Maria has an incredible gift of communicating life lessons, sharing stories of inspiration and delivering practical ways to create what is truly possible. She has an incredible ability to be “right there”, whether she is sharing or you are. While in those moments of vulnerability, joy, sadness or inspiration, you somehow know Maria feels it too. The magic and miracles come when she partners with you in those authentic moments because you can rest in her guidance of what’s next. Maria teaches us to honor ourselves and our experience, appreciate where and who we are and guides us to our own intuitiveness. Kim Folks, Retreat Participant, Kripalu Yoga Retreat Center
