takes you to a whole new level of truth,
sustainability, and joy that logic, reason,
and practicality could never touch.
For the creative, spiritual, ambitious woman 40+ being intuitively led to a new phase in life, a new you, a more evolved you, see if this lands with your heart…
Reinvention takes courage.
Clarity comes in layers. It took nearly a year to clarify my new personal brand identity — because it wasn’t just a business decision. It was a soul-level transition.
Even after working in the personal brand space for over 30 years, gratefully, I had a hunch, but still was not there yet.
Then I asked: Who is Marla at this stage in life? What do I want more of? What do I let go of? What brings me joy? What are my non-negotiables?
The answers came over a year… until one moment brought it all together —I took the leap of faith and booked a brand photoshoot with Catherine Della Ripa, a highly recommended local photographer.
The photoshoot captured the woman I’ve become. Looking through the final photos made all the difference and clarity showed up.
Refined. Reimagined. Liberated. Follow My Joy.
How does this translate for you?
We may be a fit if…
You've been in business for 2-20 + years and you are ready and COMMITTED to creating your next level of success and revenues while living a laptop lifestyle.
You seek a more innovative, intuitive, and progressive way to make an impact for your clients or customers.
You are ready for your NEXT level of impact and income if this is attractive to you.
Identifying and implementing new success habits, renewing your creativity, developing a leveraged business model supported by a qualifying sales system, discovering your genius zone for more fulfilment, and especially transforming your relationship with money (wealth consciousness) that results in a dignified self-worth, self-value, and empowering money conversations.
You’ve had an idea for a while needing more exploration and a sounding board to speak your thoughts out loud.
You want to see it come to fruition, alive, and out into the world, but something happened along the way in the creative process to slow it down.
As a high achieving, spiritual woman, I aspire for you to live and work from a blend of both Feminine & Masculine energy with Feminine leading the way.
You will learn to see, feel, and experience through coaching that there is a dynamic dance between power & play as you redesign how you operate in your life and business without neglecting your feminine self nor diluting your edge.
The new paradigm of success is:
Desires + Goals = Success + Transformation.
It’s the foundation of my Creative Achievement Formula, and the core of how I help women reinvent how they live and work—with feminine energy and traits leading the way.
I created it out of my own serious breakdown to breakthrough in 2017 that led to a reinvention by following my desire to Florence, Italy for a month-long stay—and how that changed everything.
As I guide you through this process, you will come to understand:
- The reason your desires matter just as much as your goals
- What happens when you prioritize pleasure, play, spirituality, and intuition as part of your life and business strategy
- Why suppressing your feminine gifts keeps you disconnected from yourself, others, your highest creativity and vitality – and how to reclaim them with joy and power – a lasting transformation.
- Are you READY to make what you most dream about happen? And, get clear on what that dream and next chapter is?
I serve women 40+ by guiding them how to listen to and use their intuition as a reliable and essential resource helping them design their next life chapter and create a renewed belief in their dreams.
Symptoms of frustration, uncertainty, and in-decision nudge you internally to cause a lingering, daily discontent. It’s time to honor your dreams, desires, and discover who you are meant to be at this season in your life.
The good news about the symptoms of discontent is it gives you an opening for creative renewal in the way you think, feel, and imagine your life to be.
I call it a season of becoming. You are ready for something new to marvel at in your life – a new direction or an up-level.
There is no waiting for the perfect moment to leap or make the change. That is your logical mind trying to calculate your change.
There is no logic in going after desires and dreams. This is all heart and intuition based. It’s time to trust your intuitive hunches to take action now.

What my clients are saying…
“Core to my money beliefs prior to coaching included the myth that having an abundance of money meant there was a lack of creativity involved. It was an either/or statement. Now, I come from creativity first and truly welcome an abundance of money spearheading my vision.
Marla helped me create both a qualifying sales funnel system to determine the kind of clients I want to work with first and foremost.
I stand for my worth — and am not willing to offer any cut rates, discounts, barters, or negotiated rates. Marla also helped me determine the kinds of strategic offerings that will escalate my business. I have shifted perspective on client engagement because of it.”
"Since implementing my new rates and Marla’s qualifying sales system, I have experienced my highest month of income in my seven years of business at $14,000 in just one month. And we are on track to hit almost that amount again this month!
I am now standing in my worth, believing that I am an expert in my industry, and have established and maintained boundaries with my clients.”
"The two months during the program coincided with my largest earning months of my business to date and I booked my largest jobs to date (2 booking over $4,000 apiece from $2,800 base package price). I made $12k in one weekend. I raised the rates on all of my packages and no one has asked for a discount or tried to negotiate with me on rates.”
“My business took a hit as a result of Covid, like many businesses. Not exclusive to my business or industry. I was getting frustrated around money. Why is money not coming in? Why can’t I achieve the sales I am accustomed to? Why, why? Then I was referred to Marla from a colleague of mine and that’s when things began to turn around.
Marla pointed out to me I had a block around money. So, I applied the techniques she has taught me in my personal life and business and, a MIRACLE happened, a blessing, a gift! From that point on, April-December 2021, my revenues escalated with ending the year well beyond my financial goals!”
"In the brief few weeks, I have acquired 6 new clients at my higher rate, created a strong list of professionals who I have contacted and gained their commitment to providing strong referrals to prospective clients and have developed a higher frequency of self-worth and balance."
