Let's chat

“The support Marisa has provided has been so wonderful. Having someone really hear me and give an unbiased perspective - a perspective that is hard to have from my POV because I am in the “thick” of it. It’s nice not having someone just push advice but hear you, support you, provide tips and resources on how to actually deal with these emotions vs. ignoring them”

TRANSFORMATIONAL LIFE COACH for mothers

I knew my life was going to change when I had my daughter…but I didn’t know how much I was going to change alongside her.

Becoming a mother was truly an awakening for me, but it wasn’t always that way. For the first few months of her life I simply lived in survival mode. Living life on autopilot, pouring all my strength and energy into my role as a new mother.

Many of the days seemed to blur together and I felt pulled in every direction but my own. My passions and interests seemed distant, my ambitions and aspirations fell to the wayside and I felt so deeply immersed in my role as “mom” that I began attending to everyones needs but my own.

It wasn’t until I reached a breaking point that I became aware of just how disconnected I was. I had to decide whether I would return to my 9-5 job as a teacher, or pursue a more balanced, but extremely uncertain life as a coach.

This transitional stage forced me to be radically honest with myself and what I needed to accept + change. It wasn’t until I stepped off the treadmill of life, of what others expected of me or what society told me to do that I found the desire to get clear about what I wanted.

I had to go inwards and reconnect with my values and what truly mattered to me. I had to let go of all the noise and ground into my own inner voice and guide.

It had been there all along… I just wasn’t able to hear it. And that’s when it all started to shift…my journey back home; honouring who I had been, rediscovering who I had become, and celebrating who I wanted to be.

My mission now, is supporting mothers through their own transitions and journeys of reconnection. To show you the art of slowing down, taking time for yourself + tuning into your needs. To show you that it’s possible to be a loving mother, whilst also creating meaning and fulfilment outside of that role.

To help you curate more self awareness so you can feel empowered creating a path of your own. To help you navigate the many transitions in your lives, by gaining inner alignment and clarity on what truly matters most to you.

I’m so honoured you stopped by, and if you feel pulled to explore how coaching can support you in this next season of your life I hope you will book in for a 45 min deep dive with me so I can get to know you a little better.

With love + gratitude,

Marisa

What the women are saying

  • Nina, Canada

    Working with Marisa has been SO wonderful. I really valued the time we had together, it was a mini rebirth. Marisa’s values-centered exercise was my favourite. My confidence is back and I have a new level of appreciation for myself. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Marisa during such a challenging time in my life. If you are looking for someone to learn from about yourself, Marisa is your girl.

  • Jessica, UK

    I’ve learnt so much about myself from my time with Marisa. She is such a positive and encouraging burst of energy that’s helped me understand how to regulate my emotions but also how to plan and execute the key pillars and values in my life — from family, friendships to launching my own business. This balance is exactly what I’ve needed to grow emotionally but to also plan strategically the life I want to live — essentially shaping my future!! Thank you Marisa :)

  • Catherine, UK

    I am much happier than I was 5 months ago! I am more engaged and less stressed around my children, I am taking care of my physical and mental health more routinely, and I’m learning more about what’s important to me. I’m proud of myself for making the decision to change and so happy to see the beneficial effects it’s had on my mental and physical health and my relationships with my children and husband!

  • Ashleigh, UK

    I feel like I came to coaching with a particular mindset and idea of where I was going to be, "wanted to be", by the end of our time together. My goodness, what an epic and powerful journey. It has truly been a transformation already and I had no idea that we would end up where we are now. I am so grateful that I trusted you and this process.

  • Rebecca, Portugal

    Marisa is a very kind mum that truly cared about our journey. It was great to talk with Marisa about some self doubt + mama guilt that I had been feeling and how to balance work and being a mother. After the Reconnect Program I now feel more comfortable in continuing this path, because I can thrive in my work which I love doing, while also having a balanced time with my daughter. I’m so glad I made the right choice by getting support! The sessions were incredibly helpful to analyse where I am right now and hone in on it. I truly appreciate the time and heart Marisa put into it.

  • Christina, UK

    My time working with Marisa was transformational. I went from a state of chronic stress, overwhelm and emotional volatility I have moved to a place where I feel positive, calm, and so much better attuned to what is happening inside. Marisa helped me to recognise that I was in burnout and supported me in taking big decisions to move away from things that were the root of a lot of my stress and anxiety. She has provided tools and support to help me get a better sense of self- to recognise my triggers and negative thought patterns; to understand my values and what really matters the most; to help me adopt the habits that will move me towards the future version of myself that I want to be. Through all of this I am happier, have more emotional stability, and importantly am more present than I’ve ever been - meaning I’m not missing the moments that matter to me the most. Thank you Marisa xx

  • Charlotte, UK

    “All of my sessions with Marisa have been full of value and kind. We have gone to such a deep level in a short amount of time and that has been due to Marisa’s skill in holding the space and using powerful questions to help me discover so much about myself. Marisa you have genuinely impacted my life over the past few weeks more than you will ever know.”

