About Maria
My journey to this point hasn’t been linear, smooth, or easy.
Let’s rewind to 2017. I was working as a CBT Therapist in the financial district of New York, seeing 8-9 clients in a day. Deep down, I didn’t fully align with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I was exhausted from holding space for others while neglecting myself.
I was in desperate need of my own healing, yet I showed up every day pretending that I was fine.
It wasn’t until I was let go from that role that I finally took a step back. I was 29 years old, completely burned out, and unsure of what to do next. I moved back in with my mom and began slowly finding my way back to myself.
What started with Yoga teacher training unfolded into a deep exploration of healing, spirituality, and self-discovery over the next ten years. I worked with a variety of coaches, healers, and practitioners, and studied many different modalities including Reiki, sound healing, energy work, Human Design, and the Gene Keys. I took countless courses and gathered pieces of wisdom from many different paths.
Some spiritual teachings resonated deeply. Some didn’t.
Over time, I realized that lived experience, embodiment, and integration were much more important than collecting knowledge or having out-of-body experiences. I stopped searching for the perfect modality and began trusting myself more deeply. I landed on simplicity being the key. I took what felt true and left the rest.
I also started releasing shame and guilt about not being “further ahead”. I started owning my gifts as an intuitive, wise woman and a space holder. I became a mother. And little by little, I began the real healing process.
My journey ultimately led me here- to support others in their own unfolding and reclamation of inner power.
If this feels resonant, I would love to walk alongside you ↓
