Who is Marinella
Marinella, a native of the island of Sardinia (Italy), is a Certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, Holistic Counselor, Certified Marma Therapy Technician and Level I and II Reiki practitioner. Marinella graduated from the Center for Ayurveda after completing a two-year one on one intensive program under an Ayurvedic Vaidya. She then furthered her knowledge by attending continuing education classes with Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute, Dr. David Frawley at the American Institute of Vedic Studies and Acharya Shunya at the Awakened Self Foundation.
Marinella’s Journey With Ayurveda
Marinella’ s personal healing journey started when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She was deeply motivated by her healer and mentor to pursue a conscious and healthy lifestyle that has profoundly changed her. Inspired to improve the lives of others by sharing her life-changing journey with Ayurveda, she decided to become an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach and Holistic Counselor. Thanks to Ayurveda Marinella has overcome Multiple Sclerosis and many of the symptoms related to it such as low energy, anxiety, fatigue, and depression. Marinella firmly believes that our body has the intelligence and capacity to heal itself if given the proper care, tools and attention. Health and happiness are our birth right and Ayurveda can show us the path to reclaim them in the most gentle and natural way. Ayurveda is not about disease. Ayurveda is about living an abundant and healthy life! Marinella’s journey is not over as she continues to study under her Guru Acharya Shunya to expand her knowledge of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Advaita Vedanta(Non dual philosophy) to be of help and service to those in need and the community at large.
Her Mission and Approah
In 2018, Marinella created EliMai Ayurveda to provide guidance to those who seek wellbeing that comes from within and that uses the body's intelligence as a catalyst. This wellbeing isn't just physical or mental, but deeply rooted in our authentic essence beyond stereotypes or societal roles—a true state of balance that merges our essence with our Ayurvedic blueprint. Only when we become aware of our Nature (Prakriti) can we reach our greatest potential and transform. Her coaching style is understanding and nurturing, providing a comfort zone for your aspirations and obstacles. Respecting your individuality, she offers non-judgmental support and guidance at your own pace. Adopting a comprehensive viewpoint, she considers your emotional, mental, and physical well-being, understanding that harmony in these facets leads to real progress. Together, you will uncover your inherent strengths, transform restrictive beliefs, and establish lasting change, always cherishing your individual journey and possibilities.
P.S. Curious about the meaning of 'EliMai'? It's the magic combo of her beautiful daughters' names.
I bow to my teacher Acharya Shunya, my teacher’s teacher, and my teacher’s teacher’s guru. Om Shree Gurubhyo Namaha!
