ABOUT ME

Marie Houlden

My Own Journey With Emotional Burnout & Inner Healing

Being so aware of everyone else’s emotions and energy made me the a classic people pleaser and as a result I have experienced emotional burnout more than once. I just wanted to ensure everyone else was happy; my parents, friends, partners and in time my children. I wouldn’t speak up and ask for what I needed because I learnt that this rarely made a difference, I avoided conflict like the plague because I could never win and being shouted at terrified me, and because of all this my boundaries were non-existent. Over the years, I ended up with a nervous system in tatters and I was constantly in fight, flight or functional freeze (Looking confidence, capable and in control on the outside, but empty, numb and disconnected on the inside).

I wasn’t fully present in my own life, happiness happened in fleeting moments only and I had no idea who I was; I was simply surviving and I was burning out again. When I decided that enough was enough and I committed 100% to my inner healing, self-care and accepting who I was and what I needed. It was a total game changer and now in my 40’s I’m happier, healthier and more aligned than ever.

Without doubt, I know my calling is to help others to deal with their own stress and emotional exhaustion, especially the women who are juggling the responsibilities of work, business and the majority of care and work at home.

I want them to believe that life can be different, they don’t have to settle and the first step is to assert boundaries and to stop all the people pleasing. I’m on a continual path of development, learning, healing and growth and I’m always bringing this knowledge and skills to my clients.
