Personalized counseling, coaching and holistic practices designed to help you reduce stress, strengthen resilience and create changes you can actually sustain.
My passion for integrative therapies began as a teenager in the Soviet Union, after seeing a film about yoga and becoming fascinated by practices that worked with both mind and body.
After immigrating to the United States, I continued exploring yoga, Zen meditation, Tai Chi and Shiatsu while studying at Boston University. These practices became personally meaningful to me and ultimately helped shape my decision to pursue a Master of Social Work at New York University.
During those years I also discovered Huna through the work of Serge Kahili King. It felt like a homecoming. Over time, my work evolved into an integrative practice that brings together the strengths-based foundation of social work with holistic approaches to wellbeing.
My aim is simple: to help people discover more choice, more self-understanding and more access to the strengths they already carry.

Huna is not a treatment technique or therapy. For Marina, it is a philosophy and way of living that supports overall wellbeing.
One of the principles she returns to often is the idea that our experience is shaped, in part, by the meaning we make—and that changing our relationship to our thoughts can open new possibilities.
Marina’s practice follows the teachings of Serge Kahili King and reflects decades of personal study and application.
