For people and households
What would a good ordinary week look like for you? More time together, something of your own to get absorbed in, or people you look forward to seeing?
I am Marc. We can explore what life here could become, whether you are considering a move, newly arrived or have lived here for years. Bring the hopes as well as the practical questions. Each person in a household can want something different.
Let's begin with a conversation
Bring an unfinished thought about life or work in Guernsey. There is space to meet, hear what matters to you and explore what might be useful before agreeing how to work together.

A focused Magic Wand Session
Bring one consequential question about moving, settling or building a life here. We name the real knot and work out the next useful move.
The session is complete in itself. There is no obligation to continue.

Working together over time
Usually we find a rhythm around a weekly coffee or conversation, with about an hour together as a starting point. I get to know you, your life, your business and what matters around it, so our conversations can go deeper as things unfold.
£2,000 a month is a guide. We agree the involvement and fee together, with flexibility around travel, availability and changing needs. You can cancel any time; larger pieces of work are agreed separately.
Arrange a conversationWhat a session can feel like
You bring one consequential question. For 90 minutes we explore what sits underneath it, and we finish by agreeing the next useful move. You do not need to prepare anything.
Here are three illustrative questions, written to show the shape of the work. They are not stories about real clients.
Partners considering a move
“One of us is excited about Guernsey. The other is not sure. How do we decide together?”
- A clearer choice
- What each of you is hoping for, said in your own words.
- A conversation to have
- What would make the move good for the more hesitant partner, not only acceptable.
- A next step to test
- A visit planned around ordinary weekdays rather than holiday highlights.
A household finding its feet
“The practical move is done. What would make this feel like our home?”
- A clearer choice
- The small things each person misses and the things they are curious to try.
- A conversation to have
- A household conversation that gives quieter hopes room alongside the urgent tasks.
- A next step to test
- Try one enjoyable activity together, without expecting instant friendships.
An established resident
“Work is winding down. What would make an ordinary week here feel meaningful again?”
- A clearer choice
- Which parts of working life you want to keep, and which you are glad to leave.
- A conversation to have
- With the people you live alongside about how your days will change.
- A next step to test
- One regular commitment for a month, to see how it feels.
Every conversation goes its own way, so the useful outcome will be yours, not one of these.
Considering a move
You might be drawn to Guernsey while your partner wants something different. Or you might be a founder weighing business choices alongside family life, or approaching retirement and wondering what a good ordinary week could become.
Start with housing eligibility, each partner's work plans and the free Household Decision Worksheet. Then we can think through the question and options together, without assuming a move is the answer.
Newly arrived
Practical arrangements may be taking shape while your sense of home is still catching up. Each person can need a different pace, different interests and their own reasons to be here. The first 90 days guide and making friends page are useful starting points.
Already here, wanting change
You do not need a relocation story. Work may have changed, children may have left home, or a new chapter may be asking for attention. You might be a private individual or investor considering what to support here, or finding a different shape to life after selling a business. We can look at what matters now and agree a next step that feels worth taking.
We can look beyond the first answer, untangle different hopes and find something you are curious to try. In an ongoing relationship we return to what is taking shape. When a connection could help, I ask both people before making an introduction.
If an employer is paying
An employer can fund a focused Magic Wand Session or Working together over time, with the ongoing arrangement personally agreed. There is no separate employer package or volume programme.
The person or household remains central. Paying does not entitle an employer to private conversations, and I do not promise reports about them. Any payer communication is explicitly agreed with the client beforehand.
Clear boundaries
Lawyers, relocation professionals, the Population Management Office, property specialists, tax advisers and other qualified providers keep their own roles. I do not replace legal, immigration, property, tax, regulatory, health, schooling or safeguarding advice.
Questions people ask
- What does it cost?
- A focused Magic Wand Session is £1,000 for 90 minutes. For ongoing work, £2,000 a month is a guide; we agree the rhythm and involvement together. A weekly coffee or conversation is a usual starting point, with flexibility around travel and changing needs. Larger pieces of work are agreed separately. You can cancel any time.
- Do I have to choose ongoing support?
- No. A focused Magic Wand Session is complete in itself, with no obligation to continue. You can book it directly without an exploratory meeting first. If we consider Working together over time, both of us choose whether it is right.
- Can my employer pay?
- Yes. An employer, household or business can fund a personally agreed arrangement. The person or household remains central, and payment gives no access to private conversations. Any payer communication is explicitly agreed with the client beforehand.
- Do I need to be moving now?
- No. You might be considering Guernsey, newly here, or have lived here for years and still want to find your place.
- What is not included?
- Permits, removals, property, legal advice, tax advice and regulated professional work remain with the qualified providers responsible for them.
- Will you introduce me to people?
- When a connection could help, I consider who might be a good fit and ask both sides before making an introduction. There is no quota and no guarantee of access, work or friendship.
