Meet Marissa Lynch, Women's Life Coach

There was a time when I had one clear goal: to leave my full-time job and run my massage business full time. I was working 12-hour days, seven days a week, cramming everything in and giving so much of myself to my work and the people around me. I thought that was just how it was meant to be.

​

Then my body stopped me. I developed the worst eczema flare-ups of my life. I wasn't sleeping, I was exhausted from the inside out and eventually my hair started falling out. When my doctor signed me off sick, I felt like I'd failed. At the time, I didn't see how I was feeling as something that needed my attention. I saw it as something getting in the way.

​

Recovery wasn't one dramatic transformation. But as I slowly started putting time, energy and attention back into myself, things began to change, and I went on to achieve the goal I'd been chasing all along.

​

Through my massage clients, I kept hearing the same story: women who had accepted exhaustion, poor sleep and feeling lost as their normal, and felt guilty for putting themselves first. There was only so much we could explore in a massage appointment. They needed more time and space. That's what led me into coaching and, later, my women's workshops.

​

Today, whether I'm working one-to-one, with a room full of women or speaking to a larger audience, my purpose is the same: to help women understand themselves better, get clear on what they want and make realistic changes to their life, career, business or relationships.