  • Amy, UK

    Marisa is so warm, kind and inviting! She is easy to talk to, listens attentively and shows compassion no matter how I show up. This journey with her has been invaluable! She was able to help me grow in ways I wasn’t expecting and at the end of the sessions I felt empowered to achieve new goals like finding my love of running again.

  • Sarah, UK

    Honestly, I feel like the first three sessions laid the ground-work for a serious transformation. I feel like I am unstuck and radiating my authentic energy finally. I didn't realise that I wasn't expressing who I really am and our sessions have really helped me to uncover and overcome that. I'm not in the same energy or expression of myself as when we started this process!

Is this you?

  • Living on Autopilot

    Do the days feel like they all blur together? From the moment you wake up to the moment you sink into bed at night, wondering where the day went and what you even accomplished? Do you feel stuck in the fast pace of life, swept up in the many to-dos of motherhood? You often catch yourself thinking.. is this it?

  • Stressed + overwhelmed

    You feel overwhelmed and on edge with the day to day demands of motherhood. You find yourself reacting to the day with little control over the events that unfold. You feel you could snap at any moment and often sink into bed exhausted and drained? Do you feel like you are trying to juggle it all but feeling sub-par and stretched too thin?

  • Confused + uncertain about the future

    Do you wonder what it is you enjoy anymore?What it is you even want for yourself? Does the thought of future decisions and transitions leave you feeling confused or apathetic, wishing you had more direction? Do you wish you had more time to think about these things but find yourself putting them off?

  • Lacking meaning + purpose

    Are you longing for meaning and fulfilment outside of motherhood? Are you finding it hard to connect to something larger than yourself? Or to say with conviction what it is that truly matters to you? Do you fear that life is just passing you by and you are missing out?

  • Struggling with guilt, comparison and inner critic

    Do you wish you had more time for yourself but struggle with mom guilt, comparison and thoughts of ‘not good enough?’ Do these thoughts hold you back from moving towards the things you want or the person you want to become?

  • Wishing you were more present

    Do you often find yourself struggling to be fully present with loved ones? Going back and forth between work and all the million to-do’s in your head? Are you afraid you are missing out on precious moments with your family? Do you crave more balance between work and family life?

What can you expect on a coaching journey together

“Marisa, you are incredible at respecting the changes in a mother’s life, and acknowledging our vulnerability to stop and rethink who we truly are. I just love your work, and so appreciate all the support and time we had together. You truly inspired me to reconnect with myself when I felt fragile in my new life’s role. Thank you for everything.

I am here to guide you back to yourself.

During the transition into motherhood, we undergo physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual changes that add new layers to our identity.

These new layers can overshadow who we felt we were before having a child & we can easily find ourselves feeling disconnected, overwhelmed & mourning the life we used to have.

Throughout motherhood there may be days, weeks, or months where you feel out of touch with yourself. ⁠

...because who you were + what matters most to you seemed to change overnight. ⁠

But the truth is, your life does change when you become a mother.

YOU change when you become a mother.

Much of the work I do, is to empower you to welcome this expansion as you continue to evolve into the person you were always meant to be.

So, that is where I come in! To remind you that even if you feel like you’re lost, you are growing in ways you just can’t see yet.

+ Together, we can uncover what matters most; so you can spend time on things that matter

+ Together, we can uncover the unconscious patterns, beliefs and obstacles holding you back; so you can step into your power

+ Together, we can explore who you are; so you can lead by example and create a live you love

+ Together, we can explore what your values and priorities are; so you can cultivate more balance in your life

+ YOU can cultivate an empowered mindset, so. you can show up as the fearless leader and woman you are

Kind Words ⁠

“Marisa has given me the tools and support to help me manage those anxieties, and take positive + productive action to move forward”

— Jen

“Marisa, you’ve helped me recognise my own needs and set limits and boundaries for myself in order to protect them. Thank you!”

— Melissa

 “I can’t thank her enough for the time we have spent together and I know that I will continue to use her going forward as this time together has been life changing. “

— Claire, Canada

You need to show up for yourself first…


It’s about showing up for yourself in the same way that you show up for your children. Recognising that your own needs are vitally important to your well-being and will ultimately lead to becoming the best version of yourself for you + your loved ones.

This means deepening your connection to yourself by slowing down enough to tune into what your body and heart are calling for. This means understanding our relationship with stress + how it impacts our energy, mood & emotions.

This means learning to silence your inner critic by detaching from negative thoughts + showing yourself unconditional love and compassion. This means nurturing your own needs and making time + space for you.

This means taking that first step in investing in yourself.

I work alongside ambitious, open-minded, mothers who are facing/or currently experiencing transitions in their lives.

Mothers who are ready to say yes to reconnecting with who they are now, reclaiming their passions, joy + fulfilment outside of motherhood, and living from a place of presence + gratitude.

If thats you, I can’t wait to get to know you better!
