About
As a lifelong dancer Marissa has sampled a variety of body conditioning methods. Recovering from a dance related hip surgery in 2012 she discovered GYROTONIC® exercise and with it a new, more nurturing approach to physical training. She feels that Gyrotonic is the most comprehensive training system available and most supportive to the body in it’s natural, harmonious movement pathways. She is passionately curious about anatomy and body mechanics and strives for an empathetic training approach. The ups and downs of working with the body over a long dance career has given her a unique and sensitive understanding of how deeply connected our physical and emotional selves are. Her fitness philosophy is that exercise is a communion with one’s self, a ritual of adoration for our most prized possession, our primary home, our body. She believes that as our lifelong homes, our bodies' deserve the highest level of respect and care.
Client feedback: Marissa brings “…a sophisticated knowledge of functional anatomy... with a compassionate attentiveness to students' comfort. Marissa is both encouraging and precise in her instruction.” -Mindy LSW/hypnotherapist
