DNS gave me my life back.💫

Thirteen years ago, I was walking the hills of San Francisco—learning how to move differently, how to truly connect with my body. Those long walks became my classroom. DNS wasn’t just a technique; it was a lifeline.

Now I’m back in this city, running through the same spots—this time with my daughters. 👟💨 Watching them laugh and move beside me, I feel strong, free, alive.

What a joy it is to share this with them. 🤍

Vote for Synergy Studio for Pilates/Massage in the Best of South Sound! 🏆

https://www.votesouthsound.com
(It’s under Health & Beauty > Yoga/Pilates.)

Synergy is a co-op of Pilates instructors, massage therapists, and an esthetician—a wonderful team of thoughtful professionals and clients, beautiful art, and the nicest reformers you can find (including mine!). It’s truly a dream.

Brilliant Backs has been operating out of Synergy since it opened almost a year ago. Here, I get to offer workshops, reformer classes, individual sessions, and massages—in a beautiful private treatment room or out on the equipment or large open space.

To be able to transform lives in all the ways I want without sacrificing time away from my young kids (as I would have to if Brilliant Backs had its own location) means everything to me.

I’m so happy to be here. 😄

You can vote daily until 5/9!

How does crawling (and its variations) help with scoliosis and spinal health? 🤔🌀

When you use points of support—like your hands, knees, and feet—you can better influence the spine. 🖐️🦵🦶 The muscle pull naturally moves toward the support points. Instead of tensing inward toward the spine, the body opens outward, which supports deeper stabilization and healthy spinal rotation. 🌟💪

In all the scoliosis courses I’ve taken over the years, I’ve felt nothing that truly affects the spine like DNS does. 🙌✨

If you have scoliosis, it’s also important to check your visual system 👀, vestibular system 🎯, and leg length—all of which play a major role in guiding spinal rotation.

Shani came in with pain running all along her right side—from her foot to her shoulder—so intense it was hard to breathe. 😕

After one DNS session, everything shifted and she noticed a real difference. Now she feels stronger through her pelvic floor, has more energy, less tension, and most importantly—more confidence heading into birth. 🤍

This work isn’t just about relieving pain (though that’s a huge part of it). It’s about helping women feel powerful, supported, and at home in their bodies in every phase of life.

I had to share this sweet note from a client—it filled my heart. 🤍

"Marisa is amazing and really knows her stuff. Can’t recommend her enough. She’s really helped me with pain throughout my body (not just lower back) both pre and postnatally... She's a back whisperer."

Helping people feel better in their bodies—especially through big transitions like pregnancy and postpartum—is one of the reasons why I love this work. 💕

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or just want your back to feel better—we’ve got a spot for you. 💫 See the schedule here: www.brilliantbacks.com

Spring brings fresh energy—and for me, a wave of memories. This time of year, I was pregnant with my first biological daughter, after a long and winding journey to get there.

Now, I get to support other mamas through their own journeys with prenatal DNS.

🤰 New Class Alert!

I'm excited to introduce Prenatal DNS—a gentle, powerful way to support your body through every stage of pregnancy.

Prenatal DNS is designed to help women find strength, ease, and support throughout pregnancy—especially if you're dealing with back pain, pelvic or groin discomfort, or tired, achy joints like hips, knees, and feet.

This approach gently reactivates your body’s deep internal support system. When that foundation is working well, overworked muscles like your low back extensors, glutes, hip flexors, and inner thighs can stop compensating—and return to their real job: powering your movement with stability and ease.

✨ Why try Prenatal DNS?
Improved natural postural support and alignment
Enhanced stability and balance
More efficient movement and functional strength
Relief from common pregnancy discomforts
Better preparation for labor and delivery
Smoother postpartum recovery
