The practical side of her research took the form of weekly art workshops where she combined artistic methods with Gestalt group therapy techniques and somatic awareness practices. Marina has since founded a Creative Subconscious platform, where she works with clients as a creative facilitator and a transformational coach, running workshops, retreats and collaborating with other practitioners in-person and online.
