Mariella's 25-year journey as a top international film and television makeup artist and hair designer has seen her beautify some of the world's most recognisable faces. But Mariella's story isn't just about the magic she works with a brush and palette; it's about the incredible relationships she's built along the way. Unbeknownst to her when she started, her role as a makeup artist would quickly evolve into that of a friend, trusted confidante and life coach to the stars.
In her mid-30's, Mariella took a transformative leap. Feeling lost and yearning for more, she packed a bag and boarded a plane to India, where she trained to become a yoga teacher.
Mariella's personal journey wasn't without its challenges, especially in her quest for love. She longed for a love that seemed effortless for others but eluded her. As hope waned, she turned inward, deciding to work on herself. This led her to 'The Cheek of it Burlesque School', where she found self-love and confidence amidst incredible women who encouraged her to embrace her strength and independence. This experience propelled her into a career as a burlesque performer, both as a solo artist and as part of a troupe, captivating audiences across the UK and Internationally.
Drawing from these diverse experiences, Mariella crafted yoga classes focused on body confidence and female empowerment, which quickly became well received and highly sought-after. Her innate connection to female energy led her to do further studying and go on to teach specialised yoga classes, including pregnancy yoga, peri-menopause and menopause yoga, womb yoga and trauma yoga.

About Mariella
"I was quite surprised to find that once again I was being called to nurture, support, and allow every woman to feel seen, heard and powerful, whether they were on a yoga mat or in my makeup chair. I was back to holding a safe space, this time in a yoga studio instead of a makeup trailer."
WHERE I AM NOW
ME ON MY TRAVELS
Where do I start?
And how do I sum up 20 years in a mere few lines?
Well I’ll start by saying, yes you did read that right I spent 20 whole years searching for Love and boy do I remember the endless scrolling, swiping, laughing and crying with many dating disasters.
When all my friends told me I was being delusional and I was forever hearing “Ella get your head out of the clouds, it’s not like it is in the movies” I never wanted to believe them.
I always believed in LOVE. Even though my personal journey to finding it with all the endless dates, apps and wrong men was a long and often painful one.
I can now declare with 100% sincerity that when you find a healthy and honest love it’s better than the movies and and that is why I am so passionate about helping others find it.
Over the years I endured HUNDREDS of bad dates but now have many hilarious dating stories. I’ve been told multiple times that I could write a book, so who knows watch this space.
My own story and what has led me to want to now coach others.
my story
more about me
Let’s rewind a few years...... CLICK HERE TO READ MORE
I walked into the room sceptical, stubborn to change my thinking patterns and believing that I wasn’t doing anything wrong … ‘there were just no good guys left’.
But within just a few sessions my thinking patterns were changing. I had opened up to new possibilities but most importantly I stopped wasting time on the wrong men and stopped looking in all the wrong places.
Red flags might as well have been plastered on foreheads like flashing beacons and the green flags that I had previously been blind to were now there visible and appealing.
I started putting into practice all I had learnt and You guessed it !!
Love found me at the wonderful age of 38.
Anyway,
back to the relationship coach.
One random morning I woke up and had decided enough was enough. I’d had it with feeling low and like I’d lost myself and even my sense of identity on my never ending quest of searching for love. The years of longing had resulted in me losing self confidence and at points even my ability to face social situations.
So after much deliberation I decided to take action and try and change the story of my single life.
For months I’d been toying with the idea of working with a relationship coach and at a time of pure loneliness I decided to take the plunge.
It’s probably worth mentioning here … when I describe feeling desperate I don’t mean that I was desperate enough to lower my standards. What I’m referring to is I was ‘desperately’ wanting to meet my person.
I will always be passionate to the belief that you should never be expected to lower your standards or settle when it comes to finding a partner, and thank goodness I never listened to some well intentioned friends when they told me “you’ll need to stop being so fussy if you’re serious about finding a husband”. But settling in life is the absolute opposite of what I believe in.
“Some people are settling down,
some people are settling,
and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies”.
