“Marissa was a super encouraging and motivating trainer. She works holistically by being open to discussing emotional and physical blocks to becoming a better version of yourself. I worked with Marissa as a personal trainer, life coach and did a private yoga lesson with her, and loved every session! If I wasn’t about to move out of the country, I would be continue to work with her weekly! Definitely book with Marissa if you are needing help getting to the gym, learning how to use the various- and often intimidating- machines & connecting to the deeper roots of why you might not be achieving the results you are desiring! Love love love Marissa. She is such a positive light amongst the gloom.”

“I started working with Marissa to mentor me in stepping into my own yoga teaching path. While we focused a lot of our time on yoga philosophy and business tactics, we also dove deep into my personal life. She helped me uncover limiting beliefs I had and provided me with many tools and resources to overcome those. While working with her in her very cute and comfortable office, she assisted me in finding my voice, boosting my confidence, and discovering my true desires. She also supported and shared with me how to start my own business and make my dreams my reality. I always felt welcomed with her passion to help and knowledge to share. She held me accountable and was there to check in and remind me of the work I needed to put in to see the results I wanted. I am very thankful to have worked with her and been given actionable steps to continue bettering myself even beyond our meeting times. Marissa exceeded my expectations with her dedication, effort, and authenticity she brought into each session.”

“I have participated in Marissa’s yoga classes, coaching sessions and yoga retreats and I just love her! Her energy is amazing. I always feel more aligned and at peace with myself and the universe. She always finds a way to add some special touch too…like bringing an altar to beach yoga or teaching us to make our own beauty products on the retreat. Always something magical and inspiring!'“

“My experience was so gentle, genuine and thoughtful, that I felt well cared for and listened to. Marissa is greatly passionate and kind about her guidance and reflections. Someone you WANT to work with and become vulnerable with. I overcame some emotionally turbulent times working with and talking with her. I'd highly recommend her for those seeking coaching, and if you can, also check out her yoga classes! Marissa is versatile in her approach to a healthy lifestyle. Worth it! 10/10”

“My work with Marissa started during a time in my life of great turmoil, massive change and upheaval -- large fluctuations of metaphoric death and rebirth. I needed a regular exercise practice that connected me deeply to my body. I was burned out from my life in tech and I needed help from a spiritual person also able to flex to analytics and scientific thinking: That's Marissa.
Marissa is able to connect the person I am to the practice I need. She has a keen insight into connecting my personal journey of life to my needs in yoga and occassional musings on life.
Marissa continues to be (I'm in my third ten pack of 1-1 lessons) an excellent guide for me to deepen my yoga experience.
Thank you, Marissa, for being my teacher in yoga and a contemporary for discussing the complexities of navigating the human experience.”
— John Jack
“Marissa is my favorite Yin Yoga teacher. She is present, mindful and tuned into the needs of her students. She also includes different sound and musical instrument layers to the class that deepens the relaxing experience. Thank you Marissa!”
