Work with Marisa

Change the patterns. Change the conversation.

You can be successful, capable and self-aware, and still find yourself having the same arguments, choosing the same relationships, questioning your worth or struggling to express what you really need.

Sometimes the challenge isn’t knowing what to do. It’s understanding the familiar beliefs and responses influencing what you do.

Who this is for

Successful, self-aware adults who feel stuck in familiar patterns, even when life looks good from the outside.

You may recognise the same ceiling in your relationships, work or confidence. You’re willing to get curious about your part in the pattern, without making yourself the problem.

You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out. A willingness to reflect, communicate honestly and try practical changes is a place to begin.

“I was finally able to release deep trauma I had carried with another person for years. It created space in my life to finally move forward.”

I cannot recommend Marisa at The Five highly enough. Through the work she undertook with me, I was finally able to release deep trauma I had carried with another person for years. During the process, I could genuinely feel that connection leaving me, and it created space in my life to finally move forward. In the 12 months since working with Marisa, I have gone from strength to strength, I've been able to completely block contact and free myself from the negative hold this person had over my life. The change in my mindset, emotional wellbeing, and personal strength has been incredible. Marisa's care, intuition, and practice have truly changed my life, and I'm deeply grateful for the freedom and peace I now feel.

“She created an environment where I felt completely safe, supported, and genuinely heard. I felt deeply seen, without judgment.”

Marisa came into my life unexpectedly, in what I can only describe as perfect divine timing. I've now had three NLP sessions with her, and every single one has been a complete game changer. Before working with Marisa, I'd never really considered just how closely connected my conscious and subconscious mind were, or how deeply my subconscious was influencing my choices, reactions, behaviours, and long-standing patterns. Marisa gently helped me uncover parts of myself that I didn't even realize existed including hidden beliefs and unconscious programming that had been quietly shaping so much of my life. She didn't just guide me through the process; she created an environment where I felt completely safe, supported, and genuinely heard. I felt deeply seen, without judgment, and that's something I don't take for granted. Her depth of knowledge, lived experience, wisdom, and intuitive understanding have all prepared her beautifully for this work. I can't recommend Marisa highly enough. I'm so grateful our paths crossed, and I truly hope to continue working with her for a long time to come. These sessions have already changed the way I see myself, and I have no doubt they'll continue to shape my life in the best possible way.
