Words from Our ClientsÂ
"I can literally say meeting Marcia has saved my life from the effects of an abusive narcissistic system I was living in and was trying to get out of. First, through BetterHelp’s Amazing Grace Support Group, and then through her private program, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Program (which has since become Pathways to Peace). I have found true support, empathy, and compassion from Marcia holding the space for Grace, acceptance, and healing; this experience has surpassed my own & other’s expectations and I feel it is safe to say, surpassed even Marcia’s expectations of what any of us thought it would or could offer.
Through this group experience and its informal methods of empathy, love, and connection, and through learning the more instructive, predictable patterns of the narcissist, combined with the continuing support and validation of group participants, we find the opposite of isolation, gaslighting, financial and emotional control that so many of us have and are experiencing. We have learned and are learning to trust ourselves and each other as we each take our own individual & collective steps towards healing. We are building the caring and loving family that many of us have never experienced- and we are rebuilding our own lives in the process of healing. It is a process, a journey, and we are taking our “baby steps” towards self-love and self-trust, as painful and unfamiliar as they are- we are taking those steps in Grace. We call it Tribe Amazing Grace- Pathways to Peace. That is what we call it now- it is learning how to see yourself through the eyes of someone who holds you dear and with love and kindness, listens to the hurt, the damage that you feel, and encourages you to take each step towards your own good heart. We are no longer victims, we are now survivors in the truest sense of the word- and we take that Grace and pay it forward pouring our love, kindness, and support into each other, as best we can. We no longer feel the fear, uncertainty or invalidation through the eyes of the narcissist; we now are learning to see ourselves with our own eyes, to see our true selves as we are, as courageous, full of love and goodness, for ourselves and each other.
So anyone who finds themselves in the narcissistic loop of gaslighting, invalidation, isolation, and flying monkeys, in short, narcissistic abuse, can also find themselves in the opposite state of being, can find themselves in Tribe Amazing Grace- Pathways to Peace. It is a journey to our own good hearts- we are traveling together."

"The fact that you are here, reading this, says that you are questioning your situation and are looking for resources and information. I did exactly the same thing because I just knew I was the only person on Planet Earth who had ever been treated the way I had and had resorted to the good ole internet to find anything to help! Oh, talk to my friends? If you're like me, you've been isolated and can't confide in anyone, or there is so much shame, anger and fear that you wouldn't even if you had a huge circle of friends. Guess what? You ARE NOT alone.Â
Marcia has the experience, compassion and real-world expertise to help. She is kind but genuine, supportive without enabling, and knows that every person runs their own race. If you leave your situation, if you don't, if you can't, or if you just need a safe place to figure it all out, you've found it. An investment in Marcia's services is an investment in YOU. And if no one tells you, hear this- you are enough, every single minute of every single day, you are enough and you will be okay!"

"Joining the Passage to Peace (P2P) program was a pivotal moment in my healing journey. I got married at a young age to my former spouse, who seemed to know exactly what to say to draw me in. Through P2P, I learned that this manipulative tactic is called love bombing.
Being surrounded by Marcia, her team, and others who had endured narcissistic abuse created a space where I felt understood and supported. Our shared experiences built a sense of community—we leaned on each other, encouraged one another, and grew stronger together.
Now, three years into my healing journey, I’ve reentered the dating world with a sharper perspective. Red flags that once eluded me are now clear, and I’m equipped with strategies that will guide me for the rest of my life. Most importantly, I’ve regained my confidence. I no longer see myself as a victim but as a survivor who has come out stronger than ever.
The connections I made in P2P have been life-changing. I’ve formed lasting friendships with my cohort, and I’ll always be grateful to Marcia and her team for their unwavering support and care.
You're the best,
Cheers!"
