I am truly passionate about supporting others in bringing out the best in themselves, by letting go of whatever is holding them back and tapping into the beauty and opportunity that is present in each moment.
Below are a few testimonials from recent clients.....

"Marin’s approach to growth is a unique and authentic one and I appreciated that. She soon gave me several tools and ways of thinking that I was able to use to immediately start pushing myself.
I highly recommend you connect with this lady, I will certainly be keeping her in my back pocket because I know she has so much more to give."

“Marin has helped me to become optimistic and hopeful about my life. Instead of dreading the future, I am looking forward to see what it will bring. I have a new found confidence to take control of my life and to make it into whatever I want it to be!”

“I first met Marin at a yoga class. My silent reverie was interrupted upon Marin's entrance, her smile lit up the room and she brought in with her an energy that got us up and going. She took my appreciation of yoga to a new level of physicality focused on movement and joy. My second level of engaging with Marin was when I undertook one-on-one coaching with her. She revealed an ability to model awareness, honesty, and vulnerability that compelled me to do the same as we reflected on our current state and future intentions. And finally, I am grateful to be part of exploring the philosophy of yoga and more, both in her workshops and as a reviewer of her marvelous book. Marin has helped me evolve in thought, connections and to be moving, always moving.”

“Our main goal in working together was to help me with my business; however, what I got out of our sessions together far exceeded what I had expected. Marin truly goes above and beyond for her clients. I went from scattered to grounded and overwhelmed to organized. She has an innate ability to recognize what you need and guides you to implement the necessary small changes that make a big difference in the flow of your life. I not only learned a lot about building a small business, but I also gained tools necessary for personal growth, self-trust and self-acceptance to move forward with confidence and grace. “

