Putting your sexual pleasure and wellbeing FIRST.
Let’s talk about sex… positivity.
Because let’s face it, we’re not there yet. Particularly when it comes to women of a certain age…
Whether you’re 18 or 90, human sexuality is something to be celebrated, embraced, and enjoyed. And whilst midlife can bring big changes that might scare us (hello menopause), imagine if we changed our perspective to embrace all the cool stuff this stage of our life can offer – if only we let it in.
I’m talking about enhanced sexual confidence, improved relationship dynamics, increased time and freedom, end of menstrual cycles (wahoo!), and most importantly, shifting priorities from reproductive goals to pleasure-oriented sexual experiences. Read that part again.
So, that’s where I come in. Your advocate. Your spokeswoman. Your cheerleader. Here to empower you to navigate your own desires and lead a healthy, fulfilling, and pleasurable sex life.
Hi, I’m Marie
After 25 years leading global climate and sustainability initiatives in senior roles, I did what anyone in midlife does… left my marriage of 20 years and completely changed my career trajectory! However, my experience working with global organisations means I’m well placed to understand the nuances of corporate life and the workplace wellbeing gap – especially for women. This is precisely why I decided to train as a certified clinical sexologist and founded my coaching practice “Lilith your Life”, to help women (re)connect with their sexual wants, needs and desires.
Brought up in France and based in London (but regularly dipping into my Nomadic lifestyle), I actively advocate for sex-positivity, exploring sexual desires, and embracing pleasure. Over the last few years, I’ve been on my own deeply healing transformational journey, slowly finding myself again, and for the first time in my life, acknowledging and understanding my own needs and sexual desires.
Now? I simply want the same for you…
…For you to tune into your real wants and needs. To feel able to voice those desires. To honour the part of you that deserves to be heard. To truly connect to yourself. To embrace every part of your sexuality and sense of self. And most of all, to start exploring and enjoying life under a new, exciting lens!

Read my book.
The story of Manhunting in Manhattan started shaping up many moons ago. It was inspired by my own journey – a journey of deep emotions, sexual exploration and self-affirmation.
It follows 40-something Lilith who finds herself single after moving to suburban New York. Feeling trapped and living a life she hadn’t envisaged, Lilith soon discovers a part of herself that has been suppressed for far too long.
The book touches on many topics related to female sexuality, female pleasure and other topics that are still taboo – my hope is that it helps create a space for conversations and connections.
I chose to write under a pen name as I want the book to be about Lillith’s story, a story that other women can relate to, regardless of different life choices.
All of this would have never happened without Amy Killingbeck, my partner in crime – not only is she a talented copywriter, she’s also an amazing woman and my friend who helped me shape and write this book, which was born out of our incredible collaboration.
“It’s that rare thing of being brilliant fun and also starkly human and redemptive.”
“Such an empowering, joyous read!”
“It was so refreshing to read about a woman so clear about her wants and not settling for less.”
