Marie AlessiKeynote SpeakerThe Power of Grief
Book Marie
Grief is like a fingerprint left on your heart by those who touched it.
When Marie first learned about her husband’s passing, she made a decision within the first few minutes that would not only change her and their sons’ lives, it created a paradigm shift in the world of grief for thousands of people she touched with her journey.
It all started less than 3 years prior to Rob’s sudden death. A fatal accident caused Rob to take a detour on his way home from work. Later that night they learned that a young father had lost his life, being hit front on by a truck. It was that night that Marie and Rob had the “what if” conversation. The impact this heart-to-heart would have, was completely unknown to them both at the time.
Marie’s world was turned upside down by the phone call of a sergeant from the coroner’s office. When she was hugging their boys in the living room, sharing the life changing news, the key sentence of their conversation echoed in Marie’s head; she heard Rob’s voice: “If something was to ever happen to me, I would want you to create the happiest life possible for you and the boys!”
Expect a shift when you meet Marie. Expect empowerment, a journey to your deepest core. Expect the unexpected: healing, fulfillment, and all the things you never thought one could find in grief. It will turn your world upside down, the world as you now know it. Get ready to reimagine a life worth loving!
Marie the Keynote Speaker
Marie has the ability to transform the audience on a deep and profound level within just one hour. Grief is usually a rather heavy topic; Marie adds lightness and healing with her refreshingly positive authenticity, sharing straight from her heart, whilst building the bridge for the audience to join her.
I could disconnect myself from my negative experiences out of grief and reimagine my life in ways I didn’t think possible and could only dream of!
Marie the MC for Celebrations of Life
Celebrations of Life have become a very popular way of a final goodbye to a loved one. There is an increasing focus on celebrating the life and the impact of somebody special, rather than focusing on the sadness due to their passing.
Moving further away from traditional, often heavy ceremonies, Marie makes it her mission to spend time with the family to collect and celebrate the essence of your loved one in a beautiful and uplifting way.
This is such a unique and highly personal sitting, which Marie handles with the delicacy and grace it deserves.
Marie has a talent of bringing joy and lightness into a rather heavy topic, brightening the tone of the Celebration of Life in a very respectful and loving manner.
As your MC or Celebrant, Marie also offers to read and/or assist in the writing of your eulogies. To book a chat with her, please click here.
