Optimize your potential through integrative mind-body alignment.
Coaching and holistic bodywork programs for creative leaders and healthcare professionals ready to do the deep work and explore profound–and unexpected—possibilities.
To immerse ourselves in the world around us, we must first address the pain and obstacles keeping us from transcending our limitations.
So often, we go through our days—and our lives—without recognizing just how restricted and tight we are; in mind, body, and in spirit. We feel that success requires us to be strong in the face of pain; to ignore our real, valid needs.
But ignoring our pain is no way to heal.
It’s time to open yourself up to a way of living that can only be described as aligned.
Together, we’ll gently explore how to navigate your personal quest towards healing so you can discover an openness and lightness of being you never knew possible.
At Art of Alignment Academy, you are supported, you are heard, you are safe, and you are loved.
Find ease, movement, and awareness through optimal alignment and heart-centered connection.
The Duchêne MethodSM
To fully show up for others, we must first show up for ourselves.
That’s why I’ve designed The Duchêne MethodSM: a unique coaching approach that uses my 3-step proprietary system:
1. Acknowledge
2. Engage
3. Support
By cultivating a solid (yet fluid) foundation—built on creating healthy boundaries, developing the art of mindful communication, and holding an unshakeable responsibility to the self—The Duchêne MethodSM will empower you in making strategically sound and heartfelt decisions to enhance the quality of your life, and the lives of others.

I found peace in working with Anne-Marie.
I learned how to get in touch with myself under stress and to clearly articulate my feelings and recognize signals in my body. It led me to better relationships with my husband, son, family, friends, and, best of all, with myself.”
Anne-Marie gave me the tools to navigate through some very rough water.
After one session with her, I knew this was something special. My outlook on the present and the future totally changed and she taught me how to utilize things from the past in a positive form of growth.”
Anne-Marie helped me to change the direction of my life and created a clear path for me.
She provided guidance and a stronger belief in myself to make the necessary changes, which gave me the confidence required to make real, tangible shifts.
Anne-Marie’s approach helped me to find daily presentness.
She helped me to open up my creativity and establish a mental calm that I was always seeking. She took care of me in a different way integrating mind, body, and spirit. She always makes me feel so good!”
