“Marisa is committed to truly supporting anyone she works with. She has great authenticity, sincerity and a strong ability to help people. I have greatly appreciated her Reiki, hypnosis, & commitment to helping people see deeper layers of their issues. She is an example by walking her talk.”

“Thank you again for being so present and empathetic with my journey. I truly felt cared for, and I felt like you were anticipating even my subtlest needs. Thank you for working with me in spite of my reservations surrounding energy work.

I've been thinking that there have absolutely been lasting and positive changes for me. I feel as though a barrier or series of barriers has broken down for me - barriers preventing me from connecting with my feelings. Looking back to nearly my entire life before our journey, it seems as though I've always danced around the edges of my more painful and more meaningful feelings, and this journey for me was largely about surrendering, accepting, leaning into, and truly feeling.”

“Marisa’s Women’s Retreat was just what I needed: a safe environment with guidance, care, and compassion in which to explore and heal. Carefully planned activities were offered to deepen our experience, while we were allowed ample space for solitude and reflection if we chose not to participate. Marisa paid attention to every detail, from food, to sound, light, temperature, space, music, and more. Marisa and the facilitators were excellent resources with a wealth of knowledge of health and medicine-related issues. I appreciated that my many questions were met with generosity and knowledge.”

“After 12 years of being on antidepressants and ADHD meds, and still being depressed and barely able to get myself out of bed on the weekends,  I finally found the help that I have needed. Marisa is a gifted healer. She is a knowledgeable and loving person who will guide you through your healing process.  I have done both a one on one mushroom journey and a women’s plant medicine retreat with Marisa. I am so grateful for her guidance and the amazing improvements in my mental health.”

“Marisa has an intuitive touch that is guided by her instinct and years of practice. My experiences have always been beneficial with tangible results, but also mystically interactive in that she will move to a spot that I was just about to tell her about. Frankly, super science in my opinion. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking additional layers of healing.”

“I did a journey this weekend and it was wonderful. I asked the medicine to show me at birth and I saw myself. Actually gave birth to myself in a vision. I was just perfect and that little baby lives in me now. I feel changed. Highly recommend Marisa Skolky and her somatic healing services.”

Rae N.

“Thank you SO MUCH to this sweet lady! I am going to start honoring my feelings and body awareness. I had always pushed away learning to sit, feel, accept, and receive. Thank you for helping me start new practices and healthy habits. I am really realizing how numb I was and am grateful to be able to feel deeply without running away.”

“The time spent outside really worked well for me/my nervous system! I loved being by the fire, walking amongst the woods. It was really special to witness so many first times for others at the retreat - it was a beautiful reminder of how far I’ve come on my own healing journey. I LOVED the ecstatic dance! I also really appreciated having my own room with a window :) Thank you for facilitating a wonderful weekend.”

“After reflecting more on my journey experience this weekend, medicine shows me how beautiful life is. To get out and experience the richness of it. What a lovely way to end this year and bring in the next. I’m looking forward to seeing the veil pulled back even further over the weeks ahead. You’ve a captivating spirit and venerable soul. I’m so grateful to be part of this women’s group receiving your special gifts and gentle guidance.”

“I just had a wonderful holistic healing session with Marisa. I am fascinated by her expertise in so many diverse healing modalities and ability to pull from each one as it makes the most sense for the moment. The last time we had a session, she guided me through some emotional processing and did an amazing Reiki session with me on a biomat. I felt so much relief and openness to possibilities after that session where before I was feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Today we did an Internal Family Systems exercise where I connected with my inner procrastinator and through her gentle guidance with somatic awareness and thoughtful questions and suggestions, I was able to transform this contracting fearful personality into a rainbow Phoenix rising from the fire ready to create healthy boundaries for me to fully express my gifts in a safe and contained way, which is what this part of my personality wants for me and is capable of doing when I trust her and emPower her. I hope to do more sessions with Marisa. She has great intuition and discipline to be able to see through to the heart of the matter. I respect how she has selflessly dedicated herself to this path of helping others on their healing path, trusting her own inner guidance and intuition. Her bravery and self worth inspire me to step up in my own self mastery. I am so glad to know Marisa and be a part of her Beyond Limits community.”

“Marisa has been sent by the Universe to be a big part of my healing journey. I have already recommended her to multiple friends. She cultivates both a safe and brave space. She provides support that is obviously intuitively guided. She does her own work so she can do the best in her work with others. The best compliment I can give her is that I trust her with my spirit, and that’s the highest compliment I could give anyone. I’m grateful for various ceremonies and conversations and would encourage anyone to speak with her about her offerings and how she can be of assistance on their journey.”

“I had an incredible hour-long session with Marisa recently. Her unique combination of Reiki, brainwave entraining glasses, and the incredible work of "Internal Family Systems" blended together to create a safe, gentle, relaxing, and powerful session. That one session has already helped me to access greater insight into the core of a long-standing issue I have been dealing with for most of my life. We are just getting started with the IFS process, and I'm more hopeful about my ability to effectively work with and lovingly transform this issue than I have been in a long time. This kind of work with Marisa is much more powerful for me than hours worth of talk therapy. I am very grateful and excited.

I have only been working with Marisa for a short while, and already I am so happy with my experience and results. For a long time now I have felt blocked creatively in my life and didn't know how to break out of that stuck place. Marisa offers so many different ways of accessing those stuck places inside me as well as tapping into my inner creativity and passion. I feel very safe with her, understood, supported, never judged, and always encouraged with the most loving and joyful energy. I am really looking forward to working with her more in the coming year.
