Guiding You Through Every Step of Your Recovery
At Core Aliveness Recovery, we address all four significant areas: mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. Recovery requires much more than abstinence from the downward spiral of addiction. The statistics prove that there are few who are able to achieve a change sufficient enough to create real freedom from chemical dependency and ultimately live a flourishing and satisfying life.
Many who value their lives have reaped the benefits of working with a professional sobriety coach. A sobriety or recovery coach assists those who are stuck in unhealthy behavior patterns to break free so they can regain their power of choice which equips them to lead fulfilling lives. The end-goal is to experience the joy of living not simply to live without substances.
About Core Aliveness
Core Energetics is a specific body-centered (somatic) psychotherapy process that works with life energy. The “Core” is defined as the innermost center of an individual’s being—the seat of the true self, consciousness and divine life energy. It represents a positive, creative and loving power that, when unblocked, drives an individual toward pleasure, growth and connection.
I call my recovery coaching practice Core Aliveness in honor of my favorite mentor Ann Bradney who founded the Radical Aliveness Institute in Southern California. In 2012 , I completed her innovative 4 year certification training program which left an indelible imprint on me and inspired me to launch my company.
This is what true recovery is—the reclaiming of our ‘core of aliveness’ and the resultant benefits of living in awareness of it and from it as best we can. Thus, I named my coaching practice Core Aliveness signifying the free flowing of energy and consciousness which emerges through the efforts of this type of transformation process which I facilitate and offer.
Who This is For
You might be sober-curious, newly sober, navigating a relapse, or years into recovery and wanting something more. Wherever you are, this is a space where you can be honest about what’s working, what’s not, and what you truly need next.
How We Work Together
We focus on what will actually move your life forward.
Together, we clarify what matters most to you and translate that into a program tailored to your needs with realistic, weekly steps. Alongside that structure, I integrate mindfulness and body-based practices to help you regulate stress, process emotions, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
This isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about learning how to respond differently. As we work, you’ll begin to build resilience, shift old patterns, and develop a steadier sense of confidence and self-trust.
At the Core
Recovery is not just about stopping a behavior. It’s about reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable.
My role is to support you with both skill and care—so you can move forward with clarity, stability, and a deeper sense of aliveness.
My journey with Marielle has been wonderful. It is been a deeply profound experience for me. My abilities have grown and developed exponentially. I have learned to honor the wisdom of the body, as well as the very deepest desires of my heart. I have grown into greater self-love and self-acceptance. My life has changed because of this.
