My story

Hello,

I'm Marion

Growing up, I was that kid with an old soul, constantly overthinking everything. Despite my inner struggles, I was able to hide them behind a cheerful and adaptable exterior, easily navigating social situations and making others feel at ease... And yes, this was a great source of suffering... Crippling anxiety (although highly-functioning), lack of self-esteem, feeling like an imposter, harsh inner critic... Sprinkle a little bit of hyper-sensibility on top of that and the cocktail was a hard one to swallow.


So, over the years, I have dedicated myself to self-discovery and self-improvement, constantly seeking to better understand myself and to… just be myself. I have explored various paths of growth, starting with more self-help books and podcasts than I dare to admit, followed by therapy and formal education.


A trainer and a mentor for over 15 years.


Throughout my career, one thing remained constant: my focus on people. I have always been drawn to positions where I could train and mentor people. I have done so for about fifteen years and it has brought me so much joy and fulfilment.


In 2018, I felt the urge to delve deeper into helping people and I began volunteering for the Samaritans. I went on to study victimology at the University of Montreal and I became a certified trainer for best practices in men's mental health for the Ministry of Health and Social Services of Quebec. I worked with non-profit mental health organisations in both Canada and the UK where I am now permanently based.


I bring all that I have learned through my own journey, my studies, my career and my volunteering experience into my coaching practice and the Be Kind. Be Curious. journey.


I have offered support and guidance to many who were seeking growth and healing from stress and anxiety and I am looking forward to helping many more.

“The research literature has identified three factors that universally lead to stress: uncertainty, the lack of information and the loss of control.”

When the Body Says No

Be Kind.

Be Curious.

The beliefs behind the method.

Kindness

Kindness towards ourselves makes many of us cringe. Yet there are so many ways to be kind to others and ourselves. Which way will be yours?

Authenticity

We tend to grow up to fit society's expectations. This rarely aligns with our own values. Authenticity is key to start accepting who we are.

Curiosity

Curiosity is often easier than kindness. It's great news as this is at the center of it all. Let's gather data and discover who you truly are.

Judgment-Free

For many of us, the inner dialogue is harsh! We would never talk like this to any of our friends and yet... It takes tools and practice to stop.
