Soul Story
“I would recommend Soul Story for any woman who is looking for clarity because of fear or complexity in life, or complications with nature and nurture in your upbringing, or if you have complex family or multiple cultural lines. This was very clarifying and empowering for me.”
Malia Martin, Travel Industry Specialist
“Before joining Soul Story, I was more distant in my relationships with my matriarchal line than I currently am. Now I have a deeper connection, not only to my own line, but to those who have mothered me in significant ways, and I carry that strength and that power with me as a result of being in Soul Story.”
Sonya Nagy, Soul & Money Mentor
“I recommend Soul Story for any woman who is ready to reclaim her own voice and to step forward in a more powerful way, and to just embrace and claim her own life.”
Rebeka Dávila, Content Strategist
“One of the things that really surprised me about this process is I do now have this much more of an open channel to hearing and digesting these past experiences coming through in words that are from me today rather than from me back in the past. And that's a profound and meaningful shift.”
Patricia Reddish, Money Relationship Coach for Business Owners
“I've spent a lot of time digging my own crap. And so instead of focusing on me and what I went through, taking a look at them and what they went through gave me a different perspective on it.”
Cheri Andrews, Small Business Attorney
"Through the process of Soul Story, I've discovered that especially when it comes to my business, I have been living inside other people’s comfort zones. It is easier for me to live in my voice in my personal relationships, and this experience is showing me I have the power to learn to live out loud in my business, too!"
- Laurie Cressman Mayville, Independent Elite Team Leader, Mary Kay Cosmetics
Speaking & Coaching
"Marissa’s workshop was exactly the grounding I didn’t know I needed. She doesn’t just inspire — she gives you something to do with it. The journal prompts were thoughtful, clarifying, and surprisingly powerful. I walked away with real insights, a clearer direction, and a deeper trust in how all my pieces actually fit together."
“Working with Marissa, I really feel like I’ve stepped into my authority. I acknowledge that I am good at what I do — I know my stuff. There are people who are more established, make more money — and that’s fine. Let them do them. I’m going to do me. I have my own story, my own vibe, my own learning. That’s what I bring to the world. That’s how I stand out.”
“I had the outstanding pleasure of attending a workshop on Finding Your Voice on LinkedIn led by Marissa. Marissa is an effective and engaging presenter but even more critically, she has both a deep command of the material and a creative and fresh take on how it applies to each participant. She helped us understand what it means that LinkedIn is a narrative platform, and the value of creating a media-rich experience as well as 'telling the story' of one's professional journey. Highly recommend without any hesitation. If you can join one of her workshops, make the time to do so!”
Doug Wendt, Chief Growth Officer, Wendt Partners
“Marissa and I partnered to create and deliver a community workshop on resume writing and interviewing skills. I cannot say enough about Marissa's professionalism, preparation, ability to engage an audience and to create relevant content. Every person who attended the workshop made a point to say that her resume writing section was the best that they'd ever experienced. Her presentation was well done, her points relevant and her infusion of humor throughout kept the crowd hooked!”
Melissa Penza, HR Specialist
“We all know Marissa has a way with words, but she is also an incredible teacher and speaker who can relate to an audience and share both her passion for writing and tactical tips using her signature systems. Highly recommend.”
Jamie Broderick, Entrepreneur Success Coach
“I don’t know how she does it but by the end of the class I was motivated, energized, thinking clearly and relaxed all at once. Marissa’s skill and effervescence guides her interactive and informative classes.”
Claudine Wolk, Co-host Let’s Talk!, WDVR radio, Author, It Gets Easier and Other Lies We Tell New Mothers
"There is an art to teaching. A fine balance between facilitating versus alchemizing a room to enable personal, empowered learning. I have been to several speaking events where Marissa Polselli, through her brilliance, warmth, humor and deep intelligence led us through the valleys of our targeted problems into a new horizon full of tangible skill-sets and a newly inspired, personal perspective. She is a master of her craft."
Kate Brenton, Educator & Speaker
“I am so privileged to know Marissa and learn from her in the classes she leads. She has a talent for connecting with the audience as well as offering insight and suggestions that "fit" exactly with what the person was experiencing or wanting to express.”
