Welcome—I’m Maria.

I’m here to help you inject more ease, joy, and freedom into your life. Freedom to be yourself, to rediscover your courage, and to live this one precious life exactly how you want to.

And here’s the truth:

I’m really good at what I do.

Why? Because I’ve walked this path. I’ve been where you are—feeling stuck, standing at the edge of something I couldn’t quite step into, yearning for more but held back by fear and uncertainty.

I know the courage it takes to slow down, to reconnect with yourself, and to make choices that align with who you truly are. And I know the incredible transformation that’s possible when you do.

That’s why I do this work.

Through embodiment coaching, group circles, and mentorship, I help women like you create lives of ease and joy—lives that feel deeply aligned and unapologetically yours.

Why work with me?

Because I bring the perfect balance of gentle guidance and bold belief in what’s possible for you. Because I’ll be your steady hand and your biggest cheerleader, celebrating every step you take.

And because I’m a trauma-informed coach with a gift for creating spaces where you feel safe, seen, and supported.

Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck. Sometimes, it’s because of a major life event—a health scare, a career pivot, or changes in relationships. Other times, it’s that quiet, persistent ache: the sense that life could be more.

Whatever has brought you here, I want you to know this:

You are already whole. You don’t need to become someone else—this is about reconnecting with who you already are.

It’s about stepping into a different way of being. One that feels aligned, grounded, and true to you.

You have the power to move forward.
You have the courage to create something new.

And I’ll be here to guide you, every step of the way.

So, let me ask you:

Are you ready to step into what’s next?

MY STORY

I stood on the beach one day many years ago. I was with my husband, my daughter and it was a beautiful sunny day. Everything in me felt like I SHOULD feel joy. I felt nothing - in that moment I was disassociated from life. Frustrated. Burned out. And feeling more than guilty for not just being grateful. I burned out twice during my 20 year creative career.

But life is complex, isn’t it?

The real unravelling began at 41. Following a hysterectomy after 10 years of trying for a second child. Finally free from a lifetime of pain caused by Endometriosis, but knowing this was the ending of something. Desperately wanting to feel like it was a beginning. And in a way, it was. The start of me taking ownership - for the choices I make, for the life I live, for how I treat myself. A process that has been painful, enlightening, raw and bloody amazing.

In the last 8 years

  • I almost got divorced after a huge rupture (we are now 25 years together and more in love than ever)

  • Changed careers and retrained (more than once, it’s been an evolution)

  • Became Empty Nesters, sold everything we owned and moved to another country, and then came back

  • Lost our beloved dogs

  • My husband and I became carers for three years (his mum lived with us and had ALS)

  • Supported my husband through his retraining (he is 12 years older at 61 and I’m SO proud of him)

  • Navigated all of the above through peri menopause, and a late life ND diagnosis

There is more, but you get the jist. There was much anxiety, stress, and worry along the journey. I honestly thought that the healing journey had a destination, somewhere to get to. Somewhere where suddenly I feel fixed, and everything is great. The truth is, life is just not like that. We are humans, in human bodies. We have a heart, a gut, a brain. We feel what we feel, we think what we think and this evolves - with our circumstances, people present in our life, the environments we spend time in. And we don’t need fixing - we are already whole.

SO WHAT TO DO?

For me the journey was acceptance. That people are different. That we all have our story. And that expecting others to change to make me ok, is futile. Taking care of myself, attending to my wounds has had amazing results on my life, and my relationships with both others and myself.

Educating myself on how my body works and reacts to triggers, working on making my nervous system more adaptable and resilient has been a revelation. I know where I end, and others begin. What is mine to carry, and what isn’t. What boundaries look like when set from a place of love, and not trying to protect myself.

There is still so much to learn. But I feel at ease nowadays. I easily find joy, and accept pleasure as my birth right. It feels good. And just like anyone, I have off days. But I know what to do. Because I love all the parts of me, unconditionally and fully, even when life gets difficult.

Waking up every morning truly feels like a gift. And I can’t wait to help you step into that feeling.
