Marin is a physical therapist with a holistic, collaborative approach to healing. In 2014, she graduated from Northern Arizona University with a doctorate in physical therapy and worked in a variety of outpatient settings before starting Thrive Physical Therapy and Myofascial Release in 2018. She has integrated years of orthopedics practice — working with athletes, older adults, and people with chronic symptoms — with her own recovery journey into a compassionate, multidimensional approach to healing.

At Thrive Physical Therapy, we seek and address the root causes of health issues instead of chasing your symptoms around endlessly. Marin understands that including the nervous system in the plan is critical to creating a permanent shift. She integrates dry needling, active & myofascial release, breathwork, yoga, and a variety of neurological exercises to treat chronic and acute conditions.

Over the past year, Marin has been diving deeply into the research on psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT). Although much of the media coverage has focused on mental health, there is also much exciting work that’s being (and been) done to investigate PAT’s effects on chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, headaches, phantom limb pain, and other disorders.

Here at Thrive, we’re working with trusted partners in the mental health and neuroscience fields as we build programs that incorporate movement, nervous system retraining exercises, somatic practices, and hands-on work into the preparation and integration stages of psychedelic-assisted therapy. For more information on this exciting field, check out the Psychedelics and Pain Association, this Scientific American article, and this article in the journal, Pain Practice.

In her free time, Marin enjoys mountain biking, trail running, yoga, traveling, and cooking. In 2020, she founded the Denver Holistic Health Collective and continues to run the group and spread the word about integrative health care.
