Welcome to the
Forest’s Edge Experience

Step out into nature &
gain the clarity you crave.

You’re standing at the edge of something new. 

This change feels different than any you’ve been through before:

  • The stakes feel higher than ever

  • The roadmap that got you here, won’t take you where you’re going next

  • Deep down, you know that forcing your way through won’t work this time

  • You’ve tried doing it their way, and now you want your own

  • You aren’t just experiencing change - you are becoming

The Forest’s Edge was made for exactly this moment.
It’s a nature-led experience that brings you back to your own wisdom, so you can find your way forward in the midst of uncertainty and change.

Every woman who has been through the Forest’s Edge experience has stood where you are standing right now.

At the place where excitement meets: “Holy shit, what do I do next?”

They came in craving clarity in their next move and validation that it was the right move.

But they walked away with something far more valuable: trusting that she already knew the way forward.

  • “Marissa has the ability to listen deeply and reflect back in ways where your own thoughts and feelings resonate much bigger. She also surfaces things you didn’t even realize were important. And doing all this out in nature just really sticks with you.”

    Liz Ference, Founder Juggle

  • “I wouldn’t have thought to use nature as a way to find new ideas for my career, but it really did help. I walked away feeling energized by new possibilities rather than stuck trying to figure out the ‘right’ next step.”

    Jennifer O’Rourke, Licensed Psychotherapist for Moms and Kids

  • "I honestly didn’t realize how much I had been holding on to and how much I needed to focus more on trusting myself. As a coach myself, that is a pretty eye opening experience to have.”

    Nichole Howard, CEO, MCH Photography and Wealthy and Well Coaching

  • The Forest’s Edge session wasn't just a meditation or a journaling exercise. Marissa created an experience that helped me access something I don't think I could have gotten to by just thinking or talking my way through it. I'm really, really grateful.

    Client, Brandi Croghan, Founder, The What If Collective

  • “I left feeling more open and calm than when I arrived. I actually got up and sang and danced rather than grabbing my phone to play Boggle (and you have no idea what a big deal that is for me!). It feels fully baked, very thoughtful, and helpful.”

    Julie Sissman, Leadership & Executive Coach

For the Woman Standing at the Edge of Big Change

Everyone comes to the edge in their own way, which one is yours?

  • You’re ready to make a bold move in your business or life

  • You’re leaving a safe career, or wondering if it's time

  • You’re stepping into something you've never done before

  • You’re doing it all on your own for the first time

  • You’re coming back to your own work after years spent focused on others

  • You simply want to feel what it’s like to move with your own agency again

You are done following someone else's recipe 
for success and you are ready to write your own. 

How The Experience Works


Every experience is tailored specifically to you and your edge. You’ll choose how you want to meet your edge: on your own (audio only), in a live private session with me or in a group gathering.


I’ll guide you from start to finish through a highly curated experience out in nature that will bring you back to the only advice you really need, your own.


You start with one burning question. Usually it’s the one keeping you up at night. Then, I’ll guide you through a few exercises to help you truly step out of your everyday chaos and tap into nature for a new perspective and deeper wisdom to answer your question from a new point of view.


You’ll walk away with three things:

  • Clarity in your own direction.

  • The conviction to move with it, because it’s truly yours.

  • A practice to help you reconnect with your own wisdom whenever you meet your next edge.

Marissa doesn't give you the answers, she helps you remember how to access your own.

Meet Your Guide, Marissa

Something unique happens where the forest meets the field. Ecologists call it the edge effect. It’s the least predictable place in nature, and it’s also the most alive.

I never thought about this in my own life until I hit an edge in my career I couldn’t get through. I second-guessed every idea I had for my business. I knew I was ready to leap into something new, but my mind was so cluttered, I couldn’t decide which way to jump.

Time outside changed everything. It’s where I learned to listen to myself above others. And it’s how the Forest’s Edge became a metaphor for my own edges in life and in business.

I started to notice that whenever I felt confusion and resistance, it didn’t mean I was doing something wrong, it meant I was standing at a new edge.

Over time, I built a practice that turned my hikes into eye-opening sessions that helped me work through that resistance. The more I practiced, the more clearly I heard my own wisdom, and the quieter everyone else’s opinions became.
