About
Welcome, friend, welcome, thank you for landing here.
In choosing a Therapist to work with, it matters so very much that you feel a safe, open, and genuine connection with your practitioner. In truth, no real healing can take place without the presence of safety and connection.
And so, I’ll offer a little about who and how I am in the world.
First up, I am a seeker. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to understand and make sense of humans. Why we do the things we do, why we are who we are, why we’re here.
I will tell you that I think it’s all for the purpose of growth. To expand and stretch our souls to the very outer edges of comfort, so that we can evolve, so we can raise our consciousness, both individually and collectively. It’s a bumpy ride at times, but that’s ok; with each challenge, we learn and grow and awaken a little more. It’s in mud that the lotus can grow…..
I’m a fierce Mama Bear, graciously fortunate enough to guide, along with my partner, two little humans who are the source of my deepest love, richest learning, and greatest pride. They are exquisite.
I write and record guided meditations and healing poetry, which are available here on my site, as well as on the Insight Timer app.
I have a deep passion for understanding trauma and its impact on us and how we show up (or don’t) in the world. Beyond my formal degree in Psychotherapy, my training includes modalities such as MBSR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) specific to early, developmental, relational, and complex trauma, the area of healing I’m mostly deeply passionate about. I’m also a qualified yoga teacher and work somatically and through a nervous system/polyvagal lens.
My hunger for learning never exhausts. As long as I am breathing, I will continue to grow, evolve, and help others do the same. I sit with others in their darkest and most confusing moments, holding the light up so they may find their way back home. It is a profound privilege to get to do so.
If you feel called to work therapeutically with me, you’re so welcome to reach out – you’ll find me at mar@marhealy.com
With warmest wishes,
Mar
