Regulate your emotions, Release what's beneath the pattern, Reconnect with yourself, for a Meaningful Relational Life.


My work combines Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness & Psychotherapy to help you move beyond survival and create lasting inner change.


You know the pattern, you've tried to change it before. Again and again, and still, nothing shifts…


You feel dysregulated, stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and you don't know why.

Different parts of you are constantly at war. You want a different kind of relationship, but keep meeting the same one.

You don't know where to start. Too many approaches. Too many promises. Too much noise. You just want to change.

Really change.

Hi, I'm Maria.


I help people find their way back to themselves, through an approach that weaves together mindfulness, somatic awareness, and psychotherapy.

You don't have to fit into one method. Together, we discover what actually works for you.

From there, we build a path that's yours: greater self-awareness, a regulated nervous system, an understanding of your patterns, and relationships, with yourself and others, that finally feel different.
