learn about marcella
I believe in our potential to be great, in our capacity to heal, forgive, make meaningful contributions, and love unreservedly. I’m an optimist to the core.
I’m also acutely aware of the unmet needs that many of us face daily, leading to trauma, injustice, and chronic stress. This reality weighs heavily on me as I witness the direct and indirect trauma experienced by so many people. We often find ourselves hurt and overwhelmed, which can lead to consciously or unconsciously inflicting pain on others.
I offer compassionate, thoughtful care to those struggling with the real-life consequences of trauma, abuse, loss, grief, illness, injury, and chronic pain.
Both in my personal life and with my clients, I’m committed to compassionate listening, clear communication, and respect for our collective, inspired wisdom. I'm a strong advocate for deep self-acceptance and self-responsibility as a way to thrive, and I know that’s not easy.
A contemplative, spiritual practice and 20 years of daily meditation led me to understand the effectiveness of using energy and consciousness in the healing process. I'm passionate about self-care and supporting my clients in developing self-efficacy. Yoga has helped me to connect to the innate wisdom we each embody. Being ready for change can be overwhelming and sometimes it takes a village of support to overcome our own obstacles.
I’m thankful for the many teachers, coaches, and healers who have partnered with me in navigating the sometimes turbulent waters of my own life and allowed me the space to emerge with a clear mind and a peaceful heart.
It's an honor for me to partner with you in creating a nourishing environment that contributes to your wellness. If you feel called to work together, I would love to hear your story and witness your transformation.

“Working with Marcella has been so freeing. Her health coaching series is well planned and helped me to become aware of deeper negative feelings, release them, and move into a more positive outlook. Marcella is so warm, accepting and supportive; I felt very comfortable working with her. It is rare to find someone who has the training, experience, and natural gifts of healing all levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Her insights have opened doors for me, and I’m deeply grateful for her. I highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking to live a fuller, more satisfying life.”
“I read recently that taking time to “notice the sources of intuition that help you in your decision making” is vital for journeying through or keeping inventory of my “different selves”. Spirit, body and mind. Flourish became that for me, a source and a listening to me. It helped me notice how I hold my vision of myself. Marcella was available for my heart (Bless her). I set goals and developed tools to learn to live this new way of life for me. Flourish nourished areas of my life that weren’t even on my vision list, acknowledged my “this is where I’m at!”, left me responsible for my intentions and provided me space to slow down, speed up, stand still, make mistakes and forgive myself. Highly recommended.
