What our clients are saying
"I have worked out my most important values and I have aligned my finances and how I manage my money to create a life that I love"
"For the last few years, I have had the goal of getting in to the property market. The end of the year would roll around and I would say to myself ânext year, next year will be the yearâ. Going into 2024 I said âThis year I AM buying a propertyâ and thanks to the work I have done with Marion, on May 28th this year I will be settling on an investment property.
I met Marion when I signed up to do the first Buyer Get Ready program. During a one-on-one mindset session with Marion, I went in talking about my anxiety and how I wanted to make sure I made the absolute perfect (haha) decision to put not only my own savings to work, but also the money I had inherited from my dad.
With Marion's guidance, I have worked out my most important values and I have aligned my finances and how I manage my money to create a life that I love and by doing this I have also regained the sense of safety that I felt I had lost- which has enabled me to move forward.
More importantly, I have been able to feel secure with all the knowledge I have learnt about property, realising I am not an expert in property I wasnât prepared to âhave a go â or wing it. I have chosen a path that felt good to me to by property and have been supported with a trusted team of experts from buyersâ advocates, to lending experts and Property strategist.
Buying a property is such a big decision and expense, I think its important that all women look at the whole picture before they make a purchasing decision they donât have expertise in. I highly recommend Marion as a guide and mentor for all things property."

"I have a greater level of confidence and sense of responsibility around money and I now welcome bigger money challenges to solve."
"I engaged Marion as my Money Coach right at the start of launching my business, as I wanted guidance and support to learn how to better manage and grow money, and set things off on the right path.
Whilst I was already a student of âmoneyâ and had made some strides in educating myself around money and âfinlitâ, I had no idea of how interwoven money actually is into the fabric of our world.
Marion helped me to get to the very core, clear the stories from which my lens of money was formed and how projected outcomes of having or not having money had been castâŚand from here we began.
- I got clear on my 3 highest values - I LOVE how now, reflecting a few months on, I am living these every single day. These values are what inform my daily MO.
- Armed with the understanding that physical and financial health are deeply linked, I began working with a personal trainer. A few months in and am feeling lighter (dropped 6kg so literally AM lighter) stronger, and more vibrant and energised.
- My credit score is rising and is now in the âexcellentâ zone (was âgoodâ)
- I have established an emergency fund and an income buffer. How empowering to be financially bulletproof (well almost, on my way ;)!
- Iâve (almost) got all my money and legal affairs in order.
- All my financial commitments are now âset and forgetâ which has freed up so much mental energy, so I can focus on expansion and growing my business.
On top of all these tangible results, what Iâm most excited about is how I think about and approach money. Iâve had a few unexpected bills (not insignificant) come in recently, and whereas before I may have gone into a mild panic, now I sit with it, I think about it, I look at all options, then work out a manageable way to pay it, and then automate it so it's taken care of.
After working with Marion, I have a greater level of confidence and sense of responsibility around money and I now welcome bigger money challenges to solve.
Thanks Marion. I'm mega grateful for your wisdom, guidance and support."

"Marion has not only opened my eyes but has set me on a path towards a more empowered and intentional relationship with money."
"Marion Mays, my money coach, has been a game-changer for me. She skilfully guided me through a transformative journey, unveiling deep-seated patterns of behaviour and internal wiring that had been steering my relationship with money. By shedding light on elements from my past, Marion revealed that my 6-year-old self had been at the wheel, influencing my adult financial decisions.
Marion's approach is nothing short of refreshing; it swiftly led me to the root of the problem. This newfound awareness has empowered me to make different choices, breaking free from my regular patterns and paving the way for positive change. While I'm still in the early stages of this transformative process, I eagerly anticipate witnessing the tangible fruits of these changes over the next year. Marion has not only opened my eyes but has set me on a path towards a more empowered and intentional relationship with money."

"I am so grateful to Marion for the life-changing effect it has had on my life... Marion's Foundations of Wealth program is like no other offering out there."
"I am so grateful to Marion for the life-changing effect it has had on my life. As a professional successful business woman and mother, on the outside I seemed to be winning, but I knew within that despite how much I earned my life and outcomes with Money were not where I had imagined I would be at this stage in my life.
When I first met Marion I knew I had stumbled across a force to be reckoned with. Her tenacity to drag me out of la la land and into my reality was like nothing I have ever experienced. From the get go it was clear Marion wanted nothing but the best for my future financial self.
Her passion for helping women knows no bounds but more than that, she has all the tangible finance credentials as well as all of the psychological insights that cut through with ease into results . Within the first two weeks of meeting Marion I had a complete shift in the way I approached and thought about money. She unlocked an awareness of my money mindset I never knew existed.
Today, two properties on, with a robust emergency fund and growing investment muscle I feel like our meeting was meant to be. It continues to unlock so much more in my life and I am hugely grateful to Marion for her patience as I grappled to shift my outdated mindset towards money."

