Book Time With Me
I’m Marcela, and I help people untangle narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships so they can stop second-guessing themselves and actually move forward.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of:
• replaying conversations
• questioning your reality
• trying to figure out what’s true and what’s not
or even if you already know something isn’t right, but still feel pulled back in or unsure how to fully move forward… that’s what we’ll work through.
I’m not a therapist, and I don’t diagnose anyone, but I’ve spent years studying (and living through) narcissistic and emotionally abusive dynamics, trauma bonds, and emotional recovery.
Whether you’re co-parenting with a difficult ex, breaking out of a cycle, or trying to trust yourself again, this space is private, judgment-free, and focused entirely on you.
You’ll walk away with:
• A personalized action plan with clear, realistic next steps
• A detailed follow-up email with key insights, scripts, mantras, and resources
• Clarity you can actually hold onto, not something you second-guess an hour later
All sessions are confidential, and appointment times automatically reflect your time zone.
If you don’t see a time that works, email me at beyondthebruise@gmail.com and we’ll figure something out.
Testimonials
“I found Marcela at the lowest point in my life and her content genuinely changed everything for me. She helped me see patterns I couldn’t see for years and gave me the clarity I needed to finally leave. I don’t think I’d be where I am today without her. If you're on the fence just do yourself a favor and book a call with her!”
- Janet H., Austin, TX

“I was stuck in the same on/off toxic cycle for years. One month working with Marcela shifted more for me than anything I had tried before. I finally feel like I can start trusting myself again.”
- Neena R., London, UK
“Her content alone helped me leave, but working with her 1:1 is what helped me stay out. She’s direct, validating, and actually gives you practical tools you can use in real life.”
- Corey L., Cape Town, South Africa
“I felt completely stuck and kept going in circles trying to understand what was happening. Marcela helped me see the patterns clearly and, more importantly, helped me actually act on that clarity. It gave me the confidence to finally choose myself.”
