As I approach the milestone of 10 years as a mindfulness trainer, I reflect on the incredible journey that began between the birth of my first and second daughters. Motherhood has been one of my greatest teachers in mindfulness, showing me the importance of slowing down, nurturing life, and being fully present. It deepened my understanding of how essential it is to contribute to a brighter future—one that can only exist with a healed, evolved, and awakened human presence.

These years have been a profound exploration of transformation, not only for myself but also for the many individuals who have trusted me with their mindfulness practice. Together, we’ve cultivated moments of deep connection, compassion, and self-awareness, creating a ripple effect that touches the lives of others. Every session, every interaction has enriched my understanding of the power of presence and the transformative capacity within each of us.

I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me and the incredible experiences we’ve shared. From those just beginning their journey to those who’ve continued with me, I’ve witnessed firsthand how mindfulness can spark change, bringing more kindness, trust, and compassion into the world. The testimonials below reflect just a few of the many ways this work has touched lives and helped individuals grow.

Mindfulness awakens our consciousness by grounding us in the present moment, fostering clarity and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It invites us to shift from reactive patterns to conscious living, nurturing individual and collective growth. As we cultivate presence, we contribute to the broader human evolution, reconnecting with our true essence and cultivating a compassionate way of living. Mindfulness paves the way for a healed humanity, allowing us to thrive rather than struggle, creating a world where we live in harmony with ourselves, others, and the planet.

I recently did Marjorie’s 8-week MBSR course and would highly recommend it. Marjorie’s authenticity created such a welcoming space, and her ability to lead a group in inward exploration and outward connection made for an experience that I am greatly appreciative of. I look forward to further deepening my mindfulness practice through sessions and activities led/organized by Marjorie.

Marjorie is a very kind and calm mindfulness teacher. She puts a lot of love into her work, and it’s very clear she cares a lot about each of her students. She truly takes the time to listen to everybody, and I could always turn to her if I had any questions or concerns, which I found very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend Marjorie to anyone wanting to explore the world of mindfulness!

I was following Marjorie’s mindfulness course in early 2021. Due to Covid, this was mostly done online. It worked for me! I appreciate very much Marjorie’s style, which guided me very well into the world of mindfulness. I had no experience before and was lucky to have Marjorie as my teacher. Could not imagine a better teacher for my first steps into this fantastic experience.

Whether you already have a daily meditation practice or have no clue how to start, Marjorie is the perfect person to awaken all your senses again and make you realize that your life is beautiful and that accepting the challenging aspects is also part of life. She has this natural calmness and warm heart that makes you feel safe within minutes. The 8-week course was the perfect timing for me to digest the information and practice at home as well.

I’m grateful to be part of this 8-week Mindful Based Stress Reduction Course guided by Marjorie. This course helped me to go beyond thinking by having the awareness to fully live in the present moment, embracing what is here now. The beauty of non-doing and simply being the being we are brings so much clarity and balance. Self-compassion meditation brings so much healing and power. I highly recommend this course to everyone to help nurture your mind & well-being. Marjorie is one of the best mindfulness mentors to guide you. She is approachable and has a very calm energy that is soothing to the mind and soul.

My mindfulness course with Marjorie was life-changing. I had the chance to really understand mindfulness and the power of meditation. Meditation is finally part of my life after so many unsuccessful tries. Highly recommended for anyone looking to slow down and start living life as it was meant to be lived 🙂

Anne Gélébart
Marjorie is an amazing mindfulness teacher. I followed her 8-week MBSR program in 2017, and I loved her kind and comprehensive approach. Marjorie is open-minded and very curious. I highly recommend following her courses because she is competent, can explain complex things in a simple manner, and is passionate about her work.

Natalia Doroshenko
Marjorie’s mindfulness meditation course not only helped me overcome the hardships and enormous stress caused by the war in my country (Ukraine), but also had a transformative effect on my entire life. Marjorie always radiates love, and that’s what makes her sessions so special. You feel totally safe, accepted, and loved during the session, and it stays with you after. To add that she has a magic voice, it makes the practices even more pleasant, effective, and healing! I continue the practices by myself with pleasure as they are now fixed in my mind and my body. Highly recommend!

Tika Kruse
If you are looking for an individual MBSR training, I can highly recommend working with Marjorie. Even for “matter-of-fact” people like I am (nuchtere mensen in Dutch), she had me at hello. 🙂 Marjorie is great to talk to, share experiences, and thoughts, and her voice is super calming, which is an added bonus for the wonderful meditations & exercises she leads you through. The sessions are connected to a workbook, which is easy to read and take in, and handy to discuss certain topics per session. All in all, I can highly recommend her!

Alina Vinogradova

Joining Marjorie’s MBSR course was an impulsive decision at a difficult moment in my life, when I knew I had to both work on accepting my situation and try to change some unhelpful behavioral patterns. I’m very glad I did, it gave me much needed headspace. Marjorie is a real professional, and also such a kind, open and empathetic person. She’s easy to connect with and to trust, and she has such a magnetic voice perfect for guided meditations. I started somewhat skeptical about the sitting meditations, but this course taught me to find comfort in it and truly appreciate the experience. And I really enjoyed learning about the theoretical foundations of mindfulness, both through the reading materials and the group discussions. It gave me food for thought, made me more conscious of my actions and reactions, and overall offered practical 21st-century guidance.

