Empowering you to be your strong, healthy and happy self, free of limitations

Long term solutions to anxiety, stress and chronic pain

Online therapy - Face to face in Surrey, UK

Welcome

Hi!

I'm Maria, and I help people break free of what's holding them back:

  • Not sleeping?

  • Overwhelmed or exhausted?

  • Anxiety, depression or stress?

  • Chronic pain, headaches or IBS?

  • Addictive or numbing behaviours?

These are signals from your mind-body system that it’s time for change.

I know firsthand what it’s like to feel trapped by anxiety, stress, trauma, and chronic pain. For years, I searched for answers—physio, osteopathy, counselling, hypnotherapy, exercise—yet nothing brought lasting relief. But once I understood the deep connection between the mind and body, everything changed. Now, I live pain-free and have the tools to manage life's ups and downs.

And I want the same for you.

Your mind and body is designed to heal when given the right support. Through a personalised, compassionate approach, I help you regulate your nervous system, break free from old patterns, and restore balance. My goal is to empower you with practical tools for lasting relief—so you can step into a life of health, confidence, and ease.

Ready to take the first step? Let’s begin your journey to a happier, healthier you.
