Sail & live
differently
Support for professional sailors, cruising sailors
and their families
Welcome to your space dedicated to people of the sea,
a place where we learn to navigate within ourselves as well.
When life at sea feels heavier than it should,
when mental fatigue, stress or tensions on board take up too much space,
it sometimes becomes necessary to pause…
and to look differently at what is unfolding.
You are not alone
Mental health, stress and difficult relationships in
the maritime world
Life at sea — whether professional or personal — exposes sailors, cruising sailors and their families to realities that are rarely spoken about.
Many experience, at some point:
-
chronic mental fatigue
-
sleep disorders (difficulty falling asleep, night awakenings, non-restorative sleep)
-
constant stress and hypervigilance
-
emotional overload
-
irritability or suppressed anger
-
anxiety or panic attacks
-
difficulty concentrating and making decisions
-
persistent physical tension (neck, shoulders, back)
-
recurring headaches
-
stress-related digestive issues
-
feelings of isolation or loneliness
-
relationship tensions on board
-
toxic relationships or repeated conflicts
-
situations of harassment or abuse of power
-
loss of meaning, the desire to stop without knowing how
-
the impact of long absences on family life and sleep ashore
These situations are common in the maritime world.
They are not weaknesses.
They are signals.

Changing perspective on board
Taking back inner responsibility as a sailor
At sea, it is not always possible to change:
-
the crew
-
the hierarchy
-
the rhythm
-
the external conditions
However, what you can change,
is the way you respond to it:
your choices, your positioning, your energy.
Because at sea, there is more than weather, maneuvers and watches.
There is also what is happening inside…
and how it affects life on board and at home.
This is where inner reconnection begins — essential to continue sailing without burning out.
My first step toward change
Individual consultation – 90 minutes
for sailors, cruisers and their families
The 90-minute consultation is often the first space
where a sailor can finally put into words what they are experiencing,
without masks and without judgment.
It can also help clarify
how your inner state impacts your relationships,
on board and within your family.
The session unfolds in several stages:
1. Listening and dialogue
Understanding your current situation,
your mental fatigue, tensions and questions.
2. Insight through your birth energy map (Human Design)
Your chart is used as a support to highlight:
-
your natural way of functioning
-
current blockages
-
your innate resources
-
how you make aligned decisions
It is never used as a label,
but as a tool for understanding and clarity.
3. Emotional release work (EFT)
When relevant, EFT is used to:
-
calm stress
-
release emotional charges
-
create more inner space
4. Concrete, in full autonomy
The session ends with simple, realistic actions
adapted to your life as a sailor or navigator.
The consultation can be recorded (if you wish),
so you can revisit it and integrate at your own pace.

A global approach, grounded in maritime reality
My support is based on a global vision of the human being.
Quantum physics invites us to observe reality in a much broader way than visible matter alone,
beyond what we perceive with our five senses.
At sea and on land, everything is interconnected:
-
our thoughts
-
our words
-
our beliefs
-
our behaviors
-
our recurring patterns
These elements constantly influence one another and shape how we experience life at sea,
our relationships, our mental health and our family balance.
I support you in bringing awareness to these mechanisms,
so you can regain clarity, coherence and inner freedom,
at sea and in your personal and family life.

Marion Monnier
I have been immersed in the maritime world for over 25 years.
Former professional sailor, captain’s partner,
I now live with my family aboard our sailboat.
I am also a coach and practitioner in emotional and energetic support.
I use various tools, including:
-
Human Design chart reading
-
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
-
energetic and body-based practices
These tools are supports.
The heart of my work is inner reconnection,
inner autonomy, and the ability to navigate life at sea and as a family with greater awareness.
