About Me

My name is Marie and I am both a professional Coach and Well-Being specialist. Originally from Scotland, I am now based near the Lausanne area of Switzerland.

Although I started my career in finance as a Chartered Accountant, with over 16 years in an international corporate environment, I have always been interested in people, what motivates them, and questioned why do we behave the way we do? Because of my background in audit and due diligence, I was drawn to a pragmatic and evidence-based approach which are important principals of Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and systemic Coaching.  Both these approaches are highly complementary and has enabled me to follow my passion for helping others develop their potential and share with them the tools and strategies to cope with the many challenges that are inevitable in life.

Certified Professional Coach with IDC, Institute de Coaching, Geneva and Associate Certified Coach with The International Coaching Federation (ICF), which is an international body that ensures rigor and worldwide professional standards for the coaching profession. I also hold an Executive Coaching certification accredited by EMCC, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.

I hold Diplomas and Certificates in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, and Stress Management & Resilience Building from the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy, London: the leading UK training center for evidence-based hypnotherapy integrated with CBT (Hypno-CBT®). My qualifications are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and International Stress Management Association (ISMA) respectively.

I am also a licentiate practitioner with the Register of Evidence-Based Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy and bound by their code of ethics, practices and standards.
