This is
my story

Hello, beautiful souls!
​
I’m Marisa, the oldest of five, raised by a single mom and shaped by a childhood full of challenges. My journey took a dark turn when I was adopted by a man who became my third predator. That’s where my real story begins. In the shadows of a complicated childhood, I learned about betrayal, survival, and what it meant to find my place in the world.
As I grew up, I learned to use people as a way to protect myself. It was a skill I developed just to get by, but it left me feeling empty and disgusted with who I was. By my mid-20s, I reached a breaking point. I knew it was time to surrender not only to God but, to also let go of everything and face myself. That’s when I discovered something life-changing: the real battle wasn’t with the world, but with myself.
The turning point came at a house party. I met a woman who awakened something in me I thought was lost. She helped me remember the gifts I had buried deep inside. In 2016, on a night when I felt completely alone, my prayers were answered. But it wasn’t until 2020 that I finally embraced Sage—the version of me who could stand in truth and live in power.
This journey has been one of deep transformation. When I went through my divorce, it brought me even closer to myself—mind, body, and spirit. I’ve come to see that the people in our lives, whether romantic or not, are here to challenge us and help us see who we really are. Every relationship, every experience, is a chance to grow. I’m beyond grateful for everyone who has been part of my life. Without them, I wouldn’t be the mother, friend, or mentor I am today.
To those I’ve hurt, I’m sorry. I hope the role I played in your life helped you in some way. And to those who’ve hurt me, thank you. You taught me how to love myself.
I believe we’re all here to help each other. As Ram Dass said, “We are all walking each other home.” Every person we meet reflects a part of us—showing us what needs love, healing, and care.
I’m here to walk this journey with you, to help you uncover the beauty of who you are, and to grow together in love and understanding.






Being a mother is my whole life
I have a disrespectful obsession with plants
My fur babies Bagheera & Togo
Earthing is my element
Challenges + Surrender + Self-Discovery = Sage's Journey
I would love to ...

Have a Homestead
I want to have a garden with lots of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, along with some animals.

Learn the Violin
I've always been fond of string instruments, but I consider the violin my weak spot. However, I'm determined to master it and play beautifully one day.

Live in the jungle
A part of my heart belongs to Panama. After hosting a retreat there, I fell in love with the place, and I envision it as my eventual resting spot.

With divine energy,
Sage
