15 years experience
I’m Marie-Claire Thauvette, an award-winning coach, recognized as Ottawa’s Marriage Counsellor of the Year (2024 & 2025) with over 15 years of practice helping couples transform their relationships. Before coaching, I worked as a sexual education teacher and stress release coach, giving me decades of experience in teaching, listening, and guiding people with compassion.

My clients describe me as approachable, professional, fun, and intuitive, balancing warmth with the challenge couples need to grow.
I’ll bring compassion, science, intuition, and a whole lot of fun to help you get where you want to go.
