Finding direction again in a changed life
After brain injury, energy, sensory processing, confidence and daily routines can change. Marjon helps you understand what drains you and what supports you.

Your life has changed too
As a loved one, you want to be there for them. At the same time, caring, misunderstanding and constant adjustment can demand a great deal from you. Your needs deserve attention too.
Marjon offers space to consider your role, limits and capacity, so staying involved does not mean losing sight of yourself.

About Marjon
Professional knowledge shaped by personal experience
In 2008 and 2010, Marjon experienced three strokes and aphasia. She had to relearn everyday activities such as cooking, planning and cycling. Her recovery was not a straight path.
The lessons from those years, together with her professional training, form the basis of her support. Marjon does not promise a quick fix or compare your recovery with hers. She helps you find your own way.
