1:1 Customized Coaching Plans
Welcome to a 1:1 Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching Program designed specifically for YOU. Ready to stop the guesswork and figure out what is actually going on in your body? Let’s address the root cause to bring you real change and lasting relief.
My one on one coaching program is designed for the person looking for hands on support now. Throughout our time together, we take the guesswork out of your symptoms by addressing the root cause of your imbalances and ailments. I hold your hand every step of the way while teaching you how to eat for your unique body type and how to incorporate daily rituals that rejuvenate your energy and spirit.
Does this sound like you?
You’re on a never ending roller coaster of “good weeks” and “bad weeks” when it comes to your diet and workouts
Your mind constantly races with anxious thoughts
You struggle with digestive issues like bloating, gas, constipation or IBS
Brain fog gets in the way of completing daily tasks and feeling present
If you’re nodding your head yes, you may also...
Feel burned out and exhausted even when you get to bed early
Experience painful menstrual cycles or want to transition smoothly into perimenopause
Be carrying around sluggishness and extra weight from stress
step 1:
build healthy routines
Structure regulates your nervous system and allows your body to thrive. I'll teach you how to create healthy routines and incorporate time-tested nourishing practices into your busy schedule. This will optimize digestion and lymphatic circulation, enhance energy and mental clarity, reduce stress and anxiety, and create a rejuvenating night's sleep–every night
step 2:
learn what your body seeks
We’ll look at your unique body, identify current imbalances, and examine your eating patterns to understand what your body is craving. How you eat is just as important as what you eat. You’ll learn how to optimize your food choices and create habits that support strong digestion. Ultimately, you'll create harmony in the body.
step 3:
heal with herbs
Plants are our original form of medicine. I will teach you how to incorporate healing herbs as needed to improve digestion, break up stagnation, strengthen the immune system, increase circulation, and restore balance.

Regardless of how I honored my cravings I could feel my 40 year old body needed some nutrition it wasn’t getting. I was so damn tired and my hormones felt out of control.
On my first call with Marissa, I knew she was my guide. Her grounded and soulful energy (plus her expansive education) has been the reason I feel healthier than I ever have! If you’re committed to an anti-diet lifestyle, sense your body needs more nutrition, want to balance your hormones, have (truly) sustained energy, and want a soul sister to be by your side every step of the way – run, don’t walk, to work with Marissa.

This past year, I had gained a lot of weight in a short period of time, and just couldn’t shake it. My blood pressure and cholesterol were too high and my doctor wanted me to go on medication. My legs and ankles were swelling, I was dealing with fatigue in the afternoons and insomnia at night, and I had body odor for the first time in my life. Within a week of following Marissa’s recommendations, I began to feel significantly better in my body. A few months later, I went back to the doctor to retest. My cholesterol and blood pressure were back to normal. My energy is better, I’m able to fall asleep, and I no longer rely on coffee to get through the afternoons. This has been such a great experience that I’ve committed to implementing Ayurvedic practices in my daily life indefinitely. I couldn’t recommend Marissa more!

I was feeling blah. My skin was dry, my hair was dull, and my energy was low. I knew there were natural ways to improve my health but I didn’t know where to start (and yes, I googled it all!). My goal was to improve from the inside out naturally… enter Marissa. I was a little nervous to meet with an ayurvedic practitioner because I’m vegan and I thought that there were typically heavy uses of butter and ghee in Ayurveda. Marissa reassured me that Ayurveda is about the individual and what I need specifically.
After my time with Marissa, I have clear, simple action steps to improve my skin, hair, and energy levels. Marissa helped me understand what my body needs to function at a higher level, everything from a routine to topical treatments to self-care practices to supporting different organs that need a little love. I feel empowered to take control of my health through natural means. I 100% recommend Marissa to anyone who wants to feel more confident in their skin and all around better in their health by healing from the inside out. Her curiosity and wealth of knowledge will help you get to the root of your health questions.

My sudden body changes began 6 months after the pandemic started. I am a single mom working two jobs. Busy to say the least, not feeling well, and struggling to get through the day. I didn’t know what else to do, who to go to for help. I felt that it would be really difficult to implement any restrictive diets or treatments into my already extremely busy life.
When I started working with Marissa, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to make changes in my routine. However, Marissa dedicated an extensive amount of time to ask me specific questions regarding my health, feelings, needs, goals, and expectations. She really listened. The first major change I noticed was that my rashes were gone! My sleeping patterns changed. I can officially say that I can sleep 8 hours with no interruptions, and wake up with energy. My hair loss decreased significantly, and abdominal pains decreased as well.
Marissa really cares about her clients. She would check on me and follow up to see if there was a need to reassess the plan and if we needed to make any changes. Her approach is holistic, caring, and proactive. When I fell off the wagon, she was empathetic and gave me the tools to get back on it. She has been coaching me to be kinder to myself. That made a huge difference in how I approached my treatment.
If you are seeking to improve your overall health and the way you feel about your body and yourself with a natural, mindful, and caring approach, Marissa is the person.

Since working with Marissa, I have been mindful of not just what I'm eating, but how I'm eating it. Her specific insights about food mixing, as well as the attention paid to my meals has impacted how I eat and when I eat. I feel like that has had a positive impact on my digestion, and also generally my relationship with food. I look forward to eating, rather than treating it as a chore, or purely as an indulgence. When my digestion is better, my bowel movements are better. The older I get, the more I pay attention to BMs! If you're reading this, that's probably not TMI for you, A little attention (and a lot of greens) go a long way. She also has a lot of information about inflammation and inflammatory/anti-inflammatory foods which was great context for me, someone with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Inflammation is my enemy (like many others) and thinking about ways to key into my nutrition has definitely helped manage my conditions. My skin is clearer now than it has been in years, and my arthritis hasn't been worsening, which is a win for any chronic condition.
In my conversations with Marissa, I enjoyed her straightforward style, as well as her keen listening skills. In most medical or health-related environments, I constantly feel like I'm not heard or listened to and that is not the case with Marissa. She let me share, and prodded for real information and my real experience rather than rushing to conclusions or strategies without considering the whole picture.
