Coaching for driven, growth-oriented people who want real results (without wasting years on what doesn’t work).
And this will help you unlock the next level of professional, relational, or personal success.
This is NOT because “something’s wrong with you”.
It’s because you’re serious to do this right!
Without wasting time or getting trapped in actions or behaviour that won’t work or resolve on their own.
Nice to meet you!
I’m a coach with advanced training and experience in neuroscience-based and experiential methods — and I help analytical, self-aware people remove internal obstacles ( aka patterns ) they can’t outthink or outperform.
You’ve likely already tried a lot: books, podcasts, mindset work, insight, strategy, even therapy…
And yet, here you are — trying to figure out: What is happening? Why you? Why this way? What to do about it? And will you ever see the shift?
You’re exactly who I work with. And btw, there is nothing wrong with you!
This isn’t about fixing you or pushing harder.
It’s about finding specific mental templates (also known as neural schemas) that control your actions, thoughts, and feelings, that are actually in your way — and transforming them for good.
You notice that something isn’t adding up…
You’re sharp, capable, smart – someone who always finds the way.
Yet here you are – you can’t figure this one out!
And the situation you may feel stuck in can be different for all of us. It might be any or all of these:
- You tell yourself “This time will be different”, but then you slip back into old habits.
- You keep doing all the right things – but you can’t attract your ideal partner.
- A big decision is in front of you, and you know what you should do – but instead of moving forward, you freeze.
- You have the strategy, the plan, the roadmap… but no matter how clear it looks on paper, you can’t seem to move forward.
- You pride yourself on self-awareness and insight, but you can’t figure this one out; you just can’t put your finger on it.
Maybe you can see the pattern but don’t know how to change it. Or maybe you don’t even recognize that a pattern is running your life.
You just know something is in the way.
Something is holding you back or pushing you to react in a way that’s keeping you stuck.
And until you uncover what’s driving it, nothing will change.
Your brain isn’t just reacting to life – it’s predicting it.
It takes past experiences, builds hidden schemas, and uses them to drive your decisions and actions before you’re even aware it’s happening.
The real cost of staying stuck…
You tell yourself:
“This will pass.”
“Next time will be different.”
“I just need to try harder.”
Meanwhile, opportunities (or your life) is passing you by…
And worst of all? That heavy feeling that you’re losing time to an invisible force you can’t control.
This isn’t about fixing you – it’s about rewiring what’s in your way!
This isn’t for people who have “something wrong.” It’s for people who refuse to waste years figuring it out the hard way.
✔ If you feel like you’ve outgrown the way you operate but can’t see what’s next…
✔ If you keep hitting the same roadblocks…
✔ If you know you’re capable of more, but something unseen is keeping you stuck…
Then this is for you.
How we break the cycle – for good!
This isn’t talk therapy. This isn’t surface-level mindset work.
It’s a neuroscience-backed, experiential process designed for real, lasting change.
Unlike traditional approaches that follow a single framework, I don’t rely on just one model. Instead, I draw from my trainings on the most cutting-edge modalities in experiential psychotherapy models and neuroscience-backed memory reconsolidation. It helps me to bring together the best practices that actually create deep, permanent change.
- Find the subconscious cycles shaping your relationships, decisions, and self-perception.
- Rewire limiting beliefs & emotional reflexes that have been running in the background.
- Build unshakable confidence & self-trust so you stop hesitating, over-explaining, or over-correcting.
- Master boundaries & high-stakes communication without guilt or second-guessing.
- Unlock real clarity & momentum – so you don’t just think about change, you live it.

“Marina’s true gift is how she listens and asks questions that help you identify whatever is blocking your way. In the short time that we worked together, she already helped me realize how to trust myself again, leaving behind a decade of baggage. She was able to unlock what other executive coaches and psychologists could not.”
Derek 30’s – Startup Founder
“I’m wired for logic and structure, so the idea of experiencing change instead of just learning more was hard to wrap my head around. But the shift happened without me having to force it. I’m no longer just managing my reactions – the patterns that created them have changed.
Now, I don’t just look confident on the outside – I actually feel it, in a way that isn’t performative or exhausting.
And I almost didn’t do this because I wasn’t sure working over Zoom would feel real. But every session hit deeper than I ever expected. I’m happy I didn’t let that stop me.”
Robert O. 58 – Attorney
“I’ve spent years studying human behavior, but nothing compares to actually experiencing this kind of deep transformation. I thought I knew my own patterns – I teach this stuff, after all. But knowing isn’t the same as changing. The experiential work we did took me beyond insight and into real shifts. It was humbling, it was challenging, and it was absolutely worth it. If you think you already know yourself, get ready to be surprised.”
