You’ve trained your body and sharpened your mind.  

But who’s helping you manage what you can’t see? Reset to Rise is where performance coaching meets nervous system healing and energetic recalibration.

69% of elite athletes report performance anxiety that impairs focus and execution (APA, 2020), and studies show that nervous system regulation can lower cortisol by 31% and accelerate recovery (JSSM, 2018).

Reset to Rise helps you clear these unseen blocks, restore inner stability, and return to peak performance—faster, lighter, and more focused than before.

This isn’t therapy. It’s not strength training. It’s the missing link that supports the entire human behind the athlete.

Why Athletes Work With Me:

✔️  You’re juggling intense travel, media scrutiny, and nonstop expectations—and it’s taking a toll

✔️  You’re recovering from an injury and the emotional impact is heavier than expected

✔️  You’ve reached external success, but feel an anxiousness within about maintaining it

✔️  You're struggling to open up and trust others outside your now narrowing circle 

✔️  You’re not sleeping well, recovering fast, or trusting yourself in clutch moments

✔️  You’ve gained awareness through therapy or self-reflection, but you’re still not moving forward

✔️  You’re showing up like you’re fine, but emotional turmoil off the field is zapping your energy 

✔️  You're experiencing guilt surrounding the money you make and it's inhibiting your ability to enjoy the blessing

✔️  You’re facing a potential career transition or wondering what’s next—and it’s stirring more questions than answers

✔️  You want support from someone qualified who also gets it—someone who’s lived in that world and understands what it actually feels like

Hi, I'm Marisa

I’m a trauma-informed spiritual life coach, certified energy practitioner, speaker, and best-selling author with a Master’s degree in psychology. I help elite athletes, partners, and teams navigate the emotional, energetic, and identity-level demands of high-performance living.

But my work didn’t start in a classroom. It started in real life—when I was married to a World Cup–winning rugby player whose career ended suddenly due to a traumatic head injury.

We weren’t just navigating physical recovery. We were navigating identity loss, emotional collapse, financial uncertainty, and the pressure to hold it all together. I saw firsthand how little support exists for the whole human behind the athlete—and for the women and families who carry just as much behind the scenes.

That experience led me on a deep personal journey of healing, purpose, and reinvention—and ultimately to create Reset to Rise: a coaching and energetic support experience that fills the gap between sports psychology and physical training.

My work blends:

• Nervous system recalibration and regulation

• Subconscious reprogramming and belief work

• Trauma healing using the E4 Trauma Method®

• Energy clearing, performance coaching, and mindset integration 

 I’ve helped high performers regulate under pressure, heal what’s been suppressed, shift their internal state, and reconnect to who they are beyond the spotlight. 

Whether I’m speaking on stage, coaching 1:1, or guiding a team session, my goal is simple: To offer the support I wish I’d had back then—and to help others rise with more ease, clarity, and power than they thought possible.
