Marissa Leal(she/her)

Marissa is a somatic practitioner and trauma‑informed coach based in Somerville, MA. She works with 1:1 clients virtually worldwide and hosts in‑person workshops and somatic movement classes. She supports women who are ready to get to the root of what’s blocking their access to innate wholeness, aliveness, and sovereignty. Through self‑inquiry and somatic practices, her approach bridges the psychological and the physiological to support deep healing.

This work is more than a practical set of tools; it’s a way of life. It’s a journey to shed light on all the ways that outdated patterns and unconscious limiting beliefs have been running our lives. This work is about freedom and choice—the freedom to take action from a place of genuine choice in the present rather than reacting from old conditioning. 

Each session will look different depending on the needs of each client. We spend a portion of our time talking, but we will also ground into and move through different ways of experiencing ourselves and our bodies. This comes through the many channels available to us, including body awareness, movement, feelings, expression, breathwork, visualizations, and mindfulness. This practice is here to support your work in becoming embodied—the aligning of the mind, heart, body, and soul that allows you to feel, speak, and express your truth as one whole being.

As we build capacity over time and learn to work with the body and our emotional energy, we can begin to integrate our experiences and create the conditions through which we can experience deeper authentic connection, creativity and pleasure in ourselves in on all levels of being: mental, physical, emotional, behavioral, energetic, spiritual and relational.
