So Tell Me...

Are you someone who is...

Doing everything for everyone else—and it's still never enough?
Waking up already tired, with a mind that won't stop spinning?
Longing for calm, but terrified something will fall apart if you slow down?
Wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again?

If so... You're in the right place.

Hi, I'm Maria

I'm a psychologist, mindfulness teacher, and transformational coach—but I'm also a mother who knows what it's like to feel pulled in every direction.

I help women reconnect with who they are—not just "mum," but whole people with needs, desires, and an identity beyond everyone else's expectations.

That’s how I got here

Ten years ago, I looked calm on the outside—but inside, I was constantly wired, running on adrenaline, and quietly falling apart. I knew something had to change.

So I turned inward—into the practices I now teach: mindfulness, psychology, and transformational coaching.

Then I became a mother. And everything had to evolve.

That's when the MIBA Method was born: a four-step approach to Map What's Happening, Interrupt the Pattern in Real Time, Build Your Foundation, and Align with What Matters.

This is a practical, research-backed approach rooted in real life—for women who want to understand themselves more deeply and create lasting transformation, not just a quick fix.

My Approach: Going Beneath the Surface

Here's what I've learned through my training and real life as a mother: real, lasting change doesn't happen through quick fixes. It happens when you understand what's really driving your patterns—in both your mind and your body.

That's why my work blends:

Psychology - understanding your thoughts, beliefs, and patterns
Mindfulness – tuning into what you're actually experiencing, not just reacting to it
Somatic work – reconnecting with what your body is telling you

I'm a qualified psychologist with a Master's in Mindfulness-Based Interventions, an MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) teacher, an ICF-accredited transformational coach, and trained in somatic healing practices including yoga and sound therapy.

But I'm also a mother who knows you can't always carve out an hour for self-care when someone needs a snack, a nappy change, and your attention all at once.

That's why the MIBA Method is designed to meet you where you are—practical enough for overwhelmed days, deep enough to create real transformation.

Here's what we'll work on together:

Understand what's really happening — We'll identify the beliefs and patterns beneath the overwhelm, so you can see what you've been carrying and start to shift it
Regulate when you need to — You'll learn body-based tools to calm your nervous system in the moment—practical techniques you can use even when life is chaotic
Reconnect with who you are — We'll clarify what actually matters to you and help you make decisions aligned with who you are—not who everyone expects you to be
Build lasting change — This isn't just about managing stress better, it's about transforming how you think, feel, and show up in your life

I’ll show you how>>>

Sarah T., Working Mum of Two

Using this Method gave me permission to slow down without guilt. I used to think self-care was selfish and unnecessary — now I know it's what keeps me showing up for everyone I love.

Emma L., Teacher & Mother

Maria helped me see that I wasn't broken, just burned out. Within weeks, I had tools I could actually use when my kids were melting down or work was overwhelming. I finally feel like myself again.

Jen M., Writer & Mother

I was skeptical at first, but Maria's approach is so practical. No fluff, just real strategies that work in real life. After the toolkit, I then moved onto coaching to work at a deeper level. It's been transformational.

Backed by research from sources like:

Grounded in psychology, built for real life

My approach combines evidence-based practices from clinical psychology, mindfulness research, and somatic work—with the real-life understanding of what it's like when you're exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on empty.

This work is informed by research and clinical practice in:

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR),
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Trauma-informed approaches
Transformational coaching.

Here's what I know to be true:

Guilt isn't proof of love.

Your thoughts aren’t facts — and they don’t get to run the show

You're allowed to want more space, more ease, and more joy.

You don't need to have it all figured out to start.

You are not broken. You're just exhausted—and that can change.
