YOUR PATH IN LIFE?

HI THERE, I'M MARIE
Author, inspirational speaker, retreat guide and so much more... I'm here to cheer people on and help them bare witness to their own journey.
Through my own life experiences I now live by the motto that “no matter what you are facing or going through in life, YOU have the power to make changes and create new miracles."
Ultimately, you have the power to choose what you are believing and telling yourself about your life.
Life is about choices, believing in yourself, and having the courage to face all of your fears. No matter what we are facing it’s up to you how you react, what you accept, and what you believe.
Change your story, change your life!
DARE TO CHOOSE
THE PROGRAM
Dare to Choose is about inspiring people to look at the choices they are making and asking themselves are these choices serving them well. Are they living life on their terms or are they bound by fear?
Every day we are faced with having to make choices. Sometimes fear stops us from choosing what we really want and we find ourselves choosing something that feels safer and not necessarily something that we truly want but we do it anyway.
The Dare to Choose community encourages you to step outside of the fear zone and choose things and do things that make you happy, that add value to your life.
THE BOOK
DARE TO CHOOSE
A Journey of Self Healing
Dare to Choose chronicles Marie’s story as a cancer survivor, recounting the moments following the devastating news and the incredible life transformation that she underwent to take back control of her body and her fate, turning her disease into an opportunity to become the best version of herself she could possibly be; stronger, healthier, and more open to belief and love than ever before.
Dare to Choose is also the fulfillment of a personal promise. The promise to give back, reach out, and lend a hand through her words to all others who might be travelling down an unexpected fork in the road. This book is your wake-up call.

CHEERS
FOR DARE TO CHOOSE
I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to participate in such an amazing weekend retreat with Dare to Choose & Marie Chronopoulos.
It was exactly what I needed and I have come away almost feeling like a different person. Marie, Rose and Lili were all absolutely awesome. I felt supported every step of the way. One of the highlights was the Hammam Steam bath experience.
Though the best part really was meeting such an amazing group of women. I will certainly be focusing more on self care moving forward. I certainly felt incredibly pampered during the whole experience and my expectations were well untruly exceeded.

POW !’ I have just enjoyed the most exhilarating weekend at a ‘Dare to Choose You Retreat ‘ hosted by Maria Chronopoulos in the leafy folds of the Daylesford hills.
With a massage at the ancient Hepburn Springs Spa, so began the laying of foundations towards self love in order for me to reconnect to my body. Marie adds a sprinkle of simple rituals that ignites positive self talk to embrace your day. Her insight in the techniques of meditation and visualisation came first hand as she herself overcame a rare cancer.
However the most sensational experience was the fact that every woman present found a facet of themselves inspired by her enthusiasm. Whether it was the steam of the Turkish Hammam which leaves your body buzzing with exhilaration and renewed enthusiasm to be the best person you can be for myself.
Or the wholesome vegetarian cuisine, prepared by the most authentic women ever to grace a kitchen. Having her care and creativity woven into every morsels of food that nourishes our soul. Marie’s wholistic approach to healing the very essence of a ‘Women’s needs’ was like a magical elixir that guided us into embracing our inner goddess.
The friendships you take away add to the colourful tapestry of this luxurious weekend.
