This is where you unfurl.

I’m Marisa, a somatic yoga-therapist and LCSW-supervised intern with over 10 years of teaching trauma-informed yoga and 7 years of working with healing sound. Living on the Big Island, I weave my modalities into an alchemical practice that helps you feel safe, heard, and whole, regardless of if we are doing private sound healing or eco-somatic work. My tools are science-backed and shaped by my own healing journey, and I’d be honored to walk beside you on yours.
