  — Michele

• Marlies has many years of experience tuning into her body through yoga & reiki. Any time I attend Marlies classes, while challenging, they are accessible to everyone. Marlies always takes the time to flow students through a mindful asana- and she always encourages you to listen to what your body needs. She shows up as her authentic self and encourages you to do the same every time you step in your mat. I follow her across the Region to the many yoga studios she teaches at, and it is always a heartfelt experience!

  — Erika

• I wasn’t too sure about Reiki but after doing a Reiki and Restore class I knew that I wanted to try a Reiki session on my own. Marlies has this amazing energy around her always and I couldn’t imagine doing a session with anyone else. It was wonderful and I felt so in-tune with myself and light after the sessions. She helped release blockages and the experience of the physical touch during Reiki in itself was therapeutic! Would highly recommend to anyone!

  — Danielle D.

• Two words sums up my experience which are Life changing!

  But if I can say a few more words, it would be this! I took 2 of Marlies White Oaks classes, which is where I found Marlies. Her style of yoga and her unique and personal way of using the English language truly opened my eyes to a new understanding and benefit to my yoga practice!

  She is honestly one of the most unique people I’ve ever met, so loving and caring for others whether you met her once or you known her a lifetime! after that experience in a class setting, I then enrolled in private sessions, and currently completed four or five of them. While considering the price of her private session, I was optimistic on what I’d be getting for that, but quickly into my first session, I began to realize how much benefit and worth I was getting out of my money. Marlie gives all of herself to her practice, her students and her profession! She gives it a 110% and I or the student receives all the benefits. My mind, body and soul is so much better with because of these sweet Jem that was some or something dropped into my Life. I call it my Marlies Meds! And I truly hope I never stop taking them!

  — James W.

• In a very low point of my life I have found that your energy, compassion and sincere interest in why I feel the way I do, has been very grounding. My experience during Reiki was of great appreciation as you provided me some very needed grounding and release of emotion. I look forward to my next session with you.
