What clients are saying...

​"My life has changed so much since working with Marissa. I joined her 90-Day Weight loss Intensive Program and I received so much more! My life and my health transformed, weight finally began to move and I still got to eat my favorite foods! Starting a family was a huge part of why I wanted to lose weight. I got healthier, happier, and pregnant just months after working with Marissa. I am so grateful to have invested in myself and proud of myself because this experience changed my life forever!  My son is a visual reminder of how investing in Marissa as my coach brought me joy, health, and happiness. My husband and I are connecting more and I know this choice was the best decision I ever made for my health, my family, and my future.​ I highly recommend Marissa to anyone who is looking for healthy weight loss and health goals. You will thank yourself for the gift you gave yourself, forever."

"Marissa and I have been working together since last year. She has helped me achieve new levels of being authentic and becoming my truest self. I am extremely thankful for how she deeply cares for me, listens to me, but also helps me to celebrate the small wins. ​She has helped me reflect and reconnect with my husband and I couldn’t be more thankful! I highly recommend Marissa to anyone who needs a life coach and a cheer leader in your corner."

"I started coaching with Marissa about 4 months ago. I was curious about quitting smoking and reached out to her. I can’t say enough about the support I received from Marissa. Not only was she able to provide some concrete tools to prepare for quitting, she most importantly offered a space where I could be heard without judgement. The intense shame I have carried about smoking was alleviated by being heard. Working with Marissa has empowered me to take the first steps to being smoke free! I actually hear her voice in my head when I have a craving! Marissa is a coach that truly believes in my success. She is a coach that truly cares about my journey....with so much love, compassion and non judgement."

​"Working with Marissa has allowed me to explore my core values, establish healthy boundaries and interact with my emotions in a remarkable way.  Marissa’s unique coaching style provided the opportunity for me to get some distance from my challenges and obtain a different  perspective. By gaining a different perspective, I could see solutions and opportunities that I hadn’t seen before.  In my experience, Marissa has proven to be a warm, dedicated and confident coach who respects the process of change. She has a keen sense of when I’m capable of speeding up, when I may want to slow down and when it’s time to pause and reflect."
