Did you know that there are about 70% of people in the world who experience potentially traumatic event during their lifetimes (ex: wars, natural disasters, deaths of close people, accidents, etc?). However, there is very little help out there and the world of trauma is extremely lonely.
Having gone through a catastrophic event myself that brought numerous psychological and emotional challenges, I realized that the field of hypnotherapy (and therapy in general) does not have an adequate trauma-informed training yet the demand for such professionals is increasing daily as our world experiences more and more stress.
Therefore, I created a signature program that I call “Tragic to Magic” - a systemic approach to working with trauma that guides you and your clients through 3 stages of transforming a catastrophe into healing and a more meaningful and expanded version of self:
a. Abyss
b. Spark
c. Light
Dr. Marina Kostina is an Award-winning Bestselling Author, TEDx Speaker, Award-Winning Neuroscience Coach and Educator, Clinical Hypnotherapist specializing in Trauma and Addictions. She is also the owner of Ravenous 4 Life- an ward-winning healing center in Chicago.
Recently called a “female disruptor” by Thrive Global, Dr. Marina Kostina has been breaking the status quo and living her life beyond everyone’s expectations for years. Rising from the ashes several times in her life, she began the ultimate transformation on June 19, 2022, when she miraculously survived a skydiving accident. After suffering a life-threatening crash, resulting in fifty-two bone breaks, she was left with no face and a poor prognosis for walking independently.
Marina embodied her life’s work, research and passion as she demonstrated unpredictable progress that far exceeded medical and physical limitations. Only 3 months after the crash, she already was teaching yoga and Zumba. Determined to not only survive, but thrive through this experience, she underwent 23 reconstructive surgeries in 3.5 years to take her function, beauty and life back. Now she is on the mission to bring the light to those who are stuck in the abyss of trauma.
Her journey became the foundation of the Amazon Bestselling book “52 Pieces: A Manual of Light to Survive the Abyss of Trauma” that has been displayed on Times Square, NYC, and for which she won Author of The Year award in Hollywood in Inspiration as well as in Reader’s Choice categories.
