Marises's journey into becoming:​

a Human Relationships & Sustainable Leadership Specialist, practising under different hats in the following areas:

​

- Body-Mind Inner-Growth & Culture ReCoding, Community Building

- Workplace Wellbeing, Conscious Leadership, Global Inner Development Goals 

- Preconception to Parenthood Doula for families, couples

- Feminine Wisdom Specialist (women and girls over 10yrs)

​

Originally from sunny South Africa, she is a Human Relationships & Sustainable Leadership Specialist with super-powers as Body-mind & Relationship ReCoding Practitioner to transform hidden wounds & limiting Body-Mind Imprints for Inner-growth, Resilience and Relationships harmony (especially our relationship to Self). Guided dance as well as intuitive dance and movement form a key part of her healing work and she is also a Dancing for Birth Instructor as well as Latin dance enthusiast (think Bachata & Salsa!)

 

An initial 16 yr corporate career and rollercoaster ride into motherhood led to her reinvention and calling to the Inner Growth, Holistic Healing and Doula field, where over more than a decade, she empowered women, couples and organisations with their people-problems to thrive.​

 

As Preconception to Parenthood Doula, she trained in a host of skills to help couples and women birth the versions of themselves and their families, consciously, holistically, compassionately and sustainably. She loves working with couples already from Preconception as this is the space where the most value can be added, knowlege gaps filled and hidden body-mind story imprints cleared so generational trauma is not automatically, unconsciously passed on.

 

She also founded and for 7 years (from 2013 until covid) ran the Luxmama Club & Parent Prep asbl in Luxembourg, a not-for-profit organisation raising awareness for universal human rights in birth, perinatal mental health and sustainable parenting through funds raised by offering a variety of inspiring social and educational events for future/new parents. She developed trainings for the knowledge gaps new parents or parents-to-be faced and trained hundreds of parents during this time with excellent results.

As skilled science-based trainer and facilitator “who gets” the original Human Blueprint of Organic Intelligence, she’s now on a mission to rehumanise corporate culture for a sustainable future as Human Resience Specialist.

 

In 2023, as part of Sustainable Development Goals, the UN issued the Global Inner Development Goals (“IDG”), being the missing gap in making global progress.

 

The IDG Framework underpins the work Marise has been doing with couples and individuals. For over a decade, without having a clear roadmap - her mission was to support couples and individuals through all the inner obstacles and preconception to parenthood ups & downs and concluded that indeed, without inner change, outer change is not possible.

 

She trained in a variety of modalities to get to the root of what’s holding us back from thriving and was shocked to learn 1st-hand how often hidden Wounds & Body-Mind Story Imprints are the root of many personal & professional mental health challenges, and lack of resilience.

 

Passionate about the IDG’s for a sustainable future, she now combines all her resiliency skills to help Corporates save money sustainably by truly caring for their Top Talent (which include parents!) enabling people-centric Professional Growth, Wellbeing and increased Engagement in the Workplace.

 

When highly functioning, talented and busy professionals and leadership/executives are properly supported by their organisations to

develop their Inner Growth and attend to their hidden body-mind story imprints that hinder them personally and as a result also professionally, as well as a guide that can mentor and train them through the rollercoaster ride of Preconception to Parenthood, this group of Talent, feels recognised, valued and loyal to the organisation and as a result, more engaged, motivated, purposeful, innovative, resilient and able to perform at their peak.

 

She also passionately and playfully inspires women to sparkle their Feminine Power in Feminine Leadership through Feminine Embodiment and Wisdom that restores life force energy and juicy Oxytocin flow!

 

She is the author of “From Closet Wounds to Wisdom, A step-by-step couples roadmap to consciously surf the tsunami when the love of your (hetero) life says ‘Honey, I’m not straight’!”

and creator of the E-course “Rise above your Wounds - A life-altering 10-step ReCoding of early life and hidden wounds/imprints holding you back from shining!”
