Marina Tascoff

BSW, BA Social Development, TRLC, LMT

Marina brings over two decades of experience in integrative wellness and social impact. Her journey began in the healing arts, where she ran a thriving practice as a massage therapist and yoga instructor. Later, she dedicated more than ten years to social work and program leadership, serving in nonprofit sectors and academia.

Marina once viewed her backgrounds in the healing arts and social work as drastically different where one was rooted in deep healing and emotional release through the healing arts and the other grounded in systems advocacy and structural support. Over time, she came to realize how deeply connected they are, when utilized together, they form an intersectional holistic framework. Both offer pathways to resilience, one through body-based healing that supports emotional release, embodied regulation, and reconnection; the other through structured guidance, advocacy, and trauma-responsive support. In her current practice where Marina utilizes this dual-rooted approach, she creates the space for clarity, regulation, and growth that adapts to each person’s needs; whether they’re navigating trauma, transitions, or simply seeking deeper alignment.

As a Massage Therapist, Life Coach, Yoga Instructor, and Yoga Retreat Facilitator, she offers her modalities as distinct or combined pathways, allowing each client to choose the support that best fits their needs. Her practice is rooted in a People-Centered & Trauma-Informed (PCTI) Approach, which:

•          Supports clients in making decisions about their own well-being

•          Services feel secure, welcoming, and consistent

•          Co-creates goals and plans in partnership with each client

•          Focuses on resilience, dignity, and personal growth

•          Honors diverse lived experiences while avoiding shame or blame

Marina is passionate about creating inclusive, collaborative spaces where transformation feels safe, empowering, and deeply personal.
