About

Hello, I’m Margery.

A few years ago, my life uprooted itself.

I was working as a lawyer, and I was stressed, burnt out, and unfulfilled. Then, one afternoon, during a powerful group session, it dawned on me: My life wasn’t mine.

It was the construct of other people’s wants and desires, and I’d apparently abandoned my own a long time ago. A revolution started: I quit my job, left behind my lawyer-status and comfy lifestyle, and began working on my strongest subconscious belief: I’m not good enough. I met guilt, shame, unworthiness, confusion, hopelessness, and more.

And then, I found some medicine. Two practices – questioning my subconscious beliefs and fully feeling my feelings. From these I experienced a freedom beyond the limiting stories of the mind.

I’m devoted to this path and feel called to share it. So here I am, bringing to you my warmth, empathy, inner experience, and training in counselling, psychology, yoga, and meditation, to support you on your journey. That is, towards a life that is peaceful, fulfilling, and your own.
