Clarity. Confidence. Balance. A Life Led From the Inside Out.
Whether you’re a leader navigating complex challenges, an individual seeking deeper purpose, or someone ready to reconnect with your own inner wisdom — private coaching with Maria offers a rare combination of tools that work on every level: mind, body, and spirit. Drawing on over two decades of experience in leadership development, Ayurveda, mindfulness, theater, and meditation, Maria meets you exactly where you are and walks alongside you toward where you want to be.
Who This Is For:
Private coaching with Maria is for you if:
- You’re a leader, educator, or professional feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your purpose
- You’re going through a personal or professional transition and need support and clarity
- You want to reduce stress and develop sustainable wellness practices rooted in ancient wisdom
- You’re ready to do deep inner work and show up more fully — in your career, your relationships, and your life
- You want a coaching experience that honors the whole person: your body, your mind, and your soul
Coaching Offerings:
Embodied Leadership Presence Coaching
Great leadership isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how you show up. Embodied Leadership Presence Coaching is a customized coaching experience for leaders who want to communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity in high-stakes moments.
Blending actor training, applied improvisation, mindfulness, and a science-based understanding of the nervous system, this work helps you strengthen your voice, refine your presence, and respond in real time without losing yourself. Together, we build practical, repeatable tools so your internal confidence and external impact are fully aligned — especially in high-pressure situations where clarity and connection matter most.
Ayurvedic Coaching
Rooted in one of the world’s oldest systems of holistic health, Ayurvedic coaching with Maria helps you understand your unique mind-body constitution and create a lifestyle that truly supports your wellbeing. Through personalized guidance on diet, daily routines, seasonal rhythms, and stress management, you’ll discover a path to balance that is sustainable, nourishing, and deeply aligned with who you are. Maria is a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor.
Mindfulness & Meditation Coaching
In a world that rarely slows down, learning to be present is one of the most powerful skills you can develop. Maria’s mindfulness and meditation coaching gives you practical, accessible tools to quiet the noise, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate a steady inner calm — whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to deepen an existing practice. Maria is a certified Chopra meditation teacher.
How It Works:
All coaching is offered as personalized packages — because real transformation takes time, consistency, and a relationship built on trust. Sessions are available 1-on-1 or in small groups, both in-person in the Sarasota area and virtually for clients anywhere in the world.
Each coaching package begins with a discovery conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and what kind of support will serve you best. From there, Maria designs a customized path forward that may draw on one or all three coaching disciplines — because in practice, leadership, wellness, and mindfulness are rarely separate.
Why Maria:
Maria brings something most coaches can’t: a genuinely integrated approach. She is simultaneously a certified meditation teacher, a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor, a trained Theater of the Oppressed practitioner, a Harvard-connected educator, a published author, and a deeply experienced community leader. Her coaching doesn’t pull from one tradition — it draws from many, woven together with warmth, wisdom, and over 20 years of real-world experience helping people transform from the inside out.
