“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”

I’m mar! Thanks for being here & for listening as I take some space… Here are a few things I am all about:

+ community over everything

+ spaces where you can be fully yourself (and don’t have to minimize or change yourself to be “acceptable”)

+ dancing poorly (but with soul 😛) and singing loudly

+ reading in bed, parsing through tasting notes of a pour-over or espresso, writing poetry, journalling about ~emotions~, singing along to Hadestown (again), attempting to write a play, watching Taskmaster while editing photos

+ heading back to Japan or the west coast to visit my fam/friends. my fav places to travel are where my people are!

+ constantly unlearning, relearning and becoming as I go

I am a human & artist who strives to find connection in all things.

My Values

  1. You are allowed to be YOU.

there is room for you here. this is a space that was created out of a ferocious desire to give the permission for you to be fully and fearlessly you. this is a space where you are wanted for being exactly YOU.

2. Be curious.

there is no growth without asking questions and following where the evidence leads.

3. Embrace the ordinary.

there is truly nothing better than right here, right now: the present moment is the sacred ground that holds all of who you are right now.

4. make more bad art.

you can’t create anything great if you are worried about it being good. make more. make it worse. love it more. keep creating.

Music is a huge part of my life and how I process through seasons and emotions. I make a playlist for every year of my life & also every couple that I do a session with.

listen to what I’m jamming to these days:

Want to just chat or grab a coffee? (or go to karaoke? lol) DM me on insta (though I’m a slow responder there) or email me at marmizunaka@gmail.com.

My inbox is always open :)
