Sunlight Staffer -  Mariette Jones

Mariette Jones, Licensed Unity Teacher, took early retirement (she likes to say rewirement) from the Windsor-Detroit Borderlink (Tunnel) on June 1, 2020.


Since then, she has
been exploring what it means to facilitate, teach, encourage, empower and inspire from an online presence, mainly in the form of short videos on You Tube (LOVE SPEAKS!) and longer sessions on Zoom.

 

Mariette has been a part of the Gertrude’s family for some time now. She has a gorgeous smile that explodes out of her star-bright eyes!
