For many women, saying yes to this work is not a small step.
Often, there is already a deep knowing that something wants to shift. That life could feel lighter, freer, or more aligned with who they truly are.
And at the same time, questions may arise:
Was this the right decision?
Am I really ready?
Can I trust myself in this?
If you recognize these thoughts, you’re not alone.
You do not need to force yourself through anything here.
This work is not about trying harder, controlling yourself more skillfully, or becoming someone else.
It is an invitation to come back into a deeper relationship with yourself.
What This Work Is About
Many of the women I work with have already done a great deal of inner work.
They have read the books, attended the workshops, gained the insights, and spent years trying to understand themselves.
And yet, certain areas of life may still feel heavy, difficult, or stuck.
Not because they need more information and effort, but because the body, the nervous system, and old patterns are still operating from a different reality.
This work is not about digging deeper and deeper into the past.
It is about creating more space within you.
More capacity.
More steadiness.
More connection to yourself.
What You May Notice
As the work begins to integrate, you may notice:
• More clarity
• More calm
• More inner peace
• A different relationship to pressure
• Greater awareness of old patterns
• More ability to pause before reacting
• Stronger boundaries
• More trust in your own timing and perception
Some shifts may feel immediate.
Others may unfold quietly over time.
Both matter.
A Gentle Orientation
One of the biggest shifts in this work is learning not to immediately override yourself the moment
something feels uncomfortable, unclear, emotional, or activated.
Many women are deeply conditioned to respond to pressure by:
• Pushing harder
• Overthinking
• Trying to fix themselves
• Numbing
• Staying busy
• Taking responsibility for others
• Moving away from what they actually feel
This work invites something different.
Instead of collapsing, endless overthinking and staying in the hamster wheel, I invite you to learn to stay present with yourself long enough for something deeper to shift.
There may be moments where things feel slower than your mind would like.
Moments where emotions surface.
Moments where old patterns become more visible before they release.
That does not mean something is going wrong.
Often, it means your system is no longer automatically moving into the same survival responses.
I will give you the tools to be with your emotions and move through them.
Scheduling Sessions
You can book all our sessions via this link: https://calendly.com/marisseverance/vip-session-60-min
Please only schedule one session at a time. This allows space for integration between sessions and helps us work with what is naturally unfolding in real time. At the end of each of our sessions, I’ll advise you when and how to book our next session to make sure there’s ideal space for integration and anything else that comes up in our work.
If you need to reschedule a session, please provide at least 48 hours’ notice whenever possible, via email (info@marisseverance.com).
Before Your Session
To help you arrive as present and relaxed as possible:
• Choose a quiet space where you will not be interrupted.
• Turn off notifications.
• Have water nearby.
• Keep a journal or notebook within reach.
• Give yourself a few moments to settle before we begin.
• Our sessions take place via Zoom. If you haven’t used Zoom recently, please take a moment to update the application before your session.
👉 Update Zoom
You do not need to prepare. Simply arrive as you are.
Weekly Check-Ins
An important part of our work together is the weekly email check-in. The purpose is not to analyze yourself perfectly or process every experience in detail.
Instead, check-ins help you:
• Notice what is changing
• Recognize recurring patterns
• Observe integration between sessions
• Better understand your nervous system responses
• Stay connected to yourself throughout the week
Email me on info@marisseverance.com each week (you may like to set a reminder in your calendar for the same time / day each week)
These emails can be whatever flows through you that you’d like to share. If you struggle where to start, here are some Reflection Questions that may help you get started:
• What am I noticing in myself this week?
• Where did I stay more connected to myself?
• Where did I override my own needs?
• What still feels open, activated, or unclear?
• What has shifted since our last session?
• How has the work continued to unfold throughout the week?
I respond to check-ins within 48 business hours.
Communication & Support
Between sessions, support happens primarily through the weekly check-in rhythm and any other email communication (please email info@marisseverance.com anytime).
This structure is intentional.
The work tends to unfold most clearly when there is space for integration, reflection, and self-awareness,
rather than constant processing or urgency around every emotion, realization, or challenge that arises.
You are always welcome to reach out if something important comes up.
At the same time, I encourage you to first pause, stay with yourself, and notice what is actually happening internally.
Part of this work is learning to stay connected to yourself instead of immediately moving into pressure, over-analysis, or the need to resolve everything instantly.
I respond to emails and check-ins within 48 business hours.
Important Reminders
You do not need to perform healing here.
You do not need to have everything figured out.
You do not need to do this perfectly.
Subtle shifts matter.
The moments where you pause instead of override yourself.
The moments where you stay honest instead of performing strength.
The moments where you stay connected to yourself under pressure instead of abandoning yourself to keep
moving.
This is where deeper change begins.
Confidentiality & Care
Everything shared in our sessions and email communication is treated with care, respect, and
confidentiality.
This container is designed to feel supportive, grounded, and steady while also helping you strengthen your
own inner orientation and capacity over time.
I’m Glad You’re Here
Trust yourself in this process.
You do not need to force your way through this work or have everything figured out immediately.
The more you learn to stay connected to yourself, especially in moments where you would normally move
into pressure, overthinking, or override, the more space opens for clarity, grounded movement, and deeper
transformation to emerge naturally.
Take your time.
Let the work unfold.
I’m very glad you’re here, and I look forward to walking this part of the journey with you.
