My principles
I believe each person has their own criteria and acts with their best intention.
The more aware and connected he is to his personal center, the more authentic and meaningful his contribution to a better world can be.
Absolutely everyone has inner resources and wisdom.
As well as patterns and beliefs that no longer serve him.
Often these are our blind spots that get in the way, but we can’t reach them on our own.
My job is to help people see, accept and consciously decide which patterns are valuable to them and how to use them.
I believe in equal relationships where everyone has goals, freedom and
responsibilities.
You are the expert of your life and I support you to make
decisions from a position of authenticity, awareness and purpose.
You know you can’t change anything unless you get to know it first.
I encourage you to be radically honest with yourself, change the mental patterns that are harmful to you, and use your true voice.
I listen with a full heart, ask questions and challenge you to step into your full potential.
Initially I approached coaching as a system with suspicion. For you, I already knew that you were a true professional - with all the sense and weight of that - but for coaching I had hesitations, as there are many systems that present themselves as coaching but do not meet the ethical rules and create a fallacy. Now that I also know through personal experience what pure coaching is, I can't stop telling my family about it. A powerful tool that everyone needs to have access to in order to develop.
When we first started, I chose to work on changing my internal mindset, which I have struggled with my whole life so far, but still couldn't move forward. I must admit I didn't expect this outcome - in 6 sessions I was able to resolve my case. A case that - I note again - I have been struggling with all my life. I still can't even believe how I didn't know how powerful a tool coaching is before. It accelerates many times the speed at which you move towards your goals. And something else key that it has helped me with - it has given me tools that I can use to tackle other issues that have arisen on my own, and a mindset that has improved my quality of life significantly.
Thank you!

Working with Maria has helped me to open my eyes to the aspects of my business and life that are worth paying attention to, so that I can experience both satisfaction in my work and see objective positive results.
Before we started working together, I felt some skepticism about whether coaching would benefit me. My previous experiences with other professionals in the field had never led me to clear results or a change in attitude. That was the key difference with Maria. From our very first conversation, I could feel my core values coming to the surface, which I had assumed but never clearly systematized. This allowed me within 4-5 sessions to build a plan and revamp my website and business funnel. A fundamental and intimidatingly large task that I had been putting off for years.
The most important benefits I found from working with Maria were crystal clarity about who I am, a possible direction for my development going forward, and wonderful conditions to structure my next steps so that I could take down fear and resistance to achieving them.
I highly recommend Maria to anyone who is wasting tremendous energy in confusion and doubt rather than using it to propel their life in the direction that is most valuable to themselves.
Maria listened to me, pushed and provoked me to find solutions that I could actually implement.
When I started working with her, I had just completed a leadership skills course. If it hadn't been for her, I'm sure I would have never started applying what I learned there.
At the time, I was struggling with understanding and communication within my team, felt under-performing and lacked the confidence to be the leader I wanted to be.
Coaching with her helped me tremendously to find common ground with each team member and be an effective leader.
I realized that a big and seemingly impossible goal is achieved in small steps. And that in addition to getting started, it is also important to be consistent in your actions to achieve the goal. Our sessions helped me develop my self-control and answer the really important questions, like "How many units of time invested today will pay off tomorrow?" I came to believe that there are no impossible things and that with the right motivation and desire anything can be achieved. I have changed my outlook and am able to step back and see the "big picture" more easily.
When we started working, I wanted to become a more confident and effective leader. The space, provocation and tools he gave me helped me achieve this and continue to develop.
Maria is one of those rare people who can really listen. She gives space and security, trust and respect, which I find to be extremely subtle skills.
Before we started working together, I was not good at negotiating and presenting my position independently. I waited for the inevitable ''right moment.'' I had a hard time standing up for my values, goals and boundaries.
Working with Maria helped me to identify the forces that move me forward. First to myself and then to clearly articulate them to my collective. The key for me is that I learned a set of tools to improve what I have already achieved in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Coaching is a dialogue through which the client expands their understanding and awareness of themselves and their situation.
The coach partners through appropriate questions, observations, intuition and techniques.
In my office, in your office, in another place that inspires you or online.
Depending on the arrangement between coach and client, specific pre-session preparation may be determined.
In the initial session you define the goal you want to achieve.
We also sign a contract that clearly outlines my responsibilities as a coach, your responsibilities as a client, and the goal you want to reach.
If in the meantime you decide it’s better to change the goal, we simply renegotiate.
The goal is to focus on your potential (your conscious and unconscious abilities), discovering your strengths and how to apply them in the areas that are important to you.
It starts with defining your intention and ends with a plan to implement your insights from the session.
Through questions, observations, intuition and techniques, we work to identify your personal barriers, values, desires, fears and resources so that you can move towards achieving your big goal.
Everything is 100% confidential.
Yes, you can.
I’ve seen it in clients and in myself quite a few times.
Coaching can be a catalyst for a significant change in the direction and quality of your life.
I am a certified coach according to the standards of the World Coaching Federation.
This means I am guided by the belief that the client has the ability to cope and my job is to help them arrive at their own wisdom and solutions, without giving guidance or advice.
The length of the coaching relationship depends on a number of factors, such as your goal, your commitment and openness to change, your capacity for introspection, your circumstances and other specific factors.
Most people need at least 6 sessions to achieve the desired change.
You can decide to stop working at any time.
It’s a good idea to give your coach a heads up so they can prepare for your final session, which is designed to help you integrate the benefits of the process so far.
The coach focuses on the future.
The therapist focuses on the past.
The coach works with the belief that the client is healthy and has the potential to cope.
The therapist works through the lens of pathology and disease.
The coach usually works according to a pre-agreed goal and desired outcomes.
The therapist usually has no fixed time frame and works until the client “understands” their mental distress.
Both the coach and the therapist work to change emotional states and lives.
To understand the client’s limiting beliefs or behaviors that they are not aware of.
Both coach and therapist help the client grow, change and master their emotions.
I am a qualified coach, chartered psychologist and art therapist.
- There is something (an opportunity, difficulty, or big goal) that is urgent, attractive, and/or exciting to you;
- There is a hole between your knowledge, skills, confidence or resources;
- You don’t have clarity, but you have to make a choice;
- You want to make your life more satisfying;
- Your work and your life are out of balance, and that creates unintended consequences;
- Your current course of action is not effective enough to achieve your goal;
- You want to boost your results;
- You want to make things simpler and more efficient.
It’s hard to be sure that coaching will work for you if you haven’t tried it before.
The first step is to do a familiarisation session to get an idea.
At the end of it, you’ll be able to make an informed decision about whether you’d benefit from working with us on a regular basis.
You will then be able to set criteria to understand how coaching might be useful to you.
At the end of each session we will have time to see if you have learned anything new about yourself and if you have more clarity about your situation.
Watch for the feeling that you are connecting the dots, that you are more aware of yourself, that you are ready to take new actions and new outcomes in your life.
