Managing Director

Pronouns: she/her

As the owner, co-founder and Managing Director of Mindview Psychology, Marieke has 15 years of small business development and management experience. Her experience in health practice management combined with her background in advertising, design and digital strategy provides the practice with a deep and supportive understanding of the needs of her team and their clients, and a demonstrated ability to place and adapt a business to achieve success and stability through changing conditions.

Marieke’s core values of compassion and inclusion underpin all that she does. She values the richness that diversity brings and is proud to work within a team that embodies these values. She strongly believes that we heal through safe relationships and applies this understanding to every aspect of practice operations. 

In addition to her role within Mindview Psychology, Marieke is privileged to be undertaking the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach under the mentorship of Zoe Zohs. On completion, she will be certified by the Awareness Training Institute, and the University of California at Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center as a certified mindfulness teacher. She looks forward to guiding others to develop and deepen their own mindfulness and compassion-based practices.

Marieke feels grateful to contribute to work that provides the opportunity for others to experience greater awareness, insight and well-being. Her creative, curious and person-centred approach means she responds to the people she interacts with thoughtfully, with a strong desire to support others to reach their full potential and lead rich and authentic lives.
