I recently had the pleasure of working with Marisa as my career coach, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her guidance. From our initial meeting, it was evident that Marisa possesses a unique combination of qualities that make her an exceptional career coach.

Marisa's inquisitive nature stood out immediately. She took the time to delve into the depths of my professional journey, asking insightful questions that encouraged me to reflect on my goals and aspirations. This thorough understanding laid a solid foundation for our sessions, allowing us to tailor our discussions to my specific needs.

What sets Marisa apart is her engaging demeanor. Career coaching can be a daunting process, but Marisa's warmth and enthusiasm made each session enjoyable and motivating. Her ability to foster a comfortable and open environment allowed me to discuss challenging topics with ease, fostering a positive and productive coaching relationship.

I also really valued all the additional resources Marisa recommended! I highly recommend you work with Marisa - she provides a great service and I would 100% see her in the future.

Marisa is a kind and empathic coach. What makes her coaching effective to me is her ability to hold silence and prompt the right questions to direct my awareness to where it needed to be. I also find her reflective forms valuable in helping me deepen what I have learned in the session. I have great outcomes walking away from our coaching process and truly enjoyed my time being coached by Marisa.

Working with Marisa has helped me navigate a rough transition in my life. I have no doubt that her coaching has had a very positive impact on the way I have approached personal challenges and uncertainties over the past few months. Above all, I value Marisa's professionalism, empathy, responsiveness and her ability to turn my confusion into coherent and clear ideas and actionable objectives. She creates a safe and positive environment that allows for an honest and solid collaboration, and it's been that way since our first meeting. Thanks to Marisa's approach, I have seen great improvement in my ability to deal with certain emotions and situations where I have struggled in the past.

As I navigated a lot of doubt regarding my career and present/future plans, Marisa's ability to point out and encourage me to explore the areas where I was most confident was powerful. Having that confidence reflected back to me gave me a lot of courage to proceed fearlessly and illuminated a path forward. She identified areas where some homework between sessions might help me, and provided the tools and exercises to explore so that we could discuss in the following session. I'm grateful for our sessions together!

Having Marisa as a coach was one of the most impactful experiences I didn't know I needed at what was the most perfect time in my life. I was in a position of ambiguity and she helped me find what worked best for me to navigate through that season. Marisa gave me space to express my brutal, honest feelings and made me feel safe enough to explore the scary parts of growth. Marisa is patient, kind, and seeks opportunities to encourage her client to dive deeper (at their comfort level). Thank you Marisa for meeting me where I was and bringing me into a new level of self.

Marisa’s style is highly professional but also highly empathetic and insightful. Her strengths are her insight, active listening and her boldness. Marisa is comfortable sharing her impressions/senses of the situation, which are nearly always right on the money! Marisa is also very supportive. We focused on a number of areas and she really helped me to figure out next steps and actions in developing my professional goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Marisa as a coach.

-Steve

Marisa is so intuitive, dynamic and responsive. She really helped me hone in on specific areas of my work/life balance in order to create more sustainability and prevent burnout. She is motivating, supportive and holds accountability-- a unique combination that was very helpful for me to start to see changes right away.

-Heather

Marisa is thoughtful and insightful, and she was never afraid to ask me challenging questions to get me to think more deeply.
Maybe it’s her background in family therapy that gives her such a keen insight, but whatever it is, she really does bring warmth, wisdom and honesty to her coaching.

I was 60 and stuck! Stuck in a mindset of guilt from a much younger self. Marisa has provided a safe space for me to forgive myself, like myself and be true to a much-wiser self! Her compassion and wit made me feel comfortable from the start, like I’d known her for years. Her thought-provoking questions and heartfelt feedback have helped me tremendously!

I am learning to live my life with new purpose and to appreciate all the love that surrounds me every day! Thanks, Marisa, for helping me on this journey!

-Marie

Marisa comes to this work with ease, grace and an intuition that guides her facilitation. In working with her, I was able to identify some of the root causes of what was blocking my ability to fully imagine my next steps. While I didn't imagine that our time together would lead me to work on some deeper healing, I am grateful to be exploring what that means and how it might lead me to more career expansion.
It's a gift to have had such a talented coach help me envision a promising future.

I had a wonderful experience working with Marisa. She has a welcoming and grounding energy that made me feel supported and safe. Marisa’s use of exploratory, reflective questions helped solidify my values, priorities, and interests in relation to my personal and professional goals.
She helped contain and organize my thoughts and concerns/questions in a way that helped me feel less overwhelmed and stuck.
I greatly benefited from her coaching in many aspects of my life. She made me feel empowered and less alone in my field of work.
