Modern Mind Alchemy where science meets the sacred.

Marina Pirkle is a Forbes-featured clinical hypnotherapist, shamanic healer, and the founder of Modern Mind Alchemy. Trained under world-renowned hypnotherapy educator Randall Churchill, recognized as an American Express Luminary Fellow, and trusted by Auberge Resorts Collection, she brings rare clinical authority to a practice shaped by years of studying with shamanic healers across South Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the American Southwest.

Her work moves through the subconscious, the body, and the soul simultaneously — dismantling the patterns that keep people stuck and replacing them with something that actually lasts.

Watch Marina's Story

+ I want to help you fall in love with your life

I blend ancient shamanic traditions with clinical hypnotherapy to help people reconnect with who they really are. Whether you're navigating a career shift, healing from a relationship, or just feeling stuck in a loop you can't explain — this work meets you where you are.

I've trained with healers in Mexico, Peru, and across the American Southwest. I've been featured in Forbes and American Express for my approach to modern wellness.

The thing I'm proudest of? The quiet transformations — clients who finally sleep through the night, who leave jobs that were draining them, who start trusting themselves again.

Common questions.

How does hypnotherapy actually work?

Hypnosis is the state. Clinical hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of that state by a trained practitioner. You stay aware and in control throughout — the subconscious has its own protective wisdom and won't accept suggestions that conflict with your values. What clinical hypnotherapy is →

What is hypnoshamanic healing?

It's Marina's signature modality: trained shamanic lineages held inside a clinical hypnotherapeutic container — neither pure clinical practice nor freestanding energy work. Marina trained in Mexican curanderismo, Peruvian, American Southwest, and West African lineages over years on four continents. The full guide →

What is past life regression like?

Marina doesn't make claims either way about past lives. What's clinically clear: the subconscious reliably produces vivid, emotionally significant material in regression sessions, and working with that material produces measurable shifts. Past life regression, explained →

Is virtual hypnotherapy as effective as in-person?

Yes. Marina's clients who've done both formats consistently report the depth and outcomes are equivalent. The hypnotic state is internal — once you're in it, the medium of the connection becomes incidental. How online sessions work →

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on what you're working with. Some material moves significantly in a single session; multi-layered or deeply encoded patterns warrant a series. Marina is direct about her assessment after the first session, with no upsell pressure. How long the work takes →

What is shadow work?

Bringing unintegrated subconscious material into awareness so it stops running your life from underground. Talk therapy can articulate shadow material but rarely integrates it — that happens at the subconscious layer, and Marina's shadow work reaches that layer directly. What shadow work is →

Is hypnotherapy covered by insurance?

Most insurance doesn't cover hypnotherapy directly. HSA/FSA accounts often reimburse it as a wellness expense — coverage varies by plan, and Marina can provide a receipt for submission. Ask about your situation →

How do I choose a hypnotherapist in Austin?

Hypnotherapy has a wide quality range, so weigh the signals that matter: real clinical training, direct lineage training, a clear ethical practice with explicit limits, and credible outside recognition like press features. What the Forbes feature reflects →
