I AM MARISA.

I am here to bridge the spiritual with the human and I truly believe that enlightenment means to ‘lighten up.’ The human journey is not to be escaped, rather taken with more capacity for feeling alive and present for all the scenes of the movie of our life.

I am a lover of life, of tasting all the pleasures of our humanity, of feeling all the emotions so as to not miss a moment. I believe that by connecting to our full spectrum selves we give permission to enJOY life and become the magnetic powerful pleasure-filled beings that will heal this world. 

a 300hr RYT Yoga, Meditation and Movement Teacher, Reiki Master, Shamanic Practitioner, Alignment Coach & Subliminals creator.

I spent the majority of my younger adult life striving, overachieving, proving and creating to the point where I crumbled into extreme anxiety and burn out. While I had achieved success in many ways I was broken and exhausted. My own winding 3 year mental, physical and emotional healing journey awakened my intuitive channelling abilities and now I help women heal and step into their divine feminine nature. 

I create a bridge between the spiritual and the human for women to clear core lineage blockages and trauma (big or small), so they easily receive abundant JOY, PLEASURE, and TRUST in their real lives. My greatest gift is to hold deep, unconditionally loving space for those who are ready to awaken their pleasure, power and passion and create a deep sense of trust in themselves and the universe.  One should not go through the twists and turns of healing alone. 

I guide my clients to heal and clear the core wounds keeping them from the full radiance and abundance that is every woman’s birthright.

I believe it is all of our divine rite to

live fully alive & then share it with others.

WE DON’T NEED ‘FIXING’

We need guidance to reconnect to our innate perfection and this should not be a road walked alone.

I DO NOT ‘HEAL’ YOU

I am a channel that allows divine energy and guidance to support your personal intention no matter where you are physically, emotionally and spiritually.

I help empower you to remember and connect to your true nature removing blocks and pain from this and any other lifetime so you live radiantly ALIVE in your physical reality!

  • "We do not get in life what we WANT, we get in life who we ARE. What needs to die within you right now, so who you are becoming is fully ALIVE?"

did you know I’m also a Sommelier!?

With 20 years passionately exploring, studying and immersing myself in the world of food and wine I created The Mindful Vine : A Journey of The Senses Tasting Experience to immerse people into the pleasure of presence through sight, smell, taste and each other around the table.
