When I first met Maria, she was at the beginning of her coaching career, I had no idea what coaching was but after Maria told me what she did, the combination of her presence and the way she described the process of coaching inspired me to blurt out "I'd like to try that!”. That was the beginning of a relationship with myself that I could never have imagined. Coaching with Maria is a unique combination of deepening the experience of your life while lovingly and joyously taking actions, large and small toward the fulfillment of dreams and desires.

The impact of coaching on my life has been profound and too numerous to count. There have been times when coaching has helped me to "see the world with new eyes." I have developed new perspectives, understood the impact of my emotions on my thoughts and actions and made life changing choices that I couldn't have made alone. I have learned that I am always at choice and that I am always creating my own reality.

I cannot leave off without contributing about what makes coaching with Maria so powerful. Maria is a masterful coach bringing wisdom, discernment and deep love to her work. She has a deeply kind and gentle spirit that holds you accountable for your highest possibilities. Maria is absolutely committed to her own self-mastery and the wisdom. She is uncompromisingly dedicated to the work of being a coach and for that I am eternally grateful.
