Mission-aligned communications & capacity-building with Marna Fujimoto-Pihl
About Marna
Hi, I'm Marna ~ a mission-driven communications professional, capacity-builder, and transformational coach. I help individuals and organizations connect to their values, strengths, vision, and purpose—and take empowered action toward meaningful contribution.
I founded The Being Place to support heart-led professionals in achieving greater clarity, agency, fulfillment, and impact. My work has included coaching, emotional resilience circles, masterminds, and workshops. I’m also a co-author of Permission Slips for claiming our emotions.
I’m passionate about building momentum for ideas, people, and projects that contribute to a more compassionate, just, fair, and sustainable world.
I’m currently transitioning into nonprofit work. While I’m not offering coaching at this time, I continue to share insights and support personal & professional growth in meaningful ways.
