My coaching approach supports clients in developing emotional, conversational and relational capacity to bring their vision and grounded leadership more fully into the world.
grateful clients
I have been fortunate to work with some truly outstanding individuals. Here are some of the things they have said about their experience working with me:
“Mariana is a light - she’ll inspire and guide you in connecting with yourself. Her personal coaching helped me to develop tools and practices to engage with the personal and professional challenge I had identified and, most importantly, reframed my understanding of and compassion for myself. She is one of the best listeners I have ever met, and she combines this skill with thoughtfulness and creativity to design a personal coaching program. I highly recommend her.”
- Stefanie CHang, Deloitte (New York City)
“Mariana is a force of nature who brings her whole self to her work. She takes a powerful stand for me to see myself as the best version of me, and to get the best out of my life. She encourages me to take action based on what I want, and to have that be clear from the wants of others. In the light moments she will joyfully celebrate my wins. In the tough moments she holds a strong presence that can carry the weight of all my emotions. There is an energy that she brings to what she does that is truly unique. She is all in for you and your development.”
- Laila Al-Marashi, Life Coach (San Francisco, CA)
“I came to Mariana wanting to change my relationship to pain, to expand my capacity to hold opposing experiences, be able to choose to stay present and available during deeply uncomfortable moments. Very gently, and creatively, using tools and portals she intuited would support me, Mariana showed me how to widen that aperture. We ventured everywhere my heart seemed ready to go and I literally felt myself strengthen and grow, but without any of the force I was prone to employing, either internally or in my relationships with the world. Thanks to our work together I am committed to my own heart in new ways and I have bodily understanding of where I can turn within myself for support. My experience of Mariana's guidance was both unconstrained and completely grounded in my reality. I am grateful beyond words and measure for having Mariana as a resource, now and always.”
- traer Price, designer (st. petersburg, fl)
“Mariana me permitió identificar objetivos, recursos, y herramientas de desarrollo personal. Su apoyo y acompañamiento fue crítico y transformador. El coaching integral, a diferencia de un proceso de acompañamiento con un profesional en psicología u otro tipo de coaching, me ayudó a vislumbrar un camino de conocimiento personal a largo plazo. Mi capacidad de tomar decisiones coherentes con mis intenciones de emprendedor social se fortalecieron gracias al proceso y los recursos recibidos durante el coaching con Mariana.”
- Juan Fernando Bermudez, Emprendedor social (Colombia)
“Mariana helped me transition and transform during a very vulnerable time in my life. With her wealth of knowledge, compassionate heart, and grounded intuition, she created a space for me to dive into issues, make meaning from patterns in my life, and reflect and align with who I am and who I want to be. I am so thankful to her and know she will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of many others.”
-Jennie G., Leadership Development (San Francisco, CA)
“Mariana me ayudó a identificar la importancia de las pausas en la vida. Por más complicados que sean mis días, ahora estoy comprometida a buscar este espacio para mí. A través de su acompañamiento, aprendí a confiar en mí misma, a darme cuenta de habilidades que ya tenía y a priorizar mis necesidades. La escucha y guía de Mariana durante las sesiones me ayudó a comunicar lo que siento de una manera más precisa. Definitivamente el coaching integral me sirvió tanto en lo personal como en lo profesional, y me dio más herramientas para tener una vida ordenada y de acuerdo con mis sueños e ideales.”
– Diana Canto Moreno, Servidora Pública (México)
“El coaching con Mariana fue un espacio maravilloso para mí, sobre todo porque logramos una conexión natural, profunda y de plena confianza. Mariana me guió hacia un camino de autoconocimiento más consciente y a empezar a desarrollar algunas fortalezas de mi personalidad que estaban dormidas. Su coaching fue eficaz y útil para mi desarrollo emocional y personal.”
– Paola Castillo, Empresaria (México)
“Mariana is an authentic, empathetic and knowledgeable coach. She demonstrated her ability to personalize her approach to meet my specific needs. I learned many reflective and self-care strategies by working with her over several months. Mariana is a consummate professional and brings unique qualities to her practice. She helped me uncover my inner confidence and abilities to use tools that continue to serve me in my professional and personal life. I can’t recommend Mariana highly enough.”
