Re: free downloadable Lecture on The Power of Music:
"What a beautiful lecture you delivered, I just read it. Hope everyone liked it (and will like it). Happiness is a bliss in our hearts! Thank you, dear, for bringing joy, hope and peace to the world. Amen!"

"My past prevented me from living in the present, but luckily I ove to help others, which eased my misery. After many therapists I came across Marja and by chance I heard about Liberation Coaching. I immediately became enthusiastic: this is an opportunity for me! The phone appointment had been made, I received information by email to prepare myself, and then the time had come (exciting!)... I was so glad I wasn't allowed to talk about my past at all. We did not look at topics, but at how the stress of it presented itself to me here and now. Within 50 minutes I spontaneously exclaimed: "I've never felt so happy!" It surprised me totally. Such a relief! We are now a year and a half later. I don't even remember what was going on. I can handle life so much easier now and that makes me very grateful."

Recently I took Liberation Coaching from Marja. I worked on a theme that really bothered me.
Marja did not allow me to explain the issue at all. In stead, she coached me how to transform the burden of it myself. It took no longer than 20 mins and was done by phone.
Even now that I am writing this review, I cannot even remember what the issue has been! Isn't that amazing?!
In short, I highly recommend coaching by Marja."

"Five years ago I decided to ask Marja for Liberation Coaching. I had done a lot before to live more freely and happily and to become myself more. Nevertheless, it was still rumbling in the depths. How surprising when - after only 45 minutes of Liberation Coaching by phone ( ! )- there was a sudden peace. It appeared to be easy, even fun to do. It has helped me so much! I wish for others to have this experience too... highly recommended."

"Last year I contacted Marja for Addiction Coaching. Before we started I was very enthusiastic about it, and went into it with a lot of hope and joy!
As we went on for a while, I became more and more skeptical, since the 'treatment' over the phone was so short and quite simple! When we were done Marja asked: “So, wanna cigarette?”. To which my answer was: "Not at the moment, but I think in an hour.".
Then I stared all day at my ashtray and lighter, why I didn't feel like a cigarette?!?? In the end I couldn't even remember what a cigarette tastes, smells, and feels like!
I have experienced my 'treatment' as pleasant, simple and - perhaps most importantly - cosy! All in all, I definitely recommend contacting Marja, in case you're considering to quit smoking!"
Joke Koot, The Netherlands - Westervoort (biologist, artist), 2022, July 8:
"Marja helped me to get rid of my osteoarthritis. She used a pendulum to measure a diet for me. The outcome sometimes surprised me, such as no regular cheese, but goat cheese. It was not easy for me to stick to the diet, and I did not always manage to follow it through.
In addition to the diet, I also took biochemical cell salts: an interesting way to support your health, which even can be done with symbol cards. I also took Glucosamine, which I used before.
This whole package has probably ensured that my wrist felt somewhat better. I still try to apply most of my nutritional advice, and take a glass of sauerkraut juice in the morning for detoxification.
Dealing with Marja has made me more aware of organic purchasing and minimising the use of toxic substances such as fragrances as much as possible.
Marja inspires me to take an active role myself for my health and for nature. It's wonderful to see Marja's drive, her commitment is great."

"Marja, your solo concert was beautiful. At times I was really moved. So musical, so beautifully phrased, so pure; beautiful vibrato with which you also played, beautiful timbre, varied program. Really a top concert! Hope you enjoy. It was really cool!"
Gabriella Jacubowicz, Israel - Jerusalem (lawyer, translator, healer, artist), 2022, July 21:
"I enjoy listening to several solo CDs with her amazing voice, that touches your soul directly. My husband spoke English, Polish and Hebrew, but still managed to feel the exact meaning of each song in other languages thanks to Marja's sincere expression."
Aukeline van Hoytema, the Netherlands (musicologist, head of the Cultural Programs Department TROS Radio-4); 1996:
"We enjoyed playing Your CD in our program, Aukeline van Hoytema."
Hanne Marie Janse, The Netherlands - Venlo (professional musician: teaching and performing recorder player, (amateur) singer, Shanty choirmaster), 2022, July 9:
"I learned a lot in the Online Singing Lessons that Marja gave me last year. I liked that we worked on the issues I encountered while singing self chosen pieces. In addition, I received practical and concrete exercises and tips for basical voice building.
I have great respect for Marja's keen perception and intense attention. She gave me new input and inspiration for my own teaching practice as well."
Ank Reinders, The Netherlands - The Hague (Lieder singer and vocal coach), 1995, September 25:
"She passed her solo singing exam with high grades. Now she only needs some specific clues. No one better than Mrs. Christa Ludwig, who bears the Austrian honorific of "Kammersängerin", can bestow that on her. Yours faithfully, Ank Reinders."
Christa Ludwig, France - Mougins (one of the greatest Lieder and opera singers in the world), 1995, September 30:
"You can come, I made me free for you. Seeing forward with the best greetings, yours Christa Ludwig."
Paula Manders, The Netherlands - Dieren (nurse), 2022, August 5:
"A few years ago my mother and I went to a concert of Marja. Marja is a versatile, professional singer. She accompanies herself with various instruments. Her lyrics contain messages of life and love in different languages. My 93 year old mother often listens to her CDs on which Marja's voice sings harmonies as a sweet-toned whole. It makes my mother feel good."
Petra van der Hoeven, Spanje - Mallorca (mental coach, former B&B owner); 2022, July 1:
"Marja's Singing Lessons are highly recommended!
As a true professional, she is both very practical and to the point. In almost no time you learn so much. This creates a strong basis to build on, further and further.
It makes me feel happy and liberated. The things Marja teaches me are not only very effective for my singing... I can apply them in many ways during daily life as well."
Jean Hishon, United Kingdom - Herts (Lieder and opera choral singer, conductor); 1995, September 21:
"She is enthousiastic and shows a lot of musicality, a true contralto."
