With my Chinese Face Reading my eyes were opened to my features and how to appreciate them. I can remember being made fun of for having big ear lobes. Well according to Marianne, those earlobes are my reservoir and are a very good sign. Oh, and those thick eyebrows that I refer to as catapillars, they are one of my best features. They show that I can take charge and come up with a plan. I see what my inner strengths are and what emotions I need to work on. As said by Marianne “wrinkles are marks of expression”. May we all learn to love our wrinkles!

Amy Love, Owner of Real Food Whole Health

Marianne has an uncanny ability to gain deep insight into core issues and lead you through the labyrinth with compassion and grace. She has a treasure chest of techniques and skills to pull from and it’s always just the right thing at the right time. In short, Marianne is a gem and I highly recommend working with her!

Beth Bogren, Proprietor at All Roads Apothecary

I had a Chinese Face Reading with Marianne and what I learned is that my face tells my story. I've thought about Botox and dyeing my hair but this is me! This is where I've been and I need to trust that I am this strong person, I do have this intuition and I am on my right my path.

Carrie Michele Myers, Owner of AuthenticallyYOU with CarrieMichele Coaching

If you’re looking for a practitioner with amazing intuition and the ability to balance energy, Marianne is your girl. She helped me prioritize and organize and get out of my own head. You can tell Marianne sincerely cares about your wellbeing and I can’t thank her enough for helping to get me back on track.

Chelsea Quint, Coach and Intuitive Lifestyle Editor

Chinese Face Reading is such a great tool for getting the confirmation and validation we sometimes crave that we’ve been affected by our pasts, but we get to choose how we move forward. I loved that it integrates the physical body with the emotional and spiritual bodies - so cool to see, and working with Marianne I was amazed by how intuitive this work feels.

Cheryl Gentry, Vice President | ILFS Sales Support at One America

This has been a great experience and well worth the investment. I was at a plateau with regard to weight loss and didn’t understand why. Marianne helped me identify how much sugar intake I had in my diet, even though I was watching my calorie count, and gave us amazing menu alternatives that really don’t make you miss sugar at all.

Danielle Marsh, Vice President | Marketing at OneAmerica

I truly enjoyed and learned from Marianne’s How to Kick the Sugar Habit weekly interactive program! I have read articles and watched programs that explain ‘why’ sugar has negative impacts on the body, but I didn’t have the tools or process to put that into practical application. Marianne was able to put the ‘how’ into a fun, accessible – and delicious format.

Dr. Lindsey Dietrich, Owner and Chiropractor of Essential Practice

I left our Chinese Face Reading session feeling more comforted and confident that I am the person that I am for a good reason. The awareness I already had of myself (the things I love and the things I'm working on) were held in the lines+structure+color of my face. Thank you Marianne.

Emily Benson, Owner at Stylish and Successful

I had a Chinese Face Reading with Marianne and I really like the idea that I have everything inside of me that I need. There are very small changes I can make, like being more open to receiving. My biggest thing is being conscious of where I put my energy and figure out a balance now for what's coming in my life.

Katie Maxwell, Freelance Writer and Editor

I have been working with Marianne for about two and a half years and she has improved my daily life immensely. My life has infinitely improved since working with Marianne and I can't imagine my life without her light in it!

Marielle Arix, Holistic Wellbeing & Beauty Therapist at Anamaya

Marianne has been an incredible coach to me. The biggies we have worked on like self confidence and me being “fully me” have created huge shifts. Her techniques have helped rewire my brain and let go of past limiting beliefs that I’ve had forever. The result is that I feel more calm, more grounded, more trusting in myself and life. I know I have the inner resources to handle everything that will come up in my life. Thank you so much Marianne, I’m so grateful!

Stephanie Rochelle, Self Love Coach

I just had a Chinese Face Reading with Marianne and the entire process is really cool. She was spot on. The more I speak about my life, the more I value and appreciate the warrior I truly am. If you do receive a reading, be open to you blossoming even more in your life. I think so many times people, especially woman, look at our features and see lines, crows feet or bags, rather than looking at what they truly mean. I've recently been seeing a few lines or hyper-pigemention on my face that I don't like, but accept knowing the tell my story. Well now I appreciate them more, because I know the story.

Laura Kelly, Grieve Now

Marianne is a kind, compassionate person that deeply cares for her clients and the people surrounding her. She is providing a beautiful gift to the world by sharing her expert knowledge. I had a Chinese Face Reading and was amazed by what Marianne told me about my features on my face. She showed me that the features I wasn't too fond of were actually serving a purpose about my journey I have been on. I have thought about getting botox done at some point but now I feel like there is no need to because our faces are beautiful with our lines & creases. I would absolutely recommend Mariannes face reading to anyone who wants to learn more about the story their faces tell. She is a bright light that when you start talking to her you start to fill up with energy, confidence, and feel at ease.

Hema Nair, Spiritual Wellness Coach

Marianne is insightful and thoughtful. She was able to accurately describe my character traits, talents and tendencies as well as giving me insights into potential possibilities for me to explore in my future endeavours. Marianne explained the meaning of certain features of mine which enabled me to have a deeper appreciation for myself and to have love for what I often perceived as flaws. She is warm and welcoming in her approach and a delight to talk to!