Kimberly Rabago, MSW, Social Worker & Podcast Host
Bios, Profiles & One-Sheets
"Marissa was such a breath of fresh air! Her perspective and efficiency made the processes of creating a bio that made me proud, stress free!”
Jazz Bianci, CAPP, Author, Speaker, Founder of Spiraling Into Genius
“Marissa has a sublime gift to do wonders with words. And wonders that come from getting to know you, your stuff, and how you want to best serve the world. She did a BRILLIANT job with my speaker bio which not only helps me, but supports the success of the event.”
Ben Gioia, Author & Speaker
“Marissa is a true wordsmith, a magician with the use of language. She has helped me with bios, newsletters, mission statements and so much more . Marissa always captures my voice but elevates it to a masterful level. I highly recommend her!”
Leslie Vellios, Stress Relief Expert, EFT Practitioner, and Clinical Social Worker
Resumes & LinkedIn Profiles
“Marissa is an absolute pleasure to work with, so professional yet kind and down-to-earth. She was able to take my work, education, and life experiences and communicate my story in writing for LinkedIn and my resume in a way that felt very authentic to me. She exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend her work. If you’re curious that she could do the same for you, reach out to her for a conversation. You’ll be happy you did.”
Linda Brophy, Registered Dietitian & Speaker
“Marissa is purely magical when it comes to resume writing. My daughter and I used Marissa’s services to create new resumes, and we both had tremendous success. Her resume-writing knowledge and insight into hiring practices are unparalleled. In addition, Marissa is a kind, patient, and generous person. Truly a joy to work with.”
Kristin Figueroa, Live Yourself Well
“Throughout the last couple of years I've gone through several renditions of my resume, work history and profile by following the advice of other professionals and online experts. In the end I found that they didn't sound anything like me or didn't fully represent everything I bring to the table. Then, I hired Marissa.
Marissa brings humanity back into digital profiles and resumes. She has a thorough process to get to know you, your professional expertise and all those little details that represent who you really are and what sets you apart from other professionals in your field — no gimmicky keyword lists or weirdly structured sentences that make you sound like a bot.
She wove my professional story together so elegantly. It's easy to read, to the point, thorough, professional, and most important of all, so very me.”
Lydia Grossov, Expresso Design
"Marissa and I collaborated together on my linkedin profile and resume in the winter of 2018. I had searched several times in the past for a person to craft my 'professional profile' and kept coming up empty. Determined not to work with anybody that has a hard selling web presence, or advertises how with their services I will be CEO material. I'm a business developer, who wanted to be prepared should my current employer go through more restructuring. Having worked for one company my whole life, I worry that I've become blinded on how to sell myself and my experience outside of the walled garden.
One lazy Saturday morning I took up to searching for local resume writers. Marissa/Wordtree showed up in a search on google. Her website, social media, and just general candor jumped out at me. She has a button 'Let's chat about it over a cup of coffee' and as an avid coffee fan, this was just about the selling point. From just her presence online - I was convinced Marissa was the person I had been seeking for years. The perfect person to craft my resume and linkedin.
From my initial meeting with Marissa, I was floored by her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, timeliness and I could go on. She was so informative and accommodating to work with, and the questions she would pose really challenged me.
She finished the project early, and everything looked and sounded fantastic. Honestly, she did better than I would have ever imagined. Everything was so personalized, direct, and informative. I have talked to a few other people and seen examples of resumes and linkedin profiles done by others, and I have laughed.
Thank you Marissa, for your excellent work. I would encourage everybody seeking a professional profile/resume to work with Marissa. She is the best.”
Steven Bartz, Customer Experience & Process Optimization Specialist
"I have had the pleasure of working together with Marissa on a number of occasions. I have found her to be a great collaborator and effective writer.
I first approached Marissa because I needed help with communicating feedback to my clients and co-workers. I found that my experience working with Marissa has been extremely effective and rewarding. She has always made productive use of our time together. She has successfully supported me through my development at my company.
After using Marissa as a coach for written feedback, I shared a profile that I had written that was going to be published on my company’s blog. It would be posted for the entire company to read. I knew I could trust Marissa with editing the profile. She promptly got back to me with constructive edits. As always, she did an incredible job reviewing and making appropriate edits on my writing.
