We were lucky to catch up with Marianna Trofimova recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Marianna, thanks for joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?
There is always a story behind some mission. It just depends how powerful the story is. The passion is the key . the passion and focusing on what you want will bring you to success with your mission . My story is deep and tragic , losing your parent , your mom when she is young and sick with cancer with no cure or pain medicine provided is so devastating. When i found out my mom sick with cancer and i cant’t help her, i thought i will dye with her , that is how much i loved her and she was everything for me . so she passed away and i told to myself i will find out how to prevent it, where its coming from and why. So i just started digging a lot information about the body and illnesses and alternative medicine and more scientific evidence about the sugar and ph balance and i see the difference with my clients who are, following my diet and advices , lets say on diabetic medication , stop taking them , since the doctor said its not required any more. So my business’Fitness and massage by Marianna ” provides healing sessions , knowledgeable information about the food and supplements , anti aging consulting , pain release treatments.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I came from Moscow Russia about 25 years ago and opened a fitness club with my ex partner. I am NPC bikini master, trainer,licensed massage therapist, graduated from University of Humanity with bachelor of art in arts. I am also reiki master, I do energy work and body healing .
My passion to fitness , healthy lifestyle and helping others to achieve there goals , specifically after my mom death from cancer , I dedicated myself to help and educate others to prevent cancer and be healthy .
I get very happy to hear from my clients that they are off medication and my diet plan is working for them.
Right now I am preparing a supplement that will help men prevent prostate problems. And a supplement for women to balance hormones related issues. I also offer cleansing and immune system support shakes and supplements.
Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
We had a great partner that believed in the business and landed us money . When I started from scratch I had no credit history base . Since I just came to this country and opened a business with a help of a partner .
Usually you can get a loan from a bank but when you are new you don’t have any credit history so you need to prove you are liable . So having a great friend was very supportive.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
The best source of new clients is instagram and facebook and word of mouth always . Advertising, customer service is the key to your success.
