“Marlene Dickinson is a truly gifted wellness coach who considers the whole person and complex interdependencies in helping one reach their goals. Marlene is a font of knowledge and insight. Whether you are seeking pragmatic ideas to reduce stress - endemic in today's fast paced world, lose unwanted inches, or improve your diet, she will have lots and lots of good ideas and practical implementation plans.
Perhaps, just as important as her deep knowledge of nutrition and health is her genuine desire to help others and uncanny empathy. After leaving her office, I always feel better about where I am today and more clearly see the roadmap of how to get to where I want to be. My 10-year old son and I have both directly benefited from her wisdom over this past year. Marlene has helped me to convert fat to lean muscle mass, reduce stress in my life, and is now helping me define and integrate a diet to help reduce cholesterol. In addition, she has worked with my son to help him with body image issues. I could not recommend her more highly as someone who will work passionately and knowledgeably to help others.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Marlene in several varied settings over the past ten years.
We worked together at the same company for several years. During that time, Marlene became a trusted friend and beloved (by all) co-worker. I always knew that Marlene had my back and was invested in my growth, success, and happiness as a friend and team player.
She then became my employer and I was blessed to experience a manager who truly loved collaborating on projects while maintaining an amazing standard and expectation for excellence.
I have such respect for Marlene and her ability to lead, cheerlead, encourage and empower others to challenge themselves. I was encouraged to step out of my comfort zones and achieve more than I imagined because she believed in me!
Marlene has been a trusted Wellness Coach for me over the years as well. I never thought I could kick the sugar habit but with her vast nutritional expertise and well thought out nutritional plan, I did! Its been five years and I am still able to maintain a clean eating lifestyle, maintain my weight at 57, and am enjoying the perks of increased energy and health.
Lastly, I take pride in referring friends and acquaintances to Marlene should they desire to improve their health and overall well being. She's an empathetic listener who invests in her clients and also provides wise, honest, pro-active feedback. You will be challenged to make changes with a ton of support and care. “

“I recently met with Marlene Dickinson for a wellness consultation, I was both surprised and delighted with her level of knowledge of both fitness and nutrition. I am a senior citizen who recently moved to Massachusetts from NYC. While in NYC I worked with both highly knowledgable trainers and physicians who believed that weight bearing exercise and proper nutrition are essential components of good health.
Thanks to the time that Marlene took to evaluate my level of fitness and listen to what I needed, she matched me with a trainer and outlined a nutritional plan to address my pain levels. I am now pain free with a lot more flexibility. I encourage anyone who is considering changing their level of fitness or their nutritional profile to schedule a meeting with Marlene.”

“I have known Marlene for several years as our chosen professional pursuits overlap. Marlene’s interest and expertise in all aspects of wellness and my experience as an orthopedic and sports physical therapist drew us together. It has been great to help our mutual clients lead more healthy, happy lives. The thing that stands out about Marlene is how much she enjoys sharing her considerable knowledge with her clients as she addresses their needs. She absolutely loves what she does and is so very pleasant to work with.”

“Marlene is a gifted practitioner with an innate healing ability. I was blessed to experience her distance Reiki skills which assisted in my recovery process following surgery. The inflammation began to subside and I immediately felt more relaxed. Her work is a gift!”
