Sometimes abandonment is literal, sometimes it is deeply felt. A mother may leave because she cannot be a mother, because she follows a partner, feels overwhelmed, becomes depressed and needs hospitalization, or because you were raised by grandparents while she came and went from time to time. And sometimes, she dies — even during birth.
The mother is our first bond with life. That early relationship shapes many aspects of our adult life. Often we need to gently deconstruct those patterns in order to heal — so we don’t keep unconsciously looking for “mother” in our partners, friendships, or career.
Over the past 11 years, I have met many clients with mother-related wounds. Some of the most moving journeys have been with those whose mothers died. You could see the self-sabotage, addictions, the sense of being rootless, of not belonging. The reconciliation here is to re-engage with life itself — to honor the gift of life. And when that happens, faces soften, shoulders release their heaviness, and there is a quiet acceptance: I am alive — and by honoring my life, I honor my mother’s life too.
If this is your story — feeling or being abandoned by your mother — it may echo in your relationships today.
How is your relationship with women? If you’re a man, do you distance yourself from emotionally open women? Do you feel anger toward women? Did you become the “little parent,” taking care of your father too early? Do you tend to neglect your own needs, sacrifice yourself, struggle with addiction, or feel afraid of love, success, or life itself?
If any of this resonates, you don’t have to carry it alone. Book your session — it would be an honor to work with you.

Lavender: a soothing and regulating plant

The classic properties of lavender�Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) is known for:

* Sedative and anxiolytic effects (linalool).
* Analgesic action (esters and linalool).
* Antispasmodic properties: relaxes muscles and sphincters (notably the sphincter of Oddi).
* Broad-spectrum antibacterial effects (less powerful than thyme, but gentler).
* Healing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Lavender through the lens of Endobiogeny�In endobiogeny, lavender is considered a major sympatholytic:

* Slows alpha-sympathetic activity: reduces hypervigilance, stress, and muscle tension.
* Promotes relaxation: ideal for “meerkat patients” (who wake up at the slightest noise) or anyone in a state of hypervigilance.

Specific indications:
* Spasmodic conditions (bloating, migraines, digestive pain).
* Hyposecretory states (thick secretions, blocked congestion).
* Sleep disorders and anxiety.

Clinical example: A stressed patient suffering from bloating and insomnia may find relief with lavender, which helps regulate the autonomic nervous system and improves digestion.

Lavender
* Essential oil: for olfactory use (inhalation/aromatherapy).
* Infusion: less common, but possible for a mild sedative effect.
* Precautions: avoid in case of allergy or during pregnancy.

Everybody Is the Right One at the Right Time — Depending on What You Need to Heal
We often look back at relationships and label them as mistakes, wrong choices, or detours from where we “should” have gone. But what if no one was actually the wrong person? What if each person who entered your life arrived exactly when you needed them — not always to stay, but to help you heal something you were ready to face?
People don’t just come into our lives randomly. They mirror us. They awaken old wounds, trigger buried emotions, and sometimes also bring comfort, safety, and love. Some stay briefly and shake everything up. Others stay longer and hold us while the dust settles. Each of them plays a role in our inner evolution.
The “right one” is not always the easiest one. Sometimes the right person is the one who activates your abandonment wound so you can finally see it. Sometimes it’s someone who doesn’t choose you, so you learn to choose yourself. Sometimes it’s the person who loves you deeply so you can remember what being seen truly feels like. And sometimes it’s the one who leaves so you can rebuild from within.
Every connection arrives with a lesson: boundaries, self-worth, communication, intimacy, or letting go. You might not recognize the lesson while you’re in it — it often only becomes clear once the relationship shifts or ends. But with time, we can look back with less blame and more understanding: they were exactly who I needed for the level of healing I was ready for at that moment.
This perspective doesn’t romanticize pain; it gives meaning to it. It frees you from regret and helps you take responsibility for your healing rather than staying stuck in “why did this happen to me?”
The next time you think, I wasted my time, gently reframe it: This person came so I could grow into more of myself. Some people are meant to walk the whole journey with you. Others are meant to walk you to the next chapter. Both are important.
In the end, it isn’t about finding “the one.” It’s about becoming the one who is whole within themselves — thanks to every encounter that helped you heal along the way.

