Personal Details

Bio

Marrisa Axelrod is a transformational speaker, Integrative Wellness Coach, and cancer survivor with 24+ years of sobriety. A registered nurse with a Master’s in Public Health, she has spent over two decades on the frontlines—serving unhoused communities, supporting cancer survivors, and guiding women through life’s most painful transitions.

Her story is one of radical resilience: addiction, cancer, pregnancy loss, heartbreak, and the path to healing. Marrisa now uses her voice to ignite growth, offering science-backed, soul-led tools like breathwork, Reiki, and mindset work. She’s spoken to audiences as large as 900+, led hundreds of workshops and panels, and brings truth, healing, and transformation to every stage she steps on.

The Resilient Nurse:

The Resilient Nurse: Prioritizing Self-Care for Personal and Professional Well-Being

Unfiltered: The Raw Reality of Addiction and the Power to Rise

In this honest and heart-opening talk, Marrisa shares her real-life journey growing up in a loving home and stepping into heroin addiction and homelessness then finding her way to healing, recovery, and purpose. Speaking directly to teens with unflinching truth and deep compassion, she sheds light on the choices and consequences she endured, and the courage it takes to rebuild a life. This is more than a story—it’s a reminder that no matter how far you fall, there’s always a way back.
