Who is Marianne?

Marianne is an enthusiastic and idealistic friend of people, animals and nature. Her infectious lust for life and special resilience are inspiring to people. Her mission is: to guide people with great respect in their process of self-acceptance and self-love, including by showing them how to change “weakness” into strength.

Her strong connection with nature also makes her happy. Also due to yoga, she leads a beautiful and powerful life

For example, the bedouin life she led in the Jordanian and Egyptian desert was an unforgettable and rich experience.
