What a testimonial I just got from a client - thank you!
"I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to Maria who supported me on my journey to quit smoking. This decision was not just about breaking a habit; it was about reclaiming my health and my life and it had been on my mind for years. I did want to succeed and contacted Maria who was supportive, flexible and willing to meet me for a session.
During our session, Maria gave me tools how to walk out of her session and face my life without this addiction I’ve had for so long, and I walked out feeling confident and safe. I trusted Maria and these newly learned tools and active thoughts, and her help was the thing I needed to finally become free!
I can only thank her for her heartfelt presence and for her honest willingness to help and want to give my warmest recommendations for anyone looking for help in any challenging situation in life."

A new testimonial:

"Sometimes life throws you a curveball… faced with some extreme mid-life challenges and waning energy, I was losing my footing and my confidence in my ability to cope. A friend referred me to Maria for support and I am ever grateful. Maria is a skilled coach who listens wholeheartedly. She brings her know-how, personal experience, and intuitive spirit to each session and provides authentic and personal care. Reiki was new to me, and I don’t know how it works, but it does. If you are open to this healing practice, I invite you to embrace the mystery with Maria as your trusted guide. Working with Maria has provided me with the energy and tools to better manage stressful situations and created space for renewal."

Happy New Year 2023! Frohes Neues Jahr 2023!

Hi & hello & hallo (Deutsch unten),
I hope you have had a chance to enjoy the holiday season. I went to Finland to see my family - and staying at my sister´s made sure I maximised the family-time so to say. And I also got myself a white Christmas - just like it used to be in my childhood. :)

The end/start of the year is always a time where we can look back. What were the particularly good things you would like to cherish from the year 2022 in your life? I had some ups as well as downs - probably something we can all relate to.

I decided to re-capture my year 2022 just briefly, more for the reason to know what I would like to focus on in the new year that is starting. What would I like to change, compared to last year? One of my conclusions is: I would like to connect with more like-minded people, to exchange ideas, experiences and knowledge. This is something that got lost for me during the pandemic - and still has not quite returned to what it was before. And I miss it. So I will make an effort to be more "out", reaching more people - to connect. Though targeted.

How would you like to shape or create your new year 2023? In which area of life would you like to have a change in? How can you get into a new pattern, instead of running on "old" ones..? My advice is: take it in small steps. 1st you need to make the decision - know where you are now - and what you would like to achieve or change. Then think about what you can do as a first step towards reaching your goal - whatever your goal might be.

And yes, sometimes a bit of support can make a difference as well. If you feel you would like support in your process - moving from feeling stuck - towards empowerment - just reach out and book a session.

May the year 2023 become your best year so far!

Wishing you all a joyful and wonderful holiday season!
Wūnsche Ihnen eine schöne und wunderbare Weihnachtszeit!

Hi & hello & hallo (Deutsch unten),

how are you? I hope you have had a good summer time - maybe also some vacation or time for yourself? I went for a few weeks back "home" to Finland, to spend some time with my family, meet some friends, and enjoy and relax as well.
I came across this sentence a little while ago, and it just resonated with me, so I wanted to share it with you:
*** "There is no "right" time - there is just time and what you choose to do with it".***
There are times when I need this reminder for myself: in life - it is all about priorities - what one chooses to do (or not to do) and when. I quite often talk to clients about this - everything we do, is in a way a choice - conscious or subconscious - we do or have done - from the smallest things to bigger things. Does this resonate with you? How could you use this in your life? It can be a small thing - choosing and prioritizing.
Right now, I chose to make this post. And next, I will do some preparations with my tax papers... which is something I always seem to procrastinate doing. And there is no "right" time - ever - to do them. I just now choose I will do - even if it is just another 15 min.
What do you feel could be "right" time to do?
I would be curious to hear back from you. And if you feel you need some support, if you feel stuck, or need support -you know where and how to find me - just contact me to book a session.
Wish you a good start into the "right time"-season - this coming autumn!

