Founder & Program Director - Marjorie

Marjorie has always been passionate about animals and care. Born in France, her love for animals began early, leading her to intern at veterinary clinics by age 15. While life took her into a career in digital marketing with global companies, she stayed dedicated to giving back by volunteering at animal shelters in NYC, working with children suffering from polio in India, and helping building schools in Africa.

In 2023, Marjorie turned her lifelong passions into a purpose-driven career by pursuing various certification. Marjorie is certified in Switzerland as an Animal-Assisted Therapy and Animal-Assisted Coach by Agape. In the USA, she is certified by Horse-Powered Reading & Math and as an one of the first Europeans accredited by AAAIP as an Animal-Assisted Interventions Specialist.

Now based in the Berkshires with her family, Marjorie is excited to contribute to her community through animal-assisted programs, using her animal partners to inspire connection and growth.
