Inspiring Conversations with Marina Pirkle of Modern Mind Alchemy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marina Pirkle.

Hi Marina, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have had many people ask me how I became a healer and also quite fascinated by the work I do on this earth. The answer is that I was born a healer. Ever since I can remember I could feel pain in other humans. I could see sadness. I was also always extremely intuitive. I had a hard time making sense of why I should sit in school when I was supposed to be changing the world. I always knew I had a big purpose. Life had an interesting way of putting me through initiations and tests that pushed me to where I am now. I was a caregiver to my father at 15, and what was supposed to be six months turned into over four years. I was obsessed with finding any and every way to help heal my father’s cancer.

This led us to Costa Rica to study shamanic healing. I was awarded custody of my younger sister at 21, and we lived a beautiful life. She passed away last year from a car accident. These major incidents in my life could have turned me cold and to not care about humanity, but it is the opposite. My purpose on this planet is to help alchemize the most painful human experiences and to guide them to the next part of their journey. The reason I have been through so much is to have the deep wisdom and empathy to help others move through painful parts of life.

I am a Clinicial Hypnotherapist, Spiritual Coach and Shamanic Healer. I work to find the places of trauma or blockages in the subconscious mind and together we work from the root of the issue, unwind the past, heal, let it go so we can find the flow state of life. I have a saying ” You are as free as you wish to be” because I truly believe that we can’t help what happened to us in the past, but we can help if it is carried into our future. I want to free as many people as I can from pain, addiction, trauma, grief…. and sometimes it’s beautiful to go on a deep shamanic journey in trance just to experience other realms. My work is my purpose and I care deeply for every soul I am able to guide.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Coach and Practice Shamanic Healing. I have travelled the world and studied with Shamans in Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico City, and all around the United States. My teachers for Hypnotherapy were Randall Churchill and Cheryl Canfield. The best hypnotherapy teachers on the globe. I offer so many things. I am a Regression Specialist, Past Life Regression Specialist, Greif Recovery Specialist, Shamanic Healer, Dream Work, Inner Child Work, Parts Therapy, Shadow Work, Habits and Addiction.. I really have so much I offer. Just ask 🙂 I bet I do it.

Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
I have learned how important community and human connection is. When I lived in South Africa there is a beautiful work ” Ubuntu” It means I am who I am because of who we all are. We are all in this thing together.
