A Sacred Invitation to Come Home to Yourself

This isn’t self-help. This is sacred remembering.

The Return of the Queen is a guided 8-week journey created for the woman who’s done it all — and is finally ready to come home to herself.

It’s for the woman who knows something’s missing… but can’t put her finger on what.

Who’s tired of trying to fix, perform, or prove — and instead longs to feel, reclaim, and rise.

This is not about becoming someone new.It’s about peeling back everything you’re not… so you can finally return to everything you are.

The Quiet Disappearance of a Woman Who Once Knew Herself

Somewhere along the way… you started disappearing.

Not all at once — but slowly. Under the weight of roles you didn’t choose, in the silence of needs you stopped naming, beneath the pressure to hold it all together.


You became the one everyone could count on but forgot how to count on yourself. You learned to shrink so others could shine. To numb so you wouldn’t break. To edit yourself so carefully, you don’t even know what your full truth sounds like anymore.


Now, there’s an ache you can’t explain. A grief you don’t have words for. A whisper that keeps asking… “Where did I go?” And quietly, beneath the noise you’re wondering if it’s too late to come back.

The True Costs of Keeping Saying “I’m Fine”

The most painful losses aren’t always loud.

Sometimes, it’s the quiet ones that leave the deepest ache —the slow forgetting of your own voice, the years spent making space for everyone but yourself, the way your dreams softened into silence because no one thought to ask if you still had any.


This kind of disappearance doesn’t show up in headlines. It shows up in the mirror. In the numbness.


In the way you say “I’m fine” with a smile that doesn’t reach your eyes. And the cost?


A life that looks full on the outside… but feels hollow on the inside. You were never meant to vanish in your own story. It’s time to return.

The Path Back Is Yours — and You Don’t Walk It Alone

The Return of the Queen isn’t a single offering — it’s a living, breathing path of remembrance

Each step is sacred. Each experience stands alone, but together, they create a rhythm of return.

You might begin with Stepping Through the Mirror — a soft and illuminating check-in that gently reveals where you are.

From there, you may find your voice inside the Tea Circle, our weekly gathering of women who are tired of pretending and ready to be real.

Then, when your soul is ready for a deeper stir, there is Rise to Remember — a 1 day live guided homecoming where truth is felt, grief is held, and radiance begins to rise again.

And when your heart says yes… the full 8-week experience of The Return of the Queen will walk you back to the woman you were never meant to leave behind.

This is not self-help. This is sacred sequencing. A feminine path. A layered return. A circle you never have to leave

There’s no one way to come home to yourself — but...

4 DOORWAYS TO STEP THROUGH AT YOUR OWN PACE...

...Each one leads you a little closer to the woman you’ve been quietly missing.

Each doorway stands on its own. Together, they form a complete return.

You choose how you begin. But you do not walk alone.

FIRST DOORWAY:

Remembering

STEPPING THROUGH THE MIRROR™

The Mirror is a 60-second soul check-in that gently reveals where you’ve been disappearing—because to find your way forward, you first have to know where you are.

It’s self-paced, private, and sacred — a quiet moment just for you.

Along with your answers, you’ll receive a simple, soulful guide showing you how to begin your return in the softest, most supportive way possible.

Because even the smallest moment of truth can open the door to everything.

SECOND DOORWAY:

Return To Safety

The Weekly

Tea Circle™

The Tea Circle is a weekly sacred gathering where women come to lay down their masks, speak what’s real, and remember they’re not alone.

Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in safe, soulful spaces where your story is heard and your presence is enough.

After each circle, you’ll receive a simple reflection prompt to help integrate what you felt, heard, or realized — so your healing doesn’t just open… it lands.

THIRD DOORWAY:

Release & Rebuild

Rise To Remember™

Rise to Remember is a 4-hour immersive experience where something deep inside you begins to stir — the grief you’ve been carrying, the voice you’ve quieted, the woman you thought you lost.

Through guided reflection, sacred practice, and shared truth, you’ll begin to feel again — and not just feel, but reclaim.

This is more than an event — it’s your first embodied taste of what’s possible when you stop surviving and start returning.

You’ll walk away changed… because once you remember, you can’t un-remember.

FOURTH DOORWAY:

Rise To SovereignTY

The Return Of The Queen™

Led by Mariel herself, The Return of the Queen is an 8-week guided experience that makes your healing real — and lasting.

Through sacred structure, soul practices, and the steady presence of a sisterhood that sees you, this isn’t just a breakthrough… it’s a becoming.

The changes you make here don’t fade — because you’re not doing it alone.

You’re rising inside a circle. And once the Queen returns, she doesn’t forget who she is again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome questions are sacred too — here are compassionate answers to support your return journey.

 What if I start and don’t finish?

This isn’t about perfection or completion—it’s about presence. Even if you only show up once or twice, each moment of remembering begins your return. This is your path; you move at your own rhythm

I’ve tried programs before—how is this different?

Return of the Queen™ isn’t another “fix-it” course. This is a sacred container built on ritual, story, embodiment, and deep witnessing—not just information. It reclaims who you are beneath the roles. That’s why it transforms, not just informs.

I’m too busy—how will I find the time?

This work meets you in small, powerful rhythms: a mirror ritual, weekly Tea Circles, guided practices. Each step integrates gently into your life, replenishing your nervous system—not adding another task.

I’m not spiritual—will this still work for me?

Absolutely. You don’t need belief systems or rituals. Everything here grounds in the body and honest presence—nothing esoteric. If you breathe, feel, remember—you already have all the tools you need.

I’m afraid to be seen or speak in a group

You never have to speak. Presence is enough. Tea Circles honor your rhythm—you’re welcome to listen deeply, journal quietly, or speak with your camera off. You’re held no matter how you show up.

Is this expensive? Can I afford it?

The cost of not returning to yourself can echo through every relationship, decision, and moment of your life. We offer payment plans and a transformative container built to help you reclaim what you’ve lost. The Queen you invest in is the Queen who returns—fully.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all. It’s co-created—tailored through ritual, reflection, and sisterhood. If you’re tired of performance and long for embodiment, your soul is ready. We’ve walked this, and we walk beside you.

I’m already in therapy—won’t this overlap?

This work complements therapy. While therapy often explores the mind, Return of the Queen™ brings your body, ritual, breath, and narrative into the healing. It deepens and honors the healing already underway.

I feel like I’m too late—am I?

You are never too late to return to you. There is no timeline or expiration for the Queen. The longing you feel is her calling—you being here, now, shows she’s already waking.

Will I belong here?

Yes, wholeheartedly. The women in our container come burned out, full of ache, and ready for reclamation. You’ll arrive with your truths—seen, known, and honored. This is sisterhood, not performance—a circle where your voice always reaches home.
