WELCOME SEEKER OF TRUTH
Walking with you
on your path back to yourself
Marilena is a lineage therapist, healer, educator and spiritual mentor
guiding people to move through change with clarity and presence, supported by Hellenic Wisdom lineage. Her support to you is also inspired by her deep and long studies in Shakta Tantra lineage teachings, Somatic & Energy Healing and the rhythms of the natural world.
Note With Gratitute
Recognizing spiritual lineage is a way of honoring the roots of the knowledge – wisdom that the teachings carries. We all have origins—woven from the lands we walk upon, the people who shape us, and the knowledge passed down through generations. No practice exists in isolation; teachers, traditions, and the wisdom they impart guide our journey.
With reverence, I bow to my teachers—the guiding lights who have illuminated my path. Without them, I would not have found my way. A deep bow to my spiritual teachers / mentors Dafne & Kaya and my birth heritage of Ancient Hellanian Spirituality lineage. Like a constellation of guiding lights, you illuminate the vast sky of liberation, showing the way for all who follow.
About Marilena
With more than thirty years of dedicated immersion in art, embodied practice, and inner philosophy, Marilena serves the Hellenic spiritual and philosophical tradition with steady devotion. Students and seekers resonate with her technical precision and her ability to weave therapeutic practices and teachings in a way that is personal, essential, and transformative for the contemporary human being.
As a mother, artist, teacher, and therapist, Marilena works through Hellenic cosmology, feminine archetypes, and ancient wisdom, creating spaces where women can move with safety, subtlety, and truth through the transformative phases of their lives. For her, the body is a vessel of memory, the soul a cosmic order, and embodied presence a path of return to inner truth.
Her three decades of study in the visual arts, art history, embodied practice, and esotericism form the subtle foundation of her work. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in the Czech Republic (BFA, MFA), she carries a refined sensitivity to symbol, myth, and the subtle body — qualities that permeate every aspect of her teaching.
Alongside the Hellenic lineage, Marilena devoted more than twenty years to intensive formal and informal study of inner traditions and embodied practices. These teachings now function as supportive tools — not as identity — and are integrated with delicacy into her therapeutic and pedagogical work.
Her work weaves Hellenic feminine wisdom with selected inner tools, creating a field of deep embodied connection and psychic development. Rooted in Presence, Devotion, and Discernment, she offers a space where every woman can explore embodied experience, healing, and spiritual awakening at her own rhythm.
Students come to transform their lives in ways that are gentle yet profound. Her programs are finely crafted, organized with meaning and rhythm, while she remains fully present to the needs of each woman, moment by moment.
Her wish is for Hellenic wisdom — the revelatory promise of embodied truth — to shine through every facet of her teaching.
Women’s Health & Spirituality
Spiritual Therapeutic Approach
From her earliest studies on the inner path 2001, Marilena’s work has been rooted in the feminine. Her initial training in women‑centered spiritual practice and embodied inner work laid the foundation for a lifelong dedication to supporting women through the subtle and profound transitions of their lives. This early initiation shaped the core of her path: the woman, her body, her psyche, her cyclical nature.
As her studies deepened, she expanded her work through specialised training in pregnancy and postpartum support, enriching her feminine‑centered approach with therapeutic and holistic tools. Over the last decade, she has accompanied women through the transformative phases of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period — and equally through all other cycles of womanhood, offering grounded, embodied, and sensitive guidance.
Through years of working closely with women’s groups, her programs emerged organically as the distilled essence of decades of lived knowledge and experience. Today, her approach integrates spiritual insight, embodied awareness, and therapeutic sensitivity to support women in reclaiming vitality, emotional steadiness, and inner coherence.
Integrative Therapeutic & Healing Touch
Body Work – Hands On
Marilena’s work has been shaped through years of dedicated study of the body and the embodied experience. Her training in biotic anatomy, somatic healing, and spinal release practices rooted in a lineage of therapeutic tradition has created a deep foundation that supports an integrated approach to healing and health.
In her practice, therapeutic touch, hands‑on release techniques, somatic unwinding, and embodied guidance serve as bridges between the body, the psyche, and a woman’s inner rhythm. She works with the body as a vessel of memory and intelligence, supporting the release of stored patterns, the regulation of the nervous system, and the restoration of natural coherence.
Her specialisation in Restorative Yoga for Women’s Health, together with therapeutic decompression and lineage‑based spinal work, allows her to offer deeply supportive, evidence‑informed care to women navigating fertility journeys, hormonal transitions, the delicate postpartum period, phases of emotional fluctuation, and experiences of pain.
Through years of accompanying women’s groups, her programs have emerged as a distilled expression of lived knowledge — weaving all of the above into a unified therapeutic approach that supports women across every phase of life.
Presence, Discernment, Respect
Presence
Marilena teaches from a place of lived experience — years of guiding women through embodiment, healing, and inner restoration. Her work is shaped by therapeutic yoga, somatic wisdom, feminine philosophy, and the subtle teachings she has integrated through her own spiritual discipline.
She is not a merchant offering techniques, but a guide of embodied wisdom, sharing what has been tested in her own life, her practice, and her work with women. Her priority is to carry her teachings with clarity, integrity, and devotion — offering only what she knows can truly support transformation.
Discernment
Discernment is one of Marilena’s core principles, a quiet, powerful intelligence that shapes how she teaches, what she offers, and how she protects the therapeutic field.
Her programs are curated with care: ~ some offerings are open‑handed, accessible to all, ~ others are private, intimate, and offered only when a woman is ready.
This discernment ensures safety, depth, and alignment. It honors each woman’s sovereignty and protects the integrity of the work.
Respect for Your Journey
Her programs are designed for individuals who feel called to heal, soften, and awaken. Students are invited to cultivate humility, patience, self‑responsibility, and reverence for their own unfolding. Those who study with Marilena are not transactional participants ~ they are seekers stepping into a deeper relationship with themselves. Each woman is supported to move at her own pace, honoring her nervous system, her life circumstances, and her readiness. There is no rush, no performance — only sincere devotion to the inner journey.
