ABOUT MAREE-NICOLE · CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPIST
Healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you were, before the world told you who to be.
WELCOME
Hi, I'm Maree-Nicole.
I work with people who have spent years surviving: staying in relationships that hurt them, putting everyone else first, or carrying anxiety and pain no one else can see. They’re often strong, capable and deeply caring, and quietly wondering where they went.
If that sounds like you, I’m so glad you’re here.
My story
For half my life, I was trapped in an abusive relationship, bound by a trauma bond I didn’t yet have the words for. I lived with shame, fear of change, and a quiet belief that maybe it was all my fault.
Anxiety had been with me for as long as I could remember, back when no one really talked about it. You just pushed through. I struggled with my relationship with food and my body, with saying no, with setting boundaries, and most of all, with loving myself. Looking back, it all came from the same place: I had learned to put everyone else first and to disappear a little more each time.
I saw many psychologists. One even stopped working with me because I kept going back. That rejection left me feeling more alone than ever, and asking why I couldn’t break free.
Hypnotherapy was my turning point. It reached the part of me that talking couldn’t. For the first time, I understood the pattern, and I could finally let it go.
That’s why I do this work. No one should feel judged for being stuck, and no one should have to find their way back alone.

MY PHILOSOPHY
You were never broken. You were surviving.
The patterns that keep you stuck once helped you survive. They made sense at the time, and that’s why willpower alone rarely shifts them. I believe healing happens when we gently work with the deeper mind, the body and the story you’ve been carrying, rather than fighting yourself.
You lead the way. We go at your pace, you stay in control, and nothing happens that you’re not ready for. My role isn’t to change who you are, but to walk beside you as you find your way back.
My purpose is to help you remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
MY BOOKS
Writing became part of my healing.
I wrote I See You to put words to what I had lived through, so others could feel less alone in theirs. I created I See Me after years as an educator, watching young people carry the same wounds I later saw in adults. I’ve also contributed chapters to the anthologies Empowered Women Empower Women and The New Leaders.
FROM MY HEART TO YOURS
A Final Message from Maree-Nicole
I know what it’s like to feel like you’re too much… or not enough.
To be the one who holds everything together — but secretly feels like they’re falling apart.
You don’t need to fix yourself.
You just need to return to yourself.
Sometimes we have to fall to rise.
Sometimes we have to go through it… to grow through it.
And when you finally learn to love yourself the right way, you’ll never again settle for the kind of love that hurts.
You don’t have to do this alone.
I see you. I’ve got you. And I’m right here when you’re ready.
You Don’t Have to Be Ready. Just Willing.
Let’s talk. I’ll help you find the right starting point for your healing journey.
