MR-Method© is the new standard for trauma sensitive and informed acting teaching, directing & other creative practices.

This method is consent based, trauma informed, life affirming, salutogenic, inspirational and it supports healing.

The M-R Technique, developed by Marjo Riikka Mäkelä, is a holistic, trauma-informed method that merges the timeless principles of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique with cutting-edge practices for nervous system regulation. This unique approach offers a pathway for healing and self-expression, empowering you to live more fully both in your creative endeavors and in your personal life.

Creative Flow & Emotional Release: A seamless combination of imagination-based acting techniques with practices that address and release emotional blockages.

Nervous System Resilience: Integrating somatic techniques to ground, calm, and regulate your nervous system, so you can perform or create without the weight of anxiety or unresolved trauma.

Whole Body Creativity: Engage your body, mind, and emotions as one cohesive system, allowing for deeper creative exploration and healing.

Access a deeper level of creativity by using specific exercises designed to awaken your imagination and intuition.

In Marjo-Riikka’s own words:

”MR-Method© has been born from my 30 years of experience in acting coaching and healing. MR-Method© is the culmination of HOW I coach presence, feeling of emotional and physical ease, Chekhov technique, and intimacy direction.

MR-Method© is also the HOW I coach and support my clients when it comes to healing of trauma. How to empower oneself, connect and align with one’s own purpose, while also learning to connect with fellow travelers with ease.

MR-Method© focuses on the wisdom of our nervous system & power of our imagination in creating the way of being we wish to embody in our every day life.”

Marjo-Riikka Mäkelä can coach either in English or in Finnish.
