Testimonials

“Marina is a natural at what she does.

She maintains her strong interest in learning more from her mentors, increasing the tools of her craft as a part of her practice. Marina's openness and high emotional intelligence have helped guide me toward several breakthroughs around childhood healing, weight loss, and mindfulness. I've recommended her to several friends who have all benefited from her expertise and continue to use her tools daily.

Give yourself the gift of working with Marina. It's a valuable investment in yourself.”

“I am so thankful to have experienced quite a few sessions with Marina. 

I had hoped to get better at relaxation, meditation, visualization, and anxiety relief, and I have! Her soothing, encouraging voice and countenance put me at ease immediately. With her, I have experienced my deepest level of hypnotherapy ever. The calm I feel after each session continues on for many days. The most noble quality observed is her ability to treat me with dignity, respect and understanding. She is also kind and discreet. 

 I confidently and highly recommend Marina.”

“Marina is a true master in her work.

Her caring and kindness led me to feelings of safety with each and every session. Marina has consistently demonstrated a grounded knowledge in hypnosis intertwined with her intuitive and empathic nature, brought a calm realization and guidance to each session. Her attention to detail with each session brought greater clarity to my behaviors that influenced outcomes in all areas we were addressing.”

“During my sessions with Marina pertaining to depression, I've found her to be an intuitive, gifted guide, quickly uncovering the root of the matter causing the resultant symptoms, which is all anyone can possibly hope for in sessions such as this. And she accelerated to that place almost immediately, jumping over months of sessions with other similar therapists.

I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Marina is a skilled hypnotherapist. I had been living with what you might call a phobia (performance anxiety on the tennis court - letting down my doubles partner) for almost a decade.  It had gotten to the point that I stopped joining teams. In just two hypnosis/guided imagery sessions, Marina helped relieve my fear and anxiety.  In fact, shortly after the second session, I joined 3 teams!!

After that success, we worked on my early morning generalized anxiety. For several years I had been waking up with anxiety, unable to pinpoint the cause. In just one session, she helped me pinpoint the root of the anxiety and work through it. Soon thereafter, the anxiety never returned.

I have recommended Marina to friends and family for smoking cessation, public speaking anxiety, music performance anxiety and other issues. She has also helped a friend with hypnobirthing. They have all reported great success!  

Marina is a gem!”

“Marina greatly helped me with a difficult working relationship, that part of me felt could only be fixed by quitting my job. 

In the one session I worked with Marina on this, I felt safe and unjudged as she listened to just enough to let me feel heard, but not get stuck in the problem. 

Then with her hypnotic skills, she jumped into finding a creative solution that was within me.  It was playful and empowering to try on this other part of me that can handle situations that I find negative. 

Since the session with Marina, I have felt confident and unfazed as I show up to work as my best self.  She pumped up a better part of me that is way bigger than that other little part that is frightened and just wants to run away from any challenge. 

The knot in my stomach is gone and I now feel relief that I can quit that job in a calm and strategic fashion when the time is right.”

“Marina is an artist of the psyche.

She paints landscapes for the soul to see itself, she listens deeply to the subtle melodies of its becoming, she moves at the pace of a dancer who knows what exact next step is needed, her words become poetry that softly brakes limiting beliefs, making transformation irresistible.

Her boldness to look at things clearly combined with her loving kindness, made her a great ally in my journey when it was time to embrace a new self.

I highly recommend her love for this service.”

“I am so grateful I began working with Marina. So incredibly down-to-Earth and easy to work with and open up to.

The tools given were vital and resonated on such a deep level. I also got to experience myself creating my own healing tools that informed my being it is safe to heal, at the very deepest layers. Being able to walk through timelines and weave in the subconscious understandings, making them fully conscious. Changing patterns, and emerging from the session feeling confident that I know who I am on a deeper level is compassion expanding. I am even more confident I can hold space for the full-spectrum of my healing journey now. I know I can handle whatever may come my way with these tools and this epic repatterning. I am able to trust myself even greater knowing my subconscious is on my side. The integration of the session is incredible, I am already noticing a big shift in my life towards the better.

Thank you Marina!”
