Dr. Marjorie Kinney, PhD
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST | HYPNOTHERAPIST | LECTURER | COACH
Born and raised in Wisconsin, USA, I bring a strong scientific background to my coaching practice, with a focus on behavioral psychotherapy during both my master's and doctoral training. This foundation allows me to seamlessly integrate the latest research into my coaching work.
​
Beyond coaching and lecturing, I'm passionate about Hypnobirthing, inspired by years of working in early parent-child attachment. I believe that by preparing parents for the best possible birth experience, we set the stage for a joyful start to both baby and parents' lives.
​
"To heal ourselves, we must unite magic with science." - Carly A. Hammerschlag, M.D.

Currently residing in Germany with my three wonderful children, I continue to pursue my dedication to helping others on their transformative journeys.
