Marisa is a Co-founder of Body Connect Health & Wellness and holds a license as a Physical Therapist in both D.C. and VA. She completed her Masters of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Connecticut in 2004. Marisa’s career began at National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC, where she discovered her passion for providing comprehensive treatment to individuals with pelvic floor dysfunction, such as chronic pelvic and abdominal pain, incontinence, and pre/post-natal pain.

In 2009, Marisa joined the Kirk Center for Healthy Living, a specialized clinic focusing on pelvic floor issues located in the Chicago suburbs. This opportunity allowed her to further develop her skills as a pelvic floor specialist and create a healing environment that incorporated yoga and meditation workshops for individuals dealing with chronic pelvic pain. Marisa’s expertise in this field was recognized when she became a teaching assistant at the prestigious Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitative Institute.

Marisa’s training in Visceral Manipulation, Integral Bodywork, and Myofascial Release has been instrumental in her successful treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, abdominal pain syndromes, and structural problems affecting her patients. Furthermore, Marisa has personally experienced the transformative effects of her work on her own physical body and overall health. In her free time, she enjoys engaging in activities such as yoga, cooking, cycling, swimming, hiking, music, theater, and travel.
