Hi! I’m Marisa…
I approach the healing arts with integrity, compassion, intention, and years of experience as a guide, facilitator, and multidisciplinary practitioner through my work at The Harmony Lab (est. 2012) and Kambo Care (est. 2016). Following a decade in the video game biz and twenty years as a DJ in NYC, buildup became burnout, and that burnout became the doorway.
My path with higher-consciousness plants and medicines began in the early 90s, but the roots go back. I’ve been tuned into other realms and extra-sensory perception since I was little, always drawn to the unseen and the intelligence of Spirit, the elementals, and more. That curiosity shaped everything: my understanding of energy, my relationship with life, and my love of letting go to let more resonance in.
In 2012, my path shifted again when I entered my first limpia. Sudden, unexpected, and completely catalytic. Dieta became the structure that refined my walk, deepened my relationship with Life, and anchored a discipline of Self that continues to guide me. That same chapter pushed me abroad. I moved to Central America and helped co-create a farm, community and retreat center in Costa Rica that became a living extension of my healing path. The land, the people, and the way Life cultivated there deepened everything, my dieta work, my connection with the plants, and my capacity to hold space. Following that, I was led to Kambô in 2015, in the most unexpected, magical way, despite being in the middle of a traumatic chapter.(more below)
My initial Kambo studies with Curandero Don J. was deepened in a meridian focused apprenticeship with Kambo and Iboga Master, G. Lattanzi. I have also been blessed to connect with members of the Matsés community through Bryce’s former work, where so much of our medicine has been sourced with care. In addition to Frog work, I studied the art of mycelium and cacao in Mexico and Guatemala, where I lived and learned for many years in a Kaqchikel community on Atitlán before returning to the United States in 2020.
I give great thanks to have experienced the grace and wisdom from so many other precious shamans, healers, and elders.
Throughout the years, I have guided and inspired hundreds of humans through their healing journeys, facilitating transformative experiences in both virtual and in-person settings both thru Kambo Care and The Harmony Lab. My world is rooted in a commitment to help people release blocks and limiting beliefs while equipping them with new tools.
My practice is grounded in Vibrational Wellness and shaped by years of training across holistic health, sound, and personal optimization. Detox, low-tox living, energetic hygiene, and limpia practices form the backbone of how I support the body and biofield, helping people clear the noise and return to their own rhythm. With a background in Health Counseling and Wellness Coaching, Nāda Sound Yoga, and Energetics, I weave together accuracy, integrity, and genuine care.
If we want to see real shift in this world, it first begins within. The time is now…
