Hey! I’m Tina Marie.

Relational Alchemist, Author, and Guide for Women Seeking Deep Transformation

Relationships and connecting with people have been the center of my life for as long as I can recall, but it hasn’t always been the easiest journey. Being innately heart centered, I operate from a genuine open space that includes an abundance of trust and love for those that I encounter. Life began teaching me that this was not everyone’s default operating system when it came to relating to others. Through experience, I found myself feeling the pangs of embarrassment, shame and disconnection that would ultimately knock me completely off course, searching for love and friendship in all the wrong places.

The BIG 5 Phases Of

My Story

#1: The Breaking Point

I’ll never forget the moment everything fell apart.

I was sitting on my bathroom floor at 2 AM, replaying the same argument I’d had a hundred times before—different partner, same pattern. In that moment of complete exhaustion, I finally asked myself the question I’d been avoiding for years:

“Why do I keep experiencing the same pain in different relationships?”

That question changed my life.

For the first time, I stopped looking outside myself for answers. I stopped blaming partners for not showing up the way I needed. I stopped waiting for someone else to make me feel whole.

And I started the hardest, most transformative work of my life: healing my relationship with myself.

#2: The Journey Inward

What I discovered shattered everything I thought I knew about love and relationships.

I learned that my relational patterns weren’t random—they were directly connected to early attachment wounds, unhealed trauma, and unconscious beliefs I’d carried since childhood. I was unconsciously recreating the same dynamics over and over, hoping for different results.

The pain wasn’t because I was broken.
The pain was because I didn’t know any other way.

So I committed to learning a different way. I studied attachment theory, emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed practices. I worked with therapists, healers, and guides. I read everything I could find. I sat with my pain instead of running from it.

Slowly, everything began to shift.

I started recognizing my triggers before they hijacked me. I learned to set boundaries without guilt. I discovered what I actually wanted in relationships—not what I’d been taught to want. I rebuilt trust with myself.

And as I healed my relationship with myself, every other relationship in my life transformed.

#3: The Calling

As I shared my journey with friends and family, something unexpected happened: women started seeking me out for guidance.

They’d say, “I keep attracting the same type of person” or “I don’t know why I can’t maintain healthy boundaries” or “I’m so tired of feeling like I’m not enough.”

I recognized myself in every story.

And I realized: this is my calling. Not because I have all the answers, but because I’ve walked the path. My whole heart is tied to wanting to see women live full LOVE experiences… without conditions. I know what it feels like to be stuck in painful patterns. I know what it takes to break free. And I know transformation is possible—because I’ve lived it.

For over a decade now, I’ve dedicated my life to guiding heart-centered women through the same journey of relational transformation. I’ve worked with hundreds of women—from corporate executives to stay-at-home mothers, from women healing from divorce to women preparing for new relationships.

And the truth I’ve witnessed again and again is this:
When you heal your relationship with yourself, everything changes.

#4 THE UNDERSTANDING

My journey to understanding how the mind works felt like a walk home. The mind is a processing center, but more importantly, it is a powerful laboratory of creation. Our mind creates our reality. Everything that we truly believe or give routine focus to or dwell upon, will take shape in our experience – it will, and must become true. At its most basic essence, source energy is neutral, it creates neither positive or negative experiences, so our reality becomes a manifestation of our chosen focus and our perception of those experiences.

I’ve studied the mental landscape for over a decade to increase my knowledge and understanding of it. Through real life practices, I gently began to utilize its power to help change my own reality. I learned to be more intentional about how I utilized my mind and controlled the thoughts that I allowed to flow through it. And in turn, I began to command my mind and thoughts, rather than allowing it to command me into realities I didn’t desire.

#5: THE AWAKENING

I am a guide who leads with LOVE; thus, I am sincerely invested in changing the way we relate. Relationships are essential to our quality of life, and we must nurture them to facilitate growth in ourselves and others. Everything that we do involves relating to something or someone else. To do this effectively, we require the knowledge and understanding of deep-rooted principles that incorporate the mystical experience, science, and cognitive awareness. My life has taught me the importance of unveiling the root cause of our relational challenges and doing the vital inner work to clear them. By undertaking these actions, we naturally gravitate toward healing all other aspects of ourselves and directly impact how we relate to others.

WHO I AM TODAY

I’m a Relational Alchemist—which means I guide women through the process of transforming their inner world so their outer relationships can flourish.

My approach blends:

Attachment theory and relational psychology
Somatic practices and nervous system regulation
Emotional intelligence and communication skills
Heart-centered awareness and intuitive guidance
Practical tools you can use immediately

I don’t just help you understand your patterns—I help you break them and build something better.

Beyond my practice, I’m:

A Mother to a beautiful, sensitive daughter who reminds me daily why this work matters. I’m raising her to know her worth, trust her feelings, and relate to others with both strength and softness.

