Marina Kay

Marina Kay is a breathwork facilitator and executive coach who works with women in high-stress careers. She runs breathwork sessions, nervous system courses, and health challenges through her community, Women Who Breathe. Most of her clients are executives and entrepreneurs dealing with chronic stress and burnout.

Before she started this work, Marina had a career in corporate consulting and startups. She burned out. That experience is the backbone of what she does now. She left the corporate world and built a practice around helping other professional women avoid the same thing, or recover from it. She's not theoretical about burnout. She's been through it.

Her breathwork covers a wide range of protocols, from functional breathing techniques to somatic practices. The functional side is about how you breathe day to day. The somatic side goes deeper into the body, working with the nervous system to release stored tension. A typical offering looks something like her "Pre-Conference Glow & Restore" session, a breathwork experience designed specifically for professional women in Austin who want to decompress and reset.

Marina talks openly about the specific pressures women face in male-dominated industries and fast-paced startup environments. Her coaching isn't generic wellness advice. It's aimed at women who are already successful but paying for that success with their health and energy. She helps them regulate their nervous systems and find ways to lead without grinding themselves down.

Women Who Breathe operates mostly online, with live virtual breathwork sessions and quarterly health challenges focused on nervous system and hormonal health. The community is built for women in demanding careers who need something more targeted than a meditation app but more flexible than weekly in-person sessions. You can find Marina and Women Who Breathe at womenwhobreathe.com and @womenwhobreathe on social media.

If you're a woman in Austin working a high-pressure job and your body is keeping score, Marina Kay's work is worth looking into. She's specific about who she helps and why, which is more useful than another breathwork teacher promising something vague about inner peace.
