An expert in creating safe space, Marina serves as a compassionate guide to meeting all of life with loving presence. She specializes in supporting adolescent and young adult women on 1:1 journeys toward deeper connection with themselves, others, and the world around them through an intuitive weaving of mindfulness practices, parts work, gentle movement, and creative expression. Her healing containers are guided by the wisdom of nature, and held with the intention to honor the expansiveness of the human experience. Marina is fully devoted to this sacred path following previous lives as a wilderness guide, teacher, and climate policy advocate. At the heart of all her offerings lies an invitation to love and dance with life.

I believe in the power of nature to heal, ground, teach and remind us who we really are. I believe that we are here to love, to play, to feel, to create, to express. 

My mission is to help bring you into deeper relationship with yourself, others, and the natural world. When we are in tune with our undeniable interconnectedness, we can walk our unique path with greater authenticity, peace, joy, and fulfillment.

"We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say we have lost our connection to nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves.”

- Andy Goldsworthy.
