“I am a peculiar people, a royal priesthood. Called out of darkness into the marvelous light."

Meet Marcia

Marcia Blane is a Licensed Professional Counselor who completed her BS in Psychology in Human Services in 2011, obtained her Masters of Mental Health Counseling in 2015, and became a Certified Life Coach in 2016.

Marcia Blane spent years delivering empowering messages to women through conferences, workshops, community programs, and empowerment venues. A natural trainer and facilitator, Marcia developed and refined her skills in presentation and delivery while training others for the federal government. One of the principles that continues to guide her work is simple: “Delivery is everything.”

Marcia is also an accomplished author whose writing reflects her commitment to healing, personal growth, purpose, and emotional freedom. Her published works include Warfare: Breaking the Bonds of Codependency (2001), Peculiar One Guided Journal (2020), Making Progress in the Process to Fulfill Your Purpose (2022), Trauma Bond Healing Journal, Tell the Past to Go to Hell, and her latest release, No, Nawl, Hell Nawl: A Guide to Setting Boundaries, Protecting Your Peace & Choosing You—Without Apology (2026).

Across her work as an author, speaker, trainer, and mental health professional, Marcia brings together lived wisdom, clinical knowledge, education, and an authentic approach that invites people to examine what they have survived while discovering who they have the capacity to become.

Whether she is speaking to an audience, facilitating professional development, writing a book, or guiding individuals through the healing process, Marcia believes knowledge becomes most powerful when it is shared. Her longstanding professional philosophy captures that belief:

“It’s just knowledge. Pass it on.”

As a gifted motivator, Marcia utilizes her innate ability to enthusiastically encourage others to walk a path of remarkable self-discovery. While on their journey, individuals will learn how to unlock their authentic existence and unleash the essential greatness that lies within them. Marcia masterfully implants valuable pearls of practical wisdom and nuggets of hope that will support individuals to realistically achieve their dreams while living a life of intended purpose

 Marcia, the therapist, frequently compares therapy to that of an onion. Most people naturally dislike cutting into onions because of the profound discomfort that it undoubtedly causes. Most often individuals will inadvertently overlook the sweetness found in the middle layers of an onion, eagerly waiting to be released through tears. She carefully designs treatment plans ostensibly based on the unique and specific needs of each client. All services are carefully woven to ensure a customized level of managed care because it is not likely that everyone will undergo the same life experiences. This is what Marcia calls the "Peculiar Place" and clients are drawn to this peculiar nature and finds solace and healing in her care.

 Marcia, The Life Coach, is a natural athlete from the track field and leaving competitors behind, to volleyball courts, jumping high to achieve goals and basketball with a defensive stance that stops her enemies. She will coach you with the same veracity. She will challenge you, encourage you, and motivate you to be your absolute best.
