Grounded in science and psychology combined with spiritual teachings
We go from your deepest shadows to your highest potential, desires and purpose
Real connection and understanding - with respect and on an eye-to-eye level
Hi, I am Marleen!
Welcome into my world
My passion
and vision
I am a certified hypnotherapist, workshop leader and trauma coach, and love guiding people out of survival, limiting patterns and developmental trauma.
Through my own path I got to deeply understand the human psyche, bodily symptoms, relationships, purpose and leadership. I don’t think we can be fully empowered without a mental and spiritual understanding of our traumas, symptoms and patterns – that’s why I love teaching the basic biology of our nervous system, developmental trauma and how it created our patterns in life, bringing it together with spiritual wisdom.
- I wish for everyone to live their full potential and own their power – only from that place can we create a healthier world
- I love to help people step into their leadership, because the world needs healthy leaders, healers and parents
I can guide you through your darkest shadows without judgment, because I have been there. There is nothing that can shock me or that you need to feel embarrassed about.

Dive deeper into my story
Why choose me as your mentor?
I know what it feels like to go through and create change in your life. I know how it feels like to struggle with self sabotage, unhelpful patterns, feeling small and powerless, while wanting to create a much bigger life with abundance, connection and purpose. I know what it feels like to struggle in relationships, to be scared of what everyone thinks of you and to doubt yourself and your truth. And I know how hard it can be to come out of your shell, embrace who you are, where you are right now and see your power.
I also know that there is a way for everyone to fulfill their desires and that there is no one truth or teaching that will get you there. I can help you find your way, like I’ve done it for myself and many others.
As a child I was shy and insecure, spending most of my time alone hoping not to be noticed. I was smart and got called a know-it-all, which made me feel like my very strengths made me unlovable. During my childhood I still had many passions, but they started to fade away as a teenager and I became much more focused on what would get me approval and attention, rather than joy.
I went through questionable relationships, looking for love, completely losing myself, my truth and violating my own boundaries. Many choices I’d made left me feeling ashamed of myself, because of being so far away from my actual truth.
I pursued a career as a professional musician and tried really hard to make this my purpose because I had talent (and it got me validation). Well, that’s not how purpose works – I had to learn that the hard way. Despite the fact that it wasn’t the right path, I learnt many valuable things about myself, about leadership and creative flow.
During that time I went deeply into developmental psychology and anything that could get me out of my eating disorder and continually worsening chronic fatigue, as well as my horrible stage fright and anxiety around people. There were weeks where I barely left my bed, trying to figure out what was wrong with me, feeling like I didn’t have any real passions.
What changed?
And why?
After I started healing I realised that I wanted so much more from life. Life didn’t feel worth it without experiencing abundance, the freedom to do what I wanted every day and being surrounded by deep connections.
I reclaimed my strengths which naturally aligned me with my purpose. I created a business that was suited to me and my needs. I allowed myself to step into leadership roles which taught me what healthy leadership looks like.
My relationships transformed, I let go of and welcomed new friends and partners into my life.
I am continuing to learn, heal and expand from an empowered place and with the awareness that I am not perfect and that I am at the same time.
I believe we all have the responsibility to heal and own our power to be better leaders, partners, friends and parents.
This starts by being better to ourselves and the first step could be to get someone to help you with that. Most of us didn't have perfect role models and because we are a relational species
- we can't do this alone.
WhereI am and
how I work today
Over the years i’ve worked with many people with all kinds of diagnoses and life circumstances. I experienced the most joy working with clients with big desires (and blocks), coaches, leaders and entrepreneurs.
I’ve held workshops in music conservatoires and still love working with musicians and artists, as I do understand their world very well.
I am open to everything that you bring, share my knowledge with you, answer your questions and offer guidance and clarity. Whatever issue you bring, we will get to the root of it.
I am the person that can walk with you on your path, understand you and give you the guidance you need, while you become independent in your healing.
I supervise and work alongside other coaches to create bigger things for the future. I don’t like doing things alone anymore, even though I value my alone time very much!
Facts
about me
I am a trained cellist (started studying music, became a cellist and finished my Masters of Performance at the Royal Academy of Music in London).
I am not perfect and I believe that authenticity is the way to heal trauma and connect as a collective.
My favourite element is water. I am a philosopher at heart - going deep and stretching my mind is my jam.
I am a huge advocate for children and part of my mission is to help create a world that keeps children’s spirits alive.
I have direct and sometimes savage humour. I have a very analytical brain and a soft and cheesy heart.
I find joy in the small things and simultaneously love creating more beauty, luxury and abundance around me.
I grew up in Hannover and live in London. I have 4 siblings. I love cats (dogs too).

What clients say about
working with me
“I was able to heal in just 9 months after 27 years of trying”
Although I was a psychologist and tried every self-help technique and spiritual path I could find, it wasn’t until working with Marleen that I was actually able to see myself clearly. She was able to uncover a lifelong blindspot that freed me up to become more of who I really am. She is unflinchingly honest, while tremendously gentle and respectful. She has the clearest vision of any healer I’ve ever worked with, and she has zero ego.
Since my life has improved so visibly, many of my friends also started working with Marleen, and they have all had tremendous breakthroughs.
Marleen is practical, grounded, loving, safe, wise, fun, and warm. And her work is FAST. I was able to heal in just 9 months (after 27 years of trying), to the point where for the first time in my life, I don’t feel the need to pay someone to help me…because I now have everything that I need inside, and in my beautiful community.
I highly recommend working with her. Your life will never be the same.

