Testimonials
Working with Vanessa is a dream! Not only is she super knowledgeable but she’s genuinely supportive and caring as well. I trust that she is giving me feedback based on me and my body individually and I’m so grateful to have found her!
Working with Marisa has been transformative. She provided personalized guidance and practical strategies that significantly improved my relationship with food. Marisa is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and supportive. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking positive, lasting changes in their health and well-being.
Vanessa has been the most dedicated coach to me from the very beginning. She has always been there to answer my questions with the most knowledgeable answers. I look forward to our check-ins every week. She has made nutrition and fitness easy!
I’ve been working with Marisa for 2.5 years and she has completely changed my life! I began working with her after I needed to gain weight (25 pounds) for my fertility. Marisa not only helped me lose body fat and get me to my dream body, but she did it in a way where my fertility not only remained but got even BETTER! I also worked with Marisa through my entire pregnancy. I had full peace of mind that we were doing pregnancy safe workouts that also helped me prepare for birth. After needing an emergency c-section, Marisa created a full plan and workouts to recovery from surgery and get my pre baby body back! I cannot recommend working with Marisa enough in all phases of life. She is very kind, thoughtful and incredibly supportive!
I've had the privilege of working with Vanessa for nearly three years, through various phases of my fitness journey. Her passion for her work is palpable and contagious – her energy and enthusiasm are always a source of inspiration.
I can't express enough gratitude for my incredible coach, Marisa, who has truly transformed my relationship with food and my overall well-being. With her guidance, I've learned to see food as fuel for my body, rather than something harmful or to be feared. Her balanced approach has helped me stop restricting carbs so heavily, leading to a more sustainable life.
Vanessa's approach is grounded in balance, and she's been an incredible support system, consistently encouraging and empowering me to reach new heights. I've achieved goals I never even thought I could set before working with her, and I've truly become the strongest, most confident version of myself under her guidance.
Marisa's support during my transition off birth control has been invaluable. She was there every step of the way, offering not just professional advice but also heartfelt encouragement and understanding.
If you're looking for a coach who combines knowledge with compassion, I wholeheartedly recommend her.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Vanessa to anyone who is tired of battling with bad body image or a negative relationship with food. If you want to get strong, feel good in your body, and have a coach who celebrates your wins every step of the way, Vanessa is the person to see.
In working with Marisa, I’ve really grown to enjoy lifting but I’m now able to rely on discipline on the days when I’m just not feeling it. My body image has also massively improved. Yes, I’m more fit than I was when I started and I still have a lot of work I want to do. However, I’m so much more confident in the body I have and see what it’s capable of. When you keep promises to yourself, your confidence will build up so much. Marisa is so kind, encouraging, and real with you. Big big thanks to Marisa for keeping me accountable and equipping me with the knowledge to change my life and continue to improve it.
Vanessa has been the most dedicated coach to me from the very beginning. She has always been there to answer my questions with the most knowledgeable answers. I look forward to our check-ins every week. She has made nutrition and fitness easy!

I originally signed up for 6 months of working with Marisa and ended up working with her for a year. I had learned about the approach she used behind nutrition and movement and I had learned enough about health and fitness to really believe this would be a healthy and sustainable way of going about my goals. And man that was the key word- SUSTAINABLE! Long term changes are not a quick fix. I’m almost a year out from when I ended working with her and I’m still going strong on my own towards my goals. More than the physical changes (I love seeing my muscle definition, their firmness, and seeing more body composition) are the mental changes that I’m even more happy about. First, I REALLY enjoy food and my view on it has shifted in the best way. I view it more as fuel than I ever have before but I also don’t feel guilty when I do want to enjoy pizza, wings, a burger. And I still eat those things on a relatively regular basis, I’m just so much more mindful about when and how much.
