Stop Pretending You're Fine.
Psychologist-guided grounded reset
for women who have been strong too long
If you’re in a major life transition: divorce, relocation, career shift, loss, and you’re exhausted from holding it all together, you don’t need another self-help book. You need a grounded way to meet what you’re living, one present moment at a time
This Is For You If:
You’re 35-55 and in a major life transition
You’ve been the strong one, the capable one, the one who holds everything together and your body is feeling the cost
You feel anxious, numb, flat or wired even when nothing looks “wrong on paper”
You’re stuck in loops of overthinking, people-pleasing, or shutting down to cope
You want psychological depth, not quick fix affirmations or another online challenge
If you keep thinking “I cannot keep going like this,” this is your starting point.
The Grounded Reset: How I Work
My approach isn’t theoretical. It is the path I walked to rebuild after my marriage collapsed, I moved countries with two kids, and I had to keep going when my mind, body, and life felt completely overstretched.
This is what actually helped me function, feel and start again.
Ground
We begin by slowing everything down. You land back in your body. We use simple grounding and breath so you feel just enough safety to be honest with yourself. Nothing is "wrong" with you. You are overloaded and running on old survival settings. We start from that truth.
Map
You and I map the last 12 to 24 months in clear headlines through the lens of your body, your emotions and your habits. What actually happened. What you have been holding. Why you are so tired. This is where you start to see that your reactions makes sense.
Spot
We identify the exact places where you abandon yourself to keep the peace, stay in control, or just survive. The yes that should have been a no. The shutdown. The over functioning. You hear your patterns in your own words, often for the first time.
Align
We define your Grounded Self for this season of your life. Not a vague “best self”, but the woman you want to be now. How she shows up in conflict, money decisions, boundaries, parenting, work. You leave with a simple description you can hold onto and check in with daily.
Move
Together we choose one clear focus for the next 90 days and break it into two or three weekly actions your current capacity can handle. I teach you the NowIt Reset as your instant 90 second in the moment practice that you can use anywhere: in the car, in the bathroom, in the middle of a hard conversation or meltdown.
This is the backbone of all my work - from a single 90-minute session to a full 90-day reset.
Which Path Is Right For You?
If you want a gentle daily shift, begin with Calm Again in 7 Days.
If you want a fast but deep reset, start with the NowIt Session.
If you want 90 days of ongoing support, book the
1 : 1 Grounded Reset.
If you want individual, personalized support, book a 1 : 1 session.
If you are unsure, book a discovery call and we will explore it together.
Your reset begins the moment you choose yourself.

What Women Say
“I finally learned how to stop spiralling and actually breathe again. Maria changed my life.”
“I thought I needed a complete life overhaul. What I needed was a moment - the way Maria teaches it.”
Meet Maria
Maria's life has taken her across continents and through storms that would break most people - Zimbabwe, South Africa, the UK, Australia, Barcelona, Greece.
She rebuilt her life after a marriage that unravelled financially and emotionally, becoming a single mother overnight, supporting addiction recovery, losing everything at 43, and starting again - with grace, grit and fierce presence.
Through ACT, Positive Intelligence, Conscious Leadership, yoga, and her own lived resilience, she discovered a truth:
The present moment saves you - if you let it.
She also teaches her clients how to use AI as a gentle mirror, not a guru, so they can keep reflecting and regulating between sessions, instead of spiralling alone.
Her work is not theoretical. It is the daily practice that helped her survive, soften and rise.
Now she teaches women how to ground themselves in chaos, shift their inner world, and live the life that calls to them - not the life that collapsed behind them.
