For as long as she can remember, Marina have been passionate about making people well. She was first introduced to natural healing by her grandmother Stanislava at about the age of 7. Marina's grandmother would take her to a forest or a meadow and show her what to collect, how to find plants, how they smelled and felt, and how to use them. The family cupboard always smelled of dried flowers, and Linden tea is still Marina's first choice for a fever. When Marina had any pain, her grandmother would put her hand over Marina's body and the heat of her hands would soothe away the discomfort. Nobody called it Reiki, Medical Qi Gong or any other exotic name. Marina just knew: grandma was magic and she wanted to be like her. At the age of 9, Marina discovered the Children’s Encyclopedia of Chemistry, and read it cover to cover, all 500 pages. She was amazed by the possibilities of mixing together chemicals and making drugs to cure diseases. At the same time it was a disappointment. It seemed that in many situations plants that her grandmother gathered every year provided just as much healing opportunity without as much hassle. So Marina decided not to become a chemist or a pharmacist, but a certified aromatherapist. Marina is published author, black belt martial artist, and an avid knitter. She lives in Cary, North Carolina.