A Client’s Story: “I didn’t want children… but I had them.”

A client once told me, speaking about her children: « I never truly desired to have children. »

This is not a judgment.It is a reality that some people carry: being born without having been truly desired.

In Family Constellations, we often see the traces of this kind of transgenerational memory:

feeling like you are “too much”
believing you must earn love repeatedly
entering toxic relationships carrying
A deep sadness with no clear reason

These imprints are not a fatality.

They begin to dissolve when we acknowledge what was — without judgment — and honor what came before us.
In a constellation, everyone is put back in their rightful place: the mother with her story, the child with their own life.

And then, peace can circulate again through the lineage.
This is the power of the systemic perspective: to see, to acknowledge, and to release.

Are we ever truly ready? Probably not. But there’s something in our gut that nudges us forward anyway. So ready or not, here you go!
You are the only one who can create the life you want — so take the leap and go for it.

Are we ever truly ready for anything in life? I don’t think so. From birth to death, readiness is an illusion. Even at birth, some of us arrive through a C-section or after a rush of oxytocin, simply because we were too cozy in the womb to move on our own.

And at the end of life, we aren’t ready either. I only have to look at my grandfather—he knows it’s the end, he knows he will soon see his wife, his son, and his family again. And still, he is scared. We are never fully ready.

Around the age of six, our analytical left brain begins to develop, and suddenly we are no longer pure emotion and instinct—we become thoughts. And those thoughts often turn into our worst enemy. They tell us don’t do it, you’re not enough, wait, don’t wait, speak, stay silent, send the text, don’t send the text. Our minds become so loud that we forget how to feel.

But let me remind you: for the first six years of our lives, we were fearless. We were willing to take on the world, willing to walk, to run, to cry, to laugh. We didn’t question whether walking was dangerous; we simply tried. Even when we fell, we stood up again because our analytical brain hadn’t yet learned how to sabotage us.

Healing is the same. We complicate the journey endlessly, even though it is often quite simple. And because it’s simple, we doubt it. We think that healing must be painful or dramatic to be real. But that’s not true. Just as love doesn’t need chaos, tears, or intensity to exist, healing doesn’t need suffering to be valid. We don’t have to constantly move through pain, life is also meant to be enjoyed.

So why are we so afraid to take the next step? To heal? To ask the question? To move forward?

Because being vulnerable, fully alive, without restriction, unapologetically ourselves—terrifies us.

As we enter a new year, a new nine-year cycle, my wish for all of us is this:
Stop overthinking so much and start feeling what feels right.

Because it’s only through feeling that life becomes truly worth living.

Wishing you a year rooted in responsibility, vulnerability, and vision.

When do we know it's over? When we talk more about the past than the present—and no longer about the future.

When the nostalgia of who we used to be together feels stronger than who we are now.

It’s hard to break up, to separate, to divorce—especially with young children. But if there is one thing I’ve learned in my eleven years of practice, it’s this: children suffer more when parents stay together for them. That belief is a lie. You don’t stay for your children. You stay for the little boy or little girl inside you who suffered because of their own parents and is still trying to make it work.

But hopeless love is endless. And as painful as it is, you must choose your destiny—your alignment, your happiness. Why make yourself, and the person you once loved and admired, miserable?

What is it about divorce that feels so hard? Not the new way of being or living—but the inability to leave even when you know your hearts are no longer aligned.

Divorce is not a failure to me. It is an act of love: accepting that I can no longer be part of your happiness, and loving you enough to let you be loved the way you deserve. So I give you permission to find that—with someone else.

With love,
Marine Sélénée

To the woman who is breaking cycles—this is for you.

