About...
Rev. Marie, a change agent, visionary, spiritual educator, speaker, mentor, and ordained minister, brings a quiet strength, commanding presence, and calm to her life's work.
After a period of unthinkable and seemingly insurmountable loss, illness, and burnout, Marie began the journey to save her own life and find her way to the person she was becoming through living in the sacred pause, spiritual renewal, and the five pathways of intentional living; spirituality, self-care, soul care, self-reflection, and slower living.
With a rich tapestry of over 40 years of experience in spiritual, business, and military leadership, metaphysical study, coaching, and mentoring, Rev. Marie's life reflects a rich and diverse background. Rev. Marie retired from the Army after 20 years of service and is a graduate of the Holmes Institute School of Consciousness Studies and the Centers for Spiritual Living School of Spiritual Leadership. She founded the Living Aligned Focus Ministry, where she served as the founding minister and spiritual director for six years.
She now pursues her life's work and ministry through Intentional Life Matters. Through mentoring, classes, workshops, and retreats, she guides spiritual leaders, caregivers, and people working in the helping professions to care for themselves as they care for others, fulfilling the promise of a life well-lived.
