Marissa Powers | About Me
Thank you for visiting! The opportunity to be your coach and support you on your journey for enhanced well-being is an irreplaceable experience. As I approach each client with support and curiosity, I become equipped to help you in generating sustainable lifestyle changes. I believe that through a collaborative, holistic approach, combined with evidence-based strategies, everyone has the potential to reach their personal wellness goals.
I am a National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach and hold a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University, a Master of Science in Health Sciences from James Madison University and I am a graduate of the Health & Wellness Coaching Academy. With over 15 years of experience in leadership, nutrition, and business coaching, I am excited to combine my academic background, credentials, and professional expertise to guide clients on their health and wellness journeys toward their best selves.
The coaching process is both incredible and rewarding. Watching clients come to coaching with the desire to make changes—and then discovering their inner strengths and resources—is a powerful and motivating experience.
A Philadelphia native, I currently reside in Northern Virginia with my husband, two daughters, and my black lab mix. My best free time is spent watching football, cooking, and enjoying community activities with my family.

Am I the right coach for you?
While I am happy and qualified to support many on their journey to high level wellness, I specialize in supporting women in their 30's & 40's who are busy professionals and moms, trying to juggle it all.
Are you settling for house wide piles of unsorted, possibly dirty, slightly damp laundry? Are you serving dino nuggets and veggie straws to the kids- because it's not McDonald's and it has the word veggie in it? Is your dinner just a late-night snack after a glass of wine or two? Do you have chronic pain or stress from the never-ending dishes, work demands, and extracurricular activities? Do you have zero time to do anything for yourself- and feel isolated, trying to get out of your hamster wheel?
Now, imagine I stick my foot in that hamster wheel, brought it to a stop, took your hand and helped you off. I guide you to a place where you are present and mindful, free from pain and overwhelm. You are thrilled to be serving the best and most healthful meals to your family that they love. You no longer suffer from "is this clean?" laundry syndrome, OR you still do, but it bothers you less. You have prioritized your health and your wellness, and it is paying off in ways you never imagined.
How about setting up a commitment free consultation- right now- to see if health coaching is right for you? I see your best self- and she's not very far away.
Disclaimer: Upon beginning coaching people may ask if you're pregnant. It is common to confuse the pregnancy glow with the Powers Health Coaching glow.
