Maria heals trauma by breaking its cycles. Through parent coaching, she empowers parents, caregivers, and educators to curb a child's challenging behavior and deeply connect while tending to their own needs through self-care.
Maria considers herself a veteran of trauma as she and her family immigrated to the US from Moscow Russia because of religious persecution. At 8 years old, she could not comprehend what was going on so it was a difficult transition due to a language barrier, living in close quarters with her family and grandparents, and rough family relations. She says during that time, the family was in "survival mode" and didn’t take time to process feelings.
Today she takes her knowledge and experience to help serve people through hard times and adopt necessary skills to overcome traumatic situations.
