Hi, I’m Marina!
Sometimes, you are just going about life when the unthinkable happens. For me, it happened while I was working as a textile designer and raising two young kids. Little did I know that my exposure to Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear disaster would alter the course of my adult life and lead to a diagnosis of Thyroid cancer.
I soon learned the critical role the thyroid plays in our bodies as I struggled with symptoms including digestive issues, weight gain, joint and muscle pain, headaches and more.
Like most people, I first turned to traditional medicine, and while I was very grateful for all it had to offer, I was left with unpleasant lingering side effects and unanswered questions.
I came to realize that targeting my symptoms alone didn’t provide the desired outcome. It provided temporary relief, but I couldn’t achieve lasting results and create sustainable solutions for my overall health.
To achieve lasting results, I needed to identify and address the underlying causes of my symptoms and adapt a holistic approach that supported my mind, body, and spirit.
I went to schools that taught me how to heal myself. The wealth of knowledge that I received in the fields of Integrative Nutrition, Functional Medicine, energy healing, mind-body medicine, Positive Psychology, Reiki, and yoga, has inspired me to keep passing it on.
For over 15 years, I’ve empowered women to nurture their body, mind, and spirit, avoid burnouts, and feel their very best.
It’s my passion to help them become their own health advocates and discover the incredible potential that lies within them to heal and shine in all areas of their lives!
I work with many women who have thyroid problems and don’t even know it. Sadly, thyroid conditions are among the most under-diagnosed and untreated in western medicine. Many women come to me feeling burnt out from having to juggle so much, seeking to restore balance and vitality back into their lives. Other women come to me with the fear that they may get a disease, because it runs in their family.
While we can’t change our genetics or our ages, we can change the way our genes express themselves, and we can fuel our bodies in ways that give us the energy we need to heal and lead fulfilling lives.
I often liken healing to gardening. You start by cultivating the soil and planting the seeds; you gradually provide water, sunlight, and encouragement; and ultimately, something beautiful will grow.
I know from my own personal journey that making those changes can be challenging and somewhat disorienting.
I've been there myself and I know how discouraging it can get doing it alone. I'll be here with you every step of the way.
It takes time, patience, and awareness, but together we can make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
