ABOUT - MARISHA DOAN MOVEMENT & WELLNESS

I have studied and shared my passion for the creative arts, movement, food and wellness for over 20 years. I have worked in movement studios, for arts non-profits, and for Tomatero organic farm operating farm stands at local and regional farmer’s markets. I have grown my teaching over the years to include group and one-on-one work through yoga, Pilates mat and machine, and nutritional health coaching. I have co-created material for and taught in yoga teacher trainings and wellness group programs. I carry a wealth of hands-on experience through my many years as a mover and healer helping students and clients reach their goals.

My health journey over the last few years has been humbling as I have met a variety of unfolding challenges: Covid and the pandemic, chronic postpartum woes including diastasis recti and Pelvic floor dysfunction, aging and perimenopause, and a bike accident that led to invasive plate-and-screw surgery to my right elbow. The stress and strain and uneven recovery from all of these things has left me with, among other things, a softer and more accepting heart. What I have lost in bodily strength and function, I have gained in compassion, perspective and the ability to truly teach to all levels.
