ABOUT MARIA
Maria works with people from all walks of life to help them enjoy their lives to the fullest. For some of her clients, this is a brand new exploration into brand new territory. For others, she’s a catalyst for their next steps into health and wellness, assisting them at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels to fulfill their potential and experience a more joyful life. Clients are then able to take what they have received, are empowered by their new sense of connection to Self and Source (to God), and with energy and enthusiasm, experience a new and more fulfilling story for themselves.
BACKGROUND
Raised in a military family on various bases in America and Germany, she moved to Austin, Texas where she earned a B.A. degree and taught German and English to high school and then college students. She later earned a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology and became Director of a holistic wellness center for people with HIV/AIDS.
From there she took her first corporate job, earning certification as a Senior Professional in Human Resources working for companies in environmental engineering, pension administration, real estate investment, high-tech, agriculture and the law.
Maria returned to grad school and completed coursework towards her MBA. While at a corporate job in San Francisco, her life took a very sudden and unexpected turn, resulting in her working in the healing arts.
