About

Marieke (muh-RYE-kuh) is passionate about helping find healing through play and exploration so that more people in the world are able to activate their brave creativity and self expression.

Marieke came to their work through their experience as a singer and classically trained voice teacher. They had a difficult childhood that included abuse and trauma, and their inner voice and self expression were often shut down and suppressed. However, they loved singing and that was a powerful outlet for self-expression. Over the years, they began to reconnect with their inner voice and heal their Voice Wounds on multiple levels using spiritual and vocal practices. After becoming a mother, their connection to intuition increased and they experienced a spiritual expansion that took them beyond the faith they were raised in. They began to see how others were affected by what Marieke calls the Voice Wound and was called to share their gifts of healing and voice work with others.

Marieke holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Vocal Performance, an Associate of Science in Business Administration from Pasadena City College, and is currently working on a Masters Degree in psychology and creativity at Pacifica Graduate Institute. Marieke is an experienced voice teacher, a Second Degree Practitioner of Usui Reiki, and a certified Soul Mastery Akashic Record Consultant. They also identify as queer and non-binary. Marieke is pansexual, polyamorous, kink-friendly, sex-positive, and a fat liberationist.
