Registered Massage Therapist
Marissa was born and raised in Hawaii and moved to Victoria in 2014 to begin her studies at the University of Victoria. Over the years, Marissa has loved to try many different ways of moving such as dancing, swimming, climbing, yoga, and any other sport available.
Marissa graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, B.C. in 2016. Throughout her time at WCCMT, she gained massage experience at sport events, in clinical environments, and out in the community. She has been working as a Registered Massage Therapist since 2019, and volunteered at MOVE Adapted Fitness and Rehabilitation before becoming part of their staff. She completed her Bachelors in Kinesiology at UVic in 2022.
In her practice as an RMT, Marissa aims to help each client heal by relaxing the body and mind through manual techniques, breathwork, and open communication. Her hope is that every person leaves the treatment feeling heard, supported, and more comfortable in their bodies, while also having tools for healing outside of the treatment room.
