I had known weeks before from this person’s guides that it was “their time”— so it was not a surprise when she reached out to inquire about the 10-series :) To see where she started vs where she ended… to creating the life she wanted and knowing that she deserved it.. blows me away. To create change, it’s not about moving waves outside of you. It’s about changing what’s within, and watching the rest of your world shift and grow just like you.
I did two consecutive 10-session series with Maria.
TL:DR: I started this journey feeling paralyzed in my life, without hope for the future. With Maria's guidance, I found the confidence and strength to move countries to start a new, exciting career opportunity aligned with my personal values; and developed greater self-acceptance and love by creating healthy boundaries with my heavily-enmeshed family. I still have more healing and confidence-building to do (lifelong journey) but I now have the hope, strength and confidence to continue this journey.
Long review:
Words cannot express how much Maria has helped me. At the start, I had no idea how to move forward in my life. I was frustrated with my job and the city I was living in, lacking the confidence and sense of safety & strength to take any risks and explore new opportunities. I truly felt paralyzed and would live through very heavy, depressive episodes. Part of me thought I just had to accept that life is frustrating, and that I would never live my potential and find work that would spark me. On more personal note, I was completely disassociated from my body, was enmeshed with my family in very unhealthy ways (particularly with my mother), always thinking in their terms, and did not love or accept myself unless I was perfect in every way. I could not stand being in my body and could never find real pride in myself. As a result, I spent a lot of time hiding myself from the world, sometimes resorting to binge-eating or shopping to feel any spark. If I did not think I was "thin or attractive enough" to be seen, I would hide at home, and not see any friends.
Throughout these series, I've had some very tough moments surface and had to swallow some harsh realities, but with Maria's clear and ultra-supportive guidance, my healing journey culminated in me finally connecting to my body, establishing boundaries with those around me (including family), creating opportunities for myself to explore life, and finally embracing my own self worth.
I have never felt more alive, more connected to my true self, and more excited about life and my own potential. In our last session together, I had waves of tingling euphoria throughout my body. It was a wonderful intense feeling that showed me I can feel incredible in my own body - the most amazing way to finish our work together. Career wise, I moved to a new country to start a new job opportunity aligned with my personal values. Maria's sessions played a critical role in my building the confidence I needed to apply to jobs and prepare for interviews with excitement and hope. Not to mention, the confidence to move to a new country without guilt of leaving my family.
It's extremely important to note that Maria is not there to solve everything for you. This work does require you to be independent, and not depend on Maria for all answers. For e.g. journal, meditate, do some grounding work between sessions. You will need to do this research on your own and experiment to see what techniques work for you. This is a lifelong journey, which can sound discouraging for some, but as Maria pointed out to me early on, the alternative is staying where you are now. Do you really want that?
I cannot recommend Maria enough. She is an exceptional talent, the kindest and most generous soul I've met.
Do not hesitate to work with her!!!
