MEET YOUR PROVIDERS
Maryanne Fisco, MA, NCC,
LPC, EMDR-T
Maryanne Fisco graduated with her M.A. in Counseling from The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in 2017 and went straight into a passion project providing international counseling and philanthropy work in the Philippines before moving to the Western Slope of Colorado. She has served as a school counselor in Delta county for a few year before discovering deeper purpose in individual and group therapy.
Her therapeutic approach consists of a holistic lens making sure to pay close attention to her clients needs, as well as, honoring observations that can help their overall healing. She utilizes non-traditional approaches like tarot card reading, guided journey work, nature based somatic work, and animal assisted therapy in her sessions. She speaks from the heart providing deeper understanding through Ayurveda, visuals, explaining avoidant/anxious attachment, and the exploration of one's inner world.
Mind and body connection is an important pillar of Maryanne's work with clients. She believes that through nature and animals, one can learn to self regulate in returning to their parasympathetic nervous system. In the case of highly triggering events, Maryanne utilizes EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) as a tool to assist her clients in processing the event effectively.
Ayurveda is another pillar of how Maryanne can assist in her clients healing. She is an accomplished 1st year graduate of Ayurvedic Medicine from the esteemed Dr. Vasant Lad's, The Ayurvedic Institute in Asheville, NC. While Ayurveda offers psychological and spiritual assistance, Maryanne offers Ayurvedic consultations for clients looking to focus on shifting their lifestyle to a more wholesome package of healing.
Her passion is rooted in drawing out the true nature of how relationships interact through the lens of her clients. She respects the complexity of unique human experiences and is driven to support her clients in gaining an empowered understanding of their lives.
An outdoor enthusiast with nature based modalities, Maryanne enjoys a variety of recreational activities like horseback riding, fishing or floating the many rivers of the Western Slope, hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing. Among these hobbies, Maryanne is on volunteer staff with Casting For Recovery. a Non-profit organization that supports the livelihood and wellness of women who have or are recovering from breast cancer through fly fishing. She is part of the all women team for the Western Slope chapter since 2023.
Katherine Collins, LMT,
YTT 500
Connection. Purpose. Passion. Katherine lives to constantly bring those 3 key elements into her life every day. Her goal is to help others do the same. She started her career in the veterinary field and right away, felt a call to action. Witnessing the constant heart pull and strength that it takes to make an impact in that industry, she began to see that a true voice needed to be heard, not in just the veterinary field, but everywhere that people pour their passion and purpose into their work.
As empowering and filling as that can be, if we don’t purposefully create balance for ourselves, our own drive can eat us alive and send us straight into losing connection with the most cherished parts of ourselves.
In 2014, Kat found herself exactly there, burned out and unfulfilled. That’s when she found yoga. “The mat is what brought me back to myself”. The moment when she decided to step out of her babbling mind and into the feeling of her body, was when her world finally opened.
WPW understands that not all healing takes place between 4 walls talking to a professional. Kat is a firm believer that nature is healing, and that we are each our own best healers.
Helping clients step out of their minds and tap back into their bodies is a powerful way to bring ourselves back to the present moment. As a licensed massage therapist, certified yoga teacher, with advanced credentials specializing in Kundalini, Ayurveda, moon cycles, and the Enneagram, and a certified Reiki practitioner, she offers various somatic therapy modalities to help facilitate multi level healing.
Her favorite part of the job is having the ability to infiltrate each individual in a personalized way. Whether it is creating the perfect yoga/therapy session, healing the body through massage, or simply connecting with the right literature, Katherine revels in embodying the space that is needed to heal and grow. She strives to encourage others to live whole heartedly and to embrace the innate power this earth holds for each of us.
Katherine lives in her dream place, on the western slopes of Colorado with her partner, 3 dogs, cat, and horses. She is thrilled to have the privilege of traveling the states, helping people re-discover their passion and re-define what it feels like for our passion and purpose to infiltrate our work.
If she’s not traveling, or actually, even if she is, in her free time you can find her outside, horseback riding, hiking, searching for any live music or fun art, and, of course, loving on all the pups!
