After her graduation she attended numerous courses taught by Andrew and Julie Ann Nugent-Head, Dr Richard Tan, Guy Gladstone and Gerry Pyves, well-known experienced practitioners in their field.
Marina has been practising massage since 2007. She is constantly expanding her theoretical and practical knowledge through learning different approaches to holistic treatment.

Treatments
Acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It has a very positive model of good health and function, and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment, then, is to restore the body’s equilibrium.
Cosmetic acupuncture helps to combat the signs of ageing. Fine line reduction can be noticed after just one treatment, however, a course of 12-15 treatments is recommended in order to achieve the long lasting results.
Holistic massage (no hands style) is a treatment that is specifically tailored to each client. No hands massage is a powerfully flowing, soothing and deep holistic massage treatment. It can help you to totally release tension throughout your whole being and leave you feeling nurtured and rejuvenated.
Pulsing is a gentle form of bodywork, which combines movements of stretching, lifting and rotating with a continuous rhythmic rocking. The regularity of the background rhythm creates a sense of ease and flow, support and permission. Whatever is present is allowed to surface without in any way forcing or breaking down resistances.
Lymphatic drainage is encouraged by gentle stretching of the skin over numerous lymph nodes and vessels, aiming to promote the removal of the excessive or stagnant tissue fluid. The aim of the massage is to move fluid from the swollen/ congested area into an area where the lymphatic system is working normally.
