"She has a way of gently prodding until I find myself saying something unexpected"

Being coached by Marisa is such a treat. She has a way of gently prodding until I find myself saying something unexpected and then realizing that something bothering me actually has a simple answer, but the answers hide until Marisa coaxes them from me. Sometimes she asks if she can share a thought with me, and then I know that a real gem will follow. Her intuition is usually spot-on, providing an insight that will be on the path to getting me unstuck. And she has a knack of asking me a question at the end of a session, to take through the next week, which turns out to be a question I can really learn from. I look forward to the coaching sessions with a curiosity about what will unfold for me next, knowing that when I put the phone down, I will have learnt something of value and have received a real boost to my motivation. Through her coaching, I become more certain about where I am going in my life and my work, even determined to succeed and convinced that this will indeed happen.

"Although we are hundreds of miles apart she would give me the coaching I needed to move forward"

Marisa is a kind and warm-hearted coach, who not only has these qualities, she also has a great manner, listening, and questioning skills. Marisa is supportive which gave me peace of mind that I had a supporter in my corner with me. Although we are hundreds of miles apart she would give me the coaching I needed to move forward. It is easy and enjoyable to have Marisa as my coach. She is a great asset not only to coaching, but to the world. The coaching allowed me to be challenged in a safe environment where I knew my goals and dreams would be appreciated and was encouraged to follow and achieve them.

"Space with Marisa has been incredibly important to me and my life."

Space with Marisa has been incredibly important to me and my life.
It has been a space for me to share things I shared nowhere else, a space to face my thoughts and fears, to identify desires and passions, a space for me to think about things I hadn't thought of before, a space to reflect and make plans for the future.

Marisa's wonderful combination of serenity and passion is simultaneously calming and stimulating, while her careful words encourage, challenge and inspire.
