Marion Stork M.A.. CCC, RCT, CPCC
Certified Canadian Counsellor,
Nova Scotia Registered Counselling Therapist,
Certified Professional Co-Active Coach

I am a Counselling Therapist and Life Coach in private practice with over 25 years experience in a variety of contexts. I have been facilitating Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction groups since 2001.

The threads that run through my work are these questions:
• What wakes us up?
• How do we meet life's challenges with awareness, compassion and courage?
• How do we cultivate a fulfilling life with satisfying relationships?

These questions have led me to professional training in the precise and effective methods of Transactional Analysis, Redecision Therapy, Co-active Coaching, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Focusing, to name a few. They have also inspired 30 years of mindfulness meditation practice, and exploration into the mind/body connection through the practices of yoga and chi gong.

The photos on this website are examples of my photography. Contemplative photography is a way to wake up to the beauty in everyday life.
