Ways to work with Dr. Marie

Healing can begin in a room,
across a stage, or one
conversation at a time.

Three ways to work together. A common purpose: a brighter you.

  • Inspirational Speaking

    For conferences, organizations, and communities.

    A survivor of childhood sexual abuse, Dr. Marie is passionate about sharing her journey through recovery and the strategies she used to heal and pursue success in her personal and professional life. 

  • Individual Coaching

    For personalized support and post-traumatic growth.

    Dr. Marie is an experienced coach who helps women learn how to reframe the personal experiences that have created barriers to thriving in their personal and professional lives.

  • Sip & Heal

    For facilitated small-group conversation and community.

    Dr. Marie hosts small groups events across the country with women who want to have authentic conversations about their life experiences and strategies for “getting to their enough.” With these groups, we build connections, heal, and bond.

One to Many

Stories that move people
toward possibility.

Her true-to-life examples are designed to inspire and encourage others to overcome obstacles and develop a path to restoring peace-of-mind, health, happiness, and spiritual balance. She is transparent and genuine in the delivery of her speeches and draws the audience into her experience in a relatable manner.

She conducts presentations on a diverse range of topics including resilience, post-traumatic-growth, black mental health, adverse childhood experiences, and surviving and thriving through trauma. 

Throughout my journey, I have decided
that healing out loud is more cathartic
than healing in silence.

— Dr. Marie Brown-Mercadel

One to One

Build healthier beliefs. Reclaim your voice.
Move forward with intention.

Healing from trauma requires focused intention. It means making a conscious commitment to our personal wellness—not only when we are struggling, but throughout every stage of our lives.

Individual coaching provides a supportive space to focus on where you are, what may be holding you back, and where you want to go next. Drawing from her lived experience as a survivor, Dr. Marie understands the importance of finding your voice, challenging the beliefs shaped by trauma, and recognizing that your past does not have to define your future.

Using non-therapeutic, strengths-based and solution-focused strategies, coaching can help you:

  • Strengthen confidence and trust in yourself

  • Establish healthier boundaries and communicate your needs

  • Recognize and shift limiting beliefs and unhealthy patterns

  • Practice mindfulness and make more intentional choices

  • Build resilience and create opportunities for post-traumatic growth

  • Set meaningful goals and take purposeful steps toward achieving them

Together, we focus on building upon your strengths, developing healthier beliefs, and discovering new ways to move beyond the impact of past experiences.

Personal wellness is an ongoing journey. Wherever you are in that journey, you can choose to heal, grow, and move forward with intention.

Small Group & Community

Authentic conversation. Meaningful
connection. Space to heal.

Sip & Heal was inspired by Dr. Marie’s memoir, Getting to My Enough: A Story of Faith, Resilience, and Survival.

This three-hour interactive experience transforms that personal journey into a space for honest conversation, reflection, and connection. Dr. Marie shares lessons from her own healing—including the power of grace, forgiveness, self-care, and taking intentional responsibility for personal wellness.

Through guided discussion and authentic exchange, participants are encouraged to examine their own experiences, release what no longer serves them, and explore pathways toward acceptance, forgiveness, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.

Sip. Share. Reflect. Heal Out Loud.
