The Gift of the Goddess

Imagine living a life where the painful echoes of your past no longer define you.

The Gift of the Goddess offers you a safe, compassionate space to unburden yourself from the emotional weight you've carried and reclaim a deep sense of peace, belonging, and wholeness.

This six-month journey is crafted for the Goddess who has accomplished much but still feels a need for healing that no success has yet filled.

"Immediately upon hearing Marcella's voice, I was compelled to reach out to her. Marcella's compassion, connection, and ability to mentor me in an empathetic, supportive and wise way has enabled me to unpack significant emotions, process them and shape my perspective. I feel a calm in my nervous system for the first time in a long time. Marcella has wise insight and a gentle, nonjudgmental manner about her that elicits trust in her mentorship. I highly recommend reaching out to her to see if she is a match for your healing needs."

Rewrite the script of your past

And discover a self-love you didn't know was possible

You're a resilient woman who has worked tirelessly to claim the worldly success you've achieved.

Yet beneath all the kudos are long-neglected wounds tugging at your soul to be healed.

  • Perhaps you were a "dutiful daughter" who took care of everyone else in your family. You want to use this time in your life to create the freedom you want but have no idea how.

  • Or you've been a compulsive peacemaker who's kept everyone else happy but have started a raging war inside yourself that no amount of eating can pacify.

  • Or you've struggled for decades with a haunting feeling of never good enough that keeps you from creating the life you dream of.

In the Gift of the Goddess, you'll learn how to release the beliefs that have shackled you to a painful past so that you can consciously create the future of your dreams.

"My work with Marcella has left me in awe. Recently I uncovered an old trauma that was buried under so much shame. This was clearly a huge part of my struggle with my weight for so long.

Marcella was so present and compassionate. As she guided me through the Tapping, I released the old trauma and found a new sense of freedom wrapped with self-love I didn’t know I could feel.

I understand more clearly why my body fought against my desire to be in better shape, and I forgave myself for all the failures.

I can finally see that it can be safe to be in the body I want."

—Lea S., Arlington VA

"Healthy food is boring. I want wine & cake!"

At age 65, after a lifetime of failed diets, Karen has finally made peace in her love-hate battle with food.

In our 1-on-1 work together, Karen realized she no longer needed party foods to soothe herself.

Instead, she recognized that she is the party. 🎉

How it works

The work with Marcella combines EFT Tapping with guided meditation, inner child work, creative visualization, and shamanic-style soul retrieval to help you find emotional peace.

  • Before we begin, you'll receive a pre-session questionnaire that will help us both gain clarity on the issues you want to work with and desired outcomes.

  • In our 12 meetings over six months we'll we'll use EFT Tapping and other somatic tools to identify the negative beliefs and early-life experiences that have kept you stuck in patterns of behavior that no longer serve you.

  • You'll have the option to record our meetings for future reference. These twice-monthly sessions create steady, transformative progress, focusing on deep healing, identifying core emotional wounds, and building new, empowering beliefs.

  • I'll often suggest actions you can take in between our meetings, including suggestions for specific content for you to work with from my Women, Food & Forgiveness Resource Library.

  • I record customized EFT audio scripts and healing exercises provide you with tools you can use on your own to process emotions, reduce cravings, and handle triggers on your own between sessions.

  • You're welcome to email me weekly between our meetings to stay connected between our calls, receive further guidance, and celebrate wins. Ongoing access to me via email support enables you to process insights, seek guidance, and stay on track between sessions.

  • We'll wrap up our six months with a 45-minute Celebration Call, where we'll celebrate your progress and map out the next steps of your healing journey.

“For years I had wanted to resume my belly-dancing but felt horrified at the thought of others looking at my body in those revealing costumes. After years of wanting so much to dance again, I’m now passionately training in belly dance and recently completed a successful audition with ease.

What’s more, I genuinely love my body.

Simply put, healing the internal wounding affects and transforms EVERYTHING.

From the bottom of my heart chakra, I send gratitude to Marcella.”

"I am a totally different woman after doing this work. I am cooking and eating healthier meals. I have learned a lot about my body and how to accept and love it. I am down 30 pounds, I am not drinking, I have prioritized health and exercise in my life. I am a lot stronger and taking control of my life."

—Sandy D., Minneapolis, MN
