After suffering from sports related injuries and discovering the healing powers of Shiatsu, Marina was inspired to study & learn this ancient healing art. She then went on to graduate from the renowned ‘International School of Shiatsu’ in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.  She also completed advanced classes in structural alignment and Shin Tai.  Marina is a member of AOBTA (American Organization for Bodywork Therapies of Asia) and has been practicing Shiatsu for over 11 years. Her always growing interest in body work led her to explore other modalities that included Zheng Gu Tui Na (Chinese medical Massage), treatment of sport injuries, and yoga.

Marina is very passionate about holistic health and nutrition, and believes that body, mind, and spirit are inseparable.  The holistic approach to the body led her to explore and study macrobiotic cooking, and then to raw food preparation at the famous Living Light International raw cooking school in California.  Presently, Marina is studying for her Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition at Hawthorn University.
