Living in Dubai, Marina Savić is a human who supports other humans to Thrive through the Vitality of their hearts on all levels of the mind, body and soul. If she needs to name that, she can say Holistic Vitality Mentor and guide. Her first call was Drama University, she is a graduated actress. From there life led her into sports and fitness. From there into the healing and more holistic approach and work on the human physical existence. This is very shortly explained. Marina doesn't have a particular hobby. But she does have her rituals , things she loves to do. Her whole existence and also her mission through her mentoring is to better humanity, that operates through love,c ompassion, kindness, joy, and emphaty. She she loves helping animals, nature, and people. She respects every life on our planet. So usually during the evening time, she goes around helping cats to survive in Dubai. Helping makes her soul happy. Every act of compassion is what she stands for. Maybe this is unusual in today's times but she would rather go to help animals daily, than to watch TV or just being in the clubs. People before would judge her by her looks but when they meet her and hear her, they are surprised with what her values are and for what she stands for. So all the rituals she does daily, are all towards vitality, higher consciousness, living in the present moment and so on. This can be considered a hobby for her. Marina went through many hard things in her life and heart is the place that saved her and brought her where she today. Heart is the courage to listen, to show up, to fully trust her journey when it's most hard, to be true to herself no matter what. Heart is a deep knowing, deeper than intuition. This is what she teaches. But she needed to learn through her own battles,loneliness, sadness, feeling small, leaving her country, losing a parent, divorce of her parents, experiencing war in her country, many many things. Marina hopes she can inspire others to never ever doubt themselves and the voice within the heart. And she sends love and light to you. Instagram: @marinasavic1111
