Reset Mindset

I was working with Maria pre and post court trial as a victim of domestic violence. It had been seven months since I left my abuser and I had struggled to find someone who could support me and guide me in my healing process, someone who actually understood the feelings and thought processes of a domestic violence victim. After being introduced to Maria and having my consult, it was the first time in months that I felt like I was being understood and her approach to coaching/mentoring has been incredible. She has been able to help me gain understanding of why I was the way I was post assault and is actively helping me to come to terms with what I’ve been through, but also change my thought processes to ensure a survivor mentally as opposed to being a victim. She has been able to create awareness around what to expect from the court process and is actively providing me with strategies to help me stay centered and calm during the court case. Maria has a wealth of knowledge in terms of supporting domestic violence victims and helping them to rediscover their identity. I highly recommend Maria and the work she does.

This program made a huge difference to our son. He came away positive and ready to take on the next day with good goals in mind. He learnt effective ways to help him self regulate and effectively communicate with others around him. It supported him to be a positive role-model at school. We really value and highly recommend Maria and her expertise to others. This program definitely helped and worked for our son and we would do it again. Thanks Maria

Having progressed through a traumatic and rather hideous 20+ months following the sudden death of my beautiful son, I decided it was time to start rebuilding myself and finding a way through the clouds that were in my head. Maria already knew my story (which meant that we got through sharing that information) and showed compassion, caring and understanding to what I was feeling. There was no “get over it” offered but rather “find a way to move forward“ honouring *** as I found a new me and re-found the old one. I am so thankful for the guidance and encouragement that Maria has offered. My journey still has lots of chapters to be written but at least now they might get written rather than ending up on the cutting room floor.

Maria sessions provided me noticeable change from the first session. Maria provided validation, support, encouragement and tools to make the adjustments I needed. The journey is not over, I’m still using Maria. Why stop a good thing.

After this woman told me to HAVE ANOTHER DRINK" in a very rude text message I have major concerns about her usefulness and capabilities as a LIFE COACH.I have yet to hear anything positive about her and just don't get how she is still in business so I give her a 1 out of 10 for sincerity."

Maria is nothing but positive and supportive. She has made a huge impact on the Kerikeri community, going behind the scenes with our youth and adults to support them in the changes they need to make to be better versions of themselves. Her compassion towards me and vulnerability to share her own stories have been so refreshing. I highly recommend!

Maria and her skills and knowledge has really supported me in what was needed. I would highly recommend her anytime.

Maria has coached me through several stages in my life. One particular event she helped me with was a court appearance (victim). She was extremely calming, resourceful and professional. I had no idea what I was in for and after having her guide me through it, i’d only ever take her with me should I need to appear again. I can’t thank her enough for making it a pleasant experience and I felt confident with her by my side.
