I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Marissa. I’m a teacher, writer, and lifelong student of nature’s beauty and wisdom. My work centers on the practice of presence and how we cultivate interconnected wellbeing through mindfulness and compassion.

Our presence is our best creation.

As we encounter this uncertain, unprecedented, and unfathomable world, coming home to presence is not a luxury but a necessity. To do so requires the capacity to feel the discomfort and delight of being human. 

Mindfulness and self-compassion are the inner resources we need to honor our humanness.