I would recommend Marissa to anyone that needs support with their writing. Marissa is thoughtful and patient. I appreciate all the support she has given to me throughout the years; I wouldn’t be where I am in my professional life without her."
Lauren Stump, Accolade
Blogs & Articles
“We hired Marissa to rewrite the copy on our website and to write our blog posts. Not only is she an exceptionally talented writer, she has become a valuable asset. Her insight on suggested topics has kept us on track and even elevated our vision.
Marissa has given our thoughts a strong and eloquent voice! We highly recommend her for all of your content development needs.”--
Tracey Piechockie, Illustrated Designs, Inc.
“Marissa is a true writer. The blogs, social media content, and even brainstorming sessions have brought about a higher version of my thoughts that I want to give to my clients. She is able to take my ideas, thoughts, and topics and help them grow into a real article or advertisement or marketing concept. She is beyond the words in garnering what you actually want to say and relaying it in painting the picture of what you intended. I highly recommend taking the time to sit with Marissa and see what she can do for you.”
Stacy Ford, Sports Med Plus

The finished product is professional, beautifully written and complete in record time! I will be doing many projects with Marissa. I am grateful to have found such a talented and competent writer."
Tracy McGovern, Essential Connections
"I can't thank you enough! My company does an article in a magazine quarterly and Marissa always does such a great job!!! Thank you so much, you are a pleasure to work with and have a true gift of writing!!"
Elsa O’Brien, You’ve Got MAIDS of Quakertown & Lehigh Valley
"Marissa is a true wordsmith. Her ability to weave language together is magical and sparks attraction in those that read her work. I highly recommend her if you'd like to attract new business or authentically influence and inspire potential clients."
Heidi Garis, Tap Into Abundance Success Coaching
“I just have to give a big ‘Thank You’ to Marissa Polselli. I am a small business owner and was in need of someone to write up major content about what I do. When I found Marissa and saw her work I knew I wanted her to assist me! Her content is smashing and she is able to capture who and what my business is very quickly in such eloquent words. Her passion and ability to encapsulate who you are in written form is a gift. She will always be my wordsmith!"
Michelle McInnis, Transformation Specialist
Website Copy
"Marissa was able to get to the heart of who I am and what I do, and bring it to life in the copy she wrote for my new website. I highly recommend her for her thoughtfulness, insight, and talent as a business copywriter."
Jamie Broderick, Entrepreneur Success Coach
“I met Marissa last month on a recommendation from my business coach. We had coffee and discussed the focus of my work as a Health & Equus Coach. I felt confident enough to hire her on the spot and her work on my behalf really impressed me! In about 10 pages of copy I asked for 2 ideas to be reworked. I call that hitting the nail on the head! No time wasted! Her turn around was prompt and every detail the utmost professional.”
Kerry Hayes, Experiential Learning Coach
“My experience with Marissa was purely amazing! When I was in the process of developing my new website last year, prepared to finally showcase to the world who I truly am and the gifts that I was blessed with, Marissa’s open heart, intuition and her nurturing character was my greatest gift. When we open ourselves to the world, it can be a very scary experience. Marissa knew exactly how to guide me, she would patiently listen to me as I explained to her who I am, what my mission is and what I want to create in the world. She took all of that information and created magic with her words. She has a gift of seeing your truth and then in the most beautiful way putting it on paper. If you are in the process of developing your brand, your online presence and do not know where to start, begin with opening your heart to Marissa. You will be amazed at the magic she can create!”
Dorota Burlakowska, Transformational Designer, Speaker & Singer
“Marissa is brilliant! I worked with Marissa for copy for my website as well as revision of my LinkedIn profile. The most endearing aspect of working with Marissa is that she took time to get to know me, my brand, my business and my goals. As a result, she was able to create amazing copy that truly represents my authentic self, my brand and my business. I could mention something to Marissa and she was able to run with the concept and create copy that connects to my ideal client. As a visual storyteller, it was critical for me to have compelling copy to tell my story in writing and Marissa achieved this with ease and in a timely fashion. Marissa is not only brilliant at using words to create inspiring content, she is kind, fair, and always made me feel like the most important person/project on her schedule. I highly recommend Marissa.”
