Gina Marissa

Self-love and wellbeing coach

Gina Marissa is a wellbeing coach and author whose biography in Adapt and Overcome describes study in meditation teaching, yoga breathing, holistic human development and counselling. Her contribution is shaped by a personal period of feeling depleted and unwell in her late forties.

Step Into Self Love follows the questions she began asking about how she treated herself and used her time. Gina describes learning to make room for enjoyable activities without automatically responding with guilt or self-judgment.

The chapter includes mindfulness, breathing, relaxation and spiritual practices that she found meaningful. It introduces her own framework for considering the relationship between daily demands, boundaries and personal wellbeing.

Gina's contribution is a personal and spiritual perspective on learning to recognize one's needs. It explains the experience behind her coaching interests without establishing clinical qualifications or treatment effects beyond the training and individual story described in the book.
