Success Stories
What's it like learning with Marina?
Recently I made a career change. It was stressful and confusing at the beginning. One of the visualization techniques that Marina showed me helped me to see what my new career might be. She also mentored me with my resume and with interviewing. Now, I'm happy to be on the other side of the career shift--a whole new person!

Marina has been a career mentor to me for several years. During that time, I moved from an unhappy job to a much-improved one (including the compensation) in my field. After a few years, I felt the pull to be my own boss. I started a new business in an industry that was new to me. That business is now profitable.
Both Marina's mentoring and the meditation techniques she teaches helped me to make these changes, despite the nervousness I naturally felt. She helped me to move ahead and to stay in my heart, at the same time. I also enjoy passing on what I've learned to others, and seeing the benefit in their lives.

Marina taught me the power of meditation. She also taught me the importance of "ORGANIZING MY LIFE," and to see my strengths and how capable I am in making large strides in my life. She helped me realize the countless opportunities in following my passion and the endless possibilities in entrepreneurship. I am grateful that she is my mentor and has been for many years. She inspired me to pursue my dreams, volunteer abroad, and return to school to become a psychologist. Her insight is tremendous. I couldn't be happier in my life right now.

I was very fortunate to have Marina as my coach during the time of making my first film. As a cellist with a successful career, I know how important is having a great trainer, and Marina was just that. In our mentoring, she asked the questions that helped me to see whatever I was going through in a new way. By doing so, I was able to make decisions and communicate in a way that was empowering to me, people I worked with, and the project. The result is my film Virtuoso, short documentary on the importance of creative aging with music!
Thank you Marina for a great support and clarity. You are the coach that everyone should have on their team!

I'm a late bloomer. Marina totally got that and encouraged me to be patient with myself, while making small steps forward. She also helped me deal with situations at my crazy job so that I grew less attached, and had less energy invested in a temporary career. I made my career shift. Now I'm the Vice President of Production at an animation company. While every moment isn't bliss, I am enjoying myself much more and feel that I am on the correct path. I appreciate the career support and de-stressing techniques Marina gave me.

Marina has been a valuable mentor for many years. Several times in my career, Marina helped me to clarify my way out of tricky career situations, as well as helped me to see possibilities for the future. During the mentoring, it wasn't that she told me anything I didn't already know--it's that she helped me to see and to act on what I do know.

The meditation techniques that I learned through Marina's course have given me an improved outlook on myself and my environment. The insight and confidence gained through these techniques have enabled me to move forward in many areas of my life.

A couple of years ago I began a career change, which I have now successfully and happily completed. From several mentoring sessions with Marina, I felt solidly encouraged, was given seminal resources, and was pointed in the right direction. Her years of expert experience in career guidance, her generous advice and unshakable belief in me, contributed to fulfilling results. She led me to develop my clear attitude of undeniable success in my selected new career. It worked.

I am a graphic artist. While I didn't change careers, Marina:
- Taught me the importance of trusting in myself
- Gave me tips on enhancing my intuition
- Got me in the habit of defining goals pursuing them aggressively
- Helped me believe in myself and know that I could achieve whatever I
truly desire in life.
