‘23 Organizer, Sound Practitioner, Yoga Teacher & Artist
A creator, artist, musician, scientist, mama, student, teacher & many other evolving & revolving vibratory sound complexes…I specialize in teaching yoga for beginners, pain management & low mobility. I obtained reiki attunement in 2018 & my first yoga teacher certification in 2021. Early 2022, I attended an Elemental Sound Healing certification training and met a handpan in person for the first time along with 2 lovely ladies, Sarah & Kelly, who invited me to attend the very first SuperBloom gathering. SuperBloom 2022 was such a magical experience that I was beyond thrilled when asked to join as a facilitator for 2023!
As a forever-learner, I love studying yogic philosophy, physics & frequencies, languages & word etymology. I practice healing & maintaining a healthy water-body through living [w]holistically & utilizing the abundant medicine provided to us by the Earth. I teach various styles of yoga & love making music, especially on the handpan.
I speak several languages & am an intuitive empath & psychic tarot reader, am knowledgable in multiple divination styles & have taken classes in Elder Futhark Runes, intention candle creation & intuitive tarot reading. I enjoy creating channeled & functional art, holistic bath & self-care products, teas, jewelry & meditation & divination tools, including my own tarot decks. I incorporate numerology, chakra balancing & both Western & Vedic astrologies into my readings. I enjoy the alchemy of combining yoga, sound, aromatherapy, crystal allies, dancing, meditation & art to attract & create beauty, joy & peace personally & in the lives of others.

Vocal Coach, Handpan Teacher & Mentor
Marina is one of the founders of the Handpan NYC Community - a place where teachers, artists, and enthusiasts can experience a world of handpan events, workshops, and community gatherings since 2016. From the moment Marina held this instrument for the first time, she didn't want to let it go! She then knew that she will become a lifelong student of this art form. Since then Marina has helped organize various handpan workshops and retreats in NY.
Marina's participation in plant medicine ceremonies has highly influenced her handpan musical journey. She weaves her voice into her compositions, incorporating songs from various traditions and backgrounds.
In 2019 she attended her first Handpan gathering (Reminiscence in NC) and immediately felt a sense of belonging. She met many great handpan friends at this gathering, among them Kelly!
When not involved in Super Bloom, Marina teaches beginners handpan, somatic voice practice and psychedelic/plant medicine integration and harm reduction.

2022 Organizer, SBL Founder, Musician & Handpan Steward
In 2016, while visiting friends in the Mojave desert, a glowing campfire set the stage for Sarah to be mesmerized by something she had neither seen nor heard before … the handpan. Little did she know that big changes were being initiated. As her inner flames grew brighter and bolder, she was brought back to her first musical loves — the violin and the voice.
Sarah uses her voice as a self-healing tool, alongside playing the handpan, violin, mandolin, RAVvast and frame drum. Having written a few pieces, she aims to share them in 2022. In addition to music, Sarah is also a visual artist — fine art, mixed-media photography & graphic design.