Kelli, 50 – LCSW
“I like things that make sense. Logic, structure, process. But when it came to the things that kept repeating in my life – frustrations in relationships, feeling stuck – I couldn’t ‘fix’ them with logic. This work was completely different from anything I’ve done before. It forced me to look at what was really running on the background, under the surface. And once I did, things started shifting in ways I never expected. If you’re willing to go all in, this work will change everything!”
Shane F., 44 – Engineer
“I’ve spent years coaching others on leadership, yet I was still running into my own blind spots – places where I kept getting in my own way, despite knowing better. This work isn’t about more knowledge or better frameworks. It’s about rewiring the internal patterns that shape how you show up, even when you don’t realize it. I can honestly say, the shifts I’ve experienced aren’t just making me a better coach- they’re making me a better leader, period.”
Victoria G., 45 – Executive Leadership Coach
“I’ve done plenty of personal growth work, but this was different. I didn’t need another productivity hack or leadership framework – I needed to understand what was shaping my decisions on a subconscious level.
Committing to a set time each week felt restrictive at first, but it became the one space where I wasn’t leading, managing or fixing – just being. It wasn’t always comfortable, but neither is staying stuck. That new clarity, confidence and ease I feel now was absolutely worth it.”
Paul, 65 – Leader
“I had the strategy, resources, and experience so logically, I shouldn’t have been stuck. But no matter how much I pushed, I kept hitting an invisible wall.
I’ve spent my career solving problems, so I assumed I just hadn’t found the right solution yet. But it wasn’t a strategy problem – it was me. Old patterns, subconscious hesitation – things I never would’ve uncovered on my own. Committing to months of this work felt like a lot at first, but now I see why it couldn’t have been shorter. The real shifts happened deep into the process after we dug through the layers. I finally feel like I’m moving without resistance, and I’m never going back.”
Dan, 37 – Founder
“I used to think my hesitation was about timing. That I just wasn’t ready for the next level of visibility. But the truth as it turns out, I was afraid of actually being seen. I kept holding back, second-guessing myself, staying just comfortable enough not to push through it.
This work cracked that wide open. It wasn’t about preparing more – it was about letting go of the fears I didn’t even realize were controlling me. Now I’m moving forward without overthinking every step.”
Cate, 32 – Influencer
“I assumed I just needed better tools to manage myself. I’ve always relied on logic to solve problems, but this work showed me that some things don’t shift by just figuring them out.
I kept running into the same obstacles – frustrated, stuck and unable to move forward, even when I knew what to do. The real breakthrough came when I stopped trying to outthink my patterns. I needed to rewire the patterns driving my reactions!
I won’t lie, this work was challenging, but the difference is undeniable.”
Steve, 46 – IT
“Marina is a very insightful, intuitive and excellent relationship coach.
She has clairvoyant abilities in addition to being caring, thoughtful and truthful while sincerely listening to her clients to provide brutally honest, sound advice.”
D. 60 – Attorney
“I had initially resisted working with Marina. I though that coaching might be just basic and surface-level advice. But it turned out that her approach is so powerful and so deeply scientific and engaging! Marina ultimately ended up doing more than just preparing me to be the person who was ready for the relationship I was seeking. She’s helped to arm me with new, rewired beliefs and a positive overall mindset. And distinctly greater day-to-day confidence and a clearer understanding of my true self. Thank you, Marina!”
Jeff G, 50 – Executive in the Finance Sector
“Working with Marina was so amazingly helpful and valuable!
She helped me quickly discover and understand many thoughts and patterns that were negatively affecting my search for a partner and my life. Things that I didn’t even know were there holding me back! She gave me so much new clarity and rock-solid confidence. I know who I really am, what I really want, and why! For the first time, I am not feeling any urgency, because I just know that everything I want is already mine! “
Charles J. 53 – Tech Executive
“Marina is a wonderful coach & mentor. She masterfully leads our sessions to find real & transformative solutions to my challenges every time. I could not be more grateful b/c these sessions have fixed my problem & now I get to just go and enjoy my best life. Period. I always left our sessions feeling clear, empowered, and action-focused – going after what I desired in my life & then getting the actual results!! Just hire her – you won’t regret it!!”
Catherine W. 43 – Business Owner.
This is what smart people do…
Analytical, critical thinkers who value precision and high performance – don’t waste time waiting for something to change.
They notice when something isn’t working. And they seek precision, not more effort.
This is your edge.
You already know something needs to shift.
The only question is – how much more time are you willing to waste?
