Maria entered the corporate arena in the 80s as an executive high flyer. The 'work hard, play hard' banking realm led to a spiritual and physical exhaustion that ultimately set Maria on a soul-seeking path of travel and the ancient practice of yoga. She found her calling; to celebrate and teach yoga, pranayama, meditation and the life-affirming joy of radiant health.
After becoming an accredited teacher at the Australian Institute of Yoga Therapy in 1998, Maria became a change agent, dovetailing her marketing expertise and wellness training to pioneer 'working yoga'. Maria brought this profound tool to CEOs and corporations such as ACP, Fairfax, Channel 9 and PricewaterhouseCoopers helping employees reimagine the niche extremism of other worldly spiritual concepts in highly relatable ways, helping alpha achievers in high-stress environments find peace, re-energise and tap into their potential to integrate mind and body.
Today, after 21 years of teaching, Maria brings her 'yoga therapy' healing to students from all walks of life, treating illness as an expression of unbalance and counselling students on how to nourish their body back to flourishing health. Maria's treatments, classes and retreats combine complementary healing traditions such as Qi-gong, Akupunkt and Reiki with the many yoga disciplines that Maria has studied.
Maria also works one-on-one with private clients, acting as a holistic guide across several modalities, offering nourishment for body and soul. The empowerment and resilience that yoga brings has helped Maria personally navigate through her own life stages; her mastery as a teacher is in counselling others on how to ignite their own inner strength, wisdom and happiness.
Warm, joyous, grounded, intuitive yet spiritually rounded, Maria is the beating heart and living embodiment of her teaching.
