Hi, I’m Marie O’Neill, the founder of Padma Life Coaching.

Imagine living a life free from the echoes of the past, fully present and empowered. That’s the transformation I guide my clients toward. As an emotionally informed trauma expert, author, and astrologer with over two decades of experience, my passion is helping you heal, rediscover your authentic self, and boldly claim the life you’re meant to live.

My Journey: From Healing to Guiding

My path began with my own healing journey as a trauma survivor. I delved into astrology, metaphysics, and Eastern philosophy, traveling the world and immersing myself in ancient wisdom. This led me to become a Journey Practitioner, an Evolutionary Astrologer, a Past Life Regressionist, a Life Coach, and a Tarot Reader. I even spent four years studying native healing techniques – knowledge often lost in our modern world.

Using a unique blend of holistic methodologies, I not only overcame decades of pain but discovered my true calling: to share this profound gift of healing and empowerment with others. In 2005, I earned m Coaching Certification and founded Padma Life Coaching, dedicated to providing tools to experience life free from worry, anger, resentment, and pain. My memoir, “…and the Lotus Opened,” published in 2020, shares my personal story of finding freedom and trusting in The Divine and my inner self.

Why Work with Marie?

Choosing a coach is a deeply personal decision. Here’s what makes working with me a unique and powerful experience:

  • Deep Expertise in Trauma & Healing: As an emotionally informed trauma expert and author of “…and the Lotus Opened,” I bring profound understanding and a proven roadmap for turning adversity into strength.
  • 20 Years of Coaching Mastery: With two decades of hands-on coaching experience (since 2005) and soon-to-be PCC certification with the ICF, I offer a blend of seasoned wisdom and cutting-edge techniques.
  • Astrology for Soul-Level Insight: My background as an Evolutionary and Esoteric Astrologer, a mentor at Steven Forrest’s FCEA (2021-2023), and a Kepler College instructor means we’ll explore your unique cosmic blueprint for deeper self-understanding.
  • Empowering Astrologers with Coaching Skills: I teach astrologers at Kepler College how to guide clients to their own solutions, fostering active participation and personal discovery rather than just providing answers. This commitment continually refines my own client-centered approach.
  • Visible & Trusted Voice: From co-hosting the Kepler College YouTube series “Let’s Talk Astrology Business” to guest appearances on “Talk Cosmos’s Astro Jam” and Evolve Plus, and my own “Ask Coach Marie” series, I actively share insights and contribute to the astrological and coaching communities. I am also the VP of Strategic Initiatives at Kepler College.
  • Your Storyteller & Guide: I believe your story is your power. Having taught masterclasses on crafting compelling “About Me” pages and bios, I’m uniquely positioned to help you articulate your own journey and build a life that resonates with your deepest truth.

Your Transformation Awaits

I’m located in Santa Rosa, CA, and I guide people all over the world through personalized coaching, virtual engagements, and healing retreats. No matter where you are, if you’re ready to unlock your potential, heal what holds you back, and create a life that truly reflects your soul’s desires, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

Let’s write your next chapter together.
