“You are not creating a new you; you are releasing a hidden you. The process is one of self discovery. The hidden you that wants to emerge is in perfect balance.”

— Deepak Chopra

The Why

The coaching relationship is a special one. I was inspired to become a coach after investing in one for myself and experiencing first-hand how transformative it can be. Having a dedicated safe space for me to be free to explore the deepest darkest parts of my past and getting clear on the brighter visions for my future has been transformative. Over the years, I've explored different types of therapy, but for me personally, it was coaching that really accelerated my growth. So, I wanted to become one and help others on the journey.

 

I am a certified Life Coach (NBHWC-approved program 100+ hours), and my training draws on practices in life and health coaching methodology, neuroscience, positive psychology, meditation and ancient Ayurvedic wisdom. My style is also informed by my life's journey, which includes a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies, building a not-for-profit and a successful career as a freelance social impact consultant. I have also invested in various complimentary courses including work in trauma-informed leadership, facilitating groups, soulful leadership, constellations, and indigenous ceremonies. I stand on the shoulders of my wise teachers which include Deepak Chopra, Pete Kirchmer, Robin Alfred, Karen Downes, Micole Noble, Mary McEvilly-Hernández, Nic Turner, Alex Good and Kurrikindi amongst many others.


We live in challenging times. Alongside our personal traumas, daily news from wars to climate change can overload our system - consciously or unconsciously.  For a long time, I walked the world full of fear. Now, I have learned to loosen the grip fear had on my life for so long... it's like seeing with new eyes and yet it is tested every day. So, I need tools, tactics and teachers to help me on the path to a more love-filled life. We all need this. We aren't meant to do this work alone.

 

I am committed to growing compassion in the world, for myself and for others, and to help people connect to the unlimited light within. On our coaching journey, I will forever see you as perfect and whole. I will not really be teaching much, I will simply be your partner as you reveal yourself to yourself. All the power you need is already within you, I just hope to be able to help point you in some helpful directions.

How it works

The beginning

If needed, we can start with an introductory exploration call (30 mins). I can tell you a bit about me, and you can tell me a bit about you, and we explore how we might work together.

If the chemistry is right, we then have an Intake Session to formally begin the coaching process.

Coaching

Typical format is 60 minutes online via Zoom. (In person sessions can be arranged if preferred, and would be based in North London)

 

This can be set to a cadence that suits you best (i.e. weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc.)

Courses

I offer various short courses including:

'Uncovering your Purpose'

'The Power of Intention'

'The Magic of Meaning-Making'

'Bringing Light to your Shadow' 

All of the above can be combined into a 10 session plan called

'Igniting your potential'

'Intro to Ayurvedic principles'

'Intro to Meditation & Mindfulness'

"I am incredibly grateful for my experience with Maria. From our very first session, I felt an instant sense of connection and trust, which allowed me to truly open up and explore aspects of myself that I hadn’t tapped into before. She consistently created a calming and grounding environment that made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. Her guidance helped me dig deep within myself, bringing clarity and new perspectives that have had a profound impact on my personal growth. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, insightful, and transformative coaching experience.
