Today we’d like to introduce you to Marina Sbrochi.
Hi Marina, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I have probably had more jobs than most. Cocktail waitress, Flight attendant, makeup artist, computer trainer, help desk, account manager, inside sales, Director of Communications for a non-profit, author, actor, model, producer of radio show, podcast creator and host, therapist, hypnotist, DJ and now… licensed esthetician. Here is where I am combining tools from my therapy practice, like hypnosis and affirmations, with esthetics.
I have always been curious and creative. First, chasing jobs for money or perks, then trying to find my way to something I really like. I guess you could say I like a lot of things.
I never imagined myself as someone that would choose one thing to do for the rest of her life. That’s just not me.
Like most people, I learn by doing. I have been married and divorced twice. Just to make sure you know. 🙂
I have three amazing children. I am in a constant state of learning and growth. I aspire to always be better than I was yesterday.
Living fully in peace and alignment with myself, my family, and my friends. Growing a business I love. Truly grateful for it all.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
They say the rainbow comes after the rain. Often times I felt like I was playing life on hard mode. You know, when you keep experiencing the same thing over and over, and nothing changes. Until it does.
What I know now that I didn’t 20 years ago, was about attachment styles in relationships and childhood trauma and how all of that will play out in your adult romantic relationships.
I had to go through these relationships in this exact way to be where I am now. Certainly, at those times, it didn’t feel like it. In 2018, I felt my world was crumbling down. Going through a semi-high conflict divorce, taking trauma clients, and not doing a good job balancing that with three kids and three pets. I literally crashed in all ways. My health was declining, I was depressed, I wasn’t fun to be around.
Until the day I decided to take my power back. Instead of ruminating about the past, my ex, or how I have been wronged all these years by different people, I decided to let it all go. To be present and future focused, to ease up with life.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Currently, I am combining my skills as an esthetician at Energetic Glow. I truly believe that energy radiates through our cells and shows up on our face.
When you come to my space, you feel like you are in relaxing spa. Soft lighting. I greet you with tea, and we talk about your skin while your feet are on the grounding mat. After that, you enjoy relaxing on a heated mat with 14 lbs. of amethyst crystals and far infrared heat.
I use women-owned products in my business. I have two organic skincare lines, even though I have zero toxic chemicals in all the products I use.
Your experience at Energetic Glow is multi-sensory.
What sets me apart from other estheticians is that I have a Master in Professional Counseling, and I am trained in clinical hypnosis. While I am not doing therapy as an esthetician, you can add hypnosis to your facial and work on something like reducing anxiety and stress, better sleep, motivation, creativity, or letting go of what doesn’t serve you.
You can add affirmations to the facial – as affirmations are research-proven to work.
While you are here, add on Reiki for more energy work.
Combine all these elements together, and you get two for one! You look amazing and glowing after your facial and you are deeply relaxed and energized and have definitely lowered your stress level for at least the hour you were with me.
I am 51 years old, and I have not used Botox of filler for years. I don’t judge. I think every person should do what they want to their skin. You can see what my skin looks like on my Instagram – no filters ever.
If you are someone looking to age without invasive procedures, there are many things you can do! My most popular treatments to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, melasma, and improve tone and texture — are the BioRePeel and the Xpeel. Both of these are no downtime, no pain, minimal to no shedding peels for all skin types in any season.
My prices are reasonable; I do not believe in overcharging because I’m popular or because I can. Each one of my clients I care for and want them to walk away looking great, feeling great and thinking they got more than what they paid for.
Do you have any advice for those looking to network or find a mentor?
Ask. Someone once told me that if you don’t ask the question, the answer is always no. I took that to heart. For networking, you have to put yourself out there. Go to conferences in your niche or something you have an interest in. Listen to podcasts. Ask someone directly if they have time or would be interested in mentoring you. Is there something you can help them with? Make it a win-win?
I recently went to a workshop called Alive OS with Suzy Batiz here in Dallas. It was amazing! I met women that were like-minded for friendship and business. I learned so much from Suzy! She was so open to sharing her knowledge and wisdom.
I would say, seeking out more intimate workshops like the one I did with Suzy — that was really game changing for me!
