1:1 Customized Coaching Plans
Because feeling your best shouldn’t feel like a mystery.
You eat well (most of the time), try to manage stress, maybe even take supplements or work out.
But something still feels off.
Your digestion is unpredictable, your energy dips are frustrating, and hormone shifts are starting to throw everything out of balance.
This isn’t about trying harder.
It’s about finally understanding what your body needs.
Whether you’re navigating period pain, perimenopausal symptoms, digestive issues, or low energy, I’m here to guide you with tools that are effective, nourishing, and built to support long-term relief.
Through personalized Ayurvedic nutrition and lifestyle coaching, I help you address the root cause of what’s going on—so you can heal from the inside out and feel like yourself again.
Does this sound like you?
You’re stuck in an exhausting cycle of “good” weeks and crash weeks
Your mind constantly races with anxious thoughts
You deal with gas, bloating, constipation, or gut issues that don’t go away
You feel mentally foggy, emotionally off, or struggle with sleep
If you’re nodding your head yes, you may also...
Experience periods are painful, irregular, or intense
Be moving through perimenopause and want real support
Want a sustainable and holistic approach—not a crash fix
step 1:
build nourishing routines
Structure calms the nervous system. I’ll help you build sustainable routines that support digestion, metabolism, hormonal balance, energy, and sleep—without adding stress or overwhelm.
step 2:
learn what your body seeks
Your body is always communicating. You just need the tools to understand what it’s saying. We’ll look at your unique constitution, current imbalances, daily routines and eating patterns to discover what your body is truly craving. You’ll learn how to eat and live in a way that feels nourishing and intuitive.
step 3:
heal with herbs
Plants are the original medicine, and when used correctly, they can be powerful allies in healing. I’ll guide you in using Ayurvedic herbs to address your specific imbalances naturally, so your body can do what it was designed to do: heal.

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.
