She is also a TRX-certified instructor, Certified for Barre Above, a Reiki Master and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.

Her journey with Pilates and fitness started over ten years ago and has expanded into something that resonates strongly with her, she is grateful to be able to share her love of Pilates with others. She believes everyone can benefit either mentally, physically, emotionally, or a combination of all three from a Pilates practice. The challenge comes in simply finding a way to integrate these movement philosophies and practices into every day life. Carissa loves being able to share experiences with future instructors; constantly learning new modalities of movement and healing and integrating this knowledge into her work with clients to help them move the best they can. Carissa taught movement for 13 years in Santa Cruz, California before moving to Denver in 2022. She loves working one on one with clients as well as teaching fun and challenging group classes. Carissa has a heart for working with clients who are post-rehab, pre/post-natal, diagnosed with neurological conditions, actively aging, and athletic.
