ABOUT ME
Don't know where to start on your fitness journey? Suffer from chronic pain, illness, or injury? Eat 3 avocados a day and run 20 miles a week, and don't understand why you're not seeing results? I hear you. I see you. I've been there.
I'm Marissa. I'm a lawyer turned yoga instructor and personal trainer. I have suffered from chronic illness my entire life, and I believe that movement and exercise is a way to reclaim your physical power.
With a decade of experience in the fitness and wellness industry, I create individualized fitness and wellness programs for my clients, and I reject a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe that physical movement and mindfulness is a way to shift your energy, clear your mind, and step into your power so you can claim (and reclaim) who you truly are.
I love and have specialized training working with underserved communities - especially older adults, persons in treatment for or in recovery from cancer, and persons with physical and/or intellectual disabilities - using mindfulness and movement to help people feel empowered in their lives and perform the activities of daily living with more ease.
In addition to offering group classes, I provide personal training, small group training, and private yoga and Reiki virtually in the comfort of your home. Want to learn more? Ready to get started? Let's chat.