Confidence as a performing artist
Since working with Marleen my confidence as a performing cellist has remarkably improved. She has helped me to feel safer in a space that I have always felt uncomfortable in, despite my love for music and desire to share it with others. Marleen made me feel so comfortable and safe in her presence and space and she guided me through the whole process with such compassion and wisdom.
It really does take ones understanding of their own past and trauma to heal, and you did It with such caring and welcoming arms. Marleen is one of the most compassionate persons I have ever met, I absolutely recommend working with her!

Quick transformation - Self confidence and strength, free from concerns and worries
By chance I came across Marleen during a business coaching, I thought such an online hypnosis can not work – but I was taught the opposite. It became the most important part of the workshop for me. In the later individual session, something burst open in me. My body had the deep need to free itself from concerns and worries and I left the hypnosis open and encouraged – and that sustainably. Since then, there has been a self-confidence and strength in me that carries me quite naturally at auditions, concerts and especially in my motivation. I was very surprised that only one session can carry such energy. Absolutely recommended!!

More fulfillment, happiness and connection - expressing needs
Marleen is incredibly professional and special. She has managed to bring more fulfillment, satisfaction, happiness and connection to all areas of my life by helping me to really perceive myself and to tackle the issues at the root. I have learned to express my needs more clearly without fear that something will happen to me if I am not what everyone else expects me to be. Working with her is incredibly enriching, transformative and eye-opening!

Reorienting in life, Anxiety, Nervoussystem work
Dear Marleen, I am really grateful that I decided to work with you on my inner self. In the sessions I felt safe and understood by you, and I was able to talk about anything that was coming up for me.I have learned so much in those 3 months! About my nervous system, my past, power, anger, intuition and body awareness.
Now I feel stronger to reorient myself, this time with my inner values and desires as a guide. It was good to talk to you regularly. You were always free of judgement and somehow everything that is in me, that burdens me, annoys me or scares me, was suddenly simply expressed and okay.
Not dramatic at all, but simply there. This was a wonderful experience! I will miss the hours with you, and I can only recommend everyone to take the step and dedicate themselves to their inner self together with you. Thank you for your wonderful work!

Fear of working with traumas - boundaries and emotions
When I started working with Marleen, I began to view my own consciousness and beliefs from an intimately caring but also safely distanced perspective. Working with traumas and self worth topics became an interesting path instead of a lingering fear.
I thought all of this was extremely hard or impossibly/unbearably intense but now I have the basic tools to start a discovery journey to understanding and refreshing my own inner world, creating a new identity along with a well designed set of boundaries. I can now begin to let all the existing and uprising pieces in me to express themselves. I can let my emotions deliver their messages and be viewn as valid, deservedly existing and useful tools.

Advancing career, shame, masculinity and power
I first started working with Marleen because I wanted to improve my self confidence and take control of advancing my career. From our very first session Marleen brought such a grounding presence and awareness that I immediately felt seen and safe enough to honestly open up. I can show up in any way, big or small, with any problem and she meets me exactly where I’m at.
She has been able to guide me through self-acceptance to seeing how I can step into my power and make a better life for myself and those closest to me. Because of our sessions I’ve been able to let go of the shame I’ve been holding onto and become more grounded in my masculinity. Working with her has led to positive shifts in ways that I didn’t even know I needed and I am eternally grateful for it.

Work on an eye-to-eye level without pity or judgement
I especially appreciate how you work with me on an eye-to-eye level, your presence and your compassion without pity or judgement. And you are simply very precise in what you do. I feel supported and “helped” in every single situation and session.

Self-understanding and healing that was previously unimaginable
Working with Marleen has allowed me to access a level of self-understanding and healing that was previously unimaginable. Every session contained insights and revelations into the roots of my life and the nature of who I am.

New career, trust and faith, feeling free and creative flow
Marleen is warm, safe, kind and direct. All things I needed in my healing. Marleen was able to attune to me instantly and helped me feel safe in my body. She was patient and helped normalize my experience.
Since working with her, I have been able to release old anger and fear and finally feel like my true self. Marleen was like a breath of fresh air and gave me a lot of hope. Because of our work together I am able to get my own needs met, feel safe enough in the world to be messy and human, allow myself to claim what I want in life, and let go of an identity that no longer fits me. I feel free. Because I feel safe and let go of old anger, I can tap into Source and creativity. I am now building a new career for myself and have so much trust and faith in the Universe.
Marleen’s hypnosis session brought me back to my own innocence and helped me see how supported and loved I am by the Universe. Not only do I feel safe in the physical realm, but I can surrender into the spiritual realm as well. I am eternally grateful for her work and her gifts to the world and HIGHLY recommend working with her!
