Learn. Practice. Grow.

Manage stress effectively from within. Maria teaches her students how to guide themselves through all of life’s challenges using practices rooted in mindfulness.

Drawing on 25 years of personal practice, Maria will guide you along on a journey of self exploration and self discovery and teach you how to apply the innate tools you already possess to live a more balanced and peaceful life.

As the popularity of mindfulness increased, I recognized a gap; while there is a lot of information out about what to practice and why to practice, there is very little instruction in how to apply it effectively in one’s daily life.

For nearly half my life, I have applied the practice of mindfulness to my own daily stressors and unexpected life challenges. The practice has brought me clarity, stability and calm in the highest staked moments and helped me to have compassion for myself though the most difficult times.  

I know how to help you through the tough stuff. I will teach you how to access and apply the innate awareness you already possess to better navigate through your own life challenges.  Your life will become your teacher and your own innate awareness will become a steady, dependable guide. You will learn and grow through your own life experiences.

I look forward to guiding you in the practice.

  • "She was God-sent."

    By the end of each week I would be so overwhelmed and wound up that the only way I was able to ‘reset’ was to drink myself into oblivion. I was lucky to find Maria. She was God-sent. I met her during one of my most stressful events that I’ve ever dealt with in my life... I no longer had the need to self medicate each week.

  • "Mindfulness influenced me."

    I couldn’t believe how much mindfulness influenced me. The first time I tried mindfulness, I found it’s very hard to focus on myself. However, as a philosophy major student, I knew the importance of meditation. After many times of trying, I managed to feel the Descartes’s saying, “I think, therefore I am.”

  • "Maria’s role in bringing me mindfulness has proven a cheat code time and again."

    There are some people that might get you, but not offer strategies to help. And some people full of approaches, but they don’t really know you to a. know what you need and b. how you need to receive it to process it and implement. Maria is uniquely both. Maria’s role in bringing me mindfulness has proven a cheat code time and again.
