"...creating a safe space to be so open and real."
- Chantal Carerre
"I originally came in for an acupuncture treatment with Karen Adams (who was very skilled, gentle, honest, and helpful during my first treatment) and was referred to Marissa for a massage. As it turned out, her brand of massage is EXACTLY what I have been searching for over the past few years. Touch therapy. Not only is she a good physical masseuse, she is also professional and remarkably skilled in energy healing. I have returned for weekly massages since our first session a few months ago.
What I particularly enjoy about my sessions with Marissa is that she works closely with Spirit and seems to have mastered the ability to step out of her ego while she works. She is also quite informative and is always quick to let you know what is happening while she is working on you. I think she is perfect for people who are completely new to energy work (she's gentle and informative) and quite divine for people who are already well-versed in it (she works on all levels of the field and is not bound by time). She's amazing! I plan to continue working with her for as long as I can ^^ And to top it all, Marissa is friendly! Money well spent, with or without insurance. Final Grade: A++" |
"Marissa is a true gem, with genuine healing powers. I first came to Marissa for an IBD issue which I was only treating with medication. Due to her intuitive nature of where the body is holding the most stress and inflammation, she was able to help the issue to the point where I hardly ever need my daily medication. I work with her weekly and she has helped me through other issues including back pain and extreme stress tension. She also applies breathing techniques during the session, which I also use at home to maintain calmness. Overall, I can honestly say that my body and mind would be a mess without Marissa!"

"Marissa is a very gifted and intuitive massage therapist. She combines many modalities into an experience that is healing both on a physical and spiritual level. She is a very empathetic therapist and is able to very quickly perceive what the client's issues are and address them in ways that make a difference right away. Marissa was able to guide me through the massage to address what was causing the pain and tension and it was a very powerful experience. I felt rejuvenated both physically and energetically. She is very committed to her work and gives it her 100%. Look no further and pay Marissa a visit to get your aches out!"

"Marissa is gifted in a way that is transformational.
She is knowledgable, experienced and a complete professional. In her presence she is calming, reassuring, patient. She has been so helpful in getting the emotional toxicity out of me. I have had 3 spinal surgeries and heart surgery. I was skeptical, I was guarded . I was completely and totally stressed until she placed her had on my uppper back and I felt safe. She talked with me. She asked questions about my surgeries and how I was doing. The body work she did on me in one session actually helped me regain feeling in my right leg. I am a christian so when she mentioned Energy Balancing I was very guarded she reassured me and explained what it was. She respected me and my beliefs and suggested to me to even pray out loud which granted was at first awkward but there was a release and a shift in my energy in that first session that set me free from worry. I attribute that to God and Marissa. creating a safe space to be so open and real. I have never had a massage that helped me feel better emotionally and physically. You should book with her your body will thank you." |
"I've been seeing Marissa for some time now and she is awesome! I've had two back operations, a spinal fusion and laminectomy and do not trust anyone to massage my back, until I met Marissa. She listens, she's intuitive and has come to understand my body. My acupuncturist, knowing my concerns, recommended her and finally I gave in. Thank goodness. The moment I met Marissa, I felt at ease. There is such a calming, kindness that she exudes. My sessions combine massage therapy and energy balancing. This has helped my back pain, stiffness and sciatic issues tremendously. The balancing has helped me get in tune with my body as a whole. She is a healer. I can't recommend her enough. Just give it a try, your body will thank you!"

"Marissa has been my massage therapist for the last two years and she is incredible. I have a chronic pain condition and she is the only massage therapist I have ever had (and I have had a lot) that has helped my pain. As the nature of my pain is always changing, she has a way of sensing where the pain is on a given day and what kind of healing I need, whether it be more physical or more mental. She is also just the sweetest person and so kind and caring. I would recommend her to anyone!"

For the last 6 years (since 2010) Marissa has kept my body intact with her knowledge and intuition that flows from her hands. She is kind, thoughtful, caring, and professional. I always leave feeling restored. The fact that I continue book appointments with Marissa speaks volumes. Marissa is one of a kind!