Romy Grotenhuis

Marjorie is very professional, a warm and lovely person and her voice is very soothing. I didn’t know what to expect at first but I am so glad I followed her course. We had 8 lessons in total including a day of practice. It does help if you have time at home to practise yourself with the audio you get and the workbook. The evenings and practice days flew by, it was never boring and the meditation was better than expected. I can say that after 8 weeks my mindset has been changed for the better. It’s very pleasant to experience the physical sensations and I definitely recommend everyone to follow a course with her. Even if you start sceptical, you will benefit from it. I hope to follow another course with Marjorie in the near future and work on myself!

David Rick

It was a real treat to experience the 8 week mindfulness course with the guidance of Marjorie! An eye and heart opening experience itself, Marjorie provided a professional and compassionate base to turn to. Catering towards a very diverse group of people is difficult, but she did a great job taking into consideration everyone’s thoughts, desires and struggles. If you have the chance to take a course or a session with Marjorie – do it!

Thank you so much for this wonderful experience Marjorie!  –

Hello, I would to share my experience with mindfulness training. It was coming to me via a very good friend who recognized that I’m in a transformation process! I went there with open mind but no expectations. And I must say that this course became the most impactful experience in my life so far. It was a revelation, opening my eyes and my mind for a new journey. Marjorie is the best tutor you can have. I was calming down just by simply seeing her or hearing her voice. We had a great group sharing different challenges and going on different paths, therefore a lot of added value. What I learnt landed very easily and created the safe journey for who I am today. All my friends, colleagues and my family are really noticing the new me. I recommend with all my heart this sessions and Marjorie as a guide for your future you. Although I’m not so disciplined as I would like, I must say once assimilated it will be always in you. The peace, the calm, the happiness! I hope all of you trying this will receive at least what I have got. Amazing experience!

I found Marjorie’s MBSR course last minute when I was going through a big restructure at work, lots of stress on every level for me and my team. I was lucky to get a spot and what has started in this course was the beginning of the biggest transformational journey of my life… I have continued every since with going deeper and have come sooo far since then with my personal development, thanks to Marjorie’s compassion, passion and skills she shared with each of us. She has helped me a lot on so many levels… forever grateful I met her at this stage of my life! Thank you! Love, Sabine

I’ve wanting to dig deeper into mindfulness for quite some time but ‘never had the time’. This 8-week course was just what I needed – more calmness, focus and time for myself. I learnt tools how to destress and making me more mindful of little daily things. I certainly have benefited and I think my family has too. Marjorie is a fantastic teacher and very knowledgeable.

Kim Brice

I followed a 8 week Mindfulness course led by Marjorie. I am not new to Mindfulness. When I took the course, I already had lots of meditation experience and I teach a sensory-based movement form which incorporates mindfulness i its technique. What is great about Marjorie is that her teachings are as pertinent to beginner’s as they are to people like me, who have more experience. She is experienced, clear, creates a supportive and trustful setting, and gives the space people need to share and explore, and to be where they are at in their learning process. I highly recommend her classes. Most importantly, she walks her talk. She knows what she is teaching, because she practices it and it is her life.

Enjoying every day from inside out and being less influenced by the dynamics outside oneself. This practical course of 8 weeks is a journey of learning how to implement mindfulness in the day to day life. It is a journey of becoming aware of your behavior, embrace it and change it when you consider it necessary. I recommended this experience to everyone I know. It is literally a lifechanging experience.

Thank you Marjorie for your kindness and inspiration!

Bea SilvaZegarra

I took the course with Marjorie, she is an excellent coach and open-hearted person, extremely sensitive to personal needs. She is very professional and at the same time a sweet person. I am very happy that I followed the course with her, and I would certainly recommend her course because it is very didactic and easy to follow. We only need to be consistent in order to attain the best of it. Thanks, Marjorie. It was really precious moments that I experienced in your course. Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Eser Yanat

Experiencing mindfulness is a great journey. If you are ready to do some radical changes in your life in a positive way, you are in the right place

I was ready to direct my life to a healthier way of living and I have met Marjorie. I was also contacting other trainers but Marjorie was so reliable and understanding that I cut the contact with others immediately

For me, it has really worked a lot. I was catastrophising the future, past mistakes was making me crazy, I couldn’t accept people or circumstances, I was often in the fighting mode, I couldn’t let go anything and a lot more. I realized that there is a program called mindfulness-based stress reduction and I am not alone in these struggles. Everything that was preventing me from enjoying life with my loved ones was addressed by this program. It was amazing for me to see that I was in the right place.

I am still in fighting mode when its necessary and still struggle occasionally with acceptance but  many of my unhelpful patterns are gone. I don’t bite my nails anymore, something I’d done for over 20 years!

So have a good luck, have faith in yourself and be kind to yourself. Marjorie will support you a lot in this.

Kate Bradbury

I recently did a Mindfulness course with Marjorie and it really turned my life in the direction I wanted. Before the course, I walked around feeling stressed. Even when I didn’t have any reason to be. I would get angry when the lights turned red. It was impacting my most precious relationships.

Doing the course was a venture to find out can I change this pattern. I found Marjorie and I’m so glad that I did. She was a fantastic coach along this very personal journey as I unravelled my life patterns. I felt completely supported and so comfortable to take this journey with her.

I think everyone would learn and benefit from the mindfulness lessons. I’m just so happy I learnt with Marjorie in her wonderful open heart.

Joel Sinnott  

Marjorie’s course was exceptional and I feel great about having a very strong knowledge and understanding of mindfulness and it’s theoretical framework and application. It’s a powerful set of tools to acquire and is making a huge difference to my daily routine and outlook.

Marjorie’s approach is patient, respectful and informative ensuring all members of the group have a voice and learn together in the best setting and environment.

The course is thoroughly recommended………
