1:1 Coaching
Support that’s practical, calm, and real — for people navigating big shifts.
You’ve been holding it together for a long time. You’re capable, responsible — and on the surface, things look fine. But underneath? Something’s shifting. Maybe it’s a major life event.
Maybe it’s the quiet realisation that you can’t keep living like this. Or maybe it’s just a growing voice saying, “I want more. I want me.”
This work is for people who’ve always done what’s expected — and are finally ready for something real.
What it looks like
Sessions are shaped by what you need: reflection, movement, clarity, or steadiness. I use a blend of traditional coaching, somatic practices, mentoring, and lived experience — depending on what’s most useful in the moment. All of my work is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in real life.
You won’t be rushed — but we won’t stay stuck, either. This is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you feel more like yourself again — and building a life that actually fits.

Who this is for
This work is for you if:
You’re navigating a life transition — or simply know things can’t stay how they are
You’ve spent years adapting, overfunctioning, or trying to please others
You’re ready to stop performing and start living in a way that’s more honest
You’re open to body-based work, but want something practical too
You want a grounded, no-fluff space to feel, reflect, and move forward
You don’t need to be “ready” in a polished way.
You just need to be curious — and willing to show up.
Who this isn’t for
This work might not be for you if:
You’re looking for a quick fix, a rigid plan, or constant accountability
You want someone to tell you exactly what to do
You’re not open to exploring the emotional, relational, or embodied layers of your experience
You’re in crisis or active trauma that would be better supported by a therapist or clinical setting
Ready to talk?
Let’s start with a free, no-pressure call.
We can have a cup of tea, you can ask questions, share what’s going on, and see if it feels like the right fit.

“Maria is a powerful coach, who provides both compassionate support and firm guidance.
She is a great listener who skilfully poses questions that will challenge you to reach new depths of self-awareness. Her coaching has helped me tremendously because she is fully present, committed and not afraid to ask difficult questions. This is why I always leave our sessions feeling well-resourced to conquer life! I totally recommend working with Maria.”

“Maria invites a space for you to step in to safely, and holds this and you with such exquisite presence. She brings such a beautiful gentle approach and yet so very clear and direct in her ability to tap in to the body’s wisdom, allowing you the opportunity to explore more deeply your inner landscape. Profound shifts have happened in the sessions I have had with Maria allowing me to live my life more authentically, being able to let go of the stored trauma that has been stuck in my body for so long has been so freeing and liberating. Thank you.”

“I have been seeing Maria for over six months and have found her to be very professional and attentive. Maria provides insight into the way that the brain and body function when certain situations arise, and that education really helped me to understand what is happening. She also gave me some good exercises to work on when they do. I have been extremely impressed with both her knowledge and coaching, enabling me to start changing my mindset and becoming a more confident and happier person.The sessions are relaxed, and you feel safe that there is no judgement - just an understanding ear ”

“Maria's straight-talking approach was just what I needed. I was feeling overwhelmed with options, and she gave me the space to fully explore them. Her feedback was direct and grounded in common sense. Coaching helped me to clarify my goals, understand my motivations and prioritise. Four months later, I've been able to implement the things I was struggling with. Maria isn't afraid to challenge, and her no-bullshit approach is appreciated. She is the procrastination slayer. She also brings her warm sense of humour into every session. I'd recommend Maria's coaching to anyone feeling adrift or stuck. She has a combo of energy, empathy, life experience and proven business expertise. Don't pass up the opportunity to benefit from this. ”

“I recently took a 1:1 Coaching session with Maria. I was suffering from a lack of direction and motivation, and knew that I needed a coach with a no-nonsense, direct approach to problem solving. Maria is that and a lot more. She told me what I needed (rather than wanted) to hear, and supported me in setting achievable and sustainable business goals. Her help has gone beyond our initial session together - she has been generously available to answer my questions, and has helped keep me on track by checking on my progress regularly. I would thoroughly recommend Maria for anyone needing some help in getting their business more organised and profitable.”

“Signing up for a 1:1 coaching session with Maria was one of the best decisions I’ve made for Food Is Life. Before sitting down with Maria I knew I wanted my nutrition business to take over the world, and she’s one of the first people that didn’t laugh in my face and understood my hunger and determination to make that happen. Maria took in every detail of my business, personal life and my goals to help me unpick key areas, so I could get a bigger bang for my buck. To say she’s changed the way I work is an understatement. From time management during the week, to working on aspects of social media and branding, I will be forever grateful to Maria for pushing me to the next level and more than anything, believing in me and Food Is Life. She’s a very smart lady in many areas of life and business, and if you’re a business that wants to grow but are not sure how to do it, there’s nobody else on this planet I would recommend more! ”
