Maria, coach and therapist

It’s time for…

A Richer Life.
A Deeper Love.

Coaching and therapeutic support for couples and individuals seeking greater intimacy, confidence, connection and fulfilment.

Welcome

Discover the skills for living and loving well


Fully living and loving are at the heart of the human experience. In our most privileged moments, life feels vibrant and alive: love flows naturally, intimacy deepens, and we feel connected to ourselves and those we cherish.

Yet for many of us, these moments are rare. Relationships become strained, intimacy fades, self-doubt takes hold, and we find ourselves living far below what our hearts know is possible. The good news is that love, intimacy, confidence and connection are not merely matters of luck. They are capacities that can be cultivated.

Through coaching and therapeutic support, I help couples and individuals develop the skills, awareness and emotional intelligence needed to create more fulfilling relationships, deeper intimacy, and a life that feels genuinely alive.

Drawing on more than twenty years of teaching yoga and tantra, alongside degrees in Psychology and Philosophy, I bring together modern psychological understanding with practical wisdom for living and loving well.

Who I Help

I work with people who sense that more is possible


Whether you are overcoming difficulties or simply responding to a desire for greater aliveness, our work together focuses on developing the skills and awareness that allow love and life to thrive.

Why Love & Life Skills?

Bringing together ancient wisdom and modern psychology


For more than twenty years I have explored what helps people live more fully and love more deeply. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I help clients develop the practical skills, emotional awareness and embodied presence that support lasting transformation.

“Love is not merely something we find. It is something we learn. A fulfilling life is not something that happens to us. It is something we cultivate.”
What Is Possible?

Imagine a life where…

  • Conversations feel easier and more honest
  • Intimacy is a source of connection rather than tension
  • You trust yourself more deeply
  • You feel comfortable expressing your desires and needs
  • Love feels less like hard work and more like a living practice
  • You experience greater vitality, confidence and joy
A grounded, experiential approach to change
My Approach

How we work together


My work integrates psychology, philosophy, mindfulness, yoga and tantric awareness into a grounded and experiential approach to change. I bring together an understanding of the mind, meaning and behaviour with a lived exploration of awareness, presence and connection. Growth happens through awareness, experience and practice.

What we may work with:

  • Understanding emotional and relational patterns
  • Improving communication and connection
  • Developing emotional awareness and self-understanding
  • Bringing attention to both body and mind in experience
  • Strengthening self-trust and confidence
  • Creating practical, lived transformation in daily life

The aim is not only insight, but transformation that is felt: in how you relate, how you communicate, how you inhabit yourself, and how you connect with others.

Meet Maria

An approach shaped by two decades of practice


I have spent more than twenty years helping people develop greater presence, connection and self-awareness through the teaching of yoga and tantra. Alongside degrees in Psychology and Philosophy, this experience has shaped an approach that combines intellectual understanding, emotional insight and embodied practice.

My passion is helping people discover what becomes possible when they learn the skills of living and loving well.

In Their Words
“We’ve had the pleasure to enjoy a private Tantra weekender with Maria as 2 befriended couples. It was an amazing experience. Under the guidance of a very skillful and charismatic Maria, we took the time to connect and celebrated our love together. We really love it and recommend Maria!”
— Esther & Harold
"Maria is an intuitive, empathetic, wise and compassionate coach. She listens so deeply that you start to express things about yourself that you did not even know — your own wisdom starts to come forth and shape your life. She has great integrity, a truly loving heart, and is genuinely alongside you in your process. I thoroughly recommend Maria for both individual and couples coaching. She has a deep understanding of how love relationships work — exploring what nurtures love, identifying unexpressed desires and the blockages where our conditioning has led us. Her practices take you to a deeper, more truthful level: feeling at one in yourself, and feeling together in happy harmony as a couple."
— Vivienne, London
"Maria made me feel at ease straight away. She creates a safe space to explore and be vulnerable. She has a wealth of knowledge and gives the perfect balance of teaching and listening. I'd definitely recommend her."
— Georgia, London
“Maria is an extraordinary teacher. She marries her studied knowledge of the dynamics of relationships with her deep appreciation of the spiritual in equal measure. But what makes her special is her unique talent for articulating these important concepts and for sharing how to put them into practice with intention and love. Her natural kindness and empathy inform every session, so one feels a deep connection built on trust that is a model of healthy, loving relationships.”
— Emily and Patrick
“I’ve been practising yoga for more than twenty years, and Maria’s teaching is on a completely different level. Her knowledge goes far beyond the physical practice — she weaves together ancient wisdom, embodiment, psychology, and a deep understanding of what it means to be human. Working with Maria as a coach had a profound impact on my life. At a time when I felt completely stuck, she wrote me a simple sentence that changed everything: ‘Your heart probably already knows the answer. Let’s find out.’ Something clicked — I realised I’d been looking everywhere for answers except within myself, and that our hearts often know long before our minds do. She also helped me reconnect with my femininity in midlife, rediscovering a confidence and softness I thought I’d lost — not becoming someone different, but remembering who I already was. Maria has a rare gift for creating a space where you feel deeply seen, supported, and gently challenged to grow. Whether in her yoga classes or as a coach, you learn to understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that shape your life, and to make decisions aligned with your authentic self rather than driven by fear. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
