From self-abandonment to self-trust—deep, embodied healing for women ready to break free from old patterns and step into lasting transformation.

Welcome.

Deep, lasting change for women who feel stuck.

Have you tried everything and nothing seems to work quite right? I help self-aware, successful women break free from the patterns that are keeping them stuck. Together we will regulate your nervous system and help you live more confidently and embodied so that you can finally access a more fulfilling life.

Do you feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your healing and you’re ready to experience real, lasting transformation?

You’re self-aware, successful in many ways, yet beneath the surface, you still feel stuck. You’re seeking a new way forward - one that moves beyond just talking about the past and helps you truly feel different in your body, your relationships, and your life.

Here’s the reality - Healing isn’t just about understanding your past—it’s about experiencing real change in the present.

In our work together, we go beyond traditional talk therapy, using a somatic and nervous system-focused approach to help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. Through this process, you’ll develop a felt sense of safety, strengthen your boundaries, and break free from old patterns—so you can move through life with more ease, confidence, and authenticity.
Let’s go beyond quick fixes and start doing the deep work that creates lasting change.

Marisa Vann, MEd, LPC, SEP 

Somatic Psychotherapist (she/her/hers)

I believe therapists and healers can only take clients as far as they have gone themselves. I have a deep dedication to my own personal therapeutic and body-based healing, which allows me to empathize deeply with your healing experience. My direct, yet warm and understanding approach serves as a container for our work and my knowledge of what it feels like to embark on my own healing allows me to compassionately co-journey with you on yours.

I offer a grounded, steady presence and a healing experience that’s both deeply supportive and lovingly challenging. I won’t just listen - I’ll help you see the patterns keeping you stuck and guide you toward real transformation. I’ll encourage you to step into your power, set strong boundaries, and reconnect with the most confident, authentic version of yourself so you can fully grasp the change you’ve been longing for.

Real healing is possible, and now is the right time for you to feel into your healing.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of New Orleans, and I have completed several somatic training programs that greatly inform my work as a somatic psychotherapist:

  • Kathy Kain and Stephen Terrell – Year-long training in Somatic Resilience and Regulation.
  • Somatic Experiencing Institute – Three-year training program in Somatic Experiencing® to achieve Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) certification.
  • Kathy Kain – Year-long Touch Skills Training for Therapists and a four-day training in Somatic Narrative and the Viscera.
  • Stephen Terrell – Year-long training in Transforming the Experienced-Based Brain (TEB).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Louisiana (LA license #5505).
