Divorce, Trauma + Emotional Release

Emily Colorado

​"I worked with Marlies at Ledbetter Transformations a few times. I worked with her in 2023 when I thought I was the main problem in my marriage and I was trying to fix myself. I did 3-4 sessions with her, but I was emotionally numb from using alcohol & an SSRI to get though life. I came back to her again after going sober and realizing I wasn’t the only problem in my marriage.  Since I was able to cry for the first time in years, we decided to try breathwork again. I was able to have multiple emotional releases and make progress including forgiving my ex husband, myself, and a lot of other people from my past.  My favorite thing about Marlies is her love for Jesus. After being a lukewarm Christian most of my life, she helped me truly see myself the way God sees me and helped me deepen my relationship with him and that is priceless. ​ I recommend Ledbetter Transformations to my friends dealing with trauma all the time. I’m so grateful God gave me Marlies."

Life Transitions + Transformations

Elizabeth Mississippi

"I’ve worked with Marlies for over four years, and she has become such an important mentor in my life and business. Marlies works with me on a personal, professional, and spiritual level and has been pivotal in helping me create my business from the very beginning. She continues to mentor me today in all aspects, from personal to professional to spiritual. She has been by my side during times when I’ve had deep questions about my faith and helped me move through those transitions with greater clarity, intention, and trust. What makes working with Marlies so special is who she is as a person. She has incredible depth and character, and she leads with integrity and purpose while still being completely real and grounded. There is so much wisdom in the way she supports people, but also so much heart. I’m deeply grateful for her guidance, honesty, encouragement, and steady presence over the years. She continues to have such a meaningful impact on both my life and my work. I can’t recommend Marlies and Ledbetter Transformations highly enough."

Life Transformation + Breathwork

Mary Texas

"I was referred to Marlies from a practitioner friend after inquiring about "sound healing," which I thought was my answer to years of holding on to childhood & adult trauma, grief, resentment, thought patterns I was stuck in, and various other “issues” that I didn’t even know I had... and that MANY years of prescription medicines, talk therapy, EMDR, energy medicine and even a stay in a mental hospital never touched. My discovery call with Marlies was amazing and very informative, and I knew from that call that God had led me to the right person. Although sound therapy is incorporated in her sessions, what I found additionally was 9D breathwork and life coaching. I realized that I needed my body to release what my mind had't fully processed. Marlies’ life coaching sessions have helped me to let go of so many thought patterns that I was stuck in and the 9D breathwork sessions have allowed my body to release thoughts and emotions that had been stuck for years! Every session has been amazing!

Marlies’ heart to help, her care and compassion for her clients, and her love for Christ are seen in whatever session I do with her. Her wisdom and knowledge of so many things have helped my WHOLE body to heal. Her breathwork sessions and coaching calls have had a HUGE impact on my life so far and I’m only 4 months in! She was exactly what I needed to finally be able to move on in my journey to healing my whole self and being able to live a full and joyous life. I highly recommend Ledbetter Transformations. Truly transforming!"

Life Transitions + Integrations

JC Texas

"I came to Marlies living in separate boxes: a second divorce and a settlement that wouldn't end, co-parenting teenagers across two households, a new wife and a new baby, a corporate career I was outgrowing, and a startup pulling at me. I could run hard in every one of them, but none of them touched.

There's something almost magical about how much love, compassion, and confidence Marlies brings into the room. I think it's because her professional boundaries are so strong. They give her the freedom to go as deep as I'm ready and able to go, and she has no agenda for who I should become. There's a real plan, too: intake and homework before the first session, the next two months mapped out. She tells you what's coming and how to recognize it when it arrives. Today those boxes are one life, with a peace and security I didn't know were available to me. My faith was protected and encouraged every step of the way."

Life Transitions + Faith

Amanda South Carolina

"I came into this work after walking through an incredibly difficult season where I realized that even though I could understand what had happened to me intellectually, my body was still holding so much of it.

​

I could pray about it, journal about it, talk about it in therapy and know the truth in my mind and still feel my nervous system reacting as though I was right back in the middle of it. Ledbetter Transformations gave me a way to work with what I was feeling in my body instead of constantly trying to think my way through it. I’ve been able to access emotions I didn’t even realize I was still carrying, feel them instead of suppressing them, and finally allow some of that stored tension and emotion to move through me. What I appreciate most about Marlies is that I have always felt safe with her. She creates a space where I can completely let go without feeling judged, rushed or like I have to perform. She knows when to coach, when to encourage and when to simply allow you to experience what is coming up.

I would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone who feels like they’ve “done the work” mentally but knows their body may still be holding onto something their mind has already tried to move past."​

Grief & Loss + Confidence 

Hannah Texas

"When I tell you Marlies is a literal angel, I mean it. Just being around her grounds me & makes me feel so calm, seen & heard. She helped me overcome one of the biggest devastations of my life in my career & I believe helped me let go of the anger & resentment I was carrying, and turned those feelings into a fiery motivation that projected my business to places I didn’t know I would get to.

am forever thankful for Ledbetter Transformations. If you’ve never tried one of her Breathwork experiences, please do yourself a favor & book it. It was one of the best things I never knew I needed! Thank you Marlies, for being you, a God loving passionate woman of Faith!"

​

Stress + Somatics

Micah Texas

"Each journey has helped me become more aware of what I was carrying: physically, mentally, and emotionally...and has given me the space to begin releasing it. During these experiences, I have felt deep tension loosen and release from my neck, back, and jaw; areas where I had unknowingly been holding stress, pressure, and underlying fears. The journeys can feel almost otherworldly, yet the growth and healing continue long after the experience itself has ended. I have come away feeling lighter, more peaceful, more grounded, and more connected to myself.  Marlies is exceptionally skilled, but what has meant the most to me is how deeply she cares. Her presence and angelic voice create an atmosphere where I feel safe enough to surrender, let go, and explore the deeper places within myself. Her care does not end when the journey is over; the support and aftercare she provides have been an important part of helping me understand and integrate what I experienced.

