Testimonials
People usually come to me feeling stuck somewhere: in their body, in their reactions, in a version of themselves they've been avoiding a closer look at or not longer recognize. Here's what some of them have said about what changed...
Lina recorded this right after her 8th session with me, talking through friendships, needs, belonging, and what it's been like to listen to her body's intelligence again. Listen to what she's walking away with:
"Although we live in a society obsessed with physical looks and staying young, I think most of us tend to avoid looking into a mirror and into ourselves. The sessions with Marissa gave me the support and space to do just that—really look inside myself with kindness, curiosity and love.
I would recommend Marissa to those who are wanting to look into the mirror, and to those who are avoiding doing so, because no matter how you are feeling, Marissa can help you see yourself more clearly."

"Working with Marissa over the past few months has been a supportive and meaningful experience. She is a patient, intuitive, and understanding coach who holds space in a grounded and present way. Her embodiment-based approach deepened my self-awareness, and she gently supported me in staying engaged even when the work felt challenging at times. She offered practical tools and practices that fostered reflection, mindfulness, and forward movement. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to deepen their mind-body awareness and create intentional change."

"Working with Marissa helped me move through a big block at an important time in my life. As an expat living in Mexico and starting my business, I had been stuck for a long time and didn’t fully realize how much my nervous system was shaping my ability to move forward. Marissa's coaching helped me understand what was happening in my body, not just in my mind, and that created a real shift. I felt more excited to work on my business, more calm, and better able to take action in a way that feels sustainable for me long term. This work felt like a missing piece for me because it gave me practical tools I can keep using when resistance comes up again. I would absolutely recommend Marissa to anyone who feels stuck and wants support in creating real movement and change."

"Marissa helped me with stress around always wanting to be on time or even early. I didn’t always notice this stress myself, but people around me did. She helped me become more aware of how my body reacts in these moments and gave me simple tools to practice during the day. It was really wonderful how she could help me in such a short time, just by asking the right questions and gently guiding me to look within myself, which gave me insight into some of my own deeper drivers. I can better recognize the signals my body gives me when it comes to time stress, consciously relax in those moments, and as a result feel more at ease."

"Marissa is a lovely, kind and compassionate person. I felt heard and understood during our sessions. She would notice gestures I would make or certain phrases I would say that would often lead to some new discovery. She offered new practices to introduce into my daily life without pushing me to be too far out of my comfort zone."
