Marisa Incelli

Marisa went to art school to become a printmaker, studied classical ballet, and then came to yoga and Thai bodywork after scoliosis and chifosis made it necessary for her to find a form of physical therapy beyond dance. After a 15 year journey discovering the various styles of yoga, Marisa found the modality of Thai bodywork in an advanced training and experienced the radical healing effect it has on both spirit and physical body. 

Marisa’s path became even more focused on Thai medicine healing with the teachings of Gwyn Williams, Zen Thai Shiatsu, and continuing to full certification under Sebastian Bruno of Thai Vedic, and Mukti Michael Buck and the Vedic Conservatory.  Marisa appreciates that Thai medicine uses not only the modality of physical manipulation but it is based in Ayurvedic medicine, and 5 Element theory with Buddhism at it's spiritual heart.  

At the heart of Marisa’s practice is the belief that we all suffer trauma in our lives, from an energetic perspective this trauma is held within our physical bodies until the body can no longer support the stress of holding onto it and then it manifests in physical disease, chronic pain, anxiety, weight gain and many other potential physical issues.  The culmination of Marissa’s fine art background, physical asana practice, Thai bodywork, professional cooking, and energetic healing work has compelled her to integrate these disciplines in service to helping one person at a time, release their stories, release their trauma and find Samadhi.
