You’re carrying the invisible weight of it all
You're carrying everything—and you're exhausted.
The endless decisions. Holding it all together. Putting yourself last, every single time.
You don't recognize yourself anymore. And when you try to name what's wrong, nothing comes.
What if nothing's wrong with you?
What if you're living under beliefs that were never yours—and we can change how you see all of it?
Not by doing more. Not by being better.
By seeing what's actually happening. And learning to think differently about it.
So you can:
Stop feeling guilty for wanting anything for yourself
Feel like a whole person again—not just "mum"
Actually enjoy your life instead of just surviving it
Know what matters to you—and feel okay saying no to what doesn't
I’ve been exactly where you are.
Exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix. Feeling like I'd disappeared into everyone else's needs. Wondering who I even was beyond "mom."
I didn't create this work because I had it all figured out.
I created it because I desperately needed it—as a mother, as a psychologist, and as a woman who knew something had to change.
Now I help mothers find their way back to themselves.
Not by doing more. Not by being perfect.
By seeing what's really happening—and learning to think differently about all of it.
Through mindfulness, psychology, and coaching, we identify the thoughts that keep you stuck, shift the patterns that drain you, and help you reconnect with who you actually are.
So you can show up for your life—not just survive it.
The M.I.B.A Method: How We Work Together
This is the foundation of everything I offer—whether you work with me 1:1, join a course, or come to a workshop. It's not surface-level tips or just stress management. It's a real combination of mindfulness, psychology, and coaching that helps you understand why you feel the way you do—and shift how you respond to it all.
The 4 Steps
Map What's Happening
We start with what's real: the exhaustion, the guilt, the pattern of putting yourself last. You learn to see what's driving the overwhelm—not to fix yourself, but to understand what you've been carrying that was never yours.
Interrupt the Pattern in Real Time
When you're triggered or overwhelmed, we use breathwork, mindset shifts, and body awareness to create space. Not to "control" your reactions, but to give you a moment to choose how you respond—from calm, not panic.
Build Your Foundation
This isn't about bouncing back faster or being tougher. It's about giving yourself permission to be imperfect, developing self-trust, and knowing you can handle hard days without falling apart. Building resilience through self-compassion, not pressure.
Align with What Matters.
You reconnect with who you are beyond "mum." You get clear on what actually matters to you—and feel okay saying no to what doesn't. You reclaim your identity, trust your own voice, and move forward without guilt holding you back.
Every offering is built on this foundation—but tailored to what you need right now.

I highly recommend coaching with her👏👏 Thank you so much ❤️❤️

"I’ve gone from feeling stressed out and overworked to feeling not just more balanced but more resilient.
This program has become my little inner sanctuary, a place that I can retreat to, to regain strength and calm. I feel like Maria is a trusted friend, guiding me to the person I'd almost forgotten I was."
Michelle Whitman, Early Childhood Educator, Mom of triplets
100% recommend Maria.
She has helped me feel so empowered to support myself and focus on what I really needed to focus on, through even just a short few sessions I saw a massive improvement in myself and my outlook on things.
