CONNECT. HEAL. THRIVE

Holistic and tailored coaching using evidence-based practices to reconnect with your body, reclaim power, and align with your true self.

Let’s work together to help you live into your most authentic potential.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges?

You’ve come to the right place.

Experiencing major life upheaval or loss? Transitioning roles, career, stages of life, or locations? Navigating sensory processing, brain injury, trauma, or health complexities? Desiring more empowered access to creative expression?

Let’s work together to create a personalized, holistic approach to help you live into your unbound potential.

Welcome, I’m Amarisa.

Consider me your partner in your embodied process.

I’m a certified coach, yoga steward, Intuitive Eating counselor, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner passionate about helping people like you navigate complexity and achieve your goals with grace.

I’ve experienced first-hand the power of the practices that I share. These modalities helped me navigate brain injury, sensory processing impairments, and transform my life. Now I have the privilege of helping clients in their transformational journeys.

I’m here to listen, to support your unfolding process, and to guide you towards optimum wellbeing through a holistic, individualized, evidence-based, integrative coaching approach.

I want nothing more than to witness you, like many clients, in steady access to your true self, living into your unbound potential with access to personalized practices and tools to navigate life’s beauty and complexity.

It’s time for you to feel listened to at the deepest level and truly followed by your coach, as you make the most attuned changes for you to live your best life.

  • "I've had the privilege of being coached by Amarisa over the past three years, and her warm, intuitive, and deeply relational approach has been consistently supportive and transformative. Amarisa brings a wealth of knowledge across multiple modalities—including process-oriented coaching, somatic experiencing, and yoga—which means our sessions go beyond traditional coaching. With care and consent, she offers practical tools and insights that have helped me live more in alignment with my values and personal growth. I highly recommend Amarisa to anyone looking for a coach who integrates a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and trauma-informed support.”

Benefits of an Embodied Process

  • Build somatic trust, your body’s capacity to guide you toward safety, clarity, and connection.

  • Whether you are healing your relationship with food, leading teams through complexity, developing a new way of working, or redefining resilience on your own terms. Refine your capacity for skillful action.

  • Let inner and outer conflict act as catalysts for growth and fuel transformation. Witness the dance between receptivity and resistance. Know when to slow down, when to step toward or away, when protection is needed, when to step more fully into your power.

  • Release the outdated, limited, small identity and cut through the veils that cloak our true knowing. Open an inner space of deep wisdom and knowledge through attunement with the body as vehicle to express creativity and act from the teacher within.

This is a process of somatic attunement, of reclaiming agency if it has been lost, finding trust in the nervous system, connecting to intuition, and feeling empowered to courageously engage with life.
