Modern shamanic practice rooted in direct lineage training — Mexico, Peru, the American Southwest. Integrated with clinical hypnotherapy for transformation that moves at the level of the whole person.
Schedule a SessionThe word "shamanic" gets used broadly, often imprecisely. What Marina offers is different: direct lineage training with healers in Mexico, Peru, and the American Southwest — not a weekend certification, not a borrowed aesthetic.
Traditional shamanic practices operate on the understanding that suffering, stuck patterns, and chronic illness often have a dimension that clinical tools alone don't fully reach. Something that exists in the energetic or spiritual layer of a person's experience. Shamanic healing works at that level — not instead of clinical work, but alongside it and sometimes underneath it.
Marina does not treat hypnotherapy and shamanic healing as separate offerings. The hypnotic state — focused, relaxed, with conscious mind quieted — is the same state traditional practitioners cultivate through drumming, ceremony, and ritual. Marina moves between clinical and shamanic approaches within a single session, guided by what serves the person in front of her.
For a client working through grief, this might look like a cord cutting ceremony combined with hypnotherapy to complete what wasn't finished. For someone feeling energetically depleted or disconnected, it might be soul retrieval work — bringing back parts of the self that stepped back at some earlier point. For a client ready for a deeper layer of the work, it might be a shamanic journey to access insight that cognitive or subconscious work hasn't reached.

The people who come to Marina for shamanic work are often those who have done meaningful therapeutic or healing work already and sense something is still unmoved — something in the energetic layer that talk therapy or even standard hypnotherapy hasn't reached. They're often people who trust direct experience over doctrine and want to work with a practitioner who has real training, not just real marketing.
Marina is Forbes-featured, clinically trained, and spiritually grounded. The combination is rare. The work she offers is not gentle wellness or introductory spirituality. It's precise, lineage-rooted, and built for people who are ready to go to the deeper layers.

Connect with Marina In-person in Austin, TX · Virtual sessions worldwide · $400 per sessionShamanic healing is a broad category of traditional healing practices rooted in the understanding that illness, stuck patterns, and suffering often have a spiritual or energetic dimension alongside a physical or psychological one. Shamanic practitioners work across those dimensions — using ceremony, journeying, energy work, and lineage-based practices to restore wholeness. Marina trained directly with healers in Mexico, Peru, and the American Southwest, and integrates that lineage training into her clinical work.
Marina does not treat these as separate modalities. The hypnotic state — focused, relaxed, subconscious-accessible — is the same state traditional shamanic practices cultivate. Marina moves fluidly between clinical methodology (regression, rewiring, subconscious reprogramming) and shamanic approaches (soul retrieval, cord cutting, journeying, ceremonial closure) based on what serves the session. The integration is real, not marketing.
No. Shamanic healing is a set of practices rooted in direct experience, not in doctrine. Marina works with clients across a wide range of spiritual backgrounds — including those with no spiritual framework at all. The work meets you where you are.
