Background and Experience
Marjie Martini is a passionate health and wellness coach and the founder of 88 Degrees Wellness. With over 25 years of experience in the beauty and wellness industry, she has been a trailblazer in promoting holistic health long before wellness became a trend. Marjie opened her first salon and spa in 1996, and in November 2021, she launched 88 Degrees Wellness, realizing her dream of helping others achieve vibrant health and well-being.
Her journey in the wellness world began in 1998 after the passing of her father, which sparked a profound transformation in her life. Driven by a deep desire to improve her health, Marjie became a certified yoga instructor the same year. Over the years, she embraced a wide range of alternative treatments, vitamin supplements, and energetic practices to gain a comprehensive understanding of wellness.
Marjie’s extensive life experience and relentless pursuit of knowledge have allowed her to develop a unique approach to health, blending traditional wisdom with modern insights. She became a certified health coach in 2022, further solidifying her commitment to guiding others on their health journeys.
Personal Journey and Transformation
From a young age, Marjie struggled with overeating, which led her to reach a size 16 and 190 pounds in her teens and early 20s. Determined to reclaim her health and vitality, she embarked on a transformative journey that involved three years of dedicated diet and exercise. Through sheer determination and resilience, Marjie successfully lost 60 pounds and has maintained her ideal weight ever since. This personal transformation fueled her passion for health and wellness, inspiring her to empower others to achieve similar success.
A pivotal moment in Marjie’s health journey occurred five years ago when she faced a near-death experience that required an emergency hysterectomy. This life-changing event introduced her to the exceptional care and expertise of Mexican medical professionals, leaving her deeply impressed by their compassion and dedication. It was a turning point that reinforced her belief in the power of holistic healing and the importance of finding the right healthcare partners.
Philosophy and Beliefs
At the core of Marjie’s philosophy is the belief that the body is an incredible organism capable of healing itself and continuously regenerating. She emphasizes the importance of removing toxins and inflammation to allow the body to renew and regenerate all areas in need of healing. Marjie’s approach is rooted in the understanding that each person is unique, and finding optimal health requires discovering each individual’s balance.
Marjie is an advocate for personalized health solutions, recognizing that society often seeks quick fixes and pharmaceutical promises that fall short. With over 30 years of exploration and experience, she knows that true healing comes from within and that individuals must take responsibility for their own health. Her mission is to guide her clients in finding their unique health paths, integrating nutrition, hormones, exercise, vitamins, minerals, and work-life balance.
Passions and Inspirations
Beyond her professional pursuits, Marjie is an avid surfer with a special soul connection to Mother Ocean. For 20 years, the waves have been her sanctuary, inspiring and grounding her in her journey. Her connection to the ocean reflects her belief in the interconnectedness of all living things and the profound impact nature has on our well-being.
Marjie is also passionate about women’s passage through menopause and the challenges that this significant life transition presents. She believes this critical phase has been neglected and misunderstood, with women’s concerns and issues dismissed by doctors for decades. Having personally experienced hormonal deficiencies, Marjie discovered bio-identical hormones 10 years ago and has been a dedicated advocate for them ever since. Her experience with these treatments has been transformative, empowering her to support other women through their own menopause journeys.
Marjie’s passion for bio-identical hormone therapy has been transformative in her life, and she is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with her clients. She has been using these treatments for eight years, experiencing firsthand their remarkable effects on her energy, vitality, and overall health.
