Meet Marilynne
A Nurse, Researcher and Writer,
a Gentle Healer
Dr Marilynne Kirshbaum's practice rests on over forty years of original, published research into cancer-related fatigue and what to do about it. From that work she developed the Joyful Freedom Approach, a creative, intuitive, and scholarly way of helping people move through illness and distressing life events.
Her Energy Restoration Framework weaves together your own qualities, talents, and preferences, drawing as you wish on hypnotherapy, Reiki and more, to rejuvenate your life and fill it again with joy, freedom, confidence and life-force energy.
Beyond one-to-one sessions, Marilynne started a free-dance movement community, an embodied, somatic space for moving stuck energy and coming home to the body, another gentle path toward joy and freedom that she may revisit from time to time.
