Marcia’s Gifts
Coaching, Facilitation, Retreats & Tai Chi (online & in person)
Leadership & Healing Centered Coaching
We begin by listening. If you are looking to deepen and gain more clarity on how you want to show up in your community and work in a Powerful, Embodied, and Transformative way, please reach out! I am a certified leadership coach with an ACC certification through the International Coaching Federation. I offer individual and group leadership and strength based coaching. I also support individuals and groups to move their facilitation online in a pop ed. and embodied way.
“Marcia has literally changed my life. I heard people say that the personal and professional go together, but I could not figure it out. As a scientist, we are trained to be “objective”, to leave yourself at the door when you walk in. Honestly, it felt so inauthentic to me and the people that I hoped my scientific findings could help. Leaving my full self at the door was really holding me back in what I was willing to push and what I was willing to say. Marcia has helped me to start to address some of my personal fears and translate how they show up for me professionally to be the best researcher, health scholar, and abolitionist I can be. I am so thankful to have my Marcia!”
~Dr. Brittney Butler
Retreat & Group Facilitation
The courage and renewal retreat method creates a space to listen to our inner voice in community (developed by Parker Palmer sourced from Quaker traditions). I also support facilitators in moving their work from in person to online. Some past retreats are: Healing from the Wounds of Racism, The (R)evolution of Our Soul, Sister to Sister: Transition in Two Keys, Facing Our Fear, (R)evolution of Our Heart.
“During these times of devastation and despair, Marcia and Val offer a healing balm to restore, renew and revive the sacred power of the heart! As a participant and collaborator in the Revolution of Our Heart 3-part series, I was given the brave space to drop into my heart and ask it, “What does it need to be well and thrive?” Healing is a continuous lifelong process and I believe that what Marcia and Val have to offer as facilitators must be shared again and again! This work is needed and I am forever grateful for their gifts!“
