My 1-on-1 coaching is grounded in nonviolent communication, mindfulness, and self-compassion. I will support you in:
- gaining an understanding of the obstacles you are facing in navigating specific relational or situational challenges in your life,
- building a personal toolkit filled with actions and resources that will support you in navigating these challenges with more awareness, balance, and compassion.
"The best part about working with Marina is her kindness, willingness to explore, and the meditations she shared with me. I was able to add more tools to my toolkit."

“Ms. Barnes has truly transformed my life. During a challenging time when my family was grappling with a difficult health diagnosis, her techniques were a lifeline. She reminded me of the power of gratitude, especially during moments of anxiety. I came to her carrying heavy emotional burdens, but she equipped me with the tools to lift those weights off my shoulders. Each week, she introduced a new meditative practice or a self-kindness technique, teaching me to be gentle with myself instead of judgmental. Her approach helped me not only heal my relationship with my own body but also become a kinder, happier person toward others. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her support. Ms. Barnes is truly a light in the lives of everyone she touches, and her compassion and empathy are felt by all who meet her.”
