Pilates is a safe and effective system of movement that connects body and mind. It builds strength and flexibility from the inside out while developing greater awareness, coordination, balance, and healthy movement patterns.

In one-on-one sessions, Marissa provides attentive guidance tailored to each client’s individual body, goals, and needs. Pilates can support general health and well-being, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and athletic performance.

Sessions may incorporate Pilates apparatus, which uses spring-loaded resistance to provide both support and challenge. This adaptability makes equipment-based Pilates suitable for a wide range of bodies and abilities, including those recovering from injury or working to prevent one.

Matwork applies the same fundamental Pilates principles using body weight and props and can also provide clients with tools for continued practice at home.

Whether the goal is to build strength, improve mobility, restore balance, or simply feel more connected to the body, Pilates offers an adaptable and highly individualized approach to movement.

Sessions are 50–55 minutes.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy practice that can promote deep relaxation, stress reduction, and a greater sense of well-being. Marissa’s approach is grounded in the belief that greater awareness and connection can help release patterns of tension and support a more balanced flow of energy.

Reiki is not a religion and has no dogma. Marissa offers a down-to-earth, welcoming space for clients to explore their own experience of energy, awareness, and connection.

Sessions take place on a massage table, with Marissa’s hands placed gently on or just above the body. She often describes Reiki this way: “Energy flows where attention and intention go.” Her belief is that energy has its own intelligence and can move toward greater balance when given space to do so.

In one-on-one sessions, clients are invited to relax into a supportive environment and explore their own experience, with intuitive guidance from Marissa when appropriate.

Sessions are 50–55 minutes.

Intelligent mind-body training designed to support the unique demands of climbing.

As a climbing enthusiast herself, Marissa has long been interested in both the biomechanics and mental aspects of climbing. Developing balanced strength, joint stability, mobility, and body awareness can improve movement efficiency, support climbing performance, and help reduce the risk of injury.

Through individualized sessions using the Pilates Reformer and matwork, climbers can work to:

Build functional strength and a strong, responsive core

Improve mobility and flexibility

Develop joint stability

Enhance balance and coordination

Increase mind-body awareness

Improve breathing and movement efficiency

Support injury prevention and recovery

Climbing requires more than strength. It asks for coordination, awareness, adaptability, and the ability to bring mind and body together. Marissa is passionate about helping fellow climbers explore these connections, address individual goals and movement patterns, and find greater ease and confidence on and off the wall.

Sessions are 50–55 minutes.
