What Clients Are Saying
Christopher (Content Creator)
As someone with an undiagnosed neurodiverse mental and emotional palette, feeling safe to open up and go deep in a coaching or therapy session means everything to me. It’s a “make it or break it” aspect of the entire self-development experience and completely dictates how deep I feel comfortable going in the work. Marissa creates an unparalleled sense of safety in her sessions, the likes of which I have never encountered before. In her sessions, I frequently feel as though I am being seen for who I am for the first time ever. This sense of safety has allowed me to explore and express myself in ways that were previously unavailable to me.
When I first began working with Marissa, I was enmeshed in a business and personal relationship that was not serving my highest good. Within 2 weeks of working together, I rediscovered the power inside of my heart and soul that allowed me to break free of this unhealthy partnership and form my own business. This created a domino effect of door after door opening for me. Fulfilling business opportunities with people that value my gifts, incredible housing opportunities in exotic locations, and synchronistic events that can only be described as magical became commonplace while working with Marissa.
The level of personal service Marissa provides is unmatched. The presence, connection, and insight she provides in her sessions is something that only someone who has been there, done that, then done the work on herself can provide. Marissa doesn’t regurgitate something learned in a book, but instead draws upon a wealth of firsthand experience and knowledge in dealing with trauma to shine a light that guides you toward answers that come from a deeply spiritual place.
Throughout my work with Marissa, I witnessed my connection to the spirit world deepen and mature. My connection to my higher self, the Universe, my guides, angels, plants, animals, and the earth itself unlocked and opened wider than I ever thought possible. I am forever grateful for the consistency, safety, connection, and guidance her work continues to provide.

“I feel so grateful for you sharing your gifts with me - and I know some of your gifts are modalities you have learned and come from time you’ve spent researching the human body, the human spirit, and the human mind. But I think a huge part of it is your deep intuition that is somehow connected to Source. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
I feel in-my-body really for the first time all day. And, I’ve checked my to-do list off for the day, but, I was feeling ill at ease and I don’t even think I could have articulated that I felt disconnected. But now I feel like I’ve been deposited back in my body, clicked back into place, energetically-chiropractically realigned, and my breathing has slowed, my heart rate is slower, my shoulders don’t hurt as much - and that’s such a gift!”
Alice (Dance Educator)
“I had four sessions with Marissa and it was amazing! Through my sessions with Marissa I was able to delve deeper into myself. I learned about being more present in my body and being self-compassionate especially in moments of deep insecurity and pain.
Marissa's energy is beautiful - she exudes warmth and empathy in a way that immediately puts you at ease.
I highly recommend working with her, especially if you are desiring to create more self compassion, strength, and clarity in your life!”
Alex (Actress, Coach, Educator)
“Marissa is a magical human being, and she helps others unlock their own personal magic. She is nurturing and comforting as she works with you to uncover your blocks and explore your artistry. I always leave working with Marissa feeling more grounded, open, and creatively fulfilled.”
Roksana (Vocalist, Pianist, Composer)
“I felt very welcomed, taken care of, and like I could settle. I was in a very safe, very soothing space. Before the actual energetic work even begins I feel you have to be in a space where you feel safe and comfortable as simple as that and Marissa definitely made me feel both of those things: safe and comfortable. Which I think is so important to do any kind of emotional, energetic work - if you’re not in a safe place, it doesn’t work, you know?”
It is different working with you, Marissa, because you are such a high level person. Your intuition is at a very high level, your intelligence is at a very high level. So I feel like you catch very quickly what’s going on with a person, and what they need. You never rush me, you never push me in directions you think I should go, and you don’t have an agenda. I think that’s what I mean by advanced. I think that people who are very secure in what they are doing - I don’t think they have the need to assign their own signature on something. You let things be really open and then things just flow working with you. And that’s what’s different about working with you. You’re very smart, and you’re very articulate and I find that really satisfying - to really help me understand the nuts and bolts of what’s going on. And then you’re also really gentle, which I think is really important. Because I think sometimes people who are really intelligent can be really forceful with their intelligence and you don’t let that happen. You have a way of staying soft, receptive, and gentle.
The work we’ve done together has really impacted me. Because we’ve known each other for a while now, I feel like I’ve moved through a lot of different phases in my work as a performer and I remember back in the day when you used to do more movement classes - I remember them being really exciting and really useful as an actor and to move in intuitive ways where you’re moving but it’s not a dance class or choreography class but really based upon intuition - and those were very specific, very useful to me as an actor - you should bring those back - intuitive movement.
In terms of my personal life I just always feel so much softer and more gentle when I leave. It makes me move through my personal life with more ease, connection, and harmony. I feel like we’re all running at like 120% these days, when we really should be running at 80% and let the other 20 come in…and so, after working with you I’m reminded to take better care of myself, to trust my instincts, to trust my intuition, to not overtax my nervous system, and to be nicer to myself which is so important. It sounds like such a simple thing but I’m better to myself after the work we do together, which is really valuable. I feel like I can take better care of myself in both my personal life and my professional life, which is so valuable.

“Just 1 meditation I've had with Marissa and many insightful conversations left me feeling spacious, seen, heard, and able to process my experiences as an artist/aspiring entrepreneur to better and new ways of being!.”