“Having recently completed a one-on-one intensive course with Marin, I’m astounded by her ability to distill large bodies of work into tangible teaching points and effectively communicate them. Marin’s ability to create a safe, open and comfortable space may be her biggest asset. For those looking to broaden their horizon of what deep-rooted wellness means, look no further. For those who struggle with remaining present and are seeking repose, look no further. If you want to increase the richness in moments, Marin has the tools and perspective that can materially improve your life.”
“I have worked with several Life Coaches in my past and felt like something was wrong with me because nothing seemed to work. I consistently struggle with negative self-talk, feelings of guilt for not appreciating what I have, and an overall sense that I am sleep-walking through life with a dark cloud above my head. The moment I met Marin I felt a different kind of connection. Her passion and joy for life is contagious, she leads by example in everything that she does, and opened my eyes to a new way of looking at my life and habits. Through a series of exercises, challenges, and conversations, Marin showed me how to build new habits, retrain my thought-patterns, and find my direction and purpose in life. I still have down days, and I occasionally catch myself in a negative head space, but now I have the TOOLS, the reminders, the inner-motivation, and the UNDERSTANDING of what is happening in my mind and body, and the importance of loving the struggle for what it is.
Thank you Marin for opening my eyes, pushing me to be stronger, and for being beside me every step of the way,"
“Marin McCue is a breath of fresh air. Recently, I went through a difficult period in my life (car accident, laid off, crazy roommate and dumped) all within a short time span. Things happen for a reason, and Marin came into my life at a time when I needed a bit of extra support.
Whether you have a goal you want to achieve, such as incorporating more positivity into your life, or overcome beliefs that are holding you back from your true potential, Marin offers the strategies needed to develop proactive and positive habits that build lasting life changes. In sessions with Marin she listens, doesn't judge and offers nothing but support. She goes above and beyond to support each client, customizing unique solutions to fit into your lifestyle. And there's a bonus: you get a workout in every session.
Not sure if you should hire Marin? Go for it. It is without a doubt that I recommend her."
“I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for the dopeame program. I knew I was feeling a void in my day-to-day and that I was struggling to let go of relationships that I knew weren't adding value to my life, but that was it. What I walked away with after five weeks with Marin was far beyond what I could have imagined.
Marin's words in our sessions were spoken with meaning. She is the epitome of passion when it comes to growth, development and well being. The assignments I was given sometimes made me uncomfortable (which is a good thing, don't be fooled!) and they didn't always reveal their meaning in the moment, but eventually it all started to click... And when it all starts to click, it's downright glorious.
The nightly check-ins Marin does really helped to keep me on my game and pushed me to dig deep, even when I didn't want to. I got comfortable being uncomfortable and I can honestly say I feel different, physically and emotionally.
The tools Marin provides you with go far beyond your time together. Listen, be open, be vulnerable and trust the process. I promise you, it is worth it."
"I had the pleasure of working with Marin for an extended period over the summer of 2015. When I met her I really had no idea what I was getting into - but I soon found out.
Marin’s approach to growth is a unique and authentic one and I appreciated that. She soon gave me several tools and ways of thinking that I was able to use to immediately start pushing myself.
I highly recommend you connect with this lady, I will certainly be keeping her in my back pocket because I know she has so much more to give."
"Marin and I have been friends for years - I've always admired her upbeat, friendly and encouraging energy - but it wasn't until one spin class that I really decided it was time to get "on her program."
I recently moved cities, became self-employed, moved in with my significant other and submerged myself into a crazy, but fun, travel schedule - I was exhausted from running around, days just kept passing by - I was running a rat race! I was feeling guilty 24-7 for not spending my energy and days the wanted to and felt like I was letting people down with my hectic schedule that I just couldn't get a handle on...My mind and relationships began to deteriorate.
In fours short weeks she taught me I could in fact train my mind to think things through differently - this new way was positive, uplifting and rewarding. Marin helped implement basic easy-to-do tools into my daily schedule and just like that I got control of my life again! The days started to count and I became responsible for my actions and stopped blaming others or situations for things being out of control - everything started to have a positive spin - and if it wasn't positive I was able to create positivity from it.
I do believe four weeks is not long enough to actually change 29 years of prior programming - I will work again with Marin in the near future to make sure I continue my new healthy habits! I recommend Marin to anyone and everyone. It's great to have a coach in your corner, that your best interest at heart - that wants you to be happy and succeed in all areas of your life, not matter what your goals are!"
"The month of coaching with Marin came into my life when I was in need of creating massive change: mentally, physically, and emotionally. Having big dreams of what I desire in life, lead me to feel overwhelmed and unsure of my next step in life.
Through her daily support, mind boosting activities, purposeful play and powerful presence whenever we met, I was able to get clear on what I really want to achieve with my life and surround myself with healthy practices to take me there.
Marin showed up for me as a confidant, friend and mentor. She observed situations and routines without judgment and tapped into my inner knowing to find the best solution possible. I am so grateful for her wisdom and can-do-it attitude. Thank you Marin, from the bottom of my heart, for shining bright and paving the way for others to make the most of their one precious life!
Big love!!!"
“Marin is a rock star. Her 5-week coaching and goal setting work made me feel 100% on purpose and aware of my actions. Working with her helped me prioritize my passions, so that I am constantly living what I am working towards, rather than just waiting for a far-off outcome. I am more open-minded and growth-oriented for having engaged in her coaching and I feel better! This work has given me the confidence and courage to fully step into my life, and keep organized and happy doing it. Marin's also an excellent fitness companion and adventurer. We tried aerial yoga together and hung upside down and did savasana suspended in the air; talk about getting a different perspective! I would highly recommend Marin's support and coaching work to anyone who's interested in learning how mindfulness, daily routines, and goals can become an inspiring and uplifting part of your life." -
