The wounding becomes sacred when we are willing to release our old stories and to become the vehicles through which the new story may emerge into time.

- Jean Houston

Soul-Centered Healing

Maria calls her work Soul-Centered Healing because the root of suffering and freedom from suffering is beyond the psyche, the mind, and external events; it resides within each person, in the soul. Maria strongly believes that every choice we make is a choice to remain asleep or to wake up and be alive. When we are Soul-Centered, we are in our wholeness, aligned with the harmonics of nature and the cosmos. Our Souls are not exclusive like our minds. Our Souls can show us where we’re imprisoning ourselves and hand us the key to freedom. The term Soul-Centered Self is synonymous with our Consciousness, Indigenous Self, or God-Self.

Maria sees the energy inside our bodies as rivers flowing through channels, much like the meridian lines in Chinese Medicine. The rivers become dammed through traumas, which we then keep alive through reliving them and feeling victimized by our pasts. Dams can dissolve in an instant, with a choice. But usually when we come close to dissolving a dam and freeing our vital energy, the part of us attached to our pain resists. Our attached self wants to stay with what is familiar, though it may be inhibiting our ability to feel truly alive and offer our pure gifts to the world. The energy being dammed is our Soul energy – our life force or vital force. When it cannot flow freely, we will feel fragmented, chopped up, separated from parts of ourselves and the rest of creation. We will not be able to truly know ourselves or others. Maria’s work focuses on allowing the dams to dissolve naturally through the conscious awakening of the healee.

SOUL-CENTERED HYPNOTHERAPY
is a shamanic style of hypnotherapy, where Maria gently guides you into your subconscious mind to complete any unfinished work that is holding you back from wholeness. Such a session may include freeing and healing frozen energy from traumas, transforming habits, phobias, or limiting behaviors, or reincorporating parts of the self that have been suppressed, such as a creative gift or inner-power. By completing this unfinished work you are bringing yourself even more into the present moment, thereby having more access to your creativity, abundance, and vitality. With committment to the healing process, you will experience profound and long-lasting changes in your life.

INTUITION MEDICINE
is a healing method that calls upon your innate personal energy systems to clear blockages, disease, emotional attachments, and imbalance. Maria uses her skills as a clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient, to "read" your subtle-energy body, and using your own energy, heal and seal any places where you are losing life-force.

An Intuition Medicine session may include aura and chakra balancing,
updating contracts, past-life integration, and meeting and working with spiritual guides. Intuition Medicine sessions also include instruction on how to develop your intuition and maintain the health of your energy body.

"As a core faculty member to our program, I thoroughly trust Maria's ability to hold sacred ceremonial space in a nurturing and profound way. She has adept and knowing in her facilitation skills that is rare among teachers."
- M. Patterson, N.D., Director of Consciousness, Healing, and Ecology at New College

"Maria's ability to go to the depth and heart of a wide variety of healing issues is truly amazing. Even more satisfying is the number of tools she has available to her once she perceives that issue. (Which in my experience she does quickly and consistently) The sessions we've done together have been some of the most powerful in my whole life. I walk away brought back into my deep center with a profound sense of well being and powerful and tangible tools to help keep me there."
- D. Margoliash, Reiki Master, Master in Intuitive Medicine

"Maria is a healer, pure and simple. She has the gift to help us activate and encourage our energy within. I am most moved by her silent presence which provides those in her midst a safe place to penetrate to the soul."
- D. Nussbaum, MA Clinical Psychology

"The work Maria does is powerful, yet nurturing. During hypnotherapy sessions it feels like she is guiding me back to my true essence. The work we have done has connected me to my strength and clarity and reminded me that it has always been there, even when I thought I'd lost it."
- E. Reuter