You are doing the quietest and bravest work there is. The kind that doesn’t always get applause. The kind that feels lonely, heavy, and invisible. You are choosing awareness over autopilot, truth over comfort, and healing over habit. That matters more than you know.

Breaking cycles means you stopped asking, “How do I survive this?” and started asking, “Why does this keep happening?” It means you dared to look at patterns passed down through generations and say, “This ends with me.” Not because you blame anyone—but because you love yourself, and those who come after you, enough to choose differently.

You may feel guilt for choosing yourself. You may question whether leaving, changing, or speaking up makes you selfish. It doesn’t. Growth often feels like betrayal to the version of you who learned to stay quiet, to endure, to make yourself smaller to keep the peace. But that version of you did the best she could with what she knew. You are simply honoring her by choosing better now.

There will be moments when nostalgia tries to pull you back—when the past feels safer than the unknown. Remember this: familiarity is not the same as alignment. Just because something is known does not mean it is meant to continue. You are allowed to outgrow people, roles, and stories that no longer fit.

Breaking cycles also means redefining love. Love is not self-abandonment. Love is not staying where your spirit shrinks. Love is honesty, courage, and sometimes the willingness to let go. Choosing peace over performance. Choosing truth over pretending.

And if you are doing this with children watching—know this: what heals them most is not perfection, but authenticity. They learn resilience when they see you choose wholeness. They learn self-worth when they see you respect your own boundaries. You are not failing them by changing—you are teaching them how to live.

Some days will feel unbearably heavy. On those days, remember: cycles resist being broken. They fight back with fear, doubt, and old voices telling you to stay the same. But every step you take forward weakens their hold. Every honest choice rewrites the future.

You are not too late. You are not too much. You are not failing.

You are becoming.

And that is the most powerful legacy you could ever leave.

A slightly overwhelmed aunt, taking care of her two treasures—especially the older one, who sleeps with Auntie, does everything with Auntie… which means Auntie no longer gets anything done.
I have such deep admiration for mothers and fathers (the ones who really do the job!). I see it clearly—even when the kids nap, I have so many things to catch up on that I’m no longer efficient.
And then there’s Grandpa, who needs things explained and repeated three times because he’s losing his hearing—while at the same time I repeat the same thing fifteen times to my nephew… and in his case, it’s definitely not a hearing issue (!).
And then there’s my mom—learning to be gentler, more patient, because even if I still think she’s 30 years old, that’s not true. Time passes. And the more we grow, the more we take care of our family. We change. We evolve.
In constellations, we practice acceptance, respect, and honoring the order of family members—and it’s a daily practice. I belong to the middle generation: saying goodbye to elders who have lived nearly a century, while welcoming the newest ones who are just one to three years old.
So during this holiday season, when we complain, lose patience, and get irritated—because deep down, I think we all want the same thing: to give love, to feel love—let’s focus on that. We do the best we can, with love. And even if that love is sometimes clumsy or misunderstood, it is still love.
Wishing you beautiful holidays from an overwhelmed aunt who dreams of nothing more than sleeping eight hours straight ✨

When Survival Mode Takes Over the Body

When you’re in survival mode, your body is focused on one thing: keeping you alive. It prioritizes immediate threats, real or perceived, and diverts energy toward systems that help you fight, flee, or endure. While this response is incredibly intelligent and protective in the short term, it comes at a cost when it becomes your default state.
In survival mode, the nervous system stays on high alert. Stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline are continuously released, preparing the body for danger. But because energy is finite, other essential systems are deprioritized. Digestion slows down. Rest and repair are postponed. And one of the most affected systems is the immune system.
The immune system thrives in states of safety and balance. It needs rest, nourishment, and calm to function optimally. When the body believes it’s under constant threat, immune responses are suppressed—not because the body is failing, but because it’s making a strategic choice. Healing can wait; survival cannot.
Over time, living in survival mode can show up as frequent illness, chronic fatigue, inflammation, skin issues, gut problems, or slow recovery. Emotionally, it may feel like anxiety, hypervigilance, irritability, or numbness. The body and mind are doing their best, but they are exhausted.
The important thing to remember is that survival mode is not a personal flaw. It’s often the result of prolonged stress, trauma, uncertainty, or environments that don’t feel safe. Your body learned this pattern to protect you.
Healing, then, is not about forcing relaxation or “thinking positive.” It’s about gently teaching the body that it is safe again. Small moments of rest, consistent routines, deep breathing, nourishment, supportive relationships, and compassionate self-talk all send signals of safety to the nervous system.
When the body feels safe, it remembers how to heal. Systems come back online. The immune system regains strength. Energy returns. Balance becomes possible again.
Survival mode may have carried you through difficult chapters—but you deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to rest, to heal, and to thrive.

