Marissa graduated from UMO in 2015 with her Masters in Social Work and a minor in Interdisciplinary Disabilities Studies. Initially working with crisis services, later moving into school-based and telehealth therapy. During this time she had been learning and practicing yoga and was amazed by the overlap of skills related to social work in basic yoga practices, as well as the benefits of practicing yoga for her own mental and physical wellbeing. In 2020, she graduated from her 200hour Yoga Teacher Training, and has been passionately teaching since.
