Grief is not a problem to be solved or a timeline to be hurried through. Marina is a certified Grief Recovery Specialist and clinical hypnotherapist who works with grief of all kinds. The aim is not to erase the loss. It is to let what you carry move and settle, so the love and the loss can live in you without keeping you locked in place.
Schedule a SessionGrief is usually associated with death, and death is one of its forms. But grief arrives with many losses. The end of a marriage. An estrangement from a parent or a child. The loss of a home, a community, a career, or a version of the future you had assumed you would live. The death of a pet who was family. The slow grief of an identity you can no longer claim.
These losses are real, and they often go unnamed. People grieving a divorce or an estrangement are frequently told they should be over it, or that it does not count the way a death counts. That message does not ease the grief. It isolates it, and isolated grief tends to stay stuck.
Marina's work holds grief of all kinds without ranking it. What matters is not the category of the loss but what it asks of you now, and whether you have had a place to let it move.
A Grief Recovery Specialist is trained in a structured, evidence-informed approach to the emotional work of loss. The focus is on the unresolved parts of a relationship and the feelings that were never fully said, felt, or completed. Grief is not treated as something to manage indefinitely. It is treated as something that can move toward resolution when it is given the right kind of attention.
This is not the common cultural script around loss, which tends to offer distraction, time, and the quiet expectation that you will eventually stop talking about it. The structured approach is different. It gives grief a method and a container rather than leaving you to wait it out alone.
Marina combines that grief recovery framework with clinical hypnotherapy and somatic work. The recovery method gives the work its shape. Hypnotherapy and somatic practice give it access to the layers where grief is actually held, below the reach of conversation alone.
Clients arrive carrying many forms of grief. None of them is too small or too late to bring:
Marina does not promise to take grief away, and she is direct that no honest practitioner would. The person you lost mattered. The life you had mattered. To remove the grief entirely would be to remove the proof that the love was real.
The work is transmutation rather than erasure. Grief that has been stuck, frozen, or carried in silence is given room to move. As it moves, its weight changes. What was an undertow that pulled at everything becomes something you can hold. The love remains. The connection remains. What eases is the part of grief that was keeping you from living alongside it.
Many clients describe the change as the difference between being submerged and standing in the water. The loss is still there. You are no longer drowning in it.
There is no correct timeline for grief, and there is no statute of limitations on it. Some clients come to Marina weeks after a loss. Others come decades later, carrying grief they were never given room to feel. Both are on time. Grief waits until it has a place to be felt.
Grief is not only a thought. It lives in the body and in the layers of the mind that conversation cannot easily reach. People often understand their loss clearly and still feel no movement, because understanding is a conscious act and grief is held deeper than that. Hypnotherapy works at that deeper layer.
In session, Marina guides you into a settled, receptive state where the grief can be approached without being forced. There is space for what was never said to be said, for what was never felt to be felt, and for the relationship to be addressed directly rather than only thought about. The somatic work keeps the body involved, so the grief moves through you rather than staying lodged.
Where it fits, and only where it fits, Marina holds the work within a shamanic container drawn from her lineage training. For some clients, particularly those grieving a death or a soul-level loss, that container gives the grief a larger frame to move within. It is never imposed. It is offered when the work asks for it and the client is open to it.
This is not a process that rushes you toward closure. Closure is often the wrong word for grief, and Marina does not use it as a goal. The aim is movement and integration, not a finish line.
It is also not a replacement for crisis care. If grief has brought you to thoughts of harming yourself, the right first step is immediate support through a crisis line or a medical provider. Marina's grief work is for the ongoing labor of carrying a loss, and it can sit alongside other care you are receiving.
And it is not a single dramatic event that fixes everything. Grief work is steady and human. Some sessions move a great deal and some simply make room. Marina is honest about that pace, and about the fact that grief, handled well, becomes something you live with rather than something you are cured of.
Reach out with what you are grieving, whether it happened recently or years ago. Marina responds personally to inquiries and takes care with each one. You can also call the practice directly at +1-737-222-9195.
Connect with MarinaIt is a practitioner trained in a structured method for working through loss, focused on the unresolved feelings and unspoken parts of a relationship rather than on managing grief indefinitely. Marina holds this certification alongside her clinical hypnotherapy training, so her grief work combines the recovery framework with the deeper subconscious and somatic methods.
No. Grief does not expire. Many of Marina's clients come carrying losses from years or decades earlier, often because they never had a place to feel them at the time. Grief that was set aside tends to wait. The work is the same whether the loss is recent or long held.
No. Marina works with grief of all kinds, including divorce, estrangement, the loss of a pet, identity loss, and the grief of a future that will not arrive. These losses are real grief even when the world treats them as lesser. The work holds them with the same seriousness.
No, and that is not the goal. The aim is not to erase grief but to let it move and settle so you can carry it without being held in place by it. The memory, the love, and the connection remain. What changes is the part of the grief that was keeping you from living alongside it.
Yes. Marina works with grieving clients in Austin, in Santa Fe, and virtually worldwide. The internal work is the same over secure video. Many clients prefer to do this work from their own home, where they can rest and integrate afterward in a familiar place.
Both are welcome and common. Tears are part of grief moving, not a sign that something is wrong. And words are not required. The hypnotic and somatic parts of the work do not depend on you narrating your loss. Marina will meet you wherever you are, including silence.
No. If grief has brought you to thoughts of harming yourself, please reach out to a crisis line or a medical provider first. Marina's grief work supports the ongoing process of carrying a loss and can sit alongside other care, but it is not emergency care.
