ABOUT MARLENE ZEHNTER 

I love all things nervous system

My mission is to walk alongside you as you learn to regulate your nervous system, create deeper self-awareness, get into joyful, sustainable action, and love yourself fiercely.

All this for you to rule your own world. And together, we change the world—one nervous system at a time.

Why? When we tap into the wisdom of our nervous system, we open the door to a life filled with safety, possibility, awe, and deep fulfilment. A life that belongs uniquely to us—one that makes our eyes sparkle like a child seeing snow for the first time.

From Dreamer to Dream Realiser

I felt stuck and frustrated. Constantly stressed. I numbed with Netflix, food, and overthinking. I lived in a chronic stress response, far from the peace and freedom I longed for.

There was a time when I didn’t believe. Not in myself. Not in my dreams. Not even that life was on my side.

How I got here
Traveling in a van and living close to nature

And yet, I had so many dreams:

Feeling at home in my body
Building a meaningful, successful business
A loving, understanding partnership
But here’s what I know now: Action is only the final step.

Real, lasting change happens when we work from the inside out—through the body, the emotions, and most of all, the nervous system.

I’ve learned that around 75% of dream realization comes from inner work—and only 25% from strategy and doing.

Why? Because every action is driven by your nervous system, your emotions, your thoughts.

"Just post more. Eat less. Push harder."

For most of my life, I thought the answer was more action:

Building dreams, achieving goals & changing your reality starts with the nervous system

Whether you're asking yourself:

How do I live more autonomously and fulfill my dreams?

How do I release stress from the body?

Why can’t I reach my goals?

How do I heal my nervous system?

The answer is always: through the nervous system work. Once you learn this, everything changes.

Do you want to join me in realising your dreams through working with the nervous system?

my values

Trust in truth:

A deep inner knowing that you are guided, equipped, and enough. Life is on your side.

Connection & Community:

While healing is possible alone, connection and community can amplify it beautifully.

Safety & Grounding: 

Growth begins in safety. Not by pushing harder but by expanding into your natural state through nervous system regulation.

Loving Embrace:

Compassion, self-awareness, and honoring your true self are at the heart of our work together.

Nervous system regulation is at the core of everything I do. Over the years of practice, I've identified three other core skills that support you in turning your dreams into reality in an easy, joyful and sustainable way. These overall 4 essential inner skills underlie all my sessions and workshops. It’s what I call the G.O.A.L. Skillset.

My Approach

The Nervous System Work and the G.O.A.L. Skillset

These are tools we often explore in 1:1 coaching:

Love: Embrace all of you, even the parts you were taught to hide.

Ground: Learn to regulate your nervous system and feel safe from within aka the nervous system work

Observe: Meet yourself with awareness, not judgment.

Act: Take aligned steps rooted in love, not fear.
