“Deb’s guidance & wisdom over the past couple years have tremendously helped in my healing of trauma and finding peace...

Her teaching and modeling of self-compassion have become life savers for me. I’d highly recommend Deb whether in finding healing from grief and trauma, if looking for mindfulness techniques, or if you’re in need of time to simply be.”

“I wasn’t sure I could go through this difficult grieving process. But Deb made me feel so comfortable and safe.

I shared things with her I’ve never told anyone.  She helped me see myself, really see myself, in a more positive way and I was able to see I didn’t have to be perfect.  I will be forever changed and so very thankful I worked with Deb!”

“My many sessions with Deb always left me feeling renewed, inspired, hopeful and more spiritually alive.

I will always be grateful to her for guiding me, in her gentle way, to leading a more aware, creative and fulfilling life.”

“Deb’s grief recovery sessions have been invaluable to me.

I didn’t think I would be interested in some practices, but I have incorporated them into my daily routine and have found them very beneficial. Some practices, like Remembrance Time, I took to right away.

The collages and other art activities were so helpful in several ways. Aside from helping me, I shared them with my family and I believe it has helped them heal, as well.”

“I have had lots of therapy over the years, and nothing quite compared to my MARI work with Deb.

I came away with a deeper understanding of myself and new ways to move forward in my life. I would highly recommend this therapeutic tool to anyone interested in breaking free of the mind and discovering their true self. 

Deb has the gift of deep listening, and you know when you are with her that you have her full attention. She is kind, patient and confident, and her wisdom and natural intuition help clarify the findings to illuminate lifelong patterns and past and present issues.”

~ Julia V., MARI

“MARI is a rich, complex and illuminating process made all the more impactful by Deb's sensitive and insightful guidance…

While we were doing the process remotely on screen, I felt as if I was on a retreat!  I would highly recommend MARI as a path for growth in a very positive, powerful way.  I would also recommend Deb as she’s a gifted and caring teacher.”

~ Amy B., educator

“I found the whole MARI experience fascinating, insightful, fertile, fun, enriching, expansive, and thought provoking…

Deb was a calm and grounded presence throughout.  I am grateful for her patient, succinct explanations and clarity. She really created a space where I felt it was okay to receive the knowledge meant for me in this place and at this time in my life…Thank you so much Deb!”