"I changed both my story, beliefs, and real-life outcomes with money."
"As an artist, I believed I could do my passion working in the performing arts or choose to earn money, but certainly not both. The term struggling artist had been a lived experience for me.
In early 2023 I committed to working with Marion, to reprogram my beliefs about what was possible for me when it came to money and to upskill my financial capability. Iâm happy to say because of this work I changed both my story, beliefs, and real-life outcomes with money.
Today I have financial literacy, I understand money. I have a simple system that takes care of paying all my bills automatically on time, whilst making sure I am enjoying my money now and taking care of future Suze. I have all the financial adulting stuff sorted.
And if that is not proof enough, armed with my new mindset & relationship with money I bought my very first home in my own name. I continue to work in the arts and now know I can do so whilst building wealth for myself and my future security."

"By freeing up space & setting up my financial future I was able to secure business deals valued @ half a million dollars."
"Marion is an absolute rockstar. I sought out her help as soon as I went into business to clear up old money stories and any anything in the way of creating a successful business and financial future. I got so much more than expected.
Firstly, I freed up a lot of mental real estate by automating my money management, I've cleared some big debts with her help, expanded my money IQ and I now have emergency fund, income buffers and an investment plan established all within the first 6 months of starting business.
The other incredible thing is that by freeing up this space & setting up my entire financial future I was able to secure business deals valued @ half a million dollars at least. I really do not believe that would have been possible if I had not done the financial cleanup prior.
Thank you again Marion for everything you bring, anyone who hasn't mastered their money stuff and lets face it that would be 99% of people, should work with Marion and do this level of work. Financial literacy is a much needed in the world, it can save lives, marriages and your mental health."

"Marion's work challenged those beliefs, opened my eyes and my capacity to hold and honour money."
"I came in loaded with limiting beliefs around money, so much so, I couldn't actually see the money I already had and was making.
I was in a scarcity mindset, holding onto money, not paying myself enough to live and Marion's work challenged those beliefs, opened my eyes and my capacity to hold and honour money.
From thinking money wasn't for me and that I didn't have a seat at the table, to sorting out the flow of money, to investing, to enhancing my money IQ - it changed the game for me!"

"I doubled my annual revenue and created healthier work/life boundaries."
"It felt somewhat daunting and edgy to lean into a financial literacy program but I knew in my heart that it was the next area of life that I needed to give devotional intentional focus to in order to release limiting programming, deepen my education and expand into new potentials.
Working with Marion over three intensive months was challenging in all the right ways. I was challenged to become incredibly honest with where I was at and the financial trajectory that I was on. I was challenged to release limiting stories and change behavioural patterns that were sabotaging my true success. I was challenged to see my higher potential and believe in myself in ways I had yet been able to. I was challenged to take greater accountability and responsibility for my life and cultivate a respectful relationship with money. All challenges worth meeting and held with love.
I know that the work I invested in with Marion quantum leaped me into a new financial paradigm. The year following I doubled my annual revenue and created healthier work/life boundaries. I will be forever grateful for the work I was able to do with Marion and trust the efforts will continue to pay off over the coming years. Not only did my relationship with money change for the better but so did my vision for the future and the value I place on my life.
I highly recommend working with Marion and her team. They are genuinely passionate supportive and deeply caring. They see your highest potential, believe in you and celebrate your expansion."

"Since meeting Marion Iâve accumulated a diverse investment portfolio including multiple properties."
"During 2020 I participated in Marion's 90 day VIP mentorship program. Before meeting Marion I thought money was complicated. I thought I wasnât intelligent enough to manage my finances on my own. She helped me overcome my money story, my limiting beliefs and her mentorship along with the support of the wider group of women gave me great confidence in my own abilities and financial education. Since meeting Marion Iâve accumulated a diverse investment portfolio including multiple properties. Marion is an extremely generous mentor, educator, advocate and friend. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with her."

"We have improved our financial literacy and are bringing our children with us on the journey."
"Completing our 90-day couplesâ course with Marion has brought us a wealth of results (pun intended!).
We were in a precarious position, not knowing which way to go. We have come through at the end with clear goals and the relief of knowing we have taken care of our family. Not only do we have a clear understanding of our values and how to align this with our financial goals, we have improved our financial literacy and are bringing our children with us on the journey.
We set up our foundations so that we have a strong platform to work from and are now able to move forward more confidently. We also have learnt to form new money habits and to have fun along the way!"

"Marion and her professional team gave me the confidence and education to develop my financial literacy and accelerate a plan for the future"
"I met Marion in 2017 at around the same time of unexpected life changes in my circumstances. Marion and her professional team gave me the confidence and education to develop my financial literacy and accelerate a plan for the future as an independent woman in the workforce. My journey is now well underway and Iâm looking forward to the next chapters.
The information that Marion provided throughout the process was accurate and without the use of jargon, her extended professional team provided both an integrated and holistic approach ensuring that I was considering all aspects of my decisions. Marion is generous with her time, authentic in her support and passionately committed to education and economic empowerment of women. I recommend Marion and her services to any professional woman wanting to be proactive about what her life looks like in the future."
