About me

Hi, I’m Maria - a certified Somatic Coach who helps people find their footing when life turns upside down. Breakups, burnout, career changes, midlife wobbles, or just that quiet sense that something isn’t working anymore - if you’re in a season of “what now?”, you’re not alone.

I work with people who’ve hit a crossroads, a crisis, or a wall. People who look fine on the outside but are carrying a whole lot inside.

You might want space to feel and regroup. Or you might want practical tools and next steps. Most people I work with want both - a sense of direction, but also a way to breathe again.

I offer somatic coaching, which means we include your body in the conversation, not just your thoughts. It’s about learning to notice the signals your body is sending - stress, tension, instinct - so your choices feel clear and grounded, not just logical.

Getting to know your nervous system will be part of our work together. When you understand what’s actually happening in your body when you're overwhelmed or shut down, you can stop judging yourself and start responding with more clarity and compassion. It’s like getting the manual for how you work.

Not sure that’s for you? That’s OK. I’m also trained in more traditional coaching methods and can work in a structured, goal-focused way. We’ll choose an approach that fits you, not the other way around.

My style is warm, honest, and gently challenging, with a sense of humour when you need it most. Because when life gets heavy, you don’t need more pressure.

I offer support that’s real, human, and actually helps.

If you’re curious about and would like to know more, please book a FREE 20-minute discovery call through my website.
