reminds me regularly, that is okay! But I have achieved my goal of having a ‘whole life.’ An unexpected benefit was not only appreciating my personal life more, but my work more as well. A whole life means enjoying all of it.
I absolutely recommend working with Marni. This program has been life changing for me and a pivotal shift in my perspective on work and wellness — I know it will have a lasting impact.”
Carmon R. | Interior Design Project Manager
“We engaged Marni to join our entire Page 1 team, initially one-on-one, then as a company. Marni’s ability to help the team understand their own strengths, emotions, and highlight areas where we could all work on ourselves as individuals to benefit the whole team was incredible. Without question we will be working with Marni ongoing.”
Ashley Page | Owner, Page 1 Management
“Working with Marni was a transformative experience. I knew what I wanted to accomplish and had most of the pieces, but needed help coming up with a tangible plan to make it happen. Marni made the program entirely custom which made all the difference in sticking with it and seeing results.”
Jason F. | Music Industry Executive
“Working with Marni helped me get out of my own way. I was deep in job search burnout — second-guessing everything, stuck in negative thought loops, and avoiding the things I knew I should be doing (like networking) because they felt so emotionally loaded. Marni helped me unpack what was really going on and build practical tools that made it easier to take action. She didn’t just help me ‘feel better’ — she helped me move forward with more clarity, consistency, and self-trust. If you’re looking for a coach who brings real strategy and real support — Marni’s the one.”
Melanie R. | Marketing Consultant
“Marni facilitated a transformative session for our GTM team at DISCO during our offsite, focusing on team building, connectivity, and communication. Her ability to foster trust and engagement within the team was remarkable, leaving us more aligned and energized. I highly recommend Marni for any team looking to enhance collaboration and connection.”
Jen Oloo | Chief Revenue Officer, DISCO
“Working with Marni was so illuminating. The tips and tools she offered me were rooted, clear, and concise, and have been effectively helping me balance my health and countenance! She delivered information with a calming approach that I could truly receive; her energy was so supportive and she was so knowledgeable in her fields. It’s clear she wants her clients to thrive, and I certainly have been!”
Jocelyn M. | Musician
“When I first started working with Marni, I was struggling with insomnia and lack of concentration. Lack of quality sleep has been an ongoing issue and it was affecting my energy and focus during the day. Working through the pain points and creating a sleep regimen with Marni has worked wonders! I’m going to bed earlier and sleeping at least 7 hours now. I haven’t slept that long or as peacefully in years. My focus is much better and stress is much more manageable. Marni is phenomenal and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.”
Amanda M. | Entrepreneur
“I loved working with Marni, she helped walk me through many obstacles I was dealing with — trying to eat a more balanced diet, eating on-the-go and hacks around that, and making time to eat lunch itself during the work day. As we got further into our sessions, I started discussing and working through my time management issues, challenges with work and managing people, and trying to give myself space/grace with deep-seated family issues.
I was nervous to start to dive into everything (and was afraid to carve an hour out of my week to devote to just me!) but once we did, I felt much more grounded and in control. I have a much better mindset for tackling issues as they come up, managing stress, and definitely eating a more balanced diet to boot.
Highly recommend working with Marni!”
Melissa | Music Industry Executive
“While I help other people find a better work/life balance, I struggled with severe anxiety at the grocery store and often spent too much money eating out and eating the wrong things, causing my chronic Lyme disease to flare up more than I’d like. After going through the program, I now have the tools and knowledge I need to stay consistent with healthier eating and exercise to keep my symptoms at bay AND save myself money. It’s been over 3 months since finishing the program, and even during times of grief and immense life changes, I have been able to stay consistent in my daily movement, decrease panic attacks, and eat better on the fly rather than resort to unhealthy, self-sabotaging behaviors that would (in the past) land me on months of expensive medications and bed rest.”
Suz F. | Music Industry Therapist
“Marni is wonderful to work with. She led a virtual session with over 30 art service workers on holistic health and wellness. Her presence put everyone at ease and she made it easy for us to get energized for the topic. She gave us a thoughtful big picture understanding of the discipline. She provided examples and trends she’s observed, including how to best set a culture of holistic health in an organization. And she gave us practical tools for holistic stress management and preventing burnout, for ourselves, the teams we lead, and the artists and companies that we serve through our memberships. We came away with an increased understanding, tangible tools, and energy and excitement to focus on bringing the work into our own lives.”
Sean McManus | Executive Director, Manitoba Music
“Marni is someone I've known in the music industry and saw how her career shifted from helping her clients build their fan bases to helping them get into tip-top shape, mentally and physically. As a health coach, her awareness and ability to ask the right questions helped me realize what was causing my stress and how it affected my energy. We came up with a plan to align myself and it never felt cookie cutter — the program was completely customized. It’s hard to look at yourself with a critical eye and ask for help, but Marni makes that process easy and you come out on top at the end.”
Tom M. | Marketing Executive
“Through Marni’s coaching, I was able to develop a healthier system that helped me to motivate myself and incorporate exercise, so that I could be my best self when it came to dealing with my high cholesterol and stress. I was able to manage my high cholesterol better, work on lowering it, and even find healthier alternatives to my regular meals.
Using some of Marni’s recommended sleep suggestions, I was able to finally find a deep, restful 8 hours of sleep. My body feels less lethargic and “heavy,” and she was also able to give me techniques to deal with mental stress and to combat rumination.”
