About
I’m Marian and I’m the founder of Somarae - a somatic wellness platform and community for personalized, real-time, stress relief and nervous system support. Powered by emotionally intelligent AI, women’s health integration, and real-world community through co-regulation events.
My journey to creating this company started 11 years ago when I overdosed and had a near-death experience. That moment was the catalyst for my transformation. It cracked me open and put me on a healing path I never expected. From that experience, I dove deep into health, wellness, and spirituality, and it completely reshaped how I live, lead, and serve.
I built a global community through Thriver Lifestyle, became a certified coach, and started guiding people through retreats, coaching containers, and leadership development. My expertise is in somatics, nervous system regulation, embodied leadership, and breathwork; helping people come back home to their bodies so they can thrive. I’m also a TEDx speaker, cacao ceremonialist and retreat facilitator who’s passionate about creating spaces (in-person and digital) where people feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Before all of this, I was in the corporate marketing world. I ran my own agency, worked as a Marketing Director for two companies, and cut my teeth in startups, corporate, tech, and law. I’ve always loved building community, creating experiential events, and bringing people together — and now I get to fuse that background with my passion for somatics and technology to create something that can help millions.
