About Marissa

I believe each of us are always on a healing journey, whether we're conscious of it or not. Our experiences are teachers, meant to shine light on parts of ourselves we've forgotten. 

​

I used to believe all of our suffering was because we were identified with our thoughts and letting the mind run the show. If we could learn to change our mental patterns, we would be free. But that's actually only one part of it.

​

We are multidimensional beings and for true healing, true transformation to take place, we must work on all 5 levels of our being: mental, physical, emotional, will/behavioral and spiritual.

 

As human beings, we tend to search externally for fulfillment, for the answer to our deepest longing. The answers, of course, are within us. But because of all the different layers of conditioning we've picked up, accessing our core, our higher self, our knowing, is not necessarily a simple task. This is the work of Core Energetics: to help shed light on not only our unwanted patterns and conditioning, but our identification with them. And, over time, remember who we really are and learn to live life true to our essence. 

​

I am here to hold space for all parts of you with total understanding and compassion. I welcome your primal emotions - the ones that often have no place in our every day life - grief, rage, despair, fear. I am walking this path with you.​

​

I am an Associate Core Energetics Practitioner. I graduated from the Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy in 2023 and seeing 1:1 clients in Seattle and virtually.

 

Outside of my passion for this work, you can find me outside with my dog, spending time connecting to Mama Earth.​​

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
