Background

About Marissa Winters

I develop and teach practical tools to nourish bodies, minds, and spirits, supporting my clients to create a life they love. What differentiates me as a teacher, practitioner, and coach is I understand the importance of addressing the influence of energy on life and lifestyle changes. I come from an energy perspective and include practices to manage energy in my teaching and coaching. As a nutrition professional, I know that the food we eat, as well as the way in which we eat it, are critical contributors to health and wellbeing. I use my expertise to help people optimize their health by empowering them to make informed choices about the foods they eat. I guide them in establishing realistic goals and strategies to solve challenges they face. I collaborate with other disciplines as needed to implement treatment plans that are holistic and incorporate all available resources. I love to create and offer virtual and in-person classes and presentations on a variety of self-care and wellbeing topics for the public as well as industry peers and colleagues. My coaching practice focuses on the Radical Self Care process, a program uniquely designed to foster a sustained improvement in quality of life. This has been developed and refined by the Center for Conscious Caregiving, a nonprofit integrative self-care training, practice and healing center. In December 2020 I started a Reiki program in two hospital systems to offer short sessions to staff as a way to help them manage increased stress. Outcomes from these sessions consistently show 30-70% reduction in perceived stress after a session. Taking care of those who take care of others is one of my passions. My purpose is to guide others to effectively prioritize their self-care beyond superficial interventions and step into their highest vision for themselves.
