Your first session with Marisa
Marisa's main goal with her initial sessions is to understand you in multiple areas i.e. lifestyle, habits, schedule, activity and sleep. Thus making sure she gets a big snapshot of what you are currently doing. With this information she will collaborate with you to create short term and long term goals and steps to achieve each one of them.
