Testimonials: A Journey Back to Self-Love

Rev. Brian Walker - Working with Marilyn, I got important insights about how to meet my spiritual needs, and, more importantly, inspiration from someone whom I see “walkin their talk.” I recommend Marilyn’s work without hesitation.

Holly C. - Marilyn’s Self Love Mastery workshop reminded me that I care for myself when I set boundaries for others. I kept the nourishment menu handout that Marilyn provided at the workshop, and I refer to it as I need it, especially when I feel overwhelmed by my busy life. Her workshop helped remind this single mother that my inner peace is essential to avoid burnout, and that I have the power to attain it!

Janet D. - Marilyn is someone who truly walks her talk. In my experience, her commitment to self-love, presence, and mindful living is not something she simply speaks about, it’s something she consistently lives. Whether teaching yoga, working with children in schools or offering courses or speaks within church communities, she brings the same authenticity, kindness, and grounded care to every space she enters. Having come to know Marilyn through shared spaces and conversations over time, I have found that the person you see is truly the person you get. She teaches from lived experience, integrity, and genuine care for others. The work she offers reflects who she is, thoughtful, sincere, and deeply committed to supporting others on their own paths.

Yoshimi M. - Marilyn was my buddy during the Mastery of Self Love course by Janet Altwood and the mastermind group right after the course. She was going through her dark night of the soul time of divorce, and I witnessed her deep emotional struggle with her emerging beautiful self-love. I eventually followed her path of getting a divorce, through which I received fully loving support from her and other mastermind group members. I also took her Chakra healing yoga class online. I was amazed by her expertise in yoga practice, as well as her deep knowledge of chakras (she published her book on the subject!). Her instruction was easy to understand, kind, and supportive for my stiff and inflexible body.

Anne E. - Working with Marilyn is like coming home to yourself. She holds space for healing in the heart, mind, and spirit — blending spirituality, energy awareness, and embodiment practices so transformation becomes natural and lasting. Her work helps you peel back layers of fear and self-doubt to rediscover your wholeness. And my journey isn’t over — I’m continuing to work with Marilyn to uncover my dreams and step into this new chapter of my life with confidence, purpose, and love. Marilyn reminds you that self-love isn’t selfish — it’s sacred. Through her guidance, you learn to trust your soul, open your heart, and remember your light.

Jeanne "Bean" Murdock, Storyteller: comedy writer/performer - I edited Marilyn's first book, Chakra Tools of Transformation. I learned a lot and applied concepts to my own life. It's been fun to watch Marilyn's personal and professional evolution. She is strong, determined, ambitious, and eager to lead others through their growth. I am inspired after every conversation with her.
