Marcia Diamond is the founder of Awaken MBS and a holistic practitioner with over 20 years of bodywork experience and more than 38 years of lived exploration in movement, emotional wellbeing, and energetic healing.

Her work is grounded in the understanding that the body holds experience — and when met with presence, safety, and awareness, it naturally knows how to return to balance.

Marcia’s path began at 19 when she opened her first dance studio in Chile, where she first discovered the power of movement as a tool for emotional expression, connection, and wellbeing. After relocating to Sydney, she spent more than 12 years working in early childhood education, deepening her understanding of emotional development, nervous system regulation, and relational safety.

Over the years, Marcia has trained extensively in kinesiology, Reiki, Brain Gym, Hawaiian healing arts, and a range of somatic and energetic modalities, holding IICT-accredited qualifications in advanced bodywork and holistic healing practices. For the past 9 years, she has also been teaching Heartworks Lomi Lomi, sharing this deeply restorative healing art in a way that is grounded, intuitive, and heart-led.

Today, Marcia weaves together decades of professional experience, personal growth, and embodied practice into an approach that supports people in reconnecting with themselves through bodywork, movement, education, and community. As Awaken MBS continues to evolve, she is passionate about expanding her offerings through workshops, mentoring, and wellness experiences that share the wisdom and knowledge gathered across her 38-year journey.

At the heart of Marcia’s work is a simple principle: when a person feels safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, the innate intelligence of the mind, body, and heart can reconnect to greater balance, clarity, resilience, and joy — supporting a more connected and optimal way of living.
