Marisa is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) with over a decade of experience as a physical therapist. This advanced credential, earned by passing a rigorous national specialty exam, means she treats not only the pelvic floor but also the hips, spine, and core that work alongside it. With additional training in manual therapy, dry needling, and pelvic health, Marisa blends orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy to support women in Austin through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Marisa has experienced both a vaginal birth and a cesarean birth, so she knows firsthand how different each recovery can be. That personal insight helps her connect with patients on a deeper level and guide both vaginal and C-section recovery with confidence and compassion.

A former collegiate soccer player, Marisa is passionate about helping women feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies, whether that means lifting their little ones pain-free or getting back to running, training, or the sport they love.

Outside the clinic, she enjoys traveling, strength training, and spending time with her husband, two kids, and their pups.
