Maria’s coaching and clinical work is grounded in a somatic methodology that guides clients to decode how their past conditioning is physically organized in their body and nervous system.

By transforming these protective, automatic stress patterns into adaptive physical options, she helps clients embody an aligned, regulated presence and take values-driven action under pressure.

Born in Sydney, raised in Northern Italy, and later settled in Oregon, Maria grew up across different countries and languages. That upbringing opened her eyes early to how much culture shapes the way people express themselves — and how much can go unsaid between languages. That early awareness still shapes how she works with clients today: listening not just to what’s said, but to what the body is already saying underneath it. Maria lives in beautiful Southern Oregon with her husband and Kuro the cat.
