“Working with Marissa has been one of the greatest gifts and most profound healing experiences I’ve had in the last decade of working tirelessly on my health. I’ve worked with countless healers & nutritionists, and never come across such a brilliant, helpful and compassionate health advocate like her. Not only is Marissa a master nutritionist, She’s also a phenomenal grounded mother and an expert at codependency healing. I have not embarked on motherhood yet, but when I do, I’m so grateful to have her as a main resource because she even offers a very unique effective lactation therapy that can assist any new mom or mom-to-be. I consider Marissa to be a one stop shop for extensive mental & physical health. Every time I speak to her she can turn overwhelming topics into bite-size digestible pieces literally and figuratively (LOL). It’s amazing how much of our gut health healing requires us to look at other aspects in our lives where we are not giving our bodies and our hearts what we need. Even though she’s an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge, she has a very gentle laser beam way of navigating her clients health to help them improve whatever areas they are needing.” -Whitney C.

“I approached Marissa after I had tried so many weight loss techniques, including mainly keto, paleo, and carnivore. I was doing a modified keto-carnivore and it felt like I would lose like 1/2 pound a week, then I'd lose motivation from the low progress, and I'd eat some cookies, gain 3 pounds, rinse and repeat. I started suspecting that I had some hormonal or gut damage that was causing me to lack balance; I remember thinking that this can't be this hard, plenty of people find ways to lose weight without going through such depletion. I needed answers, but I was afraid to approach just anyone because the nutrition space is filled with people who would just espouse ideas that don't work like fasting or avoiding all carbs. Specifically, I knew for sure that I'd only want to work with someone who understood the power of ruminant meat, and avoiding seed oils. Marissa seemed like the person who understood this, plus had answers that went beyond, so my motivation to figure out my issues helped me take a calculated gamble consulting with her. When I met with her, she had a deep understanding of what I was experiencing, and was able to provide a new eating pattern and style I never would have suspected was an option. She provided these advanced protocols that involved supplementation of things you just can't find organized on the internet strictly to heal the gut. Marissa was a great fit for me because she isn't a 'normie' nutritionist, or in other words, someone who follows mainstream medical and fitness knowledge. She is scientific, but challenges a lot of mainstream ideas. That said, I think that she fits really well if you're more of an open or intuitive personality type. Most importantly, I think she holds a lot of secrets in the Animal based diet space, and she integrates her vast scientific knowledge with this, which is quite powerful. On top of this, Marissa's methods also came from her healing herself at one time, which gave me more confidence to pursue the healing process. I think it was worth every penny, it has totally changed the way I deal with food forever, and I get the benefit of preventive medicine as well. This is a massive bonus because I have less health problems and I know this is saving me a fortune. I would say that this stuff requires work that you have to put in, and you have to feel prepared to commit to the work. Prior to Marissa, I always did 80% of the work I needed, but never followed through because I never trusted what I was doing. Marissa's strategy and protocol gave me that trust I needed to fill in all those gaps of misunderstanding, and there was so much more than I could have imagined. The last thing I'll say is that it has done more than improve my health, it has expanded my thinking!” -Adam L.

“Marissa is so knowledgeable, and what really made my visit with her so helpful is her ability to tailor her recommendations to my specific needs and lifestyle. I was able to start making changes to my diet and supplements right away, and see amazing changes in a couple of weeks! I feel more energized, I've lost a couple pounds, and my skin is SO much better.” -Shelley O.

“Marissa is the most intelligent nutritionist I have ever met, and as a physican I have met plenty. She has a mastery of understanding and isn't confused by corporate dietary device nor does she subscribe to ‘conventional wisdom’. Her recommendations are so easy to follow and her support is incredible. I am looking forward to learning more from her.” -Dr. Lance S.

“Marissa is very knowledgable and educated as a nutritionist and keeps up with recent research. She tailors to your needs and explains the science and benefits, plus she has a sense of humor! She is a great nutritionist and enthusiastic healer! I would highly recommend her.” -Nettie M.

“Marissa is approachable, energetic and likable. She is highly knowledgeable about nutrition and overall health and wellness. She has worked with me to refine my diet so that I want to eat healthy. She also does a great job of helping me understand the biological reasons why I’m avoiding certain foods and eating others. I especially appreciate that looks at food and physical activity as medicine, and at surgery and pharmaceuticals as a last resort.” -Merrick R.

“Marissa has completely changed my relationship with food. In a very short time she has taught me how to feed myself with great tasting food, cook with recipes that produce meals that are sustaining, AND lose unwanted weight while building some good looking muscle. I couldn’t be happier! I look so forward to my weekly sessions with Marissa. She knows what she is talking about and quickly zeros in on what will be most helpful to me. She has my unequivocal endorsement.” -Ann E.

“I started working with Marissa in November 2023 right around Thanksgiving. Since that time I am down 50 pounds and it has felt effortless. But before I came to Marissa, I was completely under the thumb of food and food addiction. I had no more ideas, I was completely out of ideas and I couldn't fix it by myself. I just couldn't. I was completely broken in the area of food. I’d had a weight problem since the time I was probably seven or eight and I'm 63 now. So it's been a lifelong thing and working with Marissa has been a complete miracle. She taught me how my body works and that my body needs meat. And lots and lots of it! And she taught me that seed oils are like the demon. Because of Marissa, and because of her deep deep knowledge of what the right thing is to do and how to eat - and kind of how to live - my brain is quiet and I think I'm nourished for the first time in my life. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough. She has saved my life. I'm absolutely completely convinced of it and if not, that she's definitely given me a life and I just think she's the best thing in the whole world!” -Sandi D.
