Dr. Marilyn Cyr - Rooted Again London
Dr. Marilyn Cyr is a neuroscientist and clinical psychologist who has relocated from Montreal to New York to London—while leaving academia, becoming a mother, and rebuilding her life from scratch multiple times.
She holds a PhD and PsyD in Psychology and Neuroscience and spent a decade researching decision-making, habit formation, and stress at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
After moving to London in September 2025, Marilyn realized that habit optimization doesn't solve loneliness—women need community. She founded Rooted Again London to help relocated, career-focused women rebuild the three roots of sustainable wellness: Reconnection, Reorientation, and Regulation.
Marilyn isn't teaching this from a mountaintop. She's building it while living it—navigating her own relocation at 40 with two young sons, rebuilding her social network from scratch, and creating the community she needed.
