“Truly life-changing”

I’m so grateful to have supported hundreds of people all across the globe. Enjoy these words from special souls, showing up for themselves and doing the work! I worked with Maggie in her 4-week 1:1 Somatic Coaching Program. I came in hoping to further my own somatic practice and learn to better process trauma somatically - I came out with that and more. 

Maggie was fantastic at tailoring our sessions to my needs and creating a four-week plan that followed my journey at the pace my body was capable of/had space for.  Not only is she a master of somatic/body-based practices, which she helped guide me through and teach me, but also she helped me reframe old belief structures, preconceptions, and mindsets in a somatic, trauma-informed way. 

I personally have trauma revolving around attachment and social connection, which Maggie helped me feel safe enough to share and work with. I was even able to feel an intuitive connection with Maggie (a profoundly healing experience on its own).  All in all, my work with Maggie has had a tremendous impact on my personal healing journey and I am ever grateful for our time together.

“A true gift of co-regulation and safety”

Maggie is a true gift of co-regulation and safety. in her presence, I felt safe, seen, and open to ask questions. Maggie is genuine in her interactions and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains things clearly and leads beautiful body-centered practices that fit each individual's needs in a group setting. She shares and welcomes accommodations, questions, and reflections.

I look forward to continuing work/practice with Maggie in the future because this experience exceeded all expectations and we barely scratched the surface of her wisdom.

“Transformational journey”

Working with Maggie was transformational. The 1:1 Somatic curriculum helped me cultivate skills that continue to shine as vital parts of my journey. I’ve always valued the elements of awareness/impermanence/non-attachement within my yoga and meditation practices and her guidance in learning to work with the body as a safe space within which to receive and process energy has taken those areas to new levels. It’s the classic “simple but not easy”, but so worth it as a foundational piece of whatever one’s path may be, and in developing the ability to take one’s practice “off the mat” and out into life and the world at large.

“Incredible support, warmth, wisdom and guidance”

Working with Maggie was INCREDIBLE! I have worked with a lot of different coaches and therapists over the years and Maggie was the one that I immediately felt the most comfortable with. The amount of support she provided us not only during the weekly practice sessions but also in the group chat and 1:1 sessions was so amazing. I love her warmth, and wisdom, and guidance!

“Take a class with Masha if you want to experience clarity that help you move forward.”

“I took a breathwork class with Masha and she is AMAZING.  She is gifted at guiding the meditation, and the music that she incorporates perfectly matches the tempo of the experience. She provides a sense of safety in how she handles the session and your intention, and I felt absolutely comfortable and able to embrace the experience in her presence.

I began the session feeling a lot of anxiety about various things going on personally, and ended feeling calm because I had come to a realization of how to approach certain challenges.

“Pure. Magic.”

“Masha’s Breathwork sessions are pure magic! I’ve been feeling so much calmer and centered since I started. Her guidance is incredible - she creates such a safe and supportive space. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned about myself through breathwork. Masha is an amazing coach, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their mental and emotional well-being.”

“I already feel 10x better.” 

"I usually find it super hard to meditate for more than 10 minutes. This time 1.5 hours passed and to me they seemed not more than 30 minutes. Masha chose the most perfect music and her soothing voice was guiding me through the whole process. I experienced a very deep dive into my subconscious and was able to find the answers to the question I posed before the session. Not the ones I expected but the ones that actually worked! I understood exactly what I needed to do and how to change my life in order to find the health I was seeking. And now that I’m in the process of implementing these ideas, I already feel 100 times better. Plus, the inspiration that I got from a session with Masha helped me to finally include daily meditation into my life. I couldn’t be happier with everything that this breathwork miracle gifted me with!”

- Julia Surovegina

“Highly highly recommend, Masha and what she does is magical.”

“I have never experienced anything like this! I have been trying to meditate and do breathwork for the past year or so, but could never really fully understand the whole purpose of it. In 90% of the times, I would just get distracted, lost in my thoughts and either stop doing it or convince myself that it is probably not for me, as I can’t sit still for more than 15 minutes.

