BIRTHING A BRIGHTER WORLD TOGETHER!

Hi there and welcome!

I’m Marjorie LUMET, which means “the one who illuminates the world,” and I try to live up to that. I help people reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world. Through mindfulness, breathwork, and nature-based practices, I create experiences that support clarity, presence, and well-being—whether in group settings or one-on-one sessions.

I guide individuals and communities in building resilience, cultivating joy, and fostering meaningful connections. My work focuses on helping people access their own potential, find balance, and take conscious action in their lives.

Through these practices, I help people experience a deeper connection—to nature, to each other, and to the world around them. By caring for ourselves, we naturally create positive effects in our communities and environment.

Like an acorn holding the potential of a mighty oak, each of us carries unique potential. Are you ready to step into your own light and contribute to a thriving, meaningful future?

More about my journey

After 15 years thriving professionally in media and event management, I realized I wanted to dedicate my life to supporting others’ growth and well-being. Motherhood deepened this calling, inspiring me to slow down, embrace nurturing rhythms, and create spaces for transformation.

In 2015, after the birth of my second child, I left my corporate career to fully pursue this path. I began teaching mindfulness and guiding individuals toward presence, peace, and personal growth. Over the years, my work expanded to include breathwork, nature connection, and facilitation practices rooted in deep ecology and mindfulness.

In the last 10 years, I’ve supported thousands of people—individuals, families, and organizations—in reconnecting with themselves, cultivating purpose, and nurturing well-being. Whether guiding mothers as a doula, hosting community circles, leading mindfulness trainings, facilitating breathwork journeys, offering coaching, or leading nature-based retreats, my work helps people develop presence, resilience, and a sense of meaningful connection.

“I followed an 8 week Mindfulness course led by Marjorie. I am not new to Mindfulness, I already had lots of meditation experience and teach a sensory-based movement form incorporating mindfulness. What is great about Marjorie is that her teachings are as pertinent to beginner’s as they are to people like me, who have more experience. She is experienced, clear, creates a supportive and trustful setting, and gives the space people need to share and explore, and to be where they are at in their learning process. I highly recommend her classes. Most importantly, she walks her talk. She knows what she is teaching, because she practices it and it is her life.”– Kim
“Marjorie proved to be a very charismatic and attentive mindfulness trainer. She led us through a peaceful deep journey into the discovery of this very effective meditation technique. It was the most pleasant surprise of last winter for me as I was going through a difficult period trying to process a loss that was very significant to me. Our weekly appointment immediately became one of the healthiest habits I could come across. She is very clear in explanation, very loving to the group and to the single individual. We felt very nurtured and I can still relate to her lessons to find a sense of presence at the beginning or at the end of the day. I highly recommend her.”  – Christina
“Following Marjorie’s training for 8 weeks really helped me to deal better with my own stress and anxiety. It is so difficult after a long day at work to wind down and stop thinking about meetings and emails but meditation allowed me to do just that and gave me some ‘me’ time. The training helped me be more present and worry less. It also helped me put things into perspective – the things that stressed me out at work now don’t bother me as much. I feel I have more control over my life.”– Bridget
“After a long period of stress, I explored mindfulness through Marjorie’s guidance. So far, I have been able to recover my energy, enjoy good sleeping once again and start looking at my daily life with new and more positive eyes. And all of this thanks to Marjorie’s patient and soft care, her personal sensible tone and kind explanations. The weekly session with Marjorie and the group became an important personal moment in my overcrowded agenda.” – Paolo
“Taking this mindfulness workshop is a great experience which opens a door that will never close again. It is like a muscle that you need and want to train on a regular basis. You will learn ways of taking distance and being more at peace with yourself, others and events. This even if you don’t practice hours every day. It is a great gift to offer yourself.”  – Claire
” I can definitely recommend this course to every pregnant woman. Even if it’s not your first child, you will learn things that can change your whole birthing experience, and also for parenthood beyond birth and life in general.” – Marlene
