Creating space where women who are fed up and fired up can take a deep breath, quiet the voice of self-doubt, and redefine success without compromising what matters most.
In today’s fast-paced world, the pressure to achieve more can feel overwhelming. You've been told a story that success requires sacrifice—of time, energy, or even our core values. That story is what has kept you in a
cycle of exhaustion and overwhelm.
​
But what if there’s a better way?
​
More Without Compromise is way for you to live well and lead well. It's about pursuing growth, success, and fulfillment while staying true to what matters most. It means setting ambitious goals without sacrificing your well-being, integrity, or the relationships that enrich your life. It’s not about doing less, but rather, about doing more in a way that aligns with your values and sustains your health and happiness.
​
As you strive for more, remember that it’s possible to grow without giving up what’s important. By balancing ambition with integrity, you can achieve a more meaningful and sustainable success—one that nourishes your whole self and inspires others to do the same.
​
Let’s redefine what it means for you to be successful, and start embracing
More Without Compromise.

Marisa asked uncomfortable questions I had previously avoided. She gave me considerations I had not thought of. She left me reeling with ideas, possibilities, and a renewed curiosity and excitement I haven’t felt in a long time.
So for those hesitant about coaching, take a chance! There’s nothing to lose and you never know, you may end up realizing a passion that excites and inspires you every day.

I was feeling burnt out and overwhelmed, unable to face another challenge.
Seeking a lifeline, I scheduled my initial session with Marisa. With each session, I experienced a weight lifting off my shoulders, a renewed sense of hope blossoming within me. I regained confidence in my ability to tackle challenges and honed my skills in time management, energy preservation, and task delegation.
Just the other day, I confided in my partner that, for the first time in years, I wake up excited to work. I've managed to overcome burnout, and now I can recognize the warning signs when I'm nearing that state. Plus, I've developed techniques to proactively prevent burnout and steer clear of unhealthy habits.
Marisa's coaching breathed new life into me.
Lauren Z., Director in Global Ed
Marisa is an amazing, transformative coach who partners with you to identify what’s holding you back and helps you get to where you want to be.
My coaching sessions with Marisa have been the best investment I have ever made in myself. NONE of the past training classes I’ve taken, books I’ve read, leadership development programs I’ve enrolled in compare to my work with Marisa, which has fundamentally changed how I show up at work.
While our sessions weren’t always easy, spending time working through my limiting beliefs with Marisa’s calm, non-judgmental presence as my guide, made a true difference.
During our three months of working together, I instituted positive changes that allowed me to bring my full self to work, "own my brilliance" as Marisa likes to say, and make the impact I am seeking to make on this planet. I cannot not recommend her enough!
My Manifesto
All women deserve to love well, live well, and lead well.
I believe that when women step fully into their power, they bring extraordinary strength, empathy, and resilience into our world.
I believe that the collective energy of people on fire is what will change our communities, families, businesses, and, ultimately, our world. This work isn’t just for today—it’s for you, for me, and for my daughter. It’s to build a world where more women’s voices are heard, valued, and celebrated.
I believe that leadership development is personal development, and that real growth comes from nurturing the whole person and emboldening women to thrive from the inside out.
I embrace a whole-person approach because true leadership stems from loving and living well. .
I believe every woman deserves someone in your corner rooting loudly and proudly for you. So, as you grow, I’ll be here cheering you on every step of the way, championing your journey to a life that is rich, authentic, and filled with possibility.
I believe in a world where women can have More Without Compromise- more success, more joy, more impact, more influence- without losing themselves along the way.
​
More Without Compromise isn't just a saying- it's a way of being.
