I envision a world where the spaces we are a part of facilitate connection, affirmation, and change in alignment with our values.

I founded Marisa Ramirez Coaching & Consulting to co-create with leaders, teams, and organizations to design collaborative, equitable, and affirming spaces as well as partner with individuals to connect more deeply to their own power. As a consultant, I nerd out on all things experience design because I know how important feeling a sense of belonging is to our ability to connect, grow, and have transformational impact. I ground my approach in practices of emergent strategy and liberatory design centering equity and inclusion while drawing on my experiences as a non-profit leader, educator, and facilitator.

As a healing-centered coach, I ground my practice in deep listening and the building of awareness that supports coachees to move in more aligned ways. I have 15 years of experience designing, facilitating, and leading teams, programs, trainings, and retreats. I am currently working with a range of consulting and coaching clients in the social justice and social impact sectors. I am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and was trained through Blooming Willow, an ICF accredited coaching program, hold a Master’s of Education from Arizona State University and a Bachelor’s of Sociology from Boston College.

Participating in trainings and programs are an important element of my commitment to growth and development. Most recently, I have completed Strozzi Institute’s Embodied Transformation course, The Emergent Strategy Institute facilitator’s training, Blooming Willow’s Coaching Conductor Certification Program, and National Equity Project’s Liberatory Design Course.