Hallo,
wie geht´s Dir? I hoffe du hattest eine schöne Zeit diesen Sommer? Vielleicht auch etwas Zeit für dich selbst? Ich nahm mir einige Wochen Zeit und bin nach Finnland geflogen, um etwas Zeit mit meiner Familie und Freunde zu verbringen - aber auch Zeit zum Geniessen & für Erholung.
Ich habe diesen Satz vor eine Weile her gelesen, und es hat mich getroffen:
"There is no "right" time - there is just time and what you choose to do with it". Also: Es gibt keine "richtige" Zeit - es gibt nur Zeit und was Du damit entscheidest zu tun.
Manchmal brauche ich daran erinnert zu werden; im Leben geht es eigentlich immer und bei Allem um Prioritäten - wofür ich mich entscheide - und wann. Dieses Thema kommt ziemlich oft vor im Gespräch auch mit Klienten: alles was wir tun haben wir selbst entschieden (bewusst oder unbewusst) - egal ob bei kleine oder grössere Dinge. Spricht dies vielleicht auch Dich an? Wie könntest Du dieses in deinem Leben umsetzen?
Genau jetzt habe ich mich dafür entschieden diese Nachricht Dir zu schreiben. Und als nächstes, werde ich eine Weile mit meinen Steuerdokumente hinsetzen. Dies ist irgendwas, was ich jedes Jahr verschiebe - und verschiebe. Es gibt keine "richtige" Zeit die zu machen. Ich habe mich aber entschieden, immerhin heute weitere 15 Min damit mich zu beschäftigen.
Was wäre genau "richtig" für Dich?
Ich würde mich sehr freuen, eine Rückmeldung von Dir zu bekommen. Und falls Du spürst, dass Du irgendwie fest steckst, oder mit irgendwas Unterstützung brauchst - nimm einfach Kontakt auf, und wir finden einen Termin für Dich.
Ich wünsche Dir hiermit einen guten Start in Deine "richtige" Zeit - diesen Herbst!

Happy Valentine´s Day! In Finland this is referred to as "Friend´s Day"!
I hope you have celebrated your partner, family, friends - of all kinds and sizes, furry, non-furry, and of all "colors" as well! I had a lovely furry companion today to enjoy the day with! And don´t forget - you are your best friend... 🌞🤗😍🥳

Hi, (Deutsch unten)

I wanted to take a moment to write you a few lines, now that we have stepped into the new year 2022.

I hope you got a chance to relax and enjoy the holiday season - maybe also with some time for reflection? Looking back, the time and the whole year of 2021 pretty much just flew by... on other hand, it felt a bit like being out on the sea - sometimes storms appeared from what seemed from nowhere, though at times there were (hopefully) some calmer waters. Life has its ups and downs - though the last couple of years even more so with the pandemic.

Starting a new year gives us all an opportunity for a fresh start, for a new perspective, releasing old habits and patterns, creating and starting new ones, and so forth... In short: a new year gives us each an opportunity to reflect - and also to adjust anything we are not fully satisfied with.

What do you think the year 2022 can bring you? What would you like to focus on? I don´t mean if/what resolutions you may have made. Rather in line: Is there a change or shift you would like to do in some area of your life? And no worries if you haven't had the time for reflection yet. I believe one can invite a shift or a change at any point of our lives. We just need to take a moment, reflect upon where we are - and to decide what we actually want. Sometimes it is easier to start with what we don´t want - and that is also ok. I have a quote on the backside of my business card: "The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide, you are not going to stay where you are" (quote by John Pierpont Morgan). This quote has stayed with me for quite some time already, and it just still resonates with me.

And yes, sometimes a bit of support can make a difference as well for taking your first steps towards getting somewhere. If you feel you would like support in your process - moving from feeling stuck - towards empowerment - just reach out and book a session.

Wishing you all the very best for this new year - may it bring you many joyful & love-filled moments, loads of happiness, time for yourself & your loved ones, good health - and success as well!

Very best regards & take care,
Maria 🌞🙏🤗
