Marissa is a wife, mama to two little adventurers, a foodie, an athlete, and a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). She is passionate about helping individuals manage stress and find their balance through food, education, lifestyle shifts, and movement.

Ultimately, Marissa would love to change the narrative around motherhood from being exhausting, soul-sucking, riddled with anxiety and depression to motherhood full of energy and more joy despite all the odds stacked "against" her by fueling her body to meet the demands expected of her and optimizing her body's function to thrive.

Marissa became a certified FNTP in 2017 while working a stressful, high demanding job as a CPA. She also utilizes hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) and blood chemistry, including understanding how mama's blood changes throughout pregnancy and postpartum, to further provide individualized support for her clients.
