Hi, I’m...

Marejka (‘Rakes’) Knigge

— and I’m here to help you break old cycles, reclaim your power, and activate the dream life that’s waiting for you.

I help ambitious women release self-sabotage, heal from trauma, and step confidently into their most authentic, aligned, and extraordinary lives.

Why I Do This Work

For years, I looked successful on the outside but felt stuck and unfulfilled inside. I played by the rules, ticked the boxes, but deep down I knew I was meant for more.

I know what it feels like to struggle with trauma, stress, and unhealthy coping strategies while still holding it all together for everyone else. And I also know the freedom that comes from breaking those cycles and building a life that feels deeply aligned.

That’s why I’m passionate about helping women like you create lives that feel expansive, authentic, and free.

My Journey to Empower Rise Coaching

I’ve walked this path myself. My story includes childhood abuse, losing a parent to cancer, narcissistic abuse, alcohol use disorder, and postnatal depression and anxiety.

Through each challenge, I discovered tools and practices that not only helped me survive — but empowered me to thrive.

For over 20 years, I built a career in leadership within the disability support sector. But my true calling came when I realised my lived experience, combined with my coaching and mindset expertise, could change lives.

Now, I bring together trauma-informed coaching, NLP techniques, and spiritual practices like tarot, visualisation, and manifestation to guide women into their most authentic, empowered selves.

My Approach

I believe:

  • You are not broken.

  • Healing and growth must honour both mind and body.

  • Energy is sacred and how you use it shapes your life.

  • Self-trust, authenticity, and conscious action are the cornerstones of an extraordinary life.

My approach is both practical and spiritual: blending nervous system regulation, subconscious rewiring, and manifestation practices with compassion, honesty, and unwavering belief in your potential.

When I’m Not Coaching...

I’m a mum, a gym lover, and a coffee enthusiast who’s just as likely to be found lifting weights as I am creating soul-nourishing content for my clients. I love spoiling people with random acts of kindness and believe laughter is medicine.

Your Dream Life Won’t Wait.

Why Should You?
