Hi, I’m Marina
As a certified coach, consultant and facilitator. I have a passion for positive psychology and helping people and organisations to flourish.
My journey to this work has been shaped by a rich and varied background. I’ve worked in human resources, financial service operations and taught literacy and numeracy skills in my local adult learning centre. Over the past seven years, I’ve also had the privilege of running my own business.
These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the challenges organisations face – and the incredible potential that emerges when people feel seen, valued and empowered.
Today, I support SMEs in building strengths-based cultures, where people feel engaged and connected to their purpose.
Alongside my work, I have a passion for hiking, where I reconnect with what matters most.
I also love learning, reading, running (slowly!) and quality time with family and friends.
These are my non-negotiables. They keep me grounded, inspired, and aligned with the strengths I bring into my work every day.
