How do I define my Coaching Style?
We Don’t Focus on Problems—We Focus on You.
In our sessions, we don’t just discuss your challenges; we explore the person behind them. We go deeper than the surface-level issues, uncovering the root causes of your struggles to create meaningful, lasting change. This approach ensures that the shifts we make together continue to empower you long after our coaching sessions.
Everything unconscious controls you!
By shining a light on the assumptions that influence the vision of yourself and the world, you can finally step into the driver’s seat and take control of your life’s direction.
We integrate Cognitive and Somatic.
The body holds immense wisdom, and ignoring it in coaching is a missed opportunity.
I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach and have been trained as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
My approach integrates cognitive coaching tools with mindfulness practices, guiding you to reconnect your powerful mind with your aware body.
This holistic method fosters deeper self-awareness, resilience, and balance. Rooted in compassion, research, and trauma-informed techniques, my coaching supports your growth from the inside out, empowering you to lead with balance, confidence, and presence.
We Access What You’ve Already Got.
Having started my career as a software engineer and organizational coach, I understand firsthand the pace, complexity, and the occasional feeling of being stuck that comes with high-pressure environments. I’ve been there.
Also, you’re not broken, and I’m absolutely not here to ‘fix’ you.
Coaching is about uncovering the unseen, discovering what’s holding you back and helping you shift perspective. You already have everything you need to move forward. It might sound cheesy, but it’s not; it’s the truth. The work we’ll do together will be to enable you to step into that power.
I can help because I’ve been there!
I am intimately familiar with the concept of overwhelm. Throughout my life, I have moved to new cities and countries, switched careers multiple times, constantly pursued personal growth and education and ultimately, built my business from scratch.
I know how scary it is to embark on a new career challenge: feeling overwhelmed, drowning in anticipatory anxiety and negativity, restless, and stuck in the loop of thinking that no preparation will ever be enough. I know how hard it is to feel unsettled, out of place, lost, low in energy, wondering if it will ever get easier, and struggling to find new support systems and reference points. Stuck between the old identity you need to let go of and the new one you need to embrace.
Mindfulness and coaching have been my guiding lights through it all. Mindfulness practice keeps me grounded, and coaching provides me with a thinking partner and a safe space for growth.
As a trained ICF Professional Certified Coach and certified Mindfulness Teacher with over 1000 coaching hours under my belt, I want to partner with you to help you navigate your career transitions and challenges. Let’s work together to find clarity, build confidence, and create the career path that truly resonates with you.

What others are saying
This journey I walked with Maria has been probably one of the most impactful ones in my life. I couldn’t be more grateful for the time she invested in me and the growth you’ve helped me unlock.
When I first started the coaching sessions with Maria, I was going through a rough period of my life, which ended up to be brought up to the sessions with Maria. Since day 1, it was so very easy to just open myself up to Maria, due to her genuine personality and kindness – she always inspired this calmness and created a super safe environment, making me feel I could be myself without judgement.
Maria was an excellent guide, allowing me to dig up the root problems causing the symptoms I was feeling, and really helping me clearing the fog so that I could see the path in front of me to overcome those issues. Although we only had 4 sessions, Maria changed my perspective towards life, others and helped me see the person I wanted to be, which had a huge impact on how I started living my life since then.

Needless to day, I could not recommend Maria enough to anyone that might be struggling: whether it might be a simple and specific struggle or some really deep and complicated life challenges.
I didn’t have specific expectations when I began a mindfulness coaching session with Maria, and I approached it with an open mind. Maria possesses a delightful voice and exudes a serene and empathetic demeanor which makes me feel immediately comfortable.My main goal was to explore the reasons behind my struggle to find a harmonious balance between work and leisure. The journey with Maria aimed to uncover some of the obstacles blocking this equilibrium, delve into the beliefs that fueled my workaholic tendencies, and understand the driving forces behind my behavior.
Throughout all sessions, Maria has consistently offered unwavering support, nurturing a profound bond between us. I felt completely secure in her presence. Her abundant empathy, remarkable listening skills, and thoughtful guidance touch me deeply. Her ability to convey empathy and appreciation warms my heart, and her talent for fostering a deep connection is truly priceless. I gained incredibly valuable experiences and insights during the coaching sessions with her. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and the transformative journey we’ve embarked on together.
The turning point came during the first session where she skillfully guided me to discover the underlying causes of my grinding and pressing habits. With her gentle guidance, I ventured into the energies that were causing tension in my neck and back. This revelation illuminated what I had been missing by being solely focused on work, allowing me to forge a deep connection with my body and unconscious mind. It felt like entering a trance-like state and left an indelible mark on me.
Maria is a beautiful soul full of kindness and compassion. Moreover, she is a wonderful conversationalist with great observation skills. She will raise the right questions and guide you to find the answers within yourself.
I feel confident to recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking clarity and personal growth. For any challenge really, no matter if personal or professional.
In five sessions with her, I gained valuable insights into understanding myself, identifying my desires, and granting myself the freedom to pursue a fulfilling career path. To me this guidance was transformative, fostering self-awareness and empowering me to make choices aligned with my authentic aspirations.
Maria is a very special person and a very gifted coach. She gives you and your issues her full attention and focus during the session. She zooms in on the issue, and from there, she helps you change your mindset.
She has helped me a lot in dealing with (repressed) emotions. She is a very warm person, and genuinely kind, and I recommend working with her.
She bridges the world of business with the world of spirituality.
I had the opportunity to get five personal development sessions with Maria, where we could work on a different topic each time.
First of all, Maria impressed me with her kind and soothing energy, as well as the way she approached and led every session.
Her technique allowed me to feel present and grounded and very safe to open up to her. Regarding the outputs of my coaching with her, I could feel strong, immediate effects on the topics I wanted to work on, as well as a big emotional support from Maria, which gave me strength and the motivation to work on myself and reach my goals. I can only recommend her coaching sessions!
I had my first coaching experience with Maria. To be honest, I didn’t really know what to expect from coachings at the beginning, which is why I was a bit sceptical about this topic first. However, Maria convinced me already during the first session. She did this with her calm, open-minded and professional manner. At the beginning of each session we formulated an important question and objective for me, which gave every session a very structured, professional and secure framework. Through specific questions, a lot of sensitivity, empathy, interest in the topic and people, as well as a natural positive attitude, Maria is always able to find the right words and initiate important reflection processes, which have personally brought me much further after just a few sessions. I am grateful and really want to thank Maria for all the many and incredibly valuable experiences and insights I have gained during the coaching sessions with her.
Maria, you rock – continue to make the world a better place with your coaching.
Maria was close to me and helped me in a moment of loss. Without imposing anything or giving any direct advice, she made me understand that all the possible solutions to my struggles already lay within me. I understood what is important to me and what I have to let go of. Thank you, Maria.
Maria provides helpful insight and recommendations as a coach.
When she was an Agile coach for Fit Analytics (Snapchat), I had the opportunity to work with her. She hasn’t only coached our teams but taught them agile principles.
In addition to that, I greatly benefited from her mindfulness coaching in my career and personal life. Her guidance and coaching helped me make the right career decisions. Her feedback and suggestions help you grow and flourish. In coaching, she ensures that you develop your own answers to your concerns. This is one of the strengths she brings to her coaching practice.
Maria was the most helpful coach I have ever worked with.
