About Cecile
Every life has a purpose...
My name is Cécile Marie. I am a life coach, certified EFT therapist (Emotional Freedom Technique), holistic healer, Reiki Master, Human Design/astrology guide, nutritionist, Life activist, animal lover...
In 15 years of career as a freelance, I have helped in 2 countries hundreds of brave people feeling like there was something more available for them, wanting to step out of the matrix, be their authentic selves and take the risk to make a difficult move, to create a life of purpose, inner peace and passion.
Born and raised in France, I grew up in a strict academic environment, in a familial climate of emotional violence. As an extremely sensitive child and day-dreamer, I spent my childhood and teenage feeling different and isolated, wondering what was wrong with me.
In spite of a constant pressure to conform and to put security over momentum, I couldn't understand the people around me, their accommodation for purposeless comfort and spiritual stagnation. I was definitely a black sheep in the tribe, as I knew early on that I would do all I could to make my childhood dreams come true.
Starting my adult life with a master 2 and engineering degree, and the constant fear of dying, I was a highly educated day-dreamer dealing with severe anxiety and chronic depression.
I "knew" that taking anti-depressive pills wasn't the way I wanted to live my life and that there was a better career for me than delivering products or speeches I didn't believe in. I knew something more authentic was available for me. I knew I wanted to help the world be a better place, and I knew I had to start with helping myself. At 23 years old, while all my highly educated friends were starting corporate careers, I started a passionate journey of self-healing and spiritual awakening.

I experimented different healing techniques that were available in France at that time: classic psychology, hypnosis and focused brief therapies. At the same time I started my own business as a nutritionist and food counselor. Working for myself brought me the freedom that I needed to express my creativity, and grow outside of the box.
I spent my twenties discovering the depths of my psyche, addressing my passions and reprogramming my negative emotions into love and hope. As I developed my reality from the inside out, I was able to put words on the fact that we as a species, were living in a paradigm of lies and dehumanization. I found fulfillment in activism by educating the public about the quality of the food they were eating and denouncing the very corrupt giant companies and institutions I graduated to work with.
However, at 30 it was still a challenge to quit medication for good and I was still struggling with anxiety and lack of enthusiasm. I was still living in a big city, under a climate I didn't like, working on my computer most of the day, and dealing with abusive relationships. Part of me was feeling like I was still playing the rules of a system I didn't fit in and I needed to take a bigger risk to give more meaning to my life.
I was terrified of dying, in fact I was terrified of leaving my home city to see something else. It's only after my dad died that I took a chance, quick my job, gave my apartment keys back, took my car and started a goalless road trip through France. I was guided by the idea of meeting communities building their own villages and growing their own food, and I started working on farms, learning about natural living. My dream of being close to animals and nature became a reality and opened my senses to a new type of spirituality. I had randomly followed the Rose Line, the ancient meridian 0 that goes through sacred places in France, leaving messages from the Goddess.
Strong of a new awareness of the world and guided by the Goddess, I took the biggest risk of my life by moving to the United States of America, the land of the free, in November 2016. First as a bag packer then as a student in the heart of the Californian new age culture, then as a freelance again as a holistic healer and a life coach.
I learned from my experiences, my encounters and my critical thinking. As a unique individual in the vastness of the world, I gained confidence, strength and autonomy. It wasn't easy, but nothing could scare me anymore, and medication became an old story, as I had replaced it by passion, purpose and excitement.
