“I am beyond thrilled to take this next step in my life. I’ve spent the last 10 years as Board President of Spirit’s Promise. While I will continue to volunteer with all of my heart in that role every day; Marisa’s allows me to grow as a small business owner, cancer survivor and life coach.” said Striano. “The pandemic has forced people to really look at their personal and professional lives, including myself. I want to do my part to do more for the world. While adhering to all of the mandated public health requirements, we plan to provide services that align with the demands of today’s environment.”

“Leaning into Grief is the first step in healing.” says Striano “Grief can sometimes feel like you are dragging a steamer trunk. Other times it is an overweight suitcase, a backpack, or a handbag. Lighter or heavier and no matter what you carry it in, it will always be with you. I want to help you carry that luggage together with you for your journey.”
