About

Hi there, I’m Marina, founder of Yugen Holistic!

I’m so excited you are here and that tells me something important about you: you’re a founder, a creative, or a team leader with a big vision. You landed here because you are on mission to optimize your energy and time, and because you want to build without feeling burnout. For you, this isn’t just about money or fame. It’s about impact and empowering your team (or family). You want to create a life you love, with time freedom, and a embody an identity that reflects the incredible gifts you were born to share with the world.

Let’s talk about what might be slowing you down. I’ll share something personal: it’s often fear. The fear of stepping into the unknown, making changes that feel uncomfortable, and the stress that comes with it. Change isn’t easy. Our subconscious, which surprisingly steers 97% of our decisions, tends to resist it to keep us in our ‘safe zone.’

Why am I so confident about this? Because this has been my journey too. I’ve grappled with  fears while building my dream life/business’ in cities and countries around the world. From the bustling streets of Japan to the vibrant culture of Morocco, to the concrete jungle of NYC, every step of my journey included a dance with fear and burnout. Despite this, I never stopped building. That’s the power of a vision that’s larger than oneself.

I dreamt to help others harness their deepest gifts and share them with the world on their terms. To achieve this, I got trained from the world’s best experts on the topics of subconscious reprogramming, frequency meditation, holistic wellness, vedic astrology. marketing psychology, and brand storytelling.  As a result, I coached clients on themes like emotional resilience and  leadership development and helped them step into the identity they envisioned for themselves. 

My adventures led me to travel 30+ countries and live on 4 continents as I created unique businesses: a holistic wellness inn and spa in Tokyo, a communications agency in Morocco, and a retreats and meditation brand straddling Spain and Marrakech. Naturally, I encountered challenges. I grappled issues like language and cultural barriers, imposter syndrome, loneliness, and other scary moments; what helped me stay resilient were the same tools I share with my clients.

Here’s what it all taught me: We can’t create greatness when we feel chronically exhausted, alone, or without resources. We need support, we need mentors, we need community. That’s why it’s important to understand your personal needs, have strategies to meet them often, and communicate how we feel to attract the right support.

Because when we feel energized and clear it is easier attract the right opportunities, inspire trust,  and build with purpose.

I choose to create Yugen Holistic around helping leaders master their responses to stress, because I know it takes more than just a great idea or good marketing strategy to enable a dream to succeed.

It takes sidestepping the ego, building emotional resilience, and inspiring others to join you in your quest. That’s why I’ve created vision mapping and energy restorative workshops like these.

This is the heart of Yugen Holistic. It’s more than a coaching service; it’s a commitment to empower leaders – to empower you.
