Maria offers a somatic approach to exploring nervous system balance, attachment styles, and identity, providing a unique and effective way to connect with your true self.
The somatic approach allows for a deeper understanding of your nervous system, attachment styles, and how they impact your life.
I'm a Somatic Attachment Practitioner and Nervous System Balance Trainer. I’m passionate about empowering you to step into a sustainable authentic life, without giving in to the grind of assimilating and hiding your true self. Through 1:1 sessions, online programs, and digital resources, I tailor personalized and action-oriented solutions for adoptees and others who have experienced relinquishment, ready to step into their authentic power. I identify as a black, biracial, transracial adoptee, mother, wife, daughter, and friend. Originally from Germany, I was adopted and raised there and now live in the United States with my husband and two daughters. With firsthand experience of the complexities of adoption, Identity and the challenges of self-discovery, I am passionate about helping others heal and grow. My work is informed and inspired by mindfulness, Energy medicine, neurofeedback, somatic exploration, eurythmy and self-development. Having identified my own adoption as a traumatic experience, coming out of the fog I spent years trying to find the right healing modalities. Challenges from finding a therapist that was able to recognize that being separated from our mothers, whether at birth or later, leaves deep buried wounds. To finally finding a therapist that wasn’t just trauma-informed but also a specialist in transracial adoption and an adoptee herself. I have been there and I found my path. I am currently in the process of creating my own program based on somatic attachment experience and equine-assisted somatic wellness. My training as a Neurofit Trainer, an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning (ESMHL) and in Somatic Attachment Therapy has equipped me with the tools to offer a unique and powerful alternative approach that combines equine-facilitated psychoeducation and somatic attachment therapy techniques to promote emotional regulation and release. My approach focuses on Somatic exploration, transgenerational trauma and attachment. I trained with Dr. Peter Levine, Dr. Scott Lyons, Dr. Fanny Brewster, Dr. Dan Siegel, Ann Weiser Cornell Dr. Gabor Maté and many others.
I believe there's power in the Struggle I've survived. It's not about my circumstances, it's about what I've learned and what my body has learned to hold.
