PRACTITIONER SPOTLIGHT
One in a Q&A series introducing the talented practitioners who make Boketto so special. Meet Marisa Manriquez:
What got you into your field?
Craniosacral Therapy has helped me at critical healing moments in my life. One of those was postpartum, when my son received an infant session that resolved his feeding and digestive issues. That experience became the catalyst for my training as a practitioner.
Share your one-sentence elevator pitch?
Through presence and listening touch, I help you reset your nervous system and embrace a fuller expression of your health and humanity.
If you weren’t doing this, what would you do/be?
I would be growing a garden, homeschooling my son, and making more art.
Your Memoir’s title?
Between Worlds: Learning to Listen When the Body Speaks
If you had an entire day free with no limits, how would you spend it?
I’d be at remote natural hot springs in a granite-bouldered valley with a cool river running through it.
What was your latest adventure?
Moving to the middle of nowhere in the mountains of West Virginia.
Who would you have over for dinner and what would you serve?
I’d gather friends from far away at the sea and serve fresh-caught fish and seafood, vegetables from our garden, and home-baked bread.
Most memorable thing a teacher has shared with you?
The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.
Most memorable thing a client has shared with you?
When a client tells me they feel safe enough to come back into their body after trauma.
Window or aisle?
Window.
10am or 10pm?
10 PM—I’ve smudged, journaled, set my intentions for the next day, and it’s lights out! That’s the goal, anyway! ;)
