There are few female speakers today who can claim the wide expertise and profound audience reach of Marisa Peer. With nearly three decades of work as a therapist behind her—helping rock stars, royalty, Olympians, and leading CEOs overcome phobias, addiction, childhood traumas, and relationship problems – Marisa has an unparalleled ability to connect with each of her audience members on an individual level.
Marisa’s own life story is proof of what serves as her message: that the thoughts and words we choose have a direct impact on how our lives play out. After being told in school she was inept and would never amount to anything, Marisa went on to become the top trainer at the renowned Pineapple Dance studio in both London and New York and then worked for Jane Fonda in Los Angeles at the height of the fitness craze. Using her firm belief that the body does precisely what the mind tells it to, Marisa had her daughter after numerous specialists insisted she would never get pregnant. She also used this same philosophy to overcome two life-threatening illnesses and has helped many people do the same.
In the speaking realm, Marisa has given motivational lectures all over the world to an array of companies and organizations including Disney, Canon, Bauer Media, Hachette publishing, and several Cambridge Colleges. Her unique talk ‘How to Mastermind Your Life in 9 Easy Steps’ uses techniques including visualisation, affirmations, and positive metaphors to instill in her audience extraordinary self- belief and unrelenting confidence in their abilities. Marisa is able to bring her reputation for curing her patients in just one session to her speaking engagements. Audiences are frequently left feeling transformed and with a radically different outlook on their lives.
Her accolades include being listed in Tatler’s Guide to Britain’s 250 Best Practitioners, being the only woman included in Men’s Health’s “Best of British” list, and listed as the leading practitioner for mental health in London’s Time Out Guide. Her bestselling books have been translated into Swedish, German, Icelandic, and Korean, with her “Ultimate Confidence” title being used as a core curriculum component in the Korean education system.
On top of these literary successes, Marisa has also appeared behind and in front of the camera on major television shows such as Supersize versus Superskinny, Celebrity Fit Club UK and USA, Football Saved my Life and I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. She has given her expert advice and opinions on UK news outlets including Sky News, BBC News, ITV News, Channel 4 News as well as news programs in Japan, Dubai, Spain, America, and Scandinavia.
