Life & Work with M. Marie of Northwest Suburbs

Today we’d like to introduce you to M. Marie.

Hi M., so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I’ve always been deeply sensitive to the energy and emotions around me. Even as a child, I could sense when someone was hurting or holding something they weren’t saying out loud. Over time, I began to realize that what I was feeling wasn’t just empathy—it was intuitive insight. I could often pick up on people’s emotional states and even sense when something was going on physically.

For years, I kept those abilities quiet, unsure how to talk about them or where they fit in the world. Over time, though, I found myself quietly helping trusted family and friends—offering insight or comfort when they were going through something. Those experiences slowly showed me that what came naturally to me could genuinely help others.

The real turning point came when my husband was facing a health issue. I was able to use my intuitive abilities to help him through that difficult time, offering insight and support in ways that surprised both of us. When he experienced the impact firsthand, he was the one who said, “Marie, this is not something you should hide—you need to share this with others.” His encouragement helped me see these gifts in a whole new light, not as something unusual or private, but as something meant to be shared.

Since then, my path has been about embracing that calling—helping others understand themselves more deeply, and creating a safe space where energy, emotion, and healing can come together in a grounded, real way. Today, I work with clients from all walks of life, using my intuitive and energetic sensitivity to help them gain clarity, find balance, and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. It’s deeply fulfilling work, and I feel grateful every day to walk alongside others on their journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. One of the biggest challenges has been navigating how others perceive healing work—especially when it involves intuition, energy healing, or Reiki. There are still people and parts of society that view these gifts through a lens of fear or misunderstanding, sometimes labeling them as “wrong” or “evil.” That’s been hard at times, but I know in my heart—and from my experience—that what I do comes from a place of deep love and connection to something greater, whether you call that Source, God, Spirit, or the Universe.

There’s such a purity in energy healing. It brings Light and clarity where there’s heaviness and helps people reconnect to their own Divine essence. So, part of my journey has been standing firm in that truth and continuing to share this work with integrity, compassion, and grounding. The more people experience the peace and healing that can come from energy healing, the more those old perceptions begin to soften and opportunities for deeper healing become accessible.

At Etheric Empowerment, that’s really the heart of what I do. I help others remember that healing isn’t something outside of them; it’s something already within, it’s just waiting to be activated and supported. Each person already holds the power to heal. I’m just here to help illuminate the path.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I work with people to help them reconnect to their own inner guidance and wisdom through the tools, teachings and energy work from a lineage that brings pure ancient techniques into the modern world for our healing and empowerment; sessions like Life Activation, Ensofic Reiki, Emotional Cord Cutting (one of my favorites), Aura Healings, Crystal Healings and Intuitive Readings just to name a few.

My work is about creating a safe, grounded space where individuals can release heaviness, gain clarity, step out of chaos, and into their own power. What I specialize in is helping people access the insight and healing that already exists within them, supporting them to see patterns, uncover blocks, and find alignment in mind, body, and spirit. I also give them practical tools to help transform their life long after our sessions together.

In addition to one-on-one work, I teach classes like Sacred Geometry (for creating a protective space), Astral Travel, Sanctuary Meditation (for connecting with your Higher Self), and Stress Rescue. All of these classes provide a safe way to connect with the spiritual side of your being, offering a very pure and clean way to command your spiritual energy that comes through the teachings of The Lineage of King Solomon.

I’m known for my ability to deeply sense and understand both emotional and energetic landscapes. From early on, I could intuitively feel what people were holding, sometimes even sensing physical or emotional struggles before they expressed them. Over time, I’ve honed that sensitivity into something practical and accessible, so people can walk away from a session or class feeling lighter, more centered, and empowered.

What I’m most proud of is seeing the transformation in the people I work with—the moments when someone recognizes their own power, feels more at peace, or experiences clarity they didn’t think was possible. That’s the heart of what I do: helping people remember that healing isn’t something outside of them—it’s already within, and I’m here to ignite that spark so they can walk through the storm and into the Light on the other side.

What sets me apart is this combination of deep intuitive sensitivity, practical guidance, compassionate presence, and honest coaching. I don’t just offer insight—I strive to create an experience where people feel truly seen, understood, and supported, and where the work aligns with their own innate wisdom. My approach is grounded, loving, and sometimes blunt but always rooted in the belief that each individual holds the ultimate power to heal and transform their life.

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I’ve taken several significant risks in my life, pursuing a path that isn’t always widely understood or socially accepted is defiantly one of them. Choosing to build a business in the field of intuition, energy healing, and spiritual guidance was a leap of faith in many ways. It required trusting my own abilities, my intuition, my relationship with God/Source Energy and the Archangels. It’s meant knowing the value of what I offer and standing by it even when others might not immediately see it, understand it, or even value it themselves.

The risks I’ve taken, both personally and professionally, haven’t always unfolded perfectly—but each one has been a meaningful opportunity to grow, learn, and engage with life more deeply. Whether the outcome was positive or challenging, every experience has expanded my compassion, understanding, wisdom, and gratitude. For me, risk-taking has never been about recklessness; it’s about trusting Divine guidance and stepping forward in faith, even when the path doesn’t fully make sense to the logical mind.

Risk-taking means listening to your whole Self—honoring both heart and mind—while thoughtfully weighing potential outcomes and choosing to move forward with courage, even when the way ahead feels scary or uncertain. The risks I’ve taken have allowed me to align more fully with my purpose, build a business rooted in meaning, and support others in accessing their own inner power.

Though there have been growing pains along the way, I’m deeply grateful for every experience. Each step into the unknown has reinforced a truth I carry into my work with clients: genuine growth and transformation require courage, faith, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. In the end, taking risks has proven to be one of the most rewarding and transformative choices I’ve made—for both my personal and spiritual evolution.
