Marissa is a tremendously skillful Pilates Instructor, Yoga Teacher, and Bodyworker. Her technical knowledge of postural alignment, balance, and the most effective ways to develop strength and flexibility are outstanding. Just as importantly, she provides an excellent blend of challenge and support in the way that she works with you - making sure all the exercises are a good fit. In my sessions with her, I've always felt pushed to my physical and mental edge, but at the same time tremendously nourished by the balance and sensitivity she brings to this work. Highly recommended. read more

Marissa is amazing! I've had many private sessions with her on the Pilates Reformer machine, and they were incredible. She really listened to my needs and took the time to figure out the best sequence for me. My sessions with her helped me significantly with posture, holding patterns, and misaligned postural habits. Because of my sessions with her, my pain and discomfort subsided significantly, and my range of motion increased. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and engaging. I would highly recommend her. read more
