Lumia Life Coach:
Marie Copher
As an experienced wellness professional working with diverse populations from all walks of life for decades, I use various theories rooted in positive psychology to help my clients achieve a better understanding of themselves and build on their strengths in order to grow and flourish. One-on-one sessions provide a roadmap for achieving realistic and actionable goals for long-lasting change.
I’m a first-generation Latinx womxn who grew up on the Mexican-American border, and am proud to now call Sacramento home with my husband and teenage daughter.
What’s your story? How can I help you shape it?
Hi Friends! I'm Marie!
I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and am a proud JRNI Alumna. I’ve worked as a social worker and counselor for over 20 years in non-profit, hospice and government agencies. I have had the pleasure of working with a culturally diverse population of people, young and old, coming from all walks of life. I speak, read and write Spanish fluently and am proud to coach in either English or Spanish.
To relax, I take long walks with my dog Sasha in our neighborhood and occasionally take her to the river. I also enjoy doing yoga, reading and enjoying a glass of wine or two on my porch with my husband. For fun, I love dancing, trying out new restaurants, and playing Heads Up with my family. Last year, I took up learning to play the bass (which makes me feel like a badass). This year, I plan to learn to ride a motorcycle!
Let’s work together to identify your strengths and apply them towards your goals, making sure that you are the driving force behind your own achievements.

Why did you sign up for coaching?
I was presented with this opportunity and it just happened to be very timely. I had been trying to figure out how to achieve a particular goal when Marie's coaching was offered.
Did you achieve your goal?
I had previously been working towards this goal for about 7 years but after 6 weeks of coaching with Marie, I had a clear action plan, broken down into realistic steps which I was able to incorporate into my schedule.
What was your biggest take away?
This experience was such a different approach to establishing action steps toward achieving a goal. I will certainly use Marie in the future when working to fulfill my dreams and goals.
