Marisa

Billing Specialist

Marisa has over 20 years of experience in successful small business management and customer service, both in the restaurant/hospitality field and in individual medical practices in the Portland area. With an educational background in Biology and Engineering, growing up with a lovely Italian mother, and camping with an adventurous father; Marisa has a passion for food and feeding people, health & wellness, and numbers!

In the past, Marisa also held a position in the admissions department at National University of Natural Medicine. In this time, she thoroughly enjoyed creating healthy connections with current and future practitioners and being a part of building a strong community, but found she missed supporting patients directly!

Her dedication towards supporting people's journeys towards wellness and building community and connection have led her to working with local medical providers and assisting in their practices. She enjoys serving both patients and providers by taking care of their billing needs and also by helping to navigating insurance plans and benefits for the patient's optimal care.

She's delighted to be working with Prolific Wellness and Dr. Tran. If you do have any questions about your billing or insurance, please feel free to reach out; she's happy to help!

In her downtime, Marisa stays healthy and grounded by getting into nature and exploring the outdoors; this can be hiking in the Gifford Pinchot, kayaking, a simple walk through the neighborhood, mushroom hunting, getting a dose of sea air, and metal detecting. Weekends at home are spent cooking, gardening, and reading (usually with a sweet cat on her lap).

Ashleigh Barto

Patient Care Coordinator

Hi, my name is Ashleigh. I am currently finishing up my Bachelor's degree in general science, and I will graduate in June of 2024. I love to play volleyball and do any sort of physical activity in my free time. I am originally from Arizona, but I have enjoyed every second of living in the PNW since I moved here in 2020. I have a huge passion in healthcare and exercise science because I have been an athlete my whole life. I am super excited to be working here and hopefully I can make your experience even that much better.

Averly

Patient Care Coordinator

My name is Averly and I graduated from Oregon State University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and business administration in June. I am from Eugene but have recently moved up to Portland. I am also going to be completing my MBA over the next two years! In my free time I love to paint, bake, travel, go snowboarding and boxing, as well as spend time with friends and family. I grew up playing soccer and being pretty active, so I am excited to be working here and helping people get the right care!
