Our Philosophy

The Full Story

Heal with Marina is an organisation that seeks to give anyone who suffers from chronic pain or a chronic illness the tools to cope with day-to-day life. It’s really tough to find someone who gets you after a chronic illness diagnosis. It’s even tougher to find professionals who can empathise with you and give you reliable advice based on experience – that’s where we come in! Whether you want private coaching sessions, a space to connect with people who get you or resources to help you handle flares, doctors visits, relationship dynamics and more – we are here.

In a Nutshell

1. Find balance and direction after a diagnosis by setting achievable goals.

2. Implement healthy daily habits to encourage healing and resilience.

3. Navigate complex health issues with confidence.

4. Establish a support system, find your community.

More about me

I’m Marina - a chronic illness spoonie, just like you. I’ve been through my share of health challenges (trust me), and it’s been a journey to get here. Now, I spend my time helping people like you manage the day-to-day with chronic illness as a mental health professional, mentor, and coach. Stories matter, so here’s mine.

Why I Don’t Use the Word “Cure”

Don’t get me wrong – working towards a cure or becoming completely healed is an incredibly positive and forward-thinking insight.

But odds are that if something does ‘heal’ you, it’s probably a lifestyle decision that will need to be maintained and monitored.

We will help you aspire to specific goals. But show you how to realistically make steps towards them.

The idea is to help you find comfort and ease in living your life. And to not make you lose sight of the fact that life is happening as we speak.

You shouldn’t want to remain unwell… but you also shouldn’t stop living your life in times when good health isn’t on your side.
