Dr.Maryna Yudina

Hi Dr. Yudina, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am the founder of the Pacific Neurocenter Inc. based in Santa Monica, CA. I have a degree in awesomeness + I am a Doctor of Medicine and Neuroscientist.

I’ve been working in the healthcare field for over 20 years. I received my MD from Odessa National Medical University, one of the leading medical universities in Ukraine. As an M.D. in Ukraine, I worked as a physician and chief of staff in a different clinics and hospitals. My passion have always been helping people.

I moved from Odessa, Ukraine to Alaska and work in a different medical facilities and fields but not as a doctor, more in admin-leading positions- Infection Control officer, Risk Manager, Quality improvement director, etc.. It was a difficult time not only professionally but also on a personal level- very cold climat in Alaska, 90 days of darkness, small isolated community, but I kept my “eyes on a price” and never gave up.

While in Alaska I”ve done a lot of researches and study a lot, found a Neuromodulation field.

I transitioned into neurofeedback after seeing the transformative effect it had on my clients suffering from PTSD, ADHD, depression, etc. The natural quality of the program using the body’s own signals to cue its behavior and encourage self-regulation.

I moved to Santa Monica, CA with two suitcases and no job, friends or family in CA but I was very enthusiastic to open my own business. I started my neurofeedback clinical career as a volunteer in a military hospital with severe PTSD cases, and as a clinician at EEG Institute in California, slowly progressing towards private practice. The majority of my initial experience has been derived from clinical cases. I founded Pacific Neurocenter in 2015. I found my home, finally! I’m a community person and it’s a privilege for me to serve this community in and around Santa Monica. I want to contribute as much as possible to help people.

After many years of experience – I progressed towards managerial performance and peak performance in general, working with highly successful and motivated people. In 2022, I created a new brand as a “Queen Of Success.” My Queen of Success attitude is entirely built on the success of my clients.

I always explore different avenues in life and creativity. Resently I started my new project as an “Queen of Success” VR YouTube channel.

VR as an art medium offers an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic conversations with truly successful individuals. These are not quick ‘flip and burn’ schemes but stories of individuals who have worked tirelessly to achieve both moral and financial success, big or small. These are the unsung heroes of our society who shy away from the social media spotlight and are often overlooked by mass media’s definition of success.

In these VR experiences, you will have the unique chance to witness, understand, and truly connect with what it means to be genuinely successful. Through intimate interviews, you’ll see firsthand how real successful people look, talk, and behave in their everyday lives. Our aim is to present a diverse range of success stories that resonate with the true essence of achievement.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It wasn’t a smooth road for sure. Leaving in Alaska it was tough, moving to CA was a difficult decision as well. I had a very good, well payed job in the Alaska hospital but I wasn’t happy professionally and personally. As soon as I moved to Santa Monica I felt no fears only a burst of energy to move forward to my dream. I was able to open my solo business and get a business licence for $1 as a new business owner. I was and still so gratefull for the state of CA and city of SM to make it easy. My dream come true! I became and I am still a member of Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce – good help for small business owners.

And of course a lot of effort from me, my support team – my son who is my biggest supporter, my friends and colleagues from the USA, Ukraine, Europe and work 7/7 days a week at the begining of my private business.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Pacific Neurocenter Inc.?
What sets me and my team apart from others is our integration of cutting-edge technologies, specifically neuromodulation techniques, into our peak performance psychology services. Recently I’ve been exploring the potential of VR brain training. While many providers focus solely on traditional coaching or psychological interventions, we go the extra mile by leveraging advanced neurostimulation tools to optimize brain function. This innovative approach allows us to provide personalized and highly effective solutions tailored to each individual’s unique needs.

By combining neurofeedback with VR, users can develop better emotional control and emotional resilience. They can also gain greater insight into their cognitive functioning, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns. This can help enhance mindfulness and improve overall mental health.

We take great pride in our track record of helping individuals achieve exceptional results and surpass their goals. Our focus on results-driven outcomes, combined with our integrated approach, sets us apart as a leader in the field of peak performance psychology.
