Today we’d like to introduce you to Marnina Reid.
Marnina, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I started being attracted to healing work, personal development, and holistic health because I needed it desperately. I moved to California with a lot of unresolved issues and traumas; physically, emotionally, and mentally and thought that once I moved away my life would be better. But, you take yourself with you wherever you go. I had created some extreme personal situations and relationships in my life that were unhealthy for me. They were a reflection of the pathology I learned so well as a child.
I attended a small school here in San Diego called Body Mind College that shifted my life immensely. My long time teacher Barry Green Ph.D. was the founder of the school. His program was like nothing I’ve seen. I learned to begin to dismantle old patterns that were stopping me from feeling uplifted, I was able to support my physical body through learning what systems needed fortifying. One of the major ones was mending my digestive system from years of being on antibiotics. I was frequently sick with ear infections, strep throat, and mono while growing up. I learned how to release old pent up emotions from my past. I stepped into a whole new world of healing and possibility. As I began to experience myself lighter, happier, and healthier my sense of well being shot through the roof.
Schools of thought surrounding what it means to actually heal, and shift ourselves on any level became my focus and passion. I learned early on that “you can’t give, what you haven’t got” and since then my life has been a test lab for learning, clearing, healing, releasing, and relating. This is what I now can offer others. I have learned that anything can be healed and I wholeheartedly believe that. We just have to be willing to do all the underlying work; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This means looking deeply at what is stopping us in these areas. We can have actually healing in our lives versus a band aide fix or behavior modification. We can go much deeper than that and transform into the best version of ourselves.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
It has definitely not been a smooth road, but challenges create opportunities for growth, and the one thing that I know for sure is that I’ve grown.
My biggest challenge has been not fully knowing and living in my worth, trusting that I was/am “good enough,” and deserving of wonderful things. I’ve had many experiences where I didn’t fully own and take responsibility for what I was feeling and needing.
In my experience with working with people, we are certainly more alike than we are different. Most of us struggle with some degree of feeling or believing we are “not good enough” even though it may show up very differently in our respective lives.
It’s been said we teach what we need to learn, and I believe this has been true for my life. One of the most important keys to transforming ourselves and living life differently is the understanding that our patterns are not who we are, they are something that we learned early on in our children for important reasons. It is possible to “unlearn” the patterning that no longer works for us and find a totally fulfilling one to replace it. Then we practice that; until we attain it.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Reidentify story. Tell us more about the business.
My business is called Reidentify. Where you literally get to re-identify who you are and rid yourself of old patterning and ways of thinking and feeling that doesn’t work anymore. Cutting edge methods are learned to uproot emotional and mental blocks that keep one from living their own definition of a fulfilled life. This means guiding one to a better feeling place. We all want and deserve to feel better
I work one-on-one with clients in person, over the phone, and via Skype or video. I work with groups as well. I also have an online program for those short on time or don’t enjoy in person. I use many methods of healing; emotional release work, EFT, bioenergetics, therapeutic bodywork, and crystal light therapy.
What sets me apart from others is my intense focus and understanding of how to release emotions and why this is needed in our society and our world. Our society needs emotionally intelligent people. People who are very aware of what they are feeling and why, and those who are not just reacting to everyday life, but rather responding and thriving. We are conditioned to skip over learning what to do with our emotions when we don’t feel good, not to mention how to resolve them and find peace in our hearts. Many of us have learned to look to things outside of ourselves for relief and peace of mind. But true peace comes from within. How we feel is everything and if we don’t have the tools to turn around an emotional state and support ourselves effectively, then we are suffering.
Help is available for depression, anxiety, overwhelm, anger, and grief/loss, It doesn’t matter what the story is although it’s important that it be acknowledged heard. The work goes beyond talking. Dynamic practices are used that involve the body, the breath, and the voice to access the psyche and facilitate deep inner clearing.
Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I believe I’m lucky so I think that makes me even luckier! What is evident in the work that I do is that if we hold an underlying belief about something (conscious or unconscious), it is something that we will see manifest and show up in our lives whether it is a positive thing or negative. For example, if I believe that I easily get sick and that it’s normal for me to get four colds every year, I will most likely end up creating that even if I don’t know that I’m doing it. On the contrary, if I believe in my core that there is an easy solution to every problem then it’ll be easier for me to feel confident coming up with solutions in unique situations.
I have held a belief since I was little about being lucky. I used to find money on the jersey shore and random things like a watch that was broken that I got curious about and put back together and it actually still worked.
Now, I feel lucky in business. I feel very grateful that people mostly find out about me via word of mouth and that it’s sustainable for me.
