- Once back in London,Marissa put her PR skills to use working in Matts family business Ignite Group.
- Ignite Group is a UK based international food, beverage, and an entertainment corporation. Using her previous experience, she successfully raised the profile of the business, which in turn assisted Matt with the profile of his nightclubs.

Troubled Pregnancy :
- During her pregnancy with her third child, daughter Sadie, it was discovered she was developing a rare condition called placenta accrete.
- At the risk of this issue potentially becoming life-threatening for both herself and her daughter, she delivered the baby at 34 weeks pregnant via cesarean with her husband by her side.
- Due to complications, shortly after the birth Marissa was forced to undergo a hysterectomy. This prevents her from having any more children.
- She initially fell into a depression over this as she had always planned to have four children. Even though her husband only wanted 3, she had made it known she was planning to slip a 4th child past him.
- She credits husband Matt as helping her get through the experience and states she has now learned to be grateful and just embrace the blessed three children she has rather than dwell on something she cannot change.
