She combines hands-on therapeutic techniques with movement-based strategies to help clients reduce pain, restore function, improve mobility, and support long-term health.

Through a thorough assessment of posture, movement patterns, lifestyle, and contributing factors, she develops personalized treatment plans designed to provide more effective and lasting results. Her practice includes therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), TMJ therapy, Indie Head Massage, myofascial techniques, and remedial exercise, allowing her to tailor each session to the individual needs of her clients. Whether clients are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, improving athletic performance, or seeking relief from stress and tension, Marina’s goal is to help them move better, feel better, and achieve lasting improvements in their overall well-being.
Massage
This advanced modality incorporates the use of warmed stones to add a level of deep heat application to the tissues.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage was developed to treat lymphedema, a condition of accumulated fluid within the body that often develops after removing lymph nodes. As trained massage therapists in lymphatic drainage, we massage the body in a way that encourages the lymph through the body, breaking up areas of swelling and reducing excess fluid in the body. Many people incorporate lymphatic drainage techniques into their wellness routines because MLD massage helps to rejuvenate and support the system in moving lymph through the body. This can provide a variety of benefits, including more efficient healing from illness or injury, promoting relaxation and relieving stress, reducing scar formation, swelling and fluid retention, and improving skin quality. Consider MLD for pain relief due to swelling, joint inflammation, digestive issues, adrenal fatigue, headaches, and even jet lag!
