In 1999, I stood at a crossroads - a moment that called me to leave behind a successful corporate career and step into the unknown. As a sole parent of two young children, the decision to start a health and wellness business was both bold and deeply personal. I couldn’t have imagined then how that leap of faith would lead me to a life filled with meaning, transformation, and service.

My own journey of healing - rooted in the impact of early childhood trauma - has shaped everything I offer today. Those experiences became the foundation of my strength and intuition, awakening in me a profound empathy and the capacity to walk alongside others through their own challenges.

For over two decades, I’ve supported individuals to reconnect with their inner wisdom, release limiting beliefs, and rediscover their sense of self. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, burnout, or a longing for greater purpose, I hold a safe and sacred space for healing to unfold. My approach is gentle, heart-led, and grounded in a deep understanding of both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of life.

As a counsellor, Reiki Master, hypnotherapist, and intuitive guide, I blend evidence-based therapies with energetic and soulful practices. Together, we explore what’s ready to be released - and what’s waiting to be remembered within you.

Writing has always been a natural extension of my work. Through my books, articles, and teachings, I share insights and reflections that speak to the human and spiritual journey. My words have reached readers across the world, offering comfort, clarity, and inspiration to those seeking a deeper connection with themselves.

At the heart of all I do is a simple truth: when the heart knows, the mind follows.

It’s from this place that I meet each person - with compassion, presence, and a belief in the power of healing and transformation.

I look forward to walking beside you on your journey.

With love, Maria x

One of the most important aspects of community is to ensure we support and care for each other. Below are the four causes close to my heart:

Yourtown – Kids Helpline - As a child growing up in a home affected by domestic violence, there was no Kids Helpline or support service I could turn to. Today, I'm incredibly grateful that such services exist, offering children and young adults a safe space to navigate the complex emotions and challenges that can impact their well-being and happiness. To learn more about this invaluable service, click here.

Animal Aid - As an animal lover, I understand how they can, and do, enhance our lives in many wonderful ways. Our domestic animals need to be cherished and nurtured as part of our family. Find out more here.

Make A Wish Foundation - I had the pleasure of being a volunteer for a period of time. This organisation is for the benefit of children who have life threatening medical conditions. They grant wishes specifically requested by the child giving hope, strength and a little joy to all those involved. Family, friends and volunteers all benefit from the smile and delight of the child receiving the gift. I personally feel these beautiful children have an amazing strength and resilience, and teach us so much about the human spirit. Find out more here.

Scope - For people with a disability. Personally I have been a volunteer with the intellectually disabled from the age of 16 and worked for a number of years raising funds for Cooinda Hill in Gippsland. I continue to work with, and feel blessed in the presence of those with disabilities. People with disabilities have so much to share and teach us, and it was Charlotte my cerebral palsy client, who encouraged me to leave the corporate life, and work in Reiki full time. She kindly said, "Maria I am your messenger and this is the path you must travel". I listened, and I have never looked back, and will be forever grateful for her sharing this message.
