You want to...
Every Advantage Within Your Control
Know you’re tapping into every possible advantage to climb the depth chart, outplay your competition, stay available through February, and maximize your years in the league.
Reset. Next Play.
Be down 21, drop a ball, take a cheap shot, or get screwed by a bad call — and still reset in seconds, get out of your head, and execute the next play.
Still Have Your Legs in the Fourth
Catch your breath between plays and still have your legs in the fourth quarter — while the guy across from you is bent over, hands on his knees.
Stay Available
Recover faster from hits, avoid nagging injuries, and stay active on Sundays — instead of wondering whether your body will hold up for another season.
Shut It Down
Land in a hotel bed after a night game, shut your brain off in minutes, sleep deeply, and wake up to a green Whoop instead of replaying every mistake until 3am.
Become the Clutch Guy
Become the guy coaches trust when the game is on the line - building the consistency, resilience, and reputation to pull more money, longer contracts, and the freedom to stay in the city you and your family love.
Squatting 400+, adding sprints and JUGS reps, showing up at 5am — yet 39 minutes in, you’re hunched over gasping for air, your legs are jelly, and your back is burning.
Your recovery is dialed in — massage, ice baths, Normatec, red light, stretching, Eight Sleep — yet soreness lingers, your hips tighten up, and you’re wondering why you’re not bouncing back like your teammates.
You’re checking every box you know to stand out and level up, but you’re not getting the results you want.
I’ve seen this gap between muscle and mindset training, firsthand...
As a Breathing and Regulation Coach who has worked with dozens of NFL and MLB athletes and was married to a pro rugby player, here’s what I know:
At this level, the difference between the guy earning the multi-million-dollar contract and the guy fighting for his roster spot usually isn’t another bench press, sprint, or hour in the weight room.
It’s Composure. Focus.
Self-Control. Reliability.
I’ve seen the impact of better breathing play out in weeks: athletes sleeping better, improving Whoop recovery metrics, thinking clearer, and navigating the highest-pressure moments of their careers — from training camp to the Super Bowl.
And your breathing is intertwined with all of it — how you respond to pressure, recover, think clearly, and hold up when the game gets tough.
Breathing is one of the most overlooked, trainable advantages in elite performance
My background in psychology, nervous system regulation, and functional breathing has shown me just how much it can influence your health, consistency, earning potential, and career longevity.
The player who doesn't unravel
01.
Down 21, bad call, dropped ball, hostile crowd — know exactly what to do to reset you body, clear your head, and get back into flow state for the next play like nothing happened.
The guy with another gear when everyone's gassed,
02.
While the guy across from him is bent over gasping, he's already caught his breath and ready to blow by him again.
The athlete who's harder to break down.
03.
Faster bounce-back from hits and active on Sundays instead of on the injury report because he's balanced his nervous system to spend more time in recovery mode.
The guy who sleeps on command.
04.
He can land in a hotel bed after a night game, breathe his mind quiet while it's still replaying the tape, and be out cold in minutes instead of staring at the ceiling till 3am.
The player who's harder to take off the field.
05.
The guy the coordinator doesn't think twice about putting in during the biggest series of the game, because he knows how to reset his biological stress response and stay composed when everyone else is unraveling.
The athlete who knows how to recover anywhere.
06.
Home, facility, team plane, hotel room, locker room stall — he doesn't need a single piece of equipment to shift his body out of performance mode and into recovery.
The player coaches don't have to worry about.
07.
No red-zone penalty because he lost his cool. No shoving match after the whistle. No mistake from two plays ago still eating at him on the next snap.
The player whose career creates options for his life.
08.
Because his stats are consistent and he's built a reputation for being reliable. More money. Longer contracts. Staying in the city his family already loves instead of chasing another one-year deal somewhere else.
Tangible Results. On and Off the Field.
Pro Volleyball Player
After just 3 weeks of working with Marisa my stress score on my wearable went from 80-29%. I’ve been able to stay calm instead of snapping at my partner and I signed a new contract in the middle of my injury rehab for more money, because I’ve been able to stay focused, confident, and positive.
NFL Player
The exercises you gave me are working really well. I'm definitely noticing a difference in how I feel and how I play. Instead of snoring and waking up feeling tired, I feel rested and mentally ready for the day. My recovery score has remained green even with the higher intensity days of training camp.
NFL Player
I hit my highest HRV yet, I'm sleeping better, waking up to green recovery scores on my Whoop, feeling rested. The breathing exercises have been really easy to build into my training and recovery routine. During the stress of traing camp, the breathing helped me stay calm and focused.
MLB Medical Coordinator
Marisa's guided breathwork, and visualization sessions with our rehabbing MLB players brought a new unique and valuable dimension to their recovery. The players responded well, many of them able to feel truly relaxed and excited about the future for the first time during rehab journey.

Before you say yes...
I know what you're thinking...
Being highly conditioned doesn't automatically mean you're breathing efficiently. You can be incredibly fit and still have dysfunctional breathing patterns, poor CO₂ tolerance, inefficient mechanics, excessive breathlessness, or difficulty downregulating after competition. This is about optimizing a system you're already using every second you train, recover, sleep, and play.
Not much. You'll start with short, small, targeted changes to your breathing at rest, outside of training, but the goal is to integrate your breathing into what you're already doing — lifting, conditioning, practice, recovery, sleep, travel, and competition — not give you another hour of homework every day.
Yes. This work is designed to complement the training and care you already receive — not compete with it. Your breathing protocols can be integrated around your existing strength, conditioning, practice, rehab, recovery, and competition schedule.
That's one of the primary goals. You'll learn how to use your breathing differently depending on what you need — recover between bouts of exertion, manage breathlessness, settle adrenaline, reset after a mistake, sharpen focus, or downregulate afterward.
Absolutely. I have worked with pro athelte clients from Arizona to the Dominican, to Boston, all virtually with great results, transforming their sleep, stress, and performance in not only weeks, but with some clients, in days. However, if you truly prefer to work together in person, I offer private concierge services and intensives, traveling to select clients for a more hands-on experience.
Your landing place for the most overlooked advantage in performance, recovery, and inner peace: regulation.
Guided breathwork and state-shifting meditations to help you manage stress, regulate adrenaline, recover more fully, and minimize your lose-your-sh*t moments—on the field, in the boardroom, and beyond.
Just five minutes can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded.
