Marie has been doing online outreach for 10+ years, helping victims and/or survivors of incest, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse. She started the outreach when she started in her own healing from childhood sexual abuse. When she created her website The Might Phoenix she had no idea of the emails of other survivors like herself needing help and reaching out to her. Marie being a very compassionate person for those hurting reached back out and started finding resources for those in need of counseling, support group or crisis help and would look up help for them and email it back to them.
Marie is a born again Christian and has a deep passion in helping survivors of all forms of sexual abuse and domestic violence to become overcomers.
Marie's prayer is that all will know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior! He is our true Healer!
