Marisa Peer

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 direct proof of what serves as her main 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 physically 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 Phaedra after numerous specialists insisted she would never get pregnant. She also used this very same philosophy to overcome two life-threatening illnesses and has helped many people do the same.

Marisa has given motivational lectures around the world where she uses techniques including visualisation, affirmations, and positive metaphors to instill in her audience extraordinary self- belief and unrelenting confidence in their abilities. Most impressively, 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. The Academy of Chief Executives and the Women in Media Conference both voted Marisa best speaker in 2008 and 2009.

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, she has also written a bestselling book “Ultimate Confidence”.

Marisa has appeared behind and in front of the camera on the TV shows ‘Supersize versus Superskinny’, ‘Celebrity Fit Club UK and USA’ 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.

“I am Controller of Entertainment for ITV, the largest channel in the United Kingdom. I first met Marisa Peer in a professional capacity over twelve years ago, having been to see her for therapy. Since then, I have enthusiastically referred hundreds of people to her for therapy and amongst those recommendations have been many international celebrities. Because of my job and my high regard for her brilliant ability to change people’s lives, I also gave her a significant role in one of my programmes, Celebrity Fit Club, where she worked with ten celebrities over a four month period and achieved extraordinary results. She is internationally considered to be the best in her field and people travel from all over the world to seek her help. She’s the only professional I know of who has the ability to help such a wide assortment of problems and achieve dramatic and lifelong changes. It is with great confidence professionally and personally to recommend Marisa’s extraordinary ability.” CONTROLLER OF ENTERTAINMENT – ITV

“Marisa Peer received her training Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy at the Hypnotism Training Institute of Los Angeles
located in Glendale on August 23, 1985, and completed her certification program on September 02, 1988. In the ensuing years, I
had the opportunity to have the pleasure of Marisa’s attendance at specialized training programs I presented in the United Kingdom and the United States.I can confirm her commitment and continuing evolution and specialized knowledge she has developed. She began moulding the field of hypnotherapy/psychotherapy into something much greater than it had ever been. Her brilliance goes far beyond her early instinctive recognition and integrates many of the most profound insights in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. What has emerged is an incredible effectiveness and is one of a few in history to have had a profound impact on the field of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.”
