Alisa Marie (Panelist) - A devoted yogi, tantrika, intimacy coach, and intuitive embodiment mentor. After studying performing arts in New York, she returned to her home town, Santa Barbara, to pursue her other obsession: yoga. At age 16, she healed her asthma and anxiety disorder through a dedicated daily yoga practice, an experience that opened her to the transformative power of embodiment. Through yoga, she discovered Tantra—the art of embracing all sensations and emotions as aspects of the divine. In 2020, alongside her partner, Jonny Reason, she launched her first online business, rooted in the principles of Truth, Love, and Choice, teaching others how to cultivate self-compassion through yoga and embodiment. Her journey took a turn when she entered a throuple—a deeply intentional three-way partnership—where they practiced emotional alchemy, transpersonal psychology, yoga, and Tantra to support each other in releasing fear, guilt and shame, and becoming empowered in their creative potential. This immersive experience led to the creation of a coaching practice that helps others connect with their bodies, dissolve shame, and open to deeper intimacy as a path to healing and self-discovery. She now lives in Santa Barbara with her two girlfriends and partner, changing people's lives daily through her loving presence and authentic guidance.
