Marisa is a pediatric physical therapist who believes movement is pure magic—opening the door to exploration, independence, and the kind of confidence that sticks. After earning a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Western Carolina University, Marisa went on to become a board‑certified Pediatric Clinical Specialist, bringing both expertise and joy to every kiddo they work with. When not cheering on tiny triumphs in the clinic, Marisa can be found tackling CrossFit workouts, sipping something delicious at a local coffee shop, or wandering a farmer’s market in search of the perfect find. At home, they’re happily outnumbered by Piper the dog and Emmy the cat, who keep life lively in all the best ways.
