Marla has been meditating for over 20 years.   When she first sat, she was paralyzed by fear of the mind. The traditional form of stilling the mind and watching ones thoughts caused her more anxiety.  She found a lack of compassion and gentleness in the practise which she felt was so deeply needed.  In her search for healing she learned sacred teachings that she's used to create her meditations which are designed to help us feel safe in our bodies, gentle with our minds and overcome fear.   Marla began working with Indigenous Healer, Sachi James, in 2014 when she went through a major life change and was debilitated with grief and fear.  In 2018 she enrolled in the Chacaruna program with Sacred Medicine Ways.  Over the next 4 years she was dedicated to learning ancient teachings and receiving the Spiritual Rites to work with the medicines - which led to the creation of her meditations.  Her devotion to her spirituality is intensified with her passion for mental health and helping others.
