Meet Marine Selenee | Family Constellations Therapist + Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Marine Selenee and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marine, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
“Impose your chance, hold tight to your happiness and go toward your risk. Looking your way, they’ll follow.” Rene Char

I love the boldness and audacity of this quote. To me, it basically means it is up to ourselves to create our own happiness, and so, our own life. Some people may laugh, criticize or judge that belief, which is a human coping mechanism. But I’ve witnessed this countless times with myself and my clients, that if you keep moving forward and believing in yourself, first, you will be unstoppable. Then, everyone will begin to understand the risks you took and respect you. And, I feel that respect is very important. You might not agree with me, but mutual respect creates the relationship and the balance between humans.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets me apart from others, is my uniqueness, as all of us are. And everyone above has cheered me on or inspired me through all the twists and turns, with my mother being the constant throughout my entire life. I’m proud to be an immigrant, embracing a speciality (Family Constellations) that no one believed in it at first, publishing my first book with Hay House Connected Fates, Separate Destinies, and my commitment towards my practice for the past 10 years. My work is an extension of who I am. What I do, what I offer, what I share, always depends on what I’m going through. I’m honest, loyal and very grounded. I became the psychologist I wish I had earlier in my life. I think all of us have the right to be happy, but that’s what we are the most afraid of and I love supporting my clients through that fear.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I just moved back to Los Angeles from Miami so it’s only been two months, but most weekends you will find me out in nature for a hike, a nice meal with friends, and finishing the night with some good music. The most exciting people I’ve met are the ones that make me feel safe and loved.

Here are some of my go-to spots that I love right now:

Venice beach and the canal, my dream is to own a house there
The US1 and going to Carmel by the sea and Monterey
Going to Palm Springs for the Aerial Tramway Hiking
I just discovered Members in Hollywood, I love the music there and the decoration are really lovely
I have not been to that many restaurants but I love The Little Door, Joan on 3rd and Zinque

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
So many people that it would take an entire book!

My mother. My Sista Loves (they know who they are). My former partners. My clients. Paulo Coelho.