An Author and Publisher. My debut novel launches in June 2026, and I founded Starceed Publishing to bring transformational stories into the world. Writing is another way I process and share the human experience of growth and connection.

A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). My sensitivity used to feel like a burden. Today, I know it’s my greatest gift—it allows me to attune deeply to others and hold space for profound healing.

A Student of Life. I’m currently completing my Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy, constantly learning new ways to facilitate healing and transformation. I believe we’re all forever students of love, relationships, and ourselves.

In Transition. After 25 years in the corporate world (most recently as Head of Global Operations & Business Excellence at Google), I’m stepping fully into heart-centered work. This transition honors my truth: relationships are what matter most, and helping people heal them is how I’m meant to serve.

My Approach

How I Work With You

It’s Not About Fixing You

Let me be clear from the start: you are not broken.

You’ve done the best you could with the tools and awareness you had. Your patterns made sense at one point—they protected you, helped you survive, kept you safe.

But what once protected you may now be limiting you.

My work isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you. It’s about:

Understanding the “why” behind your patterns
Releasing what no longer serves you
Reclaiming parts of yourself you’ve lost or hidden
Building new ways of relating that honor who you truly are

We Go Beneath the Surface

Most relationship advice is surface-level: “Communicate better. Set boundaries. Choose better partners.”

… which is like telling someone with a broken leg to walk differently.

Real transformation requires going deeper. We need to understand:

Why you struggle to communicate your needs
Why boundaries feel impossible to maintain
Why you keep choosing unavailable partners

The answers are in your upbringing, your nervous system, your attachment style, your core beliefs, and have been buried deep within your heart. When we address the root, the symptoms naturally shift.

We Work With Your Whole Self

You’re not just a thinking mind—you’re a feeling body, an intuitive spirit, an emotional being.

That’s why my approach is holistic:

Cognitive: We explore your beliefs, thoughts, and patterns
Emotional: We process feelings you may have been avoiding
Somatic: We work with your body and nervous system
Spiritual: We honor your deeper knowing and intuition

Transformation happens when all parts of you are engaged in the healing process.

We Create Safety First

For real work to happen, you need to feel safe—emotionally, psychologically, spiritually.

I create a container of:

Non-judgment: No shame, no “shoulds,” no criticism
Confidentiality: What you share stays between us
Compassion: I witness your pain with tenderness
Honesty: I’ll tell you truth with kindness
Pace: We move at a speed that honors your system

You’re in the driver’s seat of your healing. I’m here as your guide, not your director.

WHAT MAKES MY WORK DIFFERENT

I’ve lived it. This isn’t theoretical for me. Every tool I teach, I’ve used in my own healing. Every breakthrough I guide you toward, I’ve experienced myself.

I see patterns others miss. After a decade of this work and hundreds of clients, I’ve developed the ability to quickly identify the unconscious dynamics driving your relationships.

I hold the bigger picture. While we address your immediate pain, I’m always guiding you toward the deeper transformation—the shifts that change everything, not just one relationship.

I blend practical and spiritual. You’ll get evidence-based psychology AND intuitive wisdom. Concrete tools AND heart-centered practices. Both matter.

I genuinely care. This isn’t just my job—it’s my calling. Your transformation matters to me. I’m invested in your healing because I believe in you and your capacity to create the life and relationships you desire.

My Values

What Guides My Work

Authenticity Over Perfection
I’m not interested in helping you become someone you’re not. This work is about peeling away layers to reveal who you truly are—and learning to show up as that person in relationships.

Responsibility Without Blame
You didn’t cause your wounds, but you have the power to heal them. I believe in empowering you to take responsibility for your healing journey without carrying shame for your past.

Heart-Centered Humanity
We’re all doing the best we can. I approach every person with compassion, recognizing that behind every “difficult” behavior is someone trying to protect themselves or get a need met.

Growth Through Discomfort
Real transformation requires sitting with uncomfortable feelings and facing hard truths. I’ll support you through that discomfort—but I won’t let you avoid it.

Relationships as Sacred
How we relate to each other is one of the most important aspects of being human. I treat this work with the reverence it deserves—because relationships shape our lives, our happiness, and our sense of meaning.

CREDENTIALS & TRAINING

While my lived experience is my greatest teacher, I’m also committed to ongoing education and professional development:

Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy (completing May 2026)
25 years of leadership experience in corporate operations and business excellence
MBA and Bachelor of Science in Accounting
Extensive training in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, somatic practices, and relational psychology
10+ years working directly with individuals and couples in relational transformation
Published author and founder of Starceed Publishing

I’m not a licensed therapist, and I don’t claim to be. My work occupies a different space—one focused on transformation and healing, not treatment.
