Testimonials

I have been working with Marram for 15 months, and I can say that she has helped me discover myself and my life as I want it to be. We have done a lot of work around anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-love and thanks to my work with her, I am finally healing from my childhood trauma and past abusive relationships. She has a very calm, comforting and non-judgmental presence that has made me feel very safe and cared for. On top of numerous skills, she has an uncanny ability to tap into what is going on beneath the surface…a really rare gift. Without my work with her, I would not be leading the happy and fulfilling life that I am now. I believe that she really leads with the heart and am certain that her work comes from a place of acceptance and love. I couldn’t have found anyone more caring or professional to help along in this journey.

I have been working with Marram for over a year and the experience has been truly life changing. Every session is different and we use a variety of modalities to work through my personal challenges. My favorite activities have included a combination of talk therapy, Reiki, tapping, and DBT. Our work has been effective both in person and long distance over the phone. Marram is very smart, insightful and a true professional.

At the point of writing this, I’ve been seeing Marram for about 6 months. I had been wanting and needing help for a few years and I was finally tired of waiting. I was tired of feeling overwhelmed and feeling inadequate. Through seeing Marram, I’ve been able to find ….. me! I’ve been able to start peeling away those layers of hurt and fear from my past. Being able to know and trust my own inner voice is a gift that I get to open over and over. I get to have a relationship with myself. I didn’t know how much I was missing.

Working with Marram has been grounding and uplifting in so many ways. She has given me tools to deal with depression, helped me identify patterns in seemingly disparate areas of my life, and held space for me as I navigate the mundane and complex challenges of being human. Marram’s integration of western and eastern philosophies, and open, welcoming, non-judgmental energy creates a space in which I feel seen, and can cultivate mindfulness and inner calm on a deep level.

As a professional energy healer, I regularly deal with clients with spiritual concerns. Very often, no single modality is optimal for restoring health and balance. I recommend Marram for anyone suffering from an energetic or spiritual crisis, or needing guidance with issues related to awakening or Kundalini and seeking a therapeutic approach to healing. She combines an understanding of Eastern wisdom around the subtle body with the practical training of a Western therapist.

So, let me start by saying that therapy was something I was never going to do, or better yet need to do. Therapy was for other people. Therapy was for people with “issues”, and that wasn’t me. Then I ended up going through an extreme emotional trauma, and guess what, I had “issues”.
The emotional trauma that I personally experienced left me in a place where I struggled to function in daily life as a normal person. I still went to work. I went through daily activities like a normal person would, but every day was a struggle just to survive and get through the day.

Realizing I needed help I sought out a therapist. Marram was not the first therapist I went to. My first therapist was a great listener, and working with them at least let me know I was not crazy for feeling the way I did. The sessions with them helped me hold on to something and give me some stability, but once I started seeing Marram the healing truly began.

In the first session with Marram I immediately felt safe. That was huge for me. At the time I didn’t feel safe hardly anywhere. My anxiety level at the time was through the roof, and just the physical environment of her practice alone made me feel like I had a safe and secure place to be. At the time I felt lost and afraid. The first thing Marram helped me with was finding strength in myself to pull myself back together again. I was in pieces, and she gave me the tools to build myself back up. Where I feel other therapists might listen, might make suggestions of what to do in particular situations, Marram gave me homework to do and legit exercises and practices to build up my mental health. Slowly but steadily we started bringing me back to a baseline of “normal”. Once feeling normal I could start to process my emotions, my pain, and deal with this new reality that I now had to face. Once again the safe environment she provided through the physical space of her practice, how we worked in our sessions, and also just the person she genuinely is, allowed me to start the emotional recovery. Marram has helped me through a lot of emotional baggage freeing me up to start living a normal life again. She has also helped me realize things about myself that no friends or family members, no matter how close, have ever been able to point out to me. I feel extremely fortunate to have found Marram. She has helped me through the darkest part of my life, provided me with the tools to help myself out, and is still opening my eyes to things about myself that I was not aware of.

I’ve been seeing Marram for almost a year now.  I started with her right after I relapsed in my addiction.  I came back from that relapse in a very dark place. Some of my first words to her being “I want you to teach me how to sit life out on the sidelines, I tap out.”  Fast forward almost a year, and that is not at all what is happening.

Working with Marram has been rewarding.  She creates an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and encouragement that allows me to explore “me”, often guided by her key phrases “Lets sit with that for a minute” and “Where do you feel that?”.

Marram doesn’t let me skip over things that need to be reviewed or addressed.  Sometimes these things are parts of myself I’d rather not focus on or I was even aware existed.  This can be uncomfortable, and at times painful, however, the rewards are well worth it.

This work has allowed me to begin the process of healing that needs to happen during recovery.  The tools I’ve learned in her office have helped me to feel comfortable with me again, although I think more accurately, for the first time ever.
