Clinical Hypnotherapist · Shamanic Healer · Empowerment Coach · Grief Recovery Specialist.

Marina Pirkle is a clinical hypnotherapist, shamanic healer, medium, and founder of Modern Mind Alchemy, a practice devoted to the meeting place of science and the sacred.

Known for her intuitive, deeply personal approach, Marina brings together the clinical practice of hypnotherapy with shamanic traditions and spiritual exploration. Her work invites people to explore the subconscious, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and discover new possibilities for their lives.

A modern-day magic woman, Marina believes that healing can embrace both science and mysticism—that we can honor what we understand about the mind while remaining open to the wisdom of intuition, spirit, and the sacred.

Her own path to this work began long before she entered a healing room. Growing up amid addiction, grief, and uncertainty, she learned early how to care for others. She helped care for her father through years of illness, and at twenty-one, following his death, became the guardian of her younger sister. Even in the midst of loss, she held on to a belief in beauty, wonder, and the possibility of creating a different life.

That belief led her on a journey around the world, searching for magic and exploring the many ways people heal. Along the way, she studied with healers and trained under shamans, gathering wisdom and practices that would deepen her understanding of the connection between mind, spirit, and the human experience.

Together with her training in clinical hypnotherapy, those experiences became the foundation of her work: a devotion to helping others transform their relationship with the past and reclaim the parts of themselves they may have left behind. Marina believes that while we cannot always change what happened to us, we can change how we carry it forward—and what we create from it.

From intimate private sessions to luxury resorts and wellness experiences, Marina creates spaces where people can come home to themselves. Her approach is both practical and soulful, honoring the complexity of the human experience while making room for intuition, imagination, and magic.

For Marina, alchemy is the art of meeting life fully and creating meaning from what we have lived. It is the possibility that even the most difficult beginnings can become part of a life rich with beauty, purpose, and love.
