Meet Marina ⚡ Founder & Clinical Director

💚 What does Marina love helping people with?

Executive functioning, understanding how the brain works (and why it works the way it does), and helping both kids and adults find tools that actually fit their lives. She especially loves supporting caregivers who are navigating the journey of parenting a neurodivergent child.

💚 What makes her therapy style unique?

Marina blends art therapy with body-based regulation strategies, helping clients learn through creativity, movement, and real-life practice, not just conversation.

💚 Who might feel especially at home working with Marina?

Anyone, from little ones to adults, who wants to better understand their inner world, build stronger connection and self-awareness, and grow their creativity along the way. Because many diagnoses do not end when we become adults, they simply evolve, and support should evolve with us too.

If Marina’s approach resonates with you, we’d love to help you get connected 🛋 📲

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

A reminder that your mind is worthy of care, curiosity, and compassion, not just when things feel heavy but every day in between.

Whether you find support through art, conversation, rest, or connection, your way of tending to yourself matters.

When I started writing my chapter in Six Figure Chicks Scottsdale, I kept thinking about the younger version of me. The girl, the teen, the young woman who did not know what the road ahead would look like.

She did not know how many times she would fall or how much she would grow. She did not know that one day she would create something she truly believed in. And now I get to tell her what is possible.

This book is about becoming. It is about learning to trust yourself, take up space, and build a life that holds everything you are. You can be soft and strong. You can be grounded and ambitious. You can be healing and thriving.

We are now an international bestseller, and this moment feels like both a dream realized and a message fulfilled. For every woman still figuring it out, still daring to try, still learning she can be an “and” person, this is for you.

✨ Grab the ebook today on Kindle for 99 cents. The paperback is coming soon, and you will want to get your copy 💌

Thank you for being part of this journey 💚
