About

Marina has always wanted to accompany and equip young people in their personal development. Having worked as a specialized animator for over a decade, she has acquired extensive experience with children on the autism spectrum, neurodivergent, living with an anxiety disorder and/or motor difficulties.

This natural evolution led her to become a physical education teacher, where she discovered a passion for helping children of all ages reach their full potential, whether in academics, motor skills and mobility, self-esteem, social relationships or conflict resolution.

While working for a youth center, Marina also accompanied marginalized teenagers on their journey towards independence. Now an occupational therapist, she firmly believes in trauma-sensitive practice, cultural humility and the involvement of the youth's entourage to support their growth and development. She offers her services in a playful, safe and respectful environment, free from judgment.

Marina strives to continually expand her knowledge to ensure personalized care, tailored to each individual's needs.
