Rebecca Shisler Marshall, PhD

Rebecca Shisler Marshall, PhD, is an integrative wellness and life coach based in Athens, Georgia. She describes her work as bridging science and spirituality, and she founded Centered Living to support women, especially professional women moving through midlife, perimenopause and other life transitions, who feel burned out, anxious or disconnected from themselves.

Her path to this work began with her own experience. She was an overachiever with a PhD, multiple master's degrees and many publications, yet she was exhausted and dealing with migraines, PCOS and high cholesterol. When doctors dismissed her symptoms or offered quick fixes, she went looking for a more whole-person approach. She was an Associate Professor for 22 years before turning to coaching.

Rebecca combines a background in cognitive psychology with training in integrative wellness, shamanic practice and women's health. Her credentials include a PhD in Cognitive Psychology, a master's in Speech-Language Pathology, and certifications as a Health and Wellness Coach, Wayfinder Life Coach and Integrative Life Coach. She is also a mindfulness and yoga instructor, a Reiki master and a shamanic practitioner.

Her Five Wellness Bodies framework looks at physical, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual wellbeing together. It underpins her Whole Body Upgrade podcast, her book of the same name, her individual coaching sessions and her course. She also leads A Place to Rest, a community offering energetic rest sessions. She sees clients virtually and in person, with an emphasis on nervous system regulation, sustainable self-care and compassionate, nonjudgmental support.
