Why This Work
A letter to you.

Hi!

I'm Maria, and I work with women (and men) who are ready to lead their lives without leaving themselves out, and do what they came here to do.

My work is designed for busy professionals, parents, and executives who are experiencing a disconnect between outer success and what they often feel: quiet depletion, undercurrents of discontent, tension, or a growing sense that life can be experienced differently.

Our collaboration will help you experience yourself and your body differently — more lovingly, more powerfully — and lead from a fuller place.

I believe most of us are meant to go through periods of deep challenge, or find ourselves at a crossroads. I believe those moments are essential — it's our life calling us toward something more. If we pay attention, we see the way forward — sometimes with bells and whistles, sometimes through something difficult to walk.

For me, it was the latter years ago. But here is where my life changed in unexpected ways — someone who knew the way through the maze I needed to traverse accompanied me on that walk, helped mend what needed mending, and provided an unusual space, skill, and presence to recognize what was mine to follow — and bring it forward with far more ease.

I believe no one needs to do this walk alone. We are not really meant to — changing what's in the way happens in the space of relationship.

It took me a decade of rigorous professional training and in-depth personal development work to develop those rare skills, integrating somatic, body-centered energetic practices with therapeutic process and attention to the relational field, with focus on power dynamics.

Today, I accompany people to walk their unique road, help mend what they're ready to address, and come to feel at home in themselves again, so they can lead and be successful from there.

This is the essence of Working Sabbatical.

Request a 30-minute private conversation to find clarity — and let's explore how it feels to work together.

With Care,

Maria
