Perhaps you recognise yourself here…

You may be holding everything together on the outside, while something inside you knows that the old way of living no longer fits.

Perhaps you are:

  • moving through motherhood, identity or a major life transition

  • living with neurodivergence, masking, burnout or overwhelm

  • carrying grief, rage, trauma or a longing for belonging

  • questioning an identity, relationship, career or way of life that once made sense

  • experiencing a spiritual awakening or profound inner shift

  • feeling called towards something new, but unable to see the path clearly yet

  • a therapist, healer or practitioner whose professional path is changing alongside your inner life

  • longing to reconnect with your body, intuition, creativity or deeper sense of self

You don't necessarily need fixing.

Perhaps you need somewhere to slow down enough to hear what is actually happening.

A place where complexity is not reduced to a diagnosis, where your sensitivity is not treated as a weakness, and where the parts of you that have been difficult to understand can be approached with curiosity and compassion.

This is the territory I work within.

Not a straight road from broken → fixed.

More like a spiral:

something ends → something descends → something is surrendered → something new begins.

And sometimes, we need another person beside us while we travel through that threshold.

Working with me

Journey Home to Yourself

 

My work is centred around Presence-Centered Psychotherapy, guided by The Ancient Mother Spiral — a living framework for navigating healing, transformation and the thresholds of life.

This work brings together trauma-informed psychotherapy, eco-psychology, Jungian wisdom and the embodied divine feminine, embodied non-dual inquiry rooted in the Heart and a deep understanding of neurodivergence.

I don't believe you are broken.

I create a space where you can slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with the wisdom, wholeness and aliveness already within you.

There is no single path; we begin where you are and find the way together.

Testimonials

“ Maria is very gifted in the art of sound healing . I honestly didn't know what to expect at first so I entered with an open mind. I had tried different therapies before this including CBT , and I had practiced self care but I still had things I continued to struggle with. After a few sessions I noticed a shift in my mood, of course it was a journey to get to the end result. Maria was there to guide me through the whole process , checking in regularly to see how I was doing. By the end I feel a complete shift in my mood, perspective and overall wellbeing. I also noticed that the pains I had in my body due to stress had gone. I don't think this would have been possible without her so I am very grateful for her work. I highly recommend to anyone who has struggles with your mental health and with stress, it really works, Thank you Maria I am so grateful. ”

My Story

In 2019, my own fire became my medicine. A profound consciousness shift into the I AM initiated a two-year "Dark Night of the Soul." and a treacherous collapse of my Identity.

It wasn't a clinical crisis; it was an answer. It was the absolute dissolution of my own perpetual seeking. Seeking since then left me and i felt Liberated, navigating a spiral journey into the isness of my life, deepening in the dissolution of all separation.

 

Ever since the Journey has deepened, revealed my own Dharma in Life throught the Map-less map of the Ancient Mother Spiral. The journey continued with deeper dissolution experiences, fatigue and burn out unmasking of neurodivergence and motherhood frictions... but continued with ever deepening faith in the Surrender .

I have resisted to bring this active Inquiry to life because as a separate service as  I am very very sober about glorification of Teachers and gurufication.

I do not call myself a Teacher but a mirror. I m here to point you to who you ARE beyond samsara.. but NOT by denying the human pain. 

The , "Honeyed Vessel" in the Ancient Mother Spiral 

There is an intelligence that hums beneath the roles we play. It is older than our names, deeper than our wounds, and more constant than our stories. For a long time, I lived within the maps of "becoming"; the therapist, the mother, the migrant, the seeker. But Life, in its fierce and loving grace, eventually burned those maps away. And in that burning revealed my INNER MAP LESS MAP. My life's dharma and body of work also encompassed in the Ancient Mother Spiral. Self Inquiry was simply the FIRE  i practiced for over 17 years that burnt away all illusions to reveal within me, after the SHIVA consciousness ( I AM) the SHAKTI and primordial energy that lives in my bones and marrow. 

What remained was not a "better version" of myself, but a hollowed-out space. A  Honeyed vessel.

You are SO VAST like the SKY.. 

No more hiding

No more waiting

Enter the Inner vastness of your Deepest Heart and Hold the Globe in your veins
