MOVING YOUR HEALTH & LIFE FORWARD.

I’m a health and lifestyle coach and I specialize in working with people who are caught up in the whirlwind of busyness, find time to bring their life back into balance. Together we will find a way to create sustainable healthy habits & routines that work for you, so you can improve your well-being and overall quality of life, and most importantly have more energy to do what you love.

I use my 5 Pillar Whole Health Approach to help my clients look at their health from a 360’ view. Health is more than a few sweaty workouts and a salad for lunch. It’s likely high stress levels, sleepless nights, and trying to do it all, are big barriers to the success you want to see.

I’m a certified Personal Trainer (13+ years), Habit-based nutrition coach (Precision Nutrition), Executive Wellness Coach (ICF certified), and have oodles of real life experience working with clients who are tired of feeling tired, ready for change, and open to looking at things a bit differently….are you ready?

  • "She is organized, dependable, thoughtful, patient and clearly very skilled in her craft. I appreciate that she is able to design a program that is suitable for my abilities, challenging me but never pushing me beyond what I can safely do."

    Susan

  • "Working with Marisa has been like a slow but steady revolution. I needed to learn how to heal my relationship with food & meal prep, and I wanted to get healthier. And using her resourcefulness, versatility, and excellent coaching skills Marisa was able to get me on the right road. She teaches you how to use your own resources to reach your goals at a pace you can sustain. I was worried I wouldn't get a great workout, but I can feel the burn!"

    Rana

  • "I’ve been able to change my whole perception around food and making healthy balanced choices. Your add in habits are simple and easy to consider and implement. I’ve upped my overall daily steps, weekly workouts, amount of veggies I get daily, I feel more confident and was able to start doing things I love again in all different facets of my life. I’ve lost weight, I’m happier, I feel stronger, I feel less stressed and I have a better over all balance in my life again. Most importantly, I have started creating a positive relationship with food and am able to work through all the food guilt I was carrying around in my life."

    Jessica

  • "While I had been consistent with regular exercise, I was frustrated with my poor eating habits and looking for support. Marisa's approach is not prescriptive or restrictive. Implementing small changes and building on successes from week to week are some of the strategies that have made the biggest difference for me. Marisa's sensible guidance can give you tools to nourish yourself so you can do the things you want to do."

    Jill

  • "Marisa designs work out regimes that are customized on what my needs are in the moment but also focused on my fitness goals. So, if I’ve come off a long run, she adapts my training to account for tired legs or any specific problem areas I’m experiencing. Her enthusiasm and energy makes it fun and exciting and helps challenge me. Her holistic approach integrates strength training, cardio, yoga and nutrition. There’s nothing more motivating than reaching my goals and Marisa has been an integral part of my journey."

    Cindy

  • "My recent goals were to learn to use my condo gym equipment safely and properly in order to make this a regular addition to my exercise program. I now feel more fit, stronger, happier and equipped to take this on. I highly recommend Marisa, she is able to work with you on the goals that are important to you and make it fun at the same time!"

    Karen

  • "I’m so proud that all that my hard work might be helpful to other people! It’s a great testament to you – truly an appropriate vignette to use to introduce people to your highly effective and compassionate approach to personal training."

    Mary

  • "A friend and I did a 5 session pack with Marisa and we both loved it! The exercises were challenging but fun, varied, and tailored to our goals and abilities. Marisa was friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible with training times. Months later, I am still using a lot of the skills I learned from Marisa in my workouts."

    Amy

  • "I had never been able to do a squat as it hurt my knees too much. Through our training you got me to squat down low enough that I am able to read my putts when I golf. Even with this new found ability I still miss most of them."

    Casey

  • "Since I started working with Marisa I haven't had to go to my (previously) regularly needed chiro + physio appointments. The regular aches and pains that I had have gone away and I am enjoying life without the regular flare ups!"
