"Marlena's Body Centered Coaching program is a powerful add-on for any Coach Toolkit. Her book, and the tools she covers during the program, add an important element and depth to any work coaches do with individuals, as well as teams and groups. The body is an incredible rich source of information for our clients, and through discussion and demonstrations, the Body Centered Coaching model is brought to life throughout the calls. Thank you Marlena for such a rich learning experience."

"Marlena is amazing! She knows how to dance in the moment gracefully and she demonstrates care and patience in working with clients. She showed me how important it is to stay with the client a little longer - to stay with the issue just a little longer -with just one more question and one more."

I have participated in several classes with Marlena and always come away feeling inspired, energized, enlightened and excited.  I love her example of quiet, calm acceptance and the supportive atmosphere she creates. As a coach I always want to embody those qualities and she demonstrates it so beautifully.  The Body Centered Coaching techniques are amazing and so powerful.  I look forward to more opportunities to expand my knowledge and grasp of Body Centered Coaching to enhance my effectiveness with my clients.

As a counsellor and coach, I found Marlena's Body-Centered Coaching workshop to be invaluable.

Marlena's experience and skills as a Hakomi Trained Therapist and her training as a Co-Active Coach offer a unique blend that has resulted in a powerful methodology with application to a variety of disciplines in the helping professions.

Using the body as a source of information for change requires stillness. Marlena's personal style is gentle, humorous and patient. She conveys a sense of calm rather than urgency providing a consistent role model for her work.

I was particularly impressed with her impeccable sense of timing. She listens deeply to her clients needs and has the ability to motivate and inspire people in the direction of their own potential with insightful and sometimes provocative probes. She does not impose or direct but rather guides and facilitates change.

Marlena trusts her client's inner knowing and gently moves them to a place where they can trust that place within themselves.

I like the integrity her work conveys.

Marlena's Body-Centered Coaching demonstrations are a very powerful way to experience where our emotions live in your bodies and how we can consciously chose to change negative emotions and instead anchor more positive and beneficial ones for ourselves. I was amazed at how quickly my energy shifted from feeling anxious and powerless to powerful and peaceful.

I was searching for a way to add more depth to my coaching, these techniques have allowed my clients to take deeper dives than I had imagined. I have been working with a client group for over 3 years; I used one of the techniques and watched two of the team members connect at a level even they were surprised by.

Working with Marlena and a team of coaches and watching the process unfold through the live demonstrations is an exceptional "real life" learning experience. As a coach, I was able to learn about the principles, see them in practice, take them back to my clients and then watch as they began to access their own bodies as a new, deeper source of information. My clients have been surprised by this new information they have and have moved forward into their own greatness as a result.

Body-Centered Coaching skills are essential for anyone who works with people in a coaching or therapeutic capacity. This course opened my eyes to a dramatically different way to access a person's wisdom. This approach allows the spaciousness the client needs to cut through to their truth easily.

Our body is an incredible source of information and wisdom - and most of us only tap the surface. This program teaches you a new language and new skills. Time after time I was blown away by the powerful impact as Marlena demonstrated the skills. Surprising new information became available when the body was included in the conversation. The possibilities are staggering. And in my deepest heart, I know this will take me to startling and unexpected new places.

It's difficult to truly describe the impact of mindful coaching with Marlena. Her ability to listen beyond the words, her skill to tune into the blocks, her insightful and light-hearted approach to coaching is to be experienced rather than talked about. Mindful coaching has been around for many centuries, trust yourself to take your next step supported by a mindful master called Marlena.

Marlena's book and teleclass offer profound but simple insights into the importance of mindfulness and deep listening in our lives and coaching. The wealth of information that our body can reveal to us and our clients is incredible. Marlena is a master at being able to tap into that reservoir of information. The learning for me came from witnessing her calm, patient, mindful approach to tapping the body's wisdom, always letting the client lead the journey and having complete trust in where that journey leads. This work has enriched my life and coaching.

Marlena makes body-centered coaching come alive by being very clear about the ideas and how to put them into practice Her passion for this style of coaching that connects to people at a deep level is very evident These skills are very valuable for all life coaches.

As a coach and healing touch practitioner, I just loved the way Marlena brought together these two ways of working with people. She has inspired me to continue to integrate more body work into my coaching, and more coaching into my energy work. I have never felt more genuine warmth and interest zooming along through the ether and out my telephone handset!!

Marlena and her work are true gifts to enhance any life coach's repertoire. I so treasure the opportunity to volunteer for the class demos. and benefit from her style and expertise. The techniques in Body-centered Coaching can truly take your client to a deeper understanding.

My favorite part of the teleclass is when Marlena does a coaching demonstration with one of our class members using the technique that we've been reading about and have discussed. When she coached me one night, I learned about some things that have never surfaced even though I've been coached on that topic many times. Since then I've been able to move forward--finally! My body knew!!

I know I couldn't have put to practice the things she talks about in her book without the learning that discussion brings, the opportunity to ask questions, and the practice demonstrations.

Marlena takes core coaching skills and elevates them to a graduate level with techniques that are practical and elegant. After experiencing the skills on the calls, I was able to apply them immediately with my clients. I now have tools to move clients out of there heads and into their hearts. It was a delight to witness such immediate and profound results.

Marlena's work goes far beyond the techniques. She creates magic in the softness of who she is -- the gentle steadiness of her support, her exceptional listening skills and the spaciousness she creates. I doubt a text can teach that. Thank you Marlena!

Marlena's classes have been a source of understanding and clarity about body, mind and spirit coaching for me. She is master in this area and has taught me how to listen to my body in a way that I would never have considered before.

Thank you once again for your brilliant training. Your work is very powerful and I want more.

Marlena's gift is helping others to fully experience a connection with their bodies. And, as Marlena so adeptly demonstrates, it is within this connection to our bodies that so much can be discovered. Thank you for sharing your gift Marlena!

The chance to fully embody the learning of Marlena's Body-Centered Coaching techniques is not to be missed! These simple, yet profound methods will forever change the way you coach and have your clients moving more quickly towards their goals and tapping into their own intuitive wisdom.

Marlena really knows how to deeply but gently take a client into their experience via the body so that their own truth is revealed to them. She is masterful at 'being with' the client, and at holding and expanding their awareness of what their body is saying, until the answer or resolution emerges. If you coach well from your head, and want to learn how to help a client in a more profound way, this class will help you learn how to do that.

I'm excited about continuing this work that you have introduced into the coaching world. I'm seeing remarkable results with my ADDers with just the little bit of body-awareness coaching I've done.