Working with Marlies has helped me release layers of tension, stress, and fear while opening the door to greater peace, awareness, and personal growth. I am truly grateful for her and for the lasting impact these experiences have had on my life."

Growth + Faith 

Selah 

​"Working with Ledbetter Transformations is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my growth. Their professionalism, dedication, knowledge, and genuine compassion is what makes them truly special.

Marlies helped me heal and recover from one of the darkest seasons of my life, and she is now a trusted ally for life. I also love that they incorporate faith into their practice while still creating a welcoming, judgment-free space for people of all beliefs and walks of life."

Childhood Trauma + Confidence 

Natalie California

“I was a child living in the dark and a shattered heart. I didn’t realize then, but now I see a kid at the bottom of the barrel trying to pull myself out of it. Working with Marlies, I feel better in my own skin and finally I’m the person I knew I could be. From one meeting, I knew in my heart I was in the right direction. She knew what I needed to hear to help fix the broken pieces, she gave me few exercises and homework to do and she shared her playlists. She held my hand virtually and guided me through the journey of healing. I am breaking the cycle of pain, abuse and darkness.

My family deserves love, light and kindness and the best version of myself. Thank you to Ledbetter Transformations for kick starting my healing process."

Faith + Confidence 

Erin North Carolina

“I had forgotten how powerful the act of breathing is.  I'd been feeling frustrated, sad, and isolated from people I once trusted. As a people pleaser, I wanted to know what I had done wrong.  Working with Marlies, using breathwork and prayer,  helped me to let go of what I cannot control and find so much peace! A Christ-centered program is important, with compassionate listening and constructive guidance. Navigating life feels less heavy now. The unique immersive nature of a 9D breathwork session cuts out the day's noise.  I have been drenched in tears and have released tension in my mind and body that had built up over years of struggle.  I have felt supported and loved each time. My faith has strengthened. I have tools to navigate difficult times, centered on what my body needs day to day, not just based on one event or stressor.

If you have tried what seems like everything else,  guidance from Ledbetter Transformations is what you have been missing. For me, it has made all the difference."

Safety + Trust 

Melissa British Colombia

“I’m not going to lie, I was really nervous going into my first session. I had no idea what to expect and I’m normally not someone who opens up easily. But I never felt pushed or like I had to talk about anything I wasn’t ready for. Marlies explained everything, checked in with me, and somehow made the whole experience feel really comfortable. At one point I remember thinking, ‘Okay, I can actually let go here.’

I didn’t realize how much I needed that. I left feeling lighter and honestly just really grateful that I finally took the chance and did it. I cannot recommend this process enough.  I tell all my friends!!”

Trauma + Faith Based Guidance 

Stephanie Pennsylvania

“Highly recommend working with Marlies! She helped me work through years of emotional trauma and abuse while supporting me and showing me unconditional love like Jesus! I was a heavy drinker for many years and used alcohol as a coping mechanism. After being sober a few years I decided to work with her to learn how to feel again. To process feelings and emotions in a healthy way.

One of my favorite parts about working with her is how she always prayed over me and our sessions! After my first session with her I was relieved of years of chronic pain in my jaw. I was able to release so much in the Letting Go session! This practice and the things I learned will always be a huge part of my journey."

Personalized + Whole-Person Care 

Sara New York

“By the time I found Ledbetter Transformations, I had already tried a lot of things. I understood many of my patterns and could tell you exactly what I was supposed to be doing, but knowing it and actually changing it were two very different things. What I appreciated about working with Marlies was that she didn’t immediately give me another list of things to fix. She asked questions. A LOT of questions lol. She wanted to understand what was actually happening in my life and why.

We started connecting things I had never connected before, and that helped me see myself and my reactions completely differently. It felt personal instead of prescribed, which was exactly what I needed.”                                             

​

Addiction + Transformation 

Matthew Mississippi

“It’s actually hard to explain how much has changed because it wasn’t one huge breakthrough where suddenly everything was different. It was all these smaller moments that started adding up. I began noticing when I was falling into an old pattern. I started catching the way I talked to myself. I learned how to slow down before reacting and ask myself what was really going on.

Now over a year later working with her, I still use the tools she taught me, but I think the biggest difference is that I trust myself more now. Life still happens. I just don’t respond to it the same way I used to.” ​

Business Partnership + Breathwork 

Micah Texas

"She brings an extraordinary level of skill, compassion, and presence to every partnership.  Her professionalism, care to detail, navigating difficult themes and her ability to work with everyone around her in a corporate environment by creating experiences and programs that feel peaceful and powerful is beyond words. ​ 

If you have the opportunity to experience 9D Breathwork with her, in ANY capacity, take it. You will be working with one of the very best!"

Business Transformation

Jonathan Texas
"While we grew from a startup into the organization we are today, I was straddling a corporate role, a nonprofit, and an LLC. Working with Marlies was pivotal in getting through it, and it showed up where it counts: in how I deal with my team, our vendors, and our partners. Then the people around me started coming to me when they were struggling. For once I had an answer.

Nearly everyone in our company has now worked with Marlies, in group sessions or one-on-one, and I've watched real transformations. Her professional boundaries are the strongest I've ever experienced, and that's exactly what makes the work so deep. People feel safe enough to go where they need to go, with real care and compassion on the other side. There's a plan from day one. As a leader, I'm no longer guessing what to do when someone is out of options, out of ideas, and out of runway. I know where to send them."
