Growing up in Serbia during a time of war, patriarchy, turbulent times, Marina Savic Baines always felt something inside her wasn’t aligned with what she saw around her. Her mother and grandmother, like many women, learned to suppress emotions, but Marina’s spirit didn’t settle. From a young age, she sensed things deeply before others could even see them and believed in a higher human potential. She was curious, intuitive, and driven by a deep sense of justice and goodness.
That internal voice never left her. Instead, it guided her from the drama classrooms of university to the heart of somatic healing, where she would later help others reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner truths.
Her Body Was Fit But Her Soul Was Exhausted
Marina Savic spent almost 20 years in the fitness industry. From opening a women-only fitness studio in Belgrade to working in Dubai’s largest fitness company as a coach and manager, her external life looked successful. But deep down, something was missing.
“I realized I was using my body to mask emotional pain . I was living a life that didn’t fully feel like mine.”
She felt Burnout, she experienced losses on many life levels, and that forced her to pause and in that stillness, she discovered the healing power of the nervous system, breath, and body. That reconnection changed how she lived, loved, and led.
She built a conscious marriage, overcame emotional and physical challenges, and began attracting aligned people and opportunities. This transformation wasn’t just a personal milestone it became her purpose.
Building a Business From Zero Was Her Spiritual Initiation
After years in traditional roles, Marina took the bold leap into entrepreneurship. But the road wasn’t easy. She faced financial loss, deep fear, and uncertainty.
“There were nights I had no income, no clear plan. But I trusted my vision, even when the outside world gave me every reason to doubt.”
Through this struggle, she uncovered the deeper workings of the nervous system and energy body. Each challenge sharpened her understanding and expanded her capacity to support others.
Entrepreneurship became her greatest teacher. It taught her resilience, to trust those moments when feels that nothing is happening and everything is crumbling, and the sacred importance of aligning work with inner truth.
She Helps Others Come Home to Themselves
Marina’s work today centers on embodied healing supporting women and men Visionaries, leaders to pro athletes, reconnect with their bodies not just as physical forms but as vessels of intelligence, energy, creation and higher performance that comes from the coherence of the body and mind. She offers one-on-one sessions, nervous system mentoring, and is co-hosting a one-day retreat in October alongside soul sister and fellow healer Frankie Shekon from Scotland.
My deepest fulfillment comes when I see others return home to themselves, she says. It’s an indescribable blessing to witness.
She believes the body is a gateway to higher consciousness and creation.
“Our body never lies. It holds grief, fear, joy, and wonder. And in learning to feel, we begin to truly heal.”
Success to Her Isn’t About Hustle It’s About Presence
Marina’s philosophy radically shifts the common idea of success. She wants people to move away from performance-driven living and towards a state of presence, softness, and truth.
“Stop pushing. Start listening. Your sensitivity is not a weakness, it’s your greatest strength.”
She hopes to be remembered not by titles, but as someone who helped women and men rise without abandoning their bodies or souls. She values unity over competition and reminds others that deep love and transformation start from within.
Living a Life of Service To People and Animals Alike
Beyond her professional life, Marina is deeply devoted to giving back. She cares for street animals daily and views it as a sacred service. Nature, animals, and human connection fuel her soul.
Living in peace with her skin, and in alignment with her truth, is what she sees as her greatest achievement. Not awards, not business titles but living every day in purpose and presence.
She’s Writing a Book to Leave Behind a New Legacy
Marina is currently writing her first book, something she’s carried in her heart for years and It will be a personal account of her healing journey, filled with stories, life wisdom , and real life tools for our higher evolution.
She aims to blend science with soul, sharing knowledge of the brain and nervous system in a way that feels human, warm, and deeply embodied, as she is starting to dive deeper into her studies of Brain , with “Brain Academy “ and Gregory Caremans.
This book is my offering a legacy for creating a new world she shares. Not through theory, but through lived experience.
Marina’s Vision A More Connected Embodied Future
Her long-term goal is to create a community rooted in integrity, healing, and presence. She believes human evolution depends on how deeply we’re connected to ourselves, to each other, and to Earth.
“Everything starts within our nervous systems, our perceptions, our capacity to love. We’re evolving every moment even when nothing seems to be happening.”
Her mission is to awaken that remembrance in others. To remind them they are already enough. They are already whole.
Final Words, Let Life Guide You Not Your Fears
If there’s one message Marina leaves with everyone she touches, it’s this:
Let life guide you not your fears. You’re not late. You’re being prepared for a path only your soul knows how to walk.
Through her work, life, and presence, Marina Savic Baines is lighting the way for women and men , for humanity, and for a world ready to rise with softness, love, and embodied power. In unity of the Body, Mind and Spirit.
