I’m Marie-Claire Thauvette, an award-winning coach recognized as Ottawa’s Marriage Counsellor of the Year (2024 & 2025) with 15 years of practice helping couples transform their relationships. Before coaching, I worked as a sexual education teacher and stress release coach, giving me decades of experience in teaching, listening, and guiding people with compassion.
I am trained in the Gottman Method and Dr. Sue Johnson’s EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), using both sets of tools alongside my own proven strategies to help couples thrive. My clients describe me as approachable, professional, fun, and intuitive—balancing warmth with the challenge couples need to grow.
I’ll bring compassion, science, intuition—and a whole lot of fun—to help you get where you want to go.
