“This work has changed my life, I have felt able to go deeper than ever before. I am no longer just surviving, I can see things beyond my childhood trauma. Thank you. ”
“Marcella came into my life when I was in a fragile state. Unlike other specialists I had reached out to, Marcella made me feel safe instantly. Our work together focused on defining what I wanted for myself and identifying what stood in the way. Our sessions were unhurried, calm, and left me feeling grounded. Marcella’s gentle approach and deep understanding of trauma enabled me to navigate through my past experiences and complex emotions safely. It felt liberating. As my awareness on how trauma manifests itself in my life continued to grow, so did my ability to cope with the overwhelming emotions it brought up. I will forever be grateful to Marcella for her support.”
“Marcella was brilliant. She gave me some much needed space to heal after a traumatic birth and reconnect again. Her words were thoughtful and resonant and the body work was very peaceful. A really good experience.”
“Marcella made me feel safe to explore areas of my past in a way that no other therapist has. She is professional, personable and highly skilled.”
“My sessions with Marcella were really powerful. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Marcella provides an incredibly calm environment that feels safe and nurturing. The treatment itself was extremely effective at unlocking emotional and physical tension and I felt hugely different afterword, more peaceful, relaxed and able to deal with things that were going on.”
“Marcella is a kind, compassionate therapist. She cares deeply and is able to listen. she is accepting of all sides a client brings. She trusts that we all have a capacity to heal. I am grateful for the work we continue to do together.”
“Thank you so much for a profound and beautiful experience at the workshop, your heart felt as if it received mine fully and it has felt heard perhaps for the first time and open ever since. xI will always be grateful to you for that.”
“When Marcella spoke it was like her heart was the size of the room and we were all welcomed in.”
“Marcella is an incredibly intuitive practitioner, she is full of care, passion and integrity that moves from the heart. Her retreats are real, provocative, and creative. A gift to all women in all stages of life. Except to laugh, cry, feel uncomfortable and also rest in deep assuring peace.”
“I would highly recommend working with Marcella and in particular her use of the NARM technique. After several years trying to work on my developmental childhood trauma, 12 sessions with Marcella completely turned things around. Not only did she provide a supportive space to explore issues without judgment, but she gave me the tools to begin to hold and transform them myself so that the good feeling lasted beyond the therapy room and I was able to make lasting changes to my life. Before this I spent a lot of time and money on therapists to be a listening ear to my hurts each week, but ultimately never shifting from the same habits that kept me locked into childhood insecurities. Marcella shone a light on these problem patterns and every single session was focused and productive. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“ I didn’t go to therapy for a specific reason but more out of inquisitiveness and to see how the work she does may benefit my emotional, physical and mental health. I was bowled over by the effects the treatments had upon me. Physically the sessions left me feeling rejuvenated, restored and resourced. Emotionally I felt more connected to parts of myself from which I had been disconnected or wasn’t aware of., and this obviously had a hugely positive effect on my mental health. I would highly recommend Marcella to anyone who wishes to reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way. ”
“My impression is that you are and intuitive therapist who is skilled at creating space in which someone like my daughter, who is a younger teenager learning how to interact in the adult world, can tentatively express herself safely. she says you are a really nice person. She doesn’t gush. Thank you.”
“Marcella was recommended to me by my previous therapist, who no longer felt she could help me with as I struggled with dissociation. Marcella has a way of making you feel safe and has helped me so much with her unique approach. I’m so glad to have found her.”
“This therapy isn’t like anything else. It has been a spiritual and emotional experience. Marcella is professional, warm, intuitive. She knew what I felt and how to help me bare it, It has been hard work, but I trust Marcella, I can feel she is here with me through it. ”
“After working with multiple therapists, Marcella is the first I have been able to trust. Marcella is able to remain calm and in connection even when there is distress and trauma in the field. I feel less stuck, less scared, and less bound by my early trauma. I finally feel free. I am very grateful for the work we continue to do together”
“Marcella created an open, honest, supportive environment in which we worked. I was able to navigate and reconsider some elements of my past, and my current behaviours, in a healthy, constructive and more meaningful way, and to identify strategies I was still using that no longer served me. Marcella’s warmth, care, attentiveness and skilful insight encouraged me to think differently and challenge my long held beliefs. She held a safe space for me in which I was able to explore my motivations and needs; whilst always focussing on prioritising my own well-being and moving forward positively in several areas of my life. I would work with Marcella again in a heartbeat.””
“I was referred to Marcella after being diagnosed with Complex Trauma. If I’m honest I felt pretty hopeless, I had felt really let down by therapists in the past and by healthcare professionals more generally. As well has having trauma symptoms I also struggled with chronic health conditions linked to my trauma. Me and Marcella worked together for several years. She is the first person I have learned to trust, she was honest and human and wasn’t afraid of my shadowy parts. She challenged me but also somehow felt like we were on the same team. Over time a lot of my life has changed, I don’t feel broken anymore, I am not sure what my life would be like if I hadn’t done with work. I would recommend Marcella to anyone!”
“Marcella has changed my life. She has taught me how to relate to myself with true gentleness; that complex trauma’s antidote is gentleness. Through my work with Marcella I have discovered a resource within me that I can rely on to navigate my life. I came to Marcella after a breakdown. I had acute anxiety, unable to make basic decisions and live my life. After consistent weekly work, I have found my ground. I feel safer to author and follow the process of life; to grieve losses and welcome renewal as it comes. Marcella is committed, respectful, abundantly kind and real. She has been a profound support through the most difficult time of my life and helped me find trust & joy in myself again. ”
