Hi, I’m Marissa.
I’m the founder of Hygieia Wellness & Coaching, and I believe meaningful change begins when we learn to care for the whole person. My own journey taught me how deeply connected our bodies, minds, habits and lives really are — and today, I’m grateful to help others discover that connection for themselves.

A Path to Healing, Learning and Purpose.
My own wellness journey began in 2010, when I found yoga and meditation during a time when I was struggling with anxiety, insecurity, and feeling disconnected from myself. What started as a way to feel better became something much deeper. Through movement, mindfulness, and learning to face the parts of myself I had spent years avoiding, I began to feel stronger, more grounded and more at home in my body — which reflected outwardly into my life.
That experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about the connection between the body, mind, and the way we live. I went on to study Kinesiology, deepen my education in yoga, fitness, nutrition, mental health, and holistic wellness, and spent years teaching and supporting others in their own growth. Along the way, one thing became increasingly clear to me: well-being isn’t about fixing one part of ourselves — it’s about caring for the whole person.
That belief ultimately became Hygieia Wellness & Coaching. I created this practice to offer the kind of support I believe meaningful change requires: knowledgeable guidance, genuine human connection, and a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported as you become stronger, healthier, and more fully yourself.


Why Hygieia?
Hygieia is inspired by the ancient Greek figure associated with health, well-being, and the preservation of health through intentional care. Her name is also the origin of the word hygiene, reflecting the idea that well-being is something we actively nurture and maintain.
I believe wellness isn’t found in one workout, one practice, or one area of life. It’s cultivated through the way we care for our bodies, the habits we build, the way we manage our energy, and the choices we make each day.
Through private yoga, personal training, and life coaching, I help clients create a more connected approach to their well-being — one that supports physical strength and mobility while also making space for greater balance, confidence, and intention in everyday life.
Hygieia represents that philosophy: wellness as an ongoing practice of caring for the whole person.
