Welcome, I’m Lynn Marie.
My deepest intention is to help you discover what a powerful being you are!
I can help you wake up from the disempowering beliefs that hold you back so you can embody your true power in all aspects of your life. I call this Empowered Embodiment.
As a psychotherapist, spiritual mentor, and author with over 30 years of experience, my approach encompasses all levels—somatic, emotional, relational, psychological, and spiritual—to facilitate an embodied wholeness in all aspects of life.
How I Work
I work holistically—with the physical body (nervous system), emotional body (blocked emotions), mental body (psychological conditioning and beliefs), the relational body (relationship with self and others), and our spiritual nature (awakening consciousness). As we truly wake up out of our conditioned patterns of identity, I have found that healing can occur on all these levels.
I am trained somatically through my masters program in Somatic Psychology and Holistic Health, as well as my certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
My experience as a Marriage, Family Therapist since 1992 has trained me to work deeply with a wide range of relational, emotional and psychological issues. This training includes Emotional Embodiment, a somatic method for learning to tolerate difficult emotions and for releasing blocked emotions.
In addition, I have a lifetime of deep spiritual practice and experience through many traditions including Western non-dual teachings, Tibetan Buddhism, Bhakti Yoga path of devotion, and currently the work of Jacqueline Hobbs, all of which have helped build the foundation of the work I do.
I have also developed a way to integrate non-dual wisdom and relationship therapy through what I call Awakened Relating.
I offer deep compassion for the difficult issues we all experience as human beings…
while at the same time holding, and pointing to, the truth of what is already free and whole within us.
I allow the infinite wisdom of our limitless being to guide my work, directing me to use learned knowledge, techniques, and methods as needed that are uniquely tailored to each individual I work with.
My own journey of healing and awakening has given me a profound understanding and empathy for the wounding of others, showing me how to release suffering at its root.
My Story
In my younger years, my inner world was in turmoil, and I had a deep sense of something being wrong with me—a core shame. I grew up in a dysfunctional family system that was not able to provide the safety, and support needed for me to naturally come into the full expression of who I am.
I dedicated myself to healing and to discovering what truly brings about real transformation and freedom from my conditioned identity. At first, I believed that spiritual awakening alone would free me from my suffering and heal my trauma. Yet, through awakening to the deep, silent presence at the core of my being…
I came to realize that we all have the power to heal within us—and we can unlock that power.
This changed everything for me because I now have a vast resource of strength and wisdom within me to rely on. For some time, I believed that this alone would resolve all of my physical and psychological issues. However, the issues seemed to intensify because I was less defended and more open. Although I managed them better, external forces kept triggering and causing my issues to arise again and again.
This showed me that I still needed to address my human wounding directly. The deeper healing ability and infinite intelligence I had tapped into showed me that it was necessary and possible to
face anything and free everything.
I eventually realized that all the years of finding ways to avoid the pain by trying to fix it, spiritually bypass it, or distract myself from it were not leading to healing and freedom from suffering. The resistance to the pain kept me stuck in it and created depression and anxiety.
My healing and freedom came through facing and feeling all of my experience, no matter how uncomfortable, within the safety of the presence of being.
At first, I sought this through others who were in touch with the presence of being. This moved me to seek therapists, healers, and bodyworkers to assist me in my awakening and embodiment process until I was able to access my own healing ability within myself.
The psychotherapeutic and spiritual processes I did became inseparable for me. They were intricately interconnected and I knew that I needed both. I believe that being consciously connected to my source nature while facing my negative conditioning and trauma has made it possible to experience the deepest healing, transformation and freedom possible.
I learned that I am already whole and free, but my conditioned identities limited my experience of that. I didn’t have to create wholeness, freedom, awakeness.
All of that is inherent to my being and always present, yet obscured by my trauma and conditioning. I slowly came to realize that the self-improvement project I had embarked upon was never ending. It was through a deep acceptance of myself as I am that my life began to change.
My work came out of my own journey and a dedication to discovering what is most true and transformative for both myself and others. This is what compelled a lifetime of psycho-spiritual exploration and transformative work.
I now feel blessed and privileged to offer others what I’ve discovered—the healing power of embodied presence.
I refer to the work I offer as Empowered Embodiment, which is psycho-spiritual-
somatic support for becoming a living embodiment of your powerful nature.
It is comprehensive and focused on empowering you to fully live what you truly are, not a diminished version of old patterns.
No matter how you are now, you already have everything within you to heal.
I merely serve as a facilitator helping you to invoke your own power.
