After meeting Reverend Kate Rodger in 2002, Marisa started on the path of the Modern Day Priestess® via regular attendance of monthly Feminine Energy Circles, private study, and travel on Sacred Journeys led by Rev. Kate.  In 2008, Marisa completed the Modern Day Priestess® Training, incorporating what she learned, remembered, deepened, and strengthened into her life as a mother, actor, teacher, and volunteer.

In 2004 Marisa and her husband moved their family to magical Ojai, CA because they were drawn to the energetic vortex of this special town. Raising their two boys in the sweet community with the small-town feel, they enjoy many family outdoor activities and wonderful community relationships.

Marisa and her two boys are professional actors working in the Los Angeles area – and, while the commute may be a little more than average, they feel returning to the haven that Ojai is balances the many stresses that can accompany one working in the entertainment industry.

As the property manager for the Ojai Love Center, Marisa is only half a mile away and loves tending to the home and land with its natural beauty. “There is such a sense of serenity the minute you enter the property… You will find yourself immediately exhaling any stress and inhaling the peace that surrounds you…   The Ojai Love Center invites you to enjoy feeling centered, as your body and soul instinctively and naturally move into easier pace.”   This is precisely why Marisa and her family continue to choose to live in Ojai, and she invites everyone to come and experience this extraordinary beauty for themselves.
