Mari is a trauma practitioner, coach, and somatic healer dedicated to helping women heal, grow, and achieve meaningful goals.

Her own challenges—including losing her home to Hurricane Irma and personal health struggles—fueled her healing journey. Now based in Wilmington, NC, Mari combines her resilience and expertise to empower women through coaching and healing.
Passionate about personal growth, Mari inspires others to create meaningful lives, whether through her healing work or podcasting.
