The best thing clients say about The Method is that it’s freeing and changes are immediate


THANK YOU SO MUCH MARLENE!!! I had many important breakthroughs. So happy. SOOO HAPPY!!! Your Method is Awesome 👍 👍👍

I really enjoyed my session with Marlene and this method of investigating personal patterns, history and how your mind and body perceive experiences. I found it illuminating and thought provoking to work through a situation with her support, guidance and prompting. I am grateful to have a new set of tools I can use to avoid getting ‘stuck’ and to proactively be able to move forward with grace, insight and empowerment.

I initially began using The Method to try and understand the deep discomfort I felt during a period of unemployment and the general confusion I had about my career path. Though I had struggled to find work before, this time I found the anxiety and profound negativity was paralyzing and I was unable to move forward despite being familiar with the job search process.

By the end of the first session, I had discovered that growing up during the AIDS epidemic in New York City in the 1980’s had a profound impact on the way I viewed the world and my ability to trust not only those around me, but also trust in logic and justice. The trauma caused by witnessing so much pain and suffering while being far too young to comprehend the situation led me to create cognitive and emotional barricades that, though they kept me from fully experiencing the pain at that time, were now so deeply embedded that they were causing me to live my adult life in fear.

The outpouring of emotions after my first session practicing The Method surprised me. I had vivid dreams and found that the more I thought about my uncovered trauma, the more I was able to dig deeper into other emotional issues that were causing me distress. I also felt more compassion towards myself and for the people and situations that had shaped me.

I highly encourage any individuals experiencing personal or emotional stagnation to seek out The Method. By exposing our deep trauma, we can experience catharsis and move on from pain. When we have released our hold on embedded coping mechanisms, we can begin to rebuild our core self and embrace new potentials and possibilities.

I decided to try The Method in the middle of a very difficult year. Personally, my life felt emotionally exhausting and unsafe. Professionally, my life felt unfulfilled and I was unhappy in my job because of a particularly abusive colleague. Globally, I was overwhelmed by the turns of politics and events. Overall, I’d fallen into the deepest depression I’d experienced in my life, and I felt hollow and unable to tap into my emotions or find a way toward healing. I’d made a few attempts to find a therapist, but each time I did, recommended therapists were not taking clients and I felt more alone and frustrated. I’m a long-time proponent of personal wellness and keeping tabs on my mental health to make sure I was doing regular maintenance, but I felt like I’d let things get out of control.

Then I found The Method, and Marlene. Marlene created a safe space to try The Method. Her demeanor is welcoming, calming, and full of love. She made me feel safe and encouraged to make my way through The Method and she helped me feel with full confidence I would come through the process in a better place. I did.

At the end, I felt free of the incident that kept creeping into my thoughts and interrupting my sleep. I felt clear, and for the first time in many months, I felt hope. I know that one step at a time, with Marlene’s support, I can use The Method to cleanse my spirit of the traumas and toxicity that weigh me down, and make my way into my light. The Method is a gift, and Marlene is a safe, kind, gentle, capable, person who creates a space of safety and comfort while facilitating The Method. For anyone who feels sadness, anger, nagging, frustration, or any negativity about any experience, I highly recommend using The Method. It restores hope.
