“The best health decision I have made”

Embarking on the 12wk Mind Body Balance Program with Marique has been the best health decision I have made in a long time.   Seven months after giving birth to my second child I knew it was time to ‘reclaim’ my body both mentally and physically.  Within my first session with Marique I was on my way to making small manageable changes which were both achievable for my busy lifestyle with two little children and sustainable to continue well past the 12wk program.  Marique is a wealth of knowledge but what she offers goes well past this.  Her support and guidance has helped me shift my approach and understanding of my own health.  This in turn is now being filtered down to my husband and children.  What started as my own personal health journey is now benefiting my whole family. Nearing the end of my 12wk program I feel stronger both physically and mentally, I feel more able to balance family life and still prioritise my health goals. I’ve surprised myself at my new ability to make better daily decisions regarding my health and wellbeing.   Marique has a wonderful way of feeding you information in a very digestible way, I highly recommend her program for anyone looking for a new understanding of their health which will lead to a healthier, happy, more balanced you!

“I didn't really know what to expect from a health coach”

I can whole-heartedly say that Mind Body Balance was a totally positive experience and one that I would highly recommend. I didn't really know what to expect from a 'health coach', but discovered it's a wonderful mix of advice and suggestions tailored to your health and lifestyle, combined with an almost counsellor-like approach, which I loved. The 12 weeks with Marique gave me so much more awareness of my body and by doing the programme I committed to making changes and improvements, instead of just talking about it! I was able to easily integrate her suggestions into my daily life, bit by bit, without it being overwhelming - and these new habits and the health knowledge that I gained were realistic, and also achievable mentally and financially. Marique is gentle, patient, thoughtful, intuitive and knowledgeable - and most of all she really cares.

“I can't recommend her highly enough!”

Marique has a natural ability to make you feel at ease and that you're being listened to. She's helped me make my way through all the clutter and confusion around food and dieting to offer simple, doable solutions for my busy lifestyle. I also like that the sessions aren't just around food and dieting, but more of a holistic approach to see what other influences are at play, so you can get to the root of what might be causing the problems. We've uncovered so many great things that I can start chipping away at and have a plan in place to help tackle them. I really enjoy my sessions with Marique as I come away feeling refreshed and refocused. She really does care about her clients and is passionate about helping them, I can't recommend her highly enough!

“She has a wonderful, caring and curious approach, and her fascination with health and wellbeing emanates out to anyone around her.”

I completed Marique’s programme late last year in search for more energy. I’m a career loving parent to two beautiful children (5 and 2 years old) meanwhile trying to make time for my husband and I during this crazy chapter! What Marique allowed me to do was to focus on the most important part of this roller coaster ride - me! Making sure that I am looking after myself. We women are too good at putting ourselves down the priority order. And that’s why I absolutely loved the weekly check ins with Marique who took the time to enquire and see what’s going on within - physically, mentally, emotionally. She has a wonderful, caring and curious approach, and her fascination with health and wellbeing emanates out to anyone around her. Thank you for a soulful 12 weeks MQ x

“Her approach is practical, resourceful, kind and holistic”

Marique’s genuine warmth, support, direction and commitment to me as I went through the stress and disappointment of sub fertility was a truly humbling experience. Her approach is practical, resourceful, kind and holistic. Her professionalism never overrode her approachability and generosity of spirit.  With Marique you have someone fully on your side willing to find a solution, appropriate to your lifestyle, that works for your personal health challenges.

Marique has a beautiful calming energy. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with her about my wellness journey and goals. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable.

“such a good way to make positive yet easy changes to improve your health”

It is such a good way to make positive yet easy changes to improve your health - and they are things you can continue with and keep as part of your daily life after the course. Knowing you are speaking to Marique each week means there is accountability to do what she has suggested, but there is never judgement if you haven't. Marique is just so invested in helping you and cares so much that you want to improve because you don't want to let her down!

“I always came away feeling empowered and ready to go to sort life out”

Marique, I want to thank you for helping me to understand me and what I was wanting to do. Things haven’t been easy for me the last few years however meeting with you has been a pleasure, not only helping me with what I need but also your energy and beautiful caring nature is so great to be around. I always came away feeling empowered and ready to go to sort life out. Not that it was bad but just the right healthier road. You listen to what I had to say and understood my strengths and weaknesses. Thank you for always listening and being there for me.

“I finally have clarity on a holistic way forward that is backed by science”

I recommend Marique’s Health coaching programming to anyone who is interested in finding a little more balance from a health and wellness perspective. Marique’s has an incredible amount of knowledge and I learnt so much, but it was delivered in her approachable and down to earth manner, which made any of her recommendations feel completely achievable. We’re all bombarded by so much info and opinions when it comes to our health, but I feel like I finally have clarity on a holistic way forward that is backed by science. Marique has put time into thinking about how to shape her course in a way that provides structure over the weeks, but at the same time, she allowed the course to be personalised based on what was going on and of most importance to me. Thank you so much Marique! <3

“You gave me a gift”

It became like therapy...it is not often that mothers get an hour a week to talk about their well-being goals. For me, there were often tears of realisation and it was magic for me to be able to do this in a safe space. I loved speaking with you and every time I looked forward to the next session. You gave me a gift - taking the time to decide how I wanted my health to look and being held accountable.

“Marique is an exceptionally knowledgable, passionate & warm person who truly wants to help”

Marique is an exceptionally knowledgable, passionate and warm person who truly wants to help. I was not sure what I was signing up for, but from our first meeting I realised she had a lot to offer me. I have dealt with weight and stress issues that have impacted my health. Heading into my 40s was scary and the weight was creeping up. Rather than telling me it was a normal part of ageing, she educated me on how my body was responding to certain stressors, be it food/lifestyle, and helped re-shape this through quite easy to implement tips and advice. I love that she does not accept getting older means getting wider:) The regular sessions kept me on track and engaged, and always came out feeling so much more empowered. I am now looking forward to continuing on this path to a healthier me.

“Marique took me back to basics… on how to look after my body & make sure I’m giving it all it needs”

I started on Marique’s wellness programme at a time when I was careering towards 40, highly stressed, sugar addicted & struggling to lose the Covid KGs that had piled on during the first lockdown (due to a survival mode diet of carbs, sugar, numerous cups of coffee a day, gin & Shiraz). Marique took me back to basics & started from the ground up on how to look after your body & make sure I’m giving it all it needs. With that came a re look at my diet & a shift in mindset from stress eating to wholesome eating. My aim was to be forty, fit & fabulous, however as a result of lockdown I was heading towards forty, fat & frumpy…& not very happy. Now, 3 days off feeling forty while not quite Kate Moss (which I accept I never will be) I’m nearly forty & feeling great! As I work full time & have small children stress management is a big thing in my life, Marique helped me to recognise when I was stressed & simple but effective ways to deal with it. I couldn’t recommend Marique & her programme more highly, everyone should see her no matter how chubby or thin, zen or stressed you are.