“After giving birth and battling a dose of postpartum, I was left feeling unconfident, defeated, anxious, confused and very sad. It was not until I worked with Marin that I began to let the light shine in my life once again. Marin helped guide me to love myself again, let go of perfection, accept myself, be more compassionate with myself and let go of ridiculous thought patterns that were nothing but anxiety and made up stories that I was telling myself, which was beating myself down. She has an incredible way of making everything make sense from how the brain works, to how we interperate life's experiences, to ridiculous negative thought patterns that hold us back from reaching our true potential. Marin has helped me restore my faith in myself, reset my goals and mindset and I now feel like I am fearless and unstoppable! Thank you Marin."
“I've worked with Marin on two different occasions now. Her approach to coaching allows me to identify for myself the areas of my life I'd like to change, where I need more strength, and where I need to celebrate more. I appreciate her gentle but effective daily reminders while we were working together. She coached me in a way that was compatible with my personality, recognizing my need for encouragement, and respecting my need for time. I feel stronger, clearer, and more determined after working with Marin and highly recommend her to anyone who is feeling 'stuck' or who desires to reinvent their life, or who wants to feel more joy and success in general."
“Prior to starting work with Marin in late 2015, I had met with and talked to over half a dozen coaches; however, once I met Marin, I knew that she was the right coach for me. After working with Marin for over three months, I can definitely say I made the right choice and that she is an awesome coach!
Marin takes a very hands on approach to her coaching and gets really invested in her client's work and progress. Whether it was offering to have me co-host a workshop with her, or suggesting and connecting me with many potential guests for my web show, Marin is always in my corner doing whatever she can to support and push me forward.
I also really like Marin's general life philosophy of adopting a growth mindset, and using our natural body and brain chemistry to really help increase our happiness and chances of success. I think my biggest learning from working with Marin was the increased awareness of how negative story telling has often held me back, and from working with her, that is definitely a habit that is changing!
If you are looking for an incredibly positive, supportive and idea filled coach to have in your corner, look no further than Marin!"
“I started to see Marin at a time when I felt completely disconnected from my professional and personal life - my depression was creeping back into my everyday life, I had isolated myself from all personal connections and was losing control and sight of the career/business I had built. Having done my fair share of psychotherapy growing up, I was reluctant to go back to traditional therapy but I was also skeptical about 'coaching.' My sister is a psychologist and encouraged me to try a Mind-Body coach. She explained 'psychologists focus on the past, coaches focus on the future'. Marin and I started weekly sessions; her daily attention, knowledge and unique personal approach to every client's struggles helped me refocus my mind and energy and finding 'myself' again. Marin didn't make me feel as though I were broken and needed fixing, instead she empowered and helped me to tap into my already existing strengths. Marin is knowledgeable, compassionate and kind - I am so grateful to have had an opportunity to work with her and can not recommend her enough!"
“I first met Marin at one of her ‘word of the year’ workshops. I was inspired by her words of wisdom and taken by her compassion and positive energy. It wasn’t until a year later when I reached out to Marin for some personal coaching. I was scattered and overwhelmed in all areas of my life; working full time, in school part time, trying to start a business and take care of myself with whatever time/energy I had left. Our main goal in working together was to help me with my business; however, what I got out of our sessions together far exceeded what I had expected. Marin truly goes above and beyond for her clients. I went from scattered to grounded and from overwhelmed to organized. She has an innate ability to recognize what you need and guides you to implement the necessary small changes that make a big difference in the flow of your life. I not only learned a lot about building a small business, but I also gained tools necessary for personal growth, self-trust and self-acceptance to move forward with confidence and grace. I highly recommend Marin as a coach in whatever endeavor you pursue and I will most definitely hire her again in the future to take my business/personal growth to a new level."
“I could probably write a short novel about how my life has improved and the things I have learned while working with Marin, but I will summarize.
I have learned to focus my energy on the good things in my life, on what I want more of. I have learned that my struggles are opportunities to learn and grow. I have learned that I am worth it, that I have something important to contribute to the world.
Marin has helped me to become optimistic and hopeful about my life. Instead of dreading the future, I am looking forward to see what it will bring. I have a new found confidence to take control of my life and to make it into whatever I want it to be!"
“I started the dope(a)me coaching program at a time when I was feeling powerful and limitless. I have big goals but at the time, didn't feel like I had the tools or skills to fully pursue them. My time with Marin will forever be known as a pivotal moment in my life as it was when I learnt to be grateful for the good and embrace the ugly. Marin's approach and style allowed me to be fully vulnerable and helped me understand what I need to be thinking about and doing in the pursuit of happiness. The program provided me with many 'aha' moments and every session with Marin was enlightening. In hindsight, I am most thankful for the tools and skills I built as they have helped me through some the tougher times and I'm feeling resilient and grateful.
With Marin, I felt that I was fully supported, fully believed in and totally capable to contribute so much to the world. Any time with Marin is special; a spin class, a coffee date and especially her coaching program. I'm grateful for all that Marin provided me and I'm elated to put some of my learnings to work. I honestly get giddy at the thought of others having the opportunity to learn what Marin shared with me. This program was an excellent investment and I've gained a life long confident cheerleader and friend."
“My experience working with Marin was one that I will never forget. She was the catalyst that I needed to spin my life back into motion after years of struggling to make some difficult changes in my life. I had been battling an eating disorder, depression, and anxiety for years. I felt completely hopeless before working with her. Her vulnerability, courage, and positivity was infectious, leaving me exhilarated after every session. With time, I felt my true, authentic self shining through. Marin pushed me out of my comfort zone, made a safe space for me to cry, and taught me to embrace some of the most challenging moments I’ve experienced. There are not enough words to express the admiration and love I have for her and all that she does for herself and others. The first step was asking her for help, and it was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. Every day I choose myself, truly believing that my life is worth living. Thank you for everything Marin."
“Marin’s passion for helping me get through a tough time was very apparent. I felt Marin knew when to push a little harder and challenge me and when to step back with empathy. She has a strong knowledge base, backs it up with science and knows how to apply it. I feel like Marin truly “walks her talk”, which I think makes her genuine, open and able to give practical suggestions. I am grateful for the time I spent with Marin.”
