I’m Marina Stumpf.

An intuitive artist, a medicine woman, an herbalist, a physiotherapist, a circle holder, a mother. I am. Beyond any veils and labels I may identify with, I simply am.

Brazilian by birth, Italian by roots, Australian by love. A multicultural, multi-passionated woman, a student of ancestral wisdom traditions and neurosciences. My practices are integrative, trauma-informed, somatic and deeply restorative for the inner and outer ecosystems.

I hold and co-create sacred spaces for self-inquiry, remembrance, deep nourishment and transformation. I serve as a guide and a bridge, holding others as they navigate their way home to their true essence, supported by earth and spirit rituals and intuitive arts, ancient and modern practices.

The experiences I hold are guided by the initiations and traditional indigenous trainings and wisdom I have received, my lineage, upbringing, life experiences and creative explorations.

They are also informed by my clinical knowledge and trainings as a herbalist and critical and acute care physiotherapist with over 15 years of experience supporting clients during what is often the most traumatic and stressful time of their lives.

Acknowledgements

I deeply acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which I live, play, and work, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Boonwurrung people. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging, and recognise their profound wisdom, healing and caretaking of the land and the people. 

My deep gratitude to the indigenous first custodians of the medicines, practices and wisdom I share with permission, and the golden chain of teachers before me.
