For Women Who’ve Been Uprooted and Are Ready to Thrive Again
I help relocated and career-focused women in West London rebuild what matters most: genuine connection, clear purpose, and embodied vitality—using neuroscience, not buzzwords.
You've Done Everything Right. So Why Are You Still Exhausted?
You've optimized your routines. You exercise regularly. You've read the books, tried the apps, invested in wellness. But you're still burnt out.
That's because most wellness advice misses the root cause: You're fundamentally disconnected.
From genuine friendships. From clear purpose. From your own nervous system.
When you relocate cities, transition careers, or prioritize achievement over relationships—you systematically sever the very things that sustain you. No amount of self-optimization will fix isolation.
The research is clear: Social connection and sense of purpose are stronger predictors of longevity than diet, exercise, or income. Yet these are the exact things ambitious, relocated women sacrifice first.
The 3 Roots of Sustainable Wellness
Most wellness focuses on symptoms. I focus on what research shows actually works.
ROOT 1: RECONNECTION
Social Connection & Genuine Belonging
Rebuilding genuine friendships and belonging after relocation or life transitions. Not networking—real connection.
What you'll learn:
The neuroscience of adult friendship formation
How to move beyond small talk to depth
Building your village in a new city
ROOT 2: REORIENTATION
Purpose & Identity Clarity
Clarifying what matters now and who you're becoming beyond roles and achievements.
What you'll explore:
Values clarification and life design
Identity reconstruction after transitions
Living with intention, not just optimization
ROOT 3: REGULATION
Nervous System Restoration
Restoring your nervous system through nature, rest, and embodied practices—not more productivity hacks.
What you'll practice:
Understanding stress physiology
Nature immersion and grounding
Sleep restoration and sustainable energy
I’m Dr. Marilyn Cyr—and I'm Rebuilding My Life in London Too
I'm a neuroscientist who's moved from Montreal to New York to London—while leaving academia, becoming a mother, and starting over more times than I can count.
Three months ago, I relocated to London. I'm 40, have two young kids, and I'm rebuilding my social network from scratch while launching this work.
I'm not teaching from a place of 'I figured it out years ago.' I'm navigating this WITH you—using neuroscience to guide us through what actually works.
I hold a PhD and PsyD in Psychology and Neuroscience. I spent a decade researching decision-making and habit formation at Columbia University. Now I'm applying that science to the challenges we face: burnout, loneliness, identity loss, and building meaningful lives after major transitions.
