About Me

Welcome! I’m Marsha, an intuitive healer, guide, and founder of Awena Retreat. My passion is helping individuals navigate their unique journeys of healing, self-discovery, and personal transformation. It is my greatest honor to hold space for others as they reconnect with their inner strength, find clarity, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My Journey

Before stepping into the world of healing, I spent many years traveling the globe as a photographer and photo director. Immersed in the fast-paced creative industry, I eventually reached a pivotal moment where I knew I needed a change. During a particularly challenging chapter of my life, I experienced the profound impact of healing for the first time. That experience inspired a deep exploration of the transformative power of healing and set me on a new path.

Over the years, I’ve trained extensively in a variety of healing modalities, mentored by extraordinary teachers who have guided me toward a deeper understanding of this work. My experience in palliative care, supporting patients and families during some of life’s most difficult transitions, has been especially rewarding and has shaped my ability to provide compassionate, meaningful support to those in need.

These experiences inspired the creation of Awena Retreat, a sanctuary to step away from the demands of daily life and reconnect with themselves. Whether through individual healing sessions, immersive retreat stays, or ongoing guidance, Awena Retreat is a space designed to nurture self-reflection, healing, and renewal.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

Healing is not one-size-fits-all, and I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are in their journey. My approach is intuitive and tailored, grounded in a deep commitment to supporting emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Whether you’re feeling stuck, looking for direction, or seeking to heal emotional wounds, I provide a safe and nurturing space where transformation can unfold at your own pace.

Healing for Animals

My passion for healing extends to animals as well. From childhood, I’ve had a profound connection with animals, especially horses. Through intuitive healing, I’ve been fortunate to support the well-being of many animals, strengthening the bonds they share with their human companions. It’s a privilege to give back to these remarkable beings who bring so much love and joy into our lives.
