Marianne Tissot, MPH, Certified Wellness Coach
​
​
After years of seeing people around me trying to find way to address their mental health concerns and being met with barrier after barrier, I decided to build this platform and provide a space that is financially accessible, easy to use, quick to respond and safe to interact with.
​
I believe that no one should be at the mercy of their health insurance company when it comes to healing their mind . Folks shouldn't have to experience burned out providers, inconsistent care or services that are impossible to afford.
​
You are welcome here!

What I stand for...
I’m here for a future where thoughts of who we “should” be no longer hold us back.
I believe there is no way to be in a respectful, authentic, safe relationship with our partners, our families, our work environment and our vision of the future if we can’t establish a strong connection with our own bodies and minds.
I believe that our relationships with food, movement, love, family, self-image, sexuality and gender are all connected to how we lead our lives and the impact we have on those around us.
Limitations:
​
As a Wellness Coach, the scope of my work has limitations. I do not work with active eating disorders, substance abuse, or ongoing situations of intimate partner violence. This is not an emergency service, a substitute for medical or mental health advice, nor is it meant to support folks who are experiencing an acute crisis.
In addition to being a certified Health and Wellness coach, I am a trained psychologist with a Master’s degree in Sexual and Reproductive Health.
​
This is a HAES©-(HEALTH AT EVERY SIZE)-aligned, sex-positive, person-focused and trauma-informed coaching practice.
I work from a holistic, multidisciplinary approach, drawing elements from cognitive behavioral science, Attachment-based therapy, Coaching, Expressive arts therapy and motivational interviewing.
My Philosophy
It is not my job to tell you what to do or how to live. It IS my job to hold a safe space for your process, reflect what I’m seeing, ask questions to help you find your truth, reframe harmful thoughts and support you in your healing.
When I make recommendations, I’m adjusting for “does this feel true for you?” and if so, great! If not, my feedback goes out the door and we keep exploring.
The coaching space will be casual, kind and easy-going. You are free to say , think and share anything without fear. Children and pets are always welcome to sit with you or keep you company during sessions.
The coaching space is not a place for political correctness or self-censorship. You are free to arrive as you are, even if that means bringing some traditionally controversial or “problematic” thoughts.
I will not mock, pathologize, or belittle your hang-ups, fears, and challenges. I will make space for your specific needs and support you in living, loving and working true to yourself and your values.
I will tailor my approach specifically to every individual and their needs. We each have a different story and as such, I don’t practice a one-size-fits-all philosophy.
