Welcome to
Holistic Healing that Works
At Marina Mae Wellness, healing is approached through the body, creativity, and nervous system science—not just conversation.
Through art therapy, yoga, and trauma-informed somatic practices, Marina supports individuals navigating burnout, life transitions, grief, and trauma to process their experiences and create meaningful change.
This work is anti-oppressive, compassionate, and deeply client-centered, honoring the unique story each person brings.
Marina has a special interest in supporting people who give endlessly to others - team leaders, caregivers, and helping professionals - recover from burnout, regulate their nervous systems, and restore energy through creative and body-based healing practices. She is also passionate about supporting children and families navigate transitions and restore balance.
What is Art Therapy?
Sometimes words just don’t cut it.
Art therapy combines psychotherapy with the creative process, engaging visual, sensory, emotional, symbolic, and embodied ways of knowing. Working with art materials can offer grounding and sensory regulation while offering an opportunity to externalize experiences, giving some space to reflect on internal states. Once something exists outside of us, we can see it, move it, change it, and perhaps discover something new.
Art-making accesses the subconscious and engages the right side of the brain, where emotion, imagery, symbolism, sensory information, and embodied experience are all located. Because trauma and emotional experiences can be difficult to access through words, the creative process offers another pathway into what we feel, and carry in the body - even memories that you don’t actually remember!
Art therapy is not an art class. It is an invitation to express yourself freely while held within a therapeutic relationship with a trained Art Therapist who can ask thoughtful questions and offer art materials and invitations tailored to your unique needs, goals, capacity, and healing process.
Drawing from my yoga and somatic training, I may also incorporate breath, movement, meditation, or yoga philosophy when appropriate. Every invitation is optional and adapted to your needs, comfort, and capacity.
There is room for literal and metaphorical mess here. You don’t need any art experience, and I won’t interpret your artwork for you. Instead, I’ll invite curiosity about the emotions, sensations, memories, and personal meaning that arise.
Individual Art Therapy
(Online or In-Person)
A space for self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
Marina offers traditional art therapy session or, depending on the client’s interest, sessions can take a holistic, body-based approach, weaving together art-making, gentle movement, breath, mindfulness, and psychoeducation.
This isn’t about making “good” art—it’s about using creativity as a doorway to insight, release, and deeper self-understanding.
Marina offers individual art therapy sessions for children, families, and adults. To find out more about what working with Marina looks and feels like, book a 15 minute exploration call or 60 minute intake meeting - both are complimentary.

Private & Corporate Yoga
(In-Person - Revelstoke)
Offered one-on-one, for small groups, or in workplace settings, these yoga sessions are tailored to your needs and create space to pause, breathe, and return to the body in the midst of busy lives.
Rooted in yoga psychology, sessions include mindful movement, breathwork, self-inquiry, take-away tools that work, and that support nervous system regulation. Over time, yoga helps release tension, restore energy, and cultivate a deeper sense of balance and vitality.
Many people find that as they become more connected to their bodies and breath, they also experience greater clarity, resilience, and emotional steadiness. These benefits ripple outward—supporting not only personal wellbeing, but also more harmonious, creative, and effective homes and workplaces.
We might be a good fit if...
You or your family have experienced burnout, loss, stressors or trauma and are seeking holistic healing.
You’re committed to self-care and willing to engage in at least 5 sessions to explore growth and balance.
You’re interested in incorporating both ancient wisdom traditions and modern psychology into your wellness journey.
You value the therapeutic benefits of creative expression and are open to exploring the mind-body-spirit connection.
You appreciate a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally responsive approach to therapy.
Are We Right for Each Other?
We might not be a good fit if...
You’re seeking quick fixes or temporary solutions without a commitment to the therapeutic process.
You’re resistant to exploring alternative modalities or integrating eastern and western approaches to wellness.
You have rigid expectations or a desire for traditional talk therapy without an emphasis on embodied healing and creative expression.
You do not prioritize self-care or are unwilling to explore deeper emotions and experiences.
A trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, or culturally responsive therapeutic approach isn’t essential to you.
