Hi, I’m Marisa, a trauma-informed coach and a recovering people-pleaser.

Growing up, my mother was strict and emotionally unsafe, so I learned very early on to keep the peace, stay small, and avoid doing anything that might make her angry.

For a long time, people-pleasing shaped so many areas of my life, my health, my relationships, my finances, and the way I saw myself. I know how painful and exhausting it is to constantly put others first while losing touch with your own needs.

I overgave, overworked, and abandoned myself just to feel accepted, loved, and worthy. I shrank myself in friendships, relationships, and family dynamics, hoping that if I gave enough,

did enough, or stayed easy enough to love, I would finally feel safe and chosen.

I created this program to help you gently break free from people-pleasing patterns and come home to yourself, so you can set loving boundaries, honour your needs, and choose yourself with more confidence, self-trust, and less guilt.
