Dear Body: I Want to Be Friends
A 6-month journey to rebuild your relationship with your body, quiet the constant mental noise, and
finally feel at home in yourself.
For women who are ready to move beyond body criticism, food guilt and the endless search for ways to "fix" themselves and instead create a relationship with their body built on trust, compassion and freedom.
A Programme designed to support real, lasting change
This isn't about learning another set of rules or trying harder to become someone else.
Together, we explore the beliefs, patterns and experiences that have shaped your relationship with your body and create a new way forward built on trust, freedom and self-respect.
You won't just gain insight. You will have practical tools, guided support and a personalised pathway to help you integrate what you are learning into everyday life.
I truly believe you deserve to feel free in yourself and at home in your body.
And I'll be there to walk alongside you throughout that journey.
“I came to Marisa with a glimmer of hope that she could help me to connect with my body.
Today I can finally feel a shift, that I never thought would be possible.”

This programme is for the woman who is ready to stop fighting with her body and start creating a more peaceful relationship with herself.
This programme is for you if…
✓ You’re exhausted by how much mental space your body, food, or appearance takes up.
✓ You’ve tried diets, exercise, mindset work, or “just being more positive” but you still don’t feel at peace.
✓ You find yourself comparing, criticising, checking, or judging your body more often than you’d like.
✓ You want to understand why you feel this way, not just try another quick fix.
✓ You’re longing for practical support that helps you move forward, break free from old patterns, and create a different way of living.
✓ You’re ready to explore the deeper beliefs, patterns, and experiences shaping your relationship with your body.
✓ You want to feel more confident, free, and present in your life without waiting for your body to change first.
This might not be the right fit if…
✕ You’re looking for a quick fix or another set of rules to follow.
✕ Your main focus is weight loss or changing your appearance.
✕ You want someone to tell you exactly what to eat or how to exercise.
✕ You’re not ready to explore the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences influencing your relationship with your body.
your Body Peace Journey Includes:
Over 6 months you will receive the support, tools and guidance to help you create more peace in your body and around food:
Personalised 1:1 Coaching
11 x 75-minute coaching sessions thoughtfully spaced over 6 months
A deeply personalised space to uncover the patterns keeping you stuck, and create meaningful change with dedicated support.
The intentional spacing allows time to reflect, practise new tools, notice patterns as they arise, and integrate the work into everyday life
The Body Peace Method
My signature framework for body image healing
A clear pathway that guides you through understanding your body image story, rewiring
old patterns and creating a more peaceful relationship with yourself.
Between-Session Support
6 months of ongoing WhatsApp support
Guidance, reflection and support between sessions as you apply your learning in everyday life.
Because real-life moments don’t always happen when you have a session booked.
The Body Peace Workbook & Reflection Tools
An in-depth resource to deepen your body image healing journey
Your dedicated Body Peace Workbook is designed to support your journey beyond our coaching sessions. It provides space to explore, reflect and integrate the patterns, beliefs and experiences we uncover together giving you practical exercises, deeper insights and tools to support your progress throughout the programme.
Private Resource Library
Guided resources to support your ongoing practise
A collection of guided resources, meditations and practices to support your mind, body and nervous system throughout our work together.
Imagine six months from now...
Imagine waking up and your body isn't the first thing on your mind.
Imagine saying yes to the beach because your children want to make memories.
Imagine choosing clothes because they make you smile.
Imagine eating dinner with friends and remembering the conversation instead of everything you ate.
Imagine spending your energy building your life instead of managing your body.
This is what becomes possible when your body is no longer something you are constantly trying to manage.
Because peace with your body doesn’t come from fighting it harder.
It comes from understanding your relationship with it and intentionally creating something new.
Many women have spent years trying to change their bodies, control their thoughts, or “fix” themselves. But body image struggles are rarely just about appearance.
They are shaped by your experiences, beliefs, conditioning, relationships, emotions, nervous system, and the stories you have learned about yourself.
That’s why we don’t start with your body.
We start by understanding you.
This is not just a series of coaching sessions. t is a structured, supported space to create a different relationship with your body.
Rather than jumping from one session topic to the next, we follow a clear and intentional pathway that explores the key areas shaping your relationship with your body, while also making space for the parts that are completely unique to you.
Personalised support, built around you.
This is not a group programme where you receive general advice and hope it applies to your situation.
This is private, personalised 1:1 coaching where we can go beneath the surface and work with your individual challenges, your experiences, and the things showing up in your everyday life.
You will have dedicated support from me throughout your journey not only during our coaching sessions.
When old thoughts appear, when you feel triggered, or when you need support applying what we’re working on, you have a space to reach out and receive guidance along the way.
A structured pathway with space for your individual journey
Over six months, we move through a process designed to help you:
Understand your body image story and the patterns influencing it
Develop awareness and a kinder relationship with yourself
Rewire old beliefs and create emotional safety
Feel more confident, present and free in your everyday life
But this is not a one-size-fits-all process.
The framework gives us direction your individual journey determines where we go deeper.
Thank you for joining my world!
I’m Marisa, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a qualified, accredited coach — and someone who’s passionate about helping you bring joy and ease back into your life.
For years, I hated my body. I wasted time, energy, and my youth chasing a version of myself I could never quite attain. I know what it feels like to feel stuck, frustrated, and not “good enough” in your own skin.
It wasn’t until I started doing the inner work that I finally began to make peace with my body. Today, I accept — and sometimes even love — my body. I love food, movement, and life itself. And I know that all of this is possible for you too.
