Blake Hudson, Far North Queensland

 “I’m sitting here today feeling into myself and all the beauty I have in my life. I’m feeling clear in my soul, in my head, in my heart around who I am and who I want to give the world in my gifts and my purpose.

I’ve recently gone through a short series of coaching with Marenn over the last 6-7 weeks. It’s been a journey. Each session was really beautiful. Marenn held space for me to get clear and process what was alive in me. Marenn helped unpack me and uncover different parts of myself. 

My intention and purpose was to get a really clear punchy mission statement and purpose in life. Marenn supported me with various different techniques and gave me some great resources, which I was able to work through. I came out feeling really clear. Really on purpose. Having myself much more tuned up.

So Marenn with his gentle, soft, clear, intuitive, almost angelic nature has been so good, and I thoroughly appreciate his gift for the world, which is through his Zen Coaching. I thoroughly recommend Marenn.”

Aden, Jindabyne, Australia

“My name's Aden, I'm a Carpenter/ Builder and a Snowboard Coach.

Before I started this process with Marenn I was feeling disconnected, and that unhealthy habits were controlling my decision making.
Being a typical bloke, talking about feelings/emotions wasn't done in my daily environments.

But I eventually reached a point where I'd had enough. Change had to happen...

One thing lead to another and I was chatting with Marenn ( thank you universe)
I felt comfortable opening up with him, never felt judged, pushed or told what to do! He somehow let me discover/ find my way to the truths I needing, or seeking on a deeper level.

Our chats were quite a mediative experience. I think what amazed me the most was that 'I was the one speaking the truths I needed to hear'. Which created a truly impactful experience.

As a result of Marenns coaching I'm now building healthy habits, have a far happier family, and the capacity to support those I love.

Thank you Marenn”

Reka Upward, Far South Coast, Australia

 “Thank you Marenn for working with me! I found the coaching process to be gentle, intuitive and affirming.

One of the biggest shifts I’ve noticed since working with Marenn is a renewed focus on presence. I am more able to stay in the moment and not anxiously project forward (which is my particular habit). I also have more self-compassion, and compassion for others around me, as I consciously try to connect with my/their unmet needs and vulnerabilities.

I chose zen coaching after years of using more ‘traditional’ therapies. I had the sense that I wanted to try something a little bit out of my comfort zone, and enjoyed exploring the ‘pathless path’ with Marenn.

Coaching has been a great addition to my repertoire of self care.”

Marion, Melbourne, Australia

“I was pretty doubtful Marenn would manage to help communication between myself and a good friend after an epic blow up. We were in very different places and spaces. To my surprise, Marenn achieved what others couldn’t through his gentle encouragement to explore non violent communication techniques and focus on outcomes. To his credit, Marenn helped to identify that we both essentially had similar feelings for each other and the commonalities were stronger than the immediate difficulties. Very strong mediation skills.”

Greg Powell, Far South Coast Australia

“My zen coaching sessions with Marenn have been quite profound. Each week we seem to go deeper and deeper. Together we reevaluate with curiosity and loving compassion all that is revealed.

It’s such a gentle approach and I’m trusting that its safe to explore so much that I’ve buried for so long.

Marenn holds space with compassion, whilst keeping me focused on what is important for me.

I felt a lightness even when present with intense emotions and blockages and supported to allow and release them.

I finished the three month package opened up to the mystery and joy of life.

I find Marenn inspiring and easy to work with so may well continue with more sessions in the future.”

Zoe Zeitler, Berlin, Germany

“Marenn’s coaching has been a form of meditative enquiry for me, which brings my inner experience to the surface. Marenn began by asking me simply to feel my feelings, and the intensity of that experience took me by surprise completely. I didn’t expect an act as simple as accepting the existence of my emotions to have such an impact on me.

Marenn is open and flexible, while having the gentlest way of making me aware of my behavioral patterns and tendencies. Most vitally of all, I walk away from each joint session with a complete clarity on my priorities.

The most important thing to me has been that I feel like Marenn provides me with a space to grow towards my best self. It’s incredibly valuable for me to have a space in which this is the only objective – in which no other person has a motive.”

Tamsyn, Tasmania, Australia

I first had the opportunity to do coaching with Marenn in January 2021.

Through coaching sessions with Marenn, I have gained clarity about my own dreams and goals and worked towards them.

Marenn’s light playful presence-based approach has helped me to express myself, things that may not have come easily.

Working with Marenn has helped me to be in touch with some difficult feelings that were buried, allowing me to dissolve them.

I value his guidance in my visualising and articulating my own goals and dreams. His approach is gentle. He mindfully listens and has a way of shining a light on things, intuitive, but not prescriptive.

Marenn is open to feedback and seeks continual growth in his practice.

Marenn quickly brought a feeling of trust to the coaching. He has supported, held the space and guided me through these particularly turbulent times. He brings a strong presence to the session and has sent pertinent resources before and after the sessions. This supports you to work on things yourself, outside the session.

Marenn is a beautiful soul, who is passionate about what he does. He is deeply connected with nature and his own intuition.

Leon, Perth, Australia

If life was a raging bull, Marenn helped me grab it by the horns and look closely at the cause of my discontent.

The Zen Coaching methods were very useful in guiding my attention back to the present moment and focussing on what I was feeling in the here and now. This practice has had lasting impact through days, weeks and months of regular micro-doses of mindfulness.

My story, like most people, is full of uncertainty and a chronic sense of tension. Uncertainty seemed to breed many problems, which was being compounded by my unhelpful reactions. This is what I have learned to confidently identify through an eleven-session package with Blue Wren Zen.

A relaxed positivity and encouraging environment was fostered through Zoom; landing the lessons right where they’re needed in my own personal space at home.

Marenn’s active listening is imbued with such quality that he knows when to politely interrupt, which question may penetrate your confusion, whether to invite stillness, or whether to probe the uncertainties in your mind towards a particular direction that carries significant weight in your personal story.

The coaching style was perfect for me, as someone who has spoken with counsellors and psychologists with no pathology of mind for them to isolate. The psychological discomfort was too subtle for the trained specialist to offer any meaningful response, yet Marenn would encourage me to simply sit with the worry, patiently, before suggesting how to proceed.

The focus on self-compassion creates a feeling you can readily recall at any time of day or night, when you notice your tension has returned.

With these Zen Coaching tools and resources, I feel 10,000% more confident in noticing the unhelpful behaviours and responding to them with renewed compassion in a timely and effortless manner.

Now I can return to focusing on self-actualization through contributions of greater value to my communities.”

Tully, Sydney, Australia

“The real deal of what it means to hold space, listen to the body, and let the heart lead. Working with wren is so simple, clear, loving. No BS. I recommend if you’re looking for creative, imaginative, passionate, visionary change in your life.

After a one month Journey I am now noticing that I’m looking inwards to my inner resources for support, rather than outwards.

Full mental clutter has shifted to spacious clarity and love for myself.

I see my perspective changing from lack to abundance and am aware of the remaining forms of identification and how they no longer serve me.”

Charlie, Far South Coast, Australia

“As a guide for challenging personal and interpersonal exploration, Marenn is calm and constant, fully present, and an ever-loving host. In the challenging work of mediation, I found it easy, natural and rewarding to put my deep trust in Marenn. It’s a great fortune to our community that we can call upon Marenn for his skilful and compassionate guidance.”
