Marissa Vicario is a lover of all things health and wellness and the Founder of Marissa's Well-being and Health (MWAH!). As a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Marissa works with urban professionals who want to lose weight, control their cravings and feel more energized without dieting, deprivation or calorie-counting. After spending more than a decade as a junk food vegetarian, Marissa navigated her way to health while working in the corporate world, becoming an expert in balancing health and wellness with a demanding workload. She regularly lectures on wellness topics, teaches cooking classes and is a healthy lifestyles blogger and freelance writer.

Marissa received her training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she studied more than 100 different dietary theories from raw foods to the Zone under wellness professionals like Deepak Chopra, Dr. Mark Hyman, John Douilliard, David Wolfe and Dr. Joel Fuhrman. She is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and is a graduate of Northwestern University and New York University. Underlying all her work is a firm belief in motivating women to kick off their stilettos and break in their stove tops as a first step in adopting a healthier lifestyle and kissing unhealthy habits goodbye.
