Marie, a Swiss Army knife for well-being and education in Munich

“Whole-hearted, loyal and always up for anything”: those are the three words the people closest to Marie use to describe her. At first glance, you could introduce her as a true Swiss Army knife. But even that would be selling her short. Behind that image lies a rich personality who juggles many hats: entrepreneur, organiser of local events, founder of Räumlich Glücklich… and Country Manager Germany for Axiom Academic.

A varied path with one constant thread

From sales to management, by way of relocation services and support for private clients, Marie’s career may look eclectic. Yet one common thread runs through all her experiences: accompanying, helping and supporting people in their daily lives.

Her motto sums it up nicely: “A new flow in your space and mind”.

It was after coming through a difficult period (a depression that turned her life upside down and brought her back to her true values) that Marie struck out on her own by creating Räumlich Glücklich. Her goal: to give the people she works with a renewed sense of well-being, freedom and joy, by helping them declutter and reclaim space and clarity in their lives.

A new flow in your space and mind

Marie Tanniou, Country Manager Munich

Entrepreneurship as a driving force

What she loves most about her entrepreneurial adventure? The flexibility, the variety and, above all, the richness of the encounters. Every day brings its share of surprises, new people from different backgrounds and experiences she has never had before.

A Bavarian life at the heart of interculturality

Munich is an ideal setting for Marie: the intercultural mix, the vast green spaces, the fact that you can do everything by bike, not to mention the mountains and lakes close by. Deeply involved in local life, she co-organises the Munich Sustainable Development Forum, an event that showcases French-speaking and francophile initiatives in this field.

Through her decluttering service, she raises awareness about giving objects a second life and about recycling, convinced that every gesture counts when it comes to protecting the environment.

To families newly arrived in Munich, her advice is: “Let the city surprise you, be open, and look beyond the clichés about Bavarians. Behind an apparent reserve there is often a warm heart.”

At Axiom Academic, a trusted matchmaker

When asked to describe her role as Country Manager Germany, Marie smiles: “I compare myself a little to a matchmaking club, in the positive sense of the term.” In practice, she connects families with tutors, paying particular attention to understanding each request. Her goal: making sure the teacher matches the expressed needs as closely as possible.

What motivates her day to day is, above all, the desire to support families and to watch students progress. She loves contributing to that moment when a student regains self-confidence, improves their results and rediscovers the joy of learning.

And her greatest satisfactions are simple, but essential: “It’s a joy and a real pleasure when students improve their grades, when the chemistry works with the tutor and when the time invested bears fruit.”

Travelling, breathing, sharing

When she is not working, Marie lives for travel and discovering new cultures. Sporty and close to nature, she criss-crosses Munich by bike and makes the most of the hikes the region has to offer.

Her favourite place to share with loved ones remains the English Garden, a huge 375-hectare park in the heart of the city that combines greenery, activities and a friendly atmosphere.

As for resources, she recommends a simple and effective method for learning languages: watching well-known cartoons in the language you want to learn. A trick that served her well during her studies and that she still passes on today.