My breathwork session with Masha was truly incredible! Her approach to it, her music selection, soft but also powerful voice, her guidance and word selection, and most importantly her ability to make you feel and be kind to yourself without self-judgment was exactly what I needed. I have also never had these sensations in my body, it is almost weird but in a very beautiful way.

“Connection with the subconscious."

“Thank you for the wonderful session. The connection with the subconscious through breathing was very unique. I was able to delve far into my inner self and the unconscious and discover feelings/emotions I was unaware I still carried.”

- Sandra

“Renewed purpose.”

“With Masha’s tranquil guidance I was able to temporarily escape the confounds of the mind’s never-ending monologue and to hear what my body had to tell me. While this experience was intense, it brought clarity and with it a sense of relief and renewed purpose.”

- Julia

“She guided me to hold a pause, recognize, and observe what was coming up without shame..."  

"Marisela’s guided coaching experience allowed me to recognize that my body has always been my most wise and trusted companion and all that it ever wanted was for me to honor my slow-moving heart. Each guided session with Marisela brought awareness, connection, and appreciation to being able to hear my intuition. She challenged my constant need of wanting to cancel out my feelings and emotions, and instead she guided me to hold a pause, recognize, and observe what was coming up without shame."

- Maria

“Now I trust my intuition more than ever.”

  "This somatic coaching program was a revelation. It taught me to listen to the messages my body has been sending me all along. By connecting with my inner child, I began to heal old wounds and rediscover the joy that had been buried beneath them.  Now, I trust my intuition more than ever, and it's leading me down a path filled with a deep sense of purpose and joy."

- Carolina

“I am more in tune with what I need and have the tools to access this self knowing.” 

I learned to embrace the scars and pieces as part of my experience and journey. I am more in tune with what I need and have the tools to access this self knowing. I really know what “listen to your body” really means now and couldn’t have known it truly had I not been a part of this journey.

- Lorena

“I feel so much lighter."

"Hi Lianne, I wanted to share that I’ve been feeling so much calmer since our session yesterday. I also noticed that the pain in my body gradually decreased throughout the evening. This morning, I woke up, and the pain was completely gone. I did feel a bit sad when I woke up, so I placed my hand on the area where I felt it, allowed the sadness to surface, and focused on my breath. That was exactly what I needed, and now I know what to do to ease the chronic pain. I feel so much lighter. Thank you!"

- Rianne

“I now understand how my body works and can heal in a way that supports me."  

 "Lianne has given me the knowledge, tools, and supportive environment to heal my body, mind, and soul. I now understand how my body works and can heal in a way that truly supports me. Lianne is a wise and incredibly skilled teacher whose extensive training and experience set her apart from all other coaches and therapists."

- Kimberley

“I feel so liberated and different."

Hey dear Lianne, I just wanted to share something with you: since starting with you and Return To Your Body, the pain in my left hip and side, along with that annoying radiating discomfort, has been completely gone for a month now. Wow. I feel so liberated and different. I'll see you next week, and in the meantime, I'll continue with the online exercises in the app. Thank you!

- Leanna

“I now know I can hold whatever arises."

 "I am so grateful for everything, Lianne—the sessions, the online programs. So much is moving within me. Everything feels softer, there is more space for joy and the happy part of me. I feel much clearer, yet also more confused, and I know that I can hold whatever heaviness arises. Thank you."

- Marjolein

“I no longer feel exhausted, I go straight into restorative sleep."

  "Hey Lianne, since starting RTB and knowing what practice to do each day, I’ve been sleeping so much better. I no longer feel exhausted, I go straight into restorative sleep (I know this from my OURA ring), and I feel so much safer and more grounded in myself. The pain in my body has decreased, and even when I pick up my kids from school, people have noticed how much more relaxed I look. Thank you for your program—it’s truly magical."