From surviving to existing

"Resilience is the journey from merely surviving to truly living, the act of reclaiming your aliveness and finding the courage to choose Life, again and again, no matter what you’ve been through. Still standing. Still choosing Life.” Marine Selenee

Here we are, the end of the year, the close of a 9-year chapter, and the beginning of a brand-new cycle in just 30 days.

So, let me ask you:

What are you ready to let go of?
What have you learned from the past 9 years?
And what do you want to carry with you into the next 9?

As we prepare to close 2025, I want to talk about resilience and about the quiet heroes I’m lucky enough to call my clients and friends.

The other day, I was on the phone with one of my best friends. He told me not to give up that I was going to change the world with Endobiogeny, women’s health, and my ability to make complex concepts accessible. (Thank you, Maya Cross - my Human Design explains it all!)

My purpose has always been to simplify what feels complicated, first through therapy, and now through women’s health, with my French accent along for the ride. But I digress…

Back to my heroes, those resilient souls who keep standing up, keep choosing Life, again and again. I don’t know if I’ll ever change the world as my bestie believes, but I’ll keep trying to have as much impact as I can, for health, for vitality, for reclaiming our vibrant selves.

Because resilience is built on faith, the quiet, steady belief that no matter what, things will be okay. That’s why resilient people keep choosing Life. They keep choosing themselves. Over and over again.

And that brings me to a deeper question, one I invite you to sit with as this cycle closes:

What part of me have I abandoned in order to survive?

There comes a moment in every soul’s journey when we realize that survival has a cost.
It’s not always measured in time or money, sometimes it’s paid in pieces of ourselves. The parts we’ve silenced, suppressed, or tucked away just to keep going.

Often, those are the most tender, vital expressions of who we truly are, the parts that once felt safe to feel, to dream, to create, before the world told us we had to be strong, realistic, or useful.

Somewhere along the way, we traded innocence for independence. Sensitivity for strength. Wonder for control. We learned to hide our softness to be taken seriously. We learned to silence our intuition to be accepted. We wore masks that helped us survive, until those masks began to suffocate us.

But what happens when the life we built on survival no longer fits?

When the armor that once protected us becomes too heavy to carry?

When the quiet ache inside whispers: You’ve been gone too long… it’s time to come home to yourself.

Reclaiming those lost parts isn’t about blaming the past, it’s about remembering. Remembering the version of ourselves who laughed freely, trusted deeply, and expressed without permission.

It’s about sitting with those silenced parts, the artist, the dreamer, the lover, the child, and saying:
I see you. I’m sorry I left you behind. You deserved more tenderness than I knew how to give.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming whole again. It’s about integrating what we abandoned in the name of survival and realizing that thriving requires something entirely different, presence, softness, authenticity, and love.

So ask yourself:
What part of me have I abandoned in order to survive?
And what would it look like to invite that part back home?

Because maybe, just maybe, the part you left behind is the missing piece to your freedom, your resilience, your path back to Life. Back to Love.

And that’s what I wish for all of you, to find that part again (if it’s been missing) and create something beautiful from it. Let it become your beacon, guiding you to reengage with Life, to believe in yourself again. Because you are, and have always been, a superhero.
