hello :)

I'm Maryann and I live in Thailand with my young son. I moved here from the UK just over a year ago when I knew I needed space and time to create this new modality.

I'm lucky to live surrounded by warm ocean and jungle, and to work out of an incredible retreat centre called Spirit Mountain, that also does wonderful ecological restoration work with local communities.

My path

For many years now I've straddled a path: of coaching teams and leaders within corporate organisations; and feeling pulled toward more therapeutic, inner work one on one. I am fascinated by what brings us into wholeness, peace and purpose.

I trained in InternaI Family Systems (IFS) and recieved a Level 1 IFS certification with the IFS Institute. IFS resonated deeply with me, particularly its map of the psyche which feels real and complete. But in practice, I found that many people struggle with the method’s central requirement: identifying parts, tracking them, and hearing them clearly through dialogue. Even though the framework felt right, the access point could be difficult, for myself included.

I began looking for approaches that could reach the same inner terrain with less pressure and less reliance on words. I trained in Pranic Healing, which works through the energy body. It taught me a great deal about subtle perception and regulation, but for my own temperament it felt too abstract on its own. I wanted a bridge between the energy body and the psyche.

I explored Jungian depth psychology, by undertaking a year-long Individuation process - Individuation is the principal psychological and ethical imperative of Jungian psychology. It involves an intense symbolic descent and return - meeting what has been split off, exiled, buried. That journey became a core foundation of the work I now offer. And although Carl Jung was a psychiatrist he was really more interested in matters of the soul. Seeing the way his work straddles the mystical and the clinical gave me a permission to do the same with my work. The Resonance Arc method is informed by trauma science and parts work, but it also bears a remarkable similarity to Shamanic Soul Retrieval: the journey to discover and return lost aspects of the self.

I then became interested in Constellation work, drawn by how it maps relational patterns in the embodied physical realm, and the way something can be felt and “known” to be "true" beyond linear narrative. Some aspects of traditional family constellations didn’t sit so well with me though — the rigid interpretive frameworks didn’t match my own experience. What did feel important, however, was the phenomenon itself: when a person encounters their internal relational world in a live, embodied way, something can shift without explanation.

I started searching for other ways of working with 'the field'. I trained in Identity-Oriented Psychotrauma Therapy/Theory (IoPT). IoPT uses a "Self-Encounter" method to explore one's psyche in relation to a particular issue. It helped me see how powerfully a system can respond when inner dynamics are approached through resonance rather than conversation. But at the same time I felt the model of psyche used seemed overly simplistic compared to the IFS model, and I could see in every session IFS parts coming forward. I also struggled with the practitioner stance that seemed embedded in the modality — a tendency to frame what appears in strongly pathologising terms, or to push for history and labels too quickly. I noticed it could have the effect of inadvertently increasing shame or inner rejection.

And yet, something important was happening. People often experienced relief. Over time I became clearer about why: the relief didn’t seem to come from diagnosing what was wrong. It came from the moment a person felt truly met — when something inside was witnessed without pressure, without performance, and without being forced into a clinical story.

That insight became one of the foundations of the Resonance Arc Method: a structured way to work through resonance and attunement, with the IFS pysche model as the basis, while keeping the stance that makes change possible — respect, permission, and a nervous system that is simply witnessed and no longer under demand.

My style

I work with a lot of silence, it can feel unnerving for clients to be doing what seems to feel like so little, when most therapy and coaching demand so much "work" and "efforting". But you will feel welcomed, reassured, and safe. We will start with a quick orientation call first, so you can ask questions and understand more about what to expect. Then in each session we will take some time for your nervous system to settle first, for parts that need to talk or explain or feel reassured to have their place. I work with deep respect for protector parts.

My method has roots in older ways of understanding healing — there is work going on that isn't apparant or obvious, that takes its own time. I will be noticing for when the system is met properly, and something returns: capacity, warmth, agency, presence. If you’ve always felt that healing is more than talk, you’ll likely understand what I mean.
