"You are in safe, loving, caring hands with the Embodiment Collective. I have been in several groups led by Jooske and/or Miriam and I have had a one on one reading with Jooske. Miriam is an expert in her field and has made movement her life's work. She is a passionate, kind, and experienced guide. Jooske is so passionate about all her interests and has worked to refine her natural intuitive gifts. My reading from her was so warm and loving and I recommend her as a massage therapist as well. Both these women are also total bad-ass beauties who will make you laugh and smile. Any offering they provide is worth the ticket price - you'll learn something life-changing and have fun doing it."

"I came to Jooske and Miriam's Contact Dance workshop in Takaka and I really enjoyed it. They are a great team teaching and dancing together beautifully. To me this opened up a new level of vulnerability in relating with eachother but they guided us through it very gently and safely. I love the way they are totally able to feel into what the group needs and adjust their teaching to it. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Beautiful, yummy, intimacy, connection, presence, wow!! What a weekend! Self learning and learning of and with others. Miriam and Jooske have an incredible presence in their sharing and guiding. They are gentle and clear, playful and strong. A great introduction to Contact Dance! The tools for any beginners were simple and fundamental. Ready to be used and improved. Love it!!! Thank you"

"I was keen to learn, the door was open. I said yes and it was met by teaching so conscious and aware of us all present- we were given a strong base of knowledge that in a short time gave us the confidence to explore with great delight new realms of surrender and joy"

"Miriam Marler's Thai massage is amazing! An energizing and relaxing experience. Totally recommend it."

                                                                                                   - Hannah Rouse, August 2019

"I recently received a Thai massage with Miriam and afterwards I felt amazing. My headache had gone and my shoulders felt much looser, like the alignment had been shifted. I think I'm going to switch to Thai massage from now on as it seems to unlock tension in a deeper way for me."
                                                                                                  - Sophia Walter, July 2019

"I have had several massages from Jooske and highly recommend her! My back has always given me trouble and is a challenge for any masseuse, but Jooske somehow manages to release the tension even when half my back is so tight that its gone numb from constantly slumping over a desk. Also, her new massage space is lovely!"

                                                                                                  - Sarah Rouse, May 2019

"I was happy to catch a session on Jooske's last day in the US and it was such an amazing time. She channeled the information and started process in such a gentle way, very clear to understand and able to answer all my additional questions. She helped me see new ways of things I was stuck with and I made few important realizations and learned useful tool to start processing my emotions. I am so grateful Universe crossed our paths and we got to meet each other!"

"Excited to be dancing again with this Contact dance group. Genuine human kindness, human interaction, great learning, wonderful moving and dancing. Feeling ALIVE! I highly recommend this experiential learning and moving!"

"Attended Jooke's Acro Yoga sessions over an 8 week period with my partner. With a few acro foundation courses under our belts this was the perfect thing to keep us in the game, learning heaps of new moves, and improving our existing skill set. Jooske is a fantastic teacher, the sessions are specific to our skill level and always had us learning new things as well as working on things we already had learnt. With hour long sessions always filled with heaps of learning and fun. Best thing I've done to improve and develop as an acro yogi. Would recommend 100%. Jooske is always willing to help and challenge you and make sure your safe doing it. Heaps of fun as well with plenty of laughs. Am coming back for another term! Thanks Jooske"
