About

Hello Humans,

I’m Marina Zd. Startup Human was born in 2010 after I left my corporate job to volunteer in a Vietnamese children’s shelter and a few months later was kidnapped in Central America. These life-altering events set me on the path of discovery. For ten years I studied positive psychology, world religions and took various personal development courses. I forgave my abductors, overcame the victim mentality and created positive relationships. Today I’m a certified Master Practitioner in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), a technique that uncovers unconscious blocks to getting what you want in life. I developed three programs focusing on the topics of forgiveness, romantic relationships and overcoming trauma and limiting beliefs. I invite you to visit Startup Human YouTube Channel to watch selected presentations and learn more about these topics. If you feel that you may need individual coaching, please visit Programs page and send an inquiry via Contact page.

Have you tried therapy and other tools, but still find yourself stuck?

Here you will learn:

• how to overcome outdated mental programs that we learned in childhood
• how to stop automatic negative reactions when you are triggered
• how to create new habits and much more!

Wouldn’t you say that by now humankind should have solved its main emotional and behavioral issues? Instead we spend years learning fancy subjects only to suffer the rest of our lives from low self-esteem, heartbreaks, financial struggles or feeling lonely and bitter in the world full of people.

Perhaps we should start teaching everyone good parenting, resilience, and how to build positive relationships. Unfortunately these valuable skills are not taught in school. To improve human wellbeing we need to teach these skills very early in life.

Welcome to Startup Human!
