    It exceeded my expectations!

    Marlene showed me that nervousness can be a good thing (...) with butterflies fluttering in my stomach with joy, looking forward to the race.
    When it came to mental insecurity, we agreed on goals for me and behold, I found it really easy to focus on these goals and improve!

    A space where I felt seen and supported

    What I truly appreciate is how Marlene combines her professional expertise with a deeply personal approach; she doesn’t just teach you how to mush, she helps you grow into the musher you want to become.

    Finding Marlene was a gamechanger!

    I was already working with my dogs in a nice way but wanted professional guidance to make sure I was truly on the right track. Marlene inspired me to set ambitious goals and provided both the knowledge and the practical skills I needed to achieve them. I truly appreciate her powerful yet empatic way of coaching.
