Episode 50: Marisa Skolky

In this episode, Bill and Marty welcome guest Marisa Skolky, a transformational doula, expressive arts facilitator, and psychedelic integration coach who blends IFS-informed work, somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and reiki. Marissa shares her origin story as a highly sensitive person, her lifelong struggle with eating disorders, and a turning point when severe illness led her to a three-month sabbatical in Mexico and an iboga experience that reset her nervous system and prompted her to leave a corporate insurance career. About Marisa: Marisa Skolky is a seasoned transformation doula, expressive arts facilitator & psychedelic integration coach, specializing in trauma-informed integration of non-ordinary states of consciousness. Her work weaves IFS-informed expressive arts, somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and Reiki into a cohesive psycho-spiritual model for preparation, harm reduction, and integration. With over a decade of experience, Marisa supports individuals in safely exploring consciousness, releasing trauma held in the body, and reclaiming their creative life force as a path to healing and self-discovery. Her approach honors the nervous system, the wisdom of the psyche, and the intelligence of the soul, bridging ancient shamanic ways with modern therapeutic frameworks. Marisa believes healing is a birthright and that through embodied creativity, compassionate witnessing, and intentional integration, profound and lasting transformation is possible.
