No art experience needed—just curiosity.
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.
Reclaim Your Peace
If you’ve been feeling the weight of burnout, grief, or loss, or finding yourself in the middle of a transformational period of life, you’re not alone. You may understand your story through talk therapy, yet still feel unsure what to do with the pieces of your experience that live in the body.
In our work together, we move beyond insight alone.
Through art therapy and body-based practices, we gently explore what lives beneath the surface, supporting nervous system restoration and deeper integration of your experiences.
This process can be tender, surprising, and deeply meaningful. Along the way, many people rediscover energy, clarity, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.
Together, we create space for you to slow down, listen inward, and come home to a life that feels more grounded, alive, and authentically yours.
Individual Art Therapy
(Online or In-Person)
A space for self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
Through art therapy, creative expression becomes a way to explore emotions, experiences, and parts of your inner world that words alone can’t always reach.
Our sessions 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.
Groups & Workshops
(In-Person - Revelstoke)
This summer, Marina is co-facilitating with an Indigenous Art Therapy Intern, offering land-based and somatic therapeutic experiences healing, regulation, creativity, connection, and community.
These offerings may be supportive for individuals experiencing burnout, grief, overwhelm, isolation, nervous system dysregulation, or a longing for deeper connection to self, others, creativity, and the natural world.
Some groups require an intake meeting to help ensure the right fit and support for participants. Sliding scale spaces may be available, and some insurance plans may cover portions of therapeutic group fees.
Open Studio
(In-Person - Revelstoke)
Thursday’s 6:30-8:30pm Oct 8-Nov26, 2026
Open Studio is a weekly drop-in space for adults who want time to slow down, create, reflect and connect. This is not an art class or structured workshop, and no art experience is needed.
A variety of art materials and tea will be provided. Marina will be present as an Art Therapist to help you get settled, offer invitations and inspiration, answer questions and support your self-reflective process. Open Studio is intended to be spacious and largely self-directed, although sessions follow a clear beginning, middle, and end: starting with a check-in to ground and receive the art invitations, followed by plenty of time to create, then a closing circle where there is an option to be heard and witnessed. Sharing is always optional.
You are welcome to follow the invitation, explore the materials freely, or bring a sketchbook, journal or current creative project.
Therapeutic art-making can offer another language for feelings and experiences that may be difficult to express in words. This space invites creative expression, self-reflection, mindfulness and connection with others.
Details:
• Adults 18+
• Maximum six participants per session
• Materials and tea included
• Register separately for the dates you wish to attend
• Pre-registration and a brief consent process are required

Please note: Open Studio is not psychotherapy or crisis support, and sessions are not eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits.
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.
