For more than 15 years, Marie Crews has guided and empowered women through growth and transformation. Along her 25-year journey of self-discovery, she created The Nautilus Way: Write Your Way Free, a proven process that accelerates emotional breakthroughs by rewiring limiting beliefs, gaining clarity, developing confidence, and shaping their lives with intention.

As a coach, speaker, and retreat facilitator, Marie’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. Raised in poverty in rural Louisiana, she became a single mother of two at a young age. Feeling called to support women's healing, she left corporate America in 2012 to launch her coaching practice.

In 2017, Marie lost her son suddenly, less than 2 years after her mother’s unexpected passing. Even in her darkest hours, she refused to let grief define her. Her persistence in rising from profound loss, combined with years of coaching experience, uniquely qualifies her to guide women with compassion, courage, and hope. 

Marie is a Certified Grief Guide and Empowerment Life Coach. She has led transformational women’s retreats for 7 years and is the best-selling author of Even When… She Rose.
