Real Stories, Renewed Lives

"I suffered physical, mental, and verbal abuse for years—and it broke me down. I began to lose my identity. I used to be joyful and outgoing, but suddenly I became timid, withdrawn, and constantly sad. I avoided people, and over time, I couldn’t even recognize who I had become.

Coming to Mariannas Serenity Space was the turning point. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. For the first time, I realized that the pain I carried wasn’t my fault. I wasn’t to blame for the harm someone else had caused me.

Within just four sessions, I began to rediscover myself—my joy, my courage, and my voice. Counselling gave me the strength to step out of the abuse and begin a new journey of healing and wholeness."

T. N Ukraine

“I began to rediscover my joy, my courage—and myself.”

"I was suicidal, jobless, and deeply depressed. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. I was on the verge of being evicted, dealing with health issues, and overwhelmed by hopelessness. Someone I spoke to recommended I try counselling, and that’s how I found Mariannas Serenity Space.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much—but from the very first session, I felt something shift. I felt heard, seen, and hopeful again. Within just three counselling sessions, my entire outlook began to change. I started thinking differently, making healthier choices, and looking forward to each day.

In less than two months, I got a job—and that changed everything. My joy returned. My strength returned. My life began to heal—inside and out."

K.O., Bayelsa, Nigeria

“My strength returned. My joy returned. My life began to heal.”

"A relative recommended Mariannas Serenity Space to me, and it turned out to be a life-changing experience. I had recently returned from Ukraine due to the war, which disrupted my education and left me in a place of confusion and sadness. Sorting out my visa, my transfer, and trying to get re-admitted into another school felt overwhelming and impossible.

From my very first session, everything began to shift. I started to understand myself better and became more aware of the thoughts I was having—many of which were unfounded and fear-driven. With support, I learned to reframe my mindset and approach my challenges with clarity and peace.

One of the biggest revelations for me was discovering the strength that comes with a positive mindset. When I embraced hope, I began taking action. I made concrete plans for my academic path—both if things worked out and if they didn’t. In just a couple of months, I got re-admitted into school, relocated to another country, and continued my education with renewed focus and direction.

Mariannas Serenity Space gave me the tools to rise above the fog and reclaim control of my journey."

A. O New Zealand

“I regained clarity, hope, and direction when I felt completely lost.”

The serene and calming environment at MASS fostered a strong sense of confidence that any challenges or concerns I faced would be effectively addressed and resolved.

Going through counseling at MASS, has developed in me a deeper spiritual awareness of my identity and realities in Christ. Additionally, I have gained greater emotional clarity and self-awareness. Previously, I faced challenges in articulating my thoughts effectively, but the support provided at MASS has led to significant improvements in my ability to express myself.

I wholeheartedly recommend MASS without reservation. My experience at MASS has been outstanding, characterized by exceptional professionalism in addressing my concerns.

At MASS, I experienced a profound sense of being heard and valued. Through the guidance provided, I learned to move beyond purely emotional responses, gaining clarity in my perspective and decision-making. I also came to understand the detrimental effects of suppressing experiences without fully expressing them to God. Furthermore, I acquired valuable wisdom in navigating relationships while maintaining my commitment to God, consistently prioritizing His guidance in all circumstances.

Emotionally, I have grown to express my feelings with greater understanding, letting go of the hurt and pain from the past that led to many reflex crying. I now confidently embrace my authority as a child of God. I intentionally choose uplifting influences for my soul, swiftly rejecting negative words or past experiences that could hinder my present and future walk in purpose and relationship with God. Mentally, I have come to recognize that God is deeply invested in every aspect of my life, and I feel empowered to seek answers and ask questions with confidence

I highly recommend MASS for its transformative impact on body, soul, and spirit. The insightful and wisdom-driven action points provided have liberated me, fostering greater joy and enabling me to navigate my life’s various seasons with confidence and ease.

O.P

After graduating from school, I found myself grappling with feelings of brokenness and uncertainty about my future, compounded by struggles with sexual addictions. On the recommendation of a mentor, I sought support from Mrs. Marianna at MASS. Initially hesitant to share, I found solace through prayer, and MASS became a sanctuary for my healing journey. Opening up about my addictions in therapy sessions significantly eased my path to recovery. The empathetic guidance from my therapist illuminated a clear way forward, instilling hope for liberation from my challenges. Through her support, I gained a broader perspective beyond my immediate circumstances. Even when I stumble, I am empowered to rise, keep my focus upward, and pursue a consecrated life with steadfast determination. Mrs. Marianna’s guidance revealed underlying aspects of my life that were contributing to my external struggles, insights I had previously overlooked. I am profoundly grateful for her transformative support and the opportunity to connect with MASS.

My counseling experience at MASS has empowered me to embrace accountability and transparency. This has fostered profound personal growth and transformation in me.

I wholeheartedly recommend MASS for the intentional care and profound peace of mind each session delivers. The guidance provided has instilled in me a resilient belief in my ability to rise after setbacks and the confidence to fully overcome my challenges.

From the first session, I felt an inexplicable sense of safety and peace. I had trust issues and mental barriers when discussing my experiences, but during the counseling sessions, I felt assured that it was okay to speak openly. Mrs. Marianna was patient and calm, encouraging me to express my experiences fully instead of summarizing them. This greatly aided my healing and recovery.

A major change since starting counseling has been regaining the joy and light that my experiences had dimmed. I’ve healed from past trauma, moved on, and am now making progress. I’m more mentally stable, more positive, and have had no suicidal thoughts since beginning counseling. I’m more grateful, my relationship with God has improved, and I no longer speak negative words to myself. I’m less angry and more confident in my progress without comparing myself to others.

I would absolutely recommend MASS anywhere, anytime. The healing I experienced through their counseling was transformative. I achieved a breakthrough, became more open-minded, and learned how to tackle life’s challenges using spiritual, mental, social, and physical resources. Mrs. Marianna taught me these skills with professionalism, care, and wisdom. Her respectful and impactful approach made it easier for me to open up and truly heal.
