Testimonies
“Marla is so gifted at getting to the heart of the matter. Only moments after getting settled, she was able to speak hope and truth right into the places I needed. Throughout the session, I felt the peace and compassion of the Lord in my heart; and more than anything, that has changed my life since. After leaving, immediately called a friend to recommend that…

“Words could never express how grateful I am for Marla. She helped facilitate one of the biggest breakthroughs in my walk with God – this is coming from a guy that is a war veteran, a son from a broken home, and a father. I had completely forgotten how much God loved me. Marla created such a comfortable environment where I could completely process my…

“I recommend Renew Hope to pretty much everyone I speak to that is going through…well, life! Life gets messy, and sometimes I can’t see through the mess. Marla has helped me see through the mess, walk through hard things, and championed me along the way. She has a knack for quickly and painlessly getting to the heart of any matter – even when I didn’t…
Traci S.
“In life there are pivotal moments that define and shape us. Meeting Marla was one of them for me. She provided a space that was comforting, encouraging, and full of love. God had just revealed to me that the core of all my desires and fears was a broken heart…ever since I was a child. That was the bondage which was holding me back. God…

“We are so glad we had Marla to go to when we walked through the most difficult time in our marriage. Her steadfast love and presence was such a comfort for us when we were at our most broken and vulnerable. She taught us so much of what it means to lead others with grace and she is the most influential encourager we have ever…
Mark & Christie
“When I came to see Marla, I was in the process of an ugly, drawn out divorce after leaving a 17-year abusive marriage. I felt beat down, tired, confused, and afraid. As I shared my story, I received validation and unconditional love. My inner healing journey was life-changing; and without fail, by the end of the session I felt so much lighter, like I had…

“I came to Marla because I was feeling overwhelmed and hopeless with my issues, addiction, and growth. My sessions with her were like emotional and spiritual CPR. I feel revitalized, encouraged, heard, and equipped after processing with her. I know my life is in a healthier place because of her impact and how God has used her. I had been dealing with dreams that triggered…
Dylan R.D.J.
“My sister knew that I was really struggling with some past wounds and graciously paid for my flight to Alaska and three sessions with Marla. I thought ‘What the heck?’ and decided to give it a try. I was dealing with the loss of my mother for 48 years and was so mad at God. My connection with Marla was instant as she met me…
Cathy C.
“Recently, I reached out to Marla because I was running into areas of my soul where habits and lies had become normal; I needed someone to counsel me through them. Marla took the time to help me grow in these areas and listened to where my heart was at – where it needed compassion and healing. I learned that God created our souls in such…
Rachel L.
“We were blessed to have Marla do our marriage counseling. She was as excited as we were nervous to give us the tools we didn’t know we needed, but did it all with grace. She asked us questions and listened. Didn’t correct or rebuke any of the wrong thinking we had. Still to this day we are reminded by her words to never say ‘never’…
Micah & Hayley
“I reached out to Marla because she has the deep heart-capacity to bear loving witness to my journey. I wanted to talk with someone who could track with me for a while, who trusts me maybe even more than I trust myself, who mirrors me back to myself with truth, who has a keen inner-ear tuned to Spirit, and who has the tools to do…
Mica D.

Amy M.
“I am incredibly thankful for having found Marla and Renew Hope. She is truly one of the most genuine people I have met and is absolutely BRILLIANT at what she does. I felt so safe and comfortable with her. What I appreciated most about Marla is, one, she didn’t make me feel ‘bad’ or ‘wrong’. She shared stories from her own life, and in some…
Stephanie S.
“Marla was such an amazing help and blessing. She was personalized in her care for me each session and I found tremendous healing quickly. The tools and resources she used proved to be not only applicable in the session with her directly, but also at home and in my personal relationships. I am so thankful for the wisdom and support I received with Marla. She…
