Welcome, I’m Marina

I am delighted to offer you Yoga and Lifestyle Medicine for women’s current and long-term wellbeing.

I am a registered Yoga Therapist and senior Yoga Teacher, a Counsellor and former Lawyer who has worked with and studied health and wellbeing for over 25 years.

Professionally and personally I have encountered many women struggling with the profound and life-altering changes that occur during midlife, menopause and elderhood.

Creating Well is here to support women to navigate midlife, menopause, healthy ageing and elderhood with greater ease, empowerment, vitality and grace.

Our approach is person-centred, holistic and prevention-oriented. So our services meet your individual needs with compassion, openness, and a whole bodymind view.

We offer an integration of therapeutic yoga, yoga therapy, meditation, counselling and psychotherapy.

Our services are underpinned by evidence-based and evidence-informed practices, trauma-informed therapy, and knowledge and wisdom from Western and Eastern scientific traditions

Whilst our focus is on women’s health and wellbeing, some of our services are available to all people who want to support their holistic wellbeing and mental health with therapeutic yoga, yoga therapy, meditation, counselling, psychotherapy or a blend of therapies.

I welcome you to explore our offerings.

“It was a great experience! I would say her classes are perfect for newcomers to the yoga experience who want to learn and develop their own practice. I particularly love that there are many small things we do throughout any one retreat which can be used at home to help with managing stress or sleep on a daily basis.  Marina's tailored yoga practice is a great mix of strength, flow, breathing, and deep relaxation.  Always Refreshing.”
