Testimonials
Olive, Envisioning & Backward Design Client
Few truths are as apparent to me as Maris’s intrinsic gift of guidance. Life is a series of trials by fire, and her acumen extinguishes the bluest portion of the flames. Her coaching has impacted me by guiding my life decisions towards aligning with my authentic truth and setting myself up for deep fulfillment, yet somehow without embedding her personal optics into my budding vision. I would absolutely recommend Maris to another person - any who is ready to understand their reality as mutable and their life course as flexible. She uses her vast experiences as well as her extensive research to help you navigate the many pressing concerns and questions of modern life, all while maintaining immeasurable compassion for the absurdity and pain and excitement of it all.
Alexa, Conscious Partnership Client
Maris really opened my eyes to the ways that I have internalized a narrow cultural script about what connections can and should look like, and helped me challenge that script and opened my eyes to wider possibilities. She helped me view connection through a more open and meaningful lens that really required me to dig into what I bring to relationships and what I hope to experience in them. She helped ease my anxiety about non-traditional relationships and shared really practical anecdotes and advice on communication and intimacy. I am so grateful to have had Maris’s guidance and it has changed my mindset for the better!
Alice, Single Session
Grief Client
My session with Maris helped me work through decades of unprocessed confusion and blockages that all other professionals could never get me to. Part of it is due to how she takes so much care to know her clients, but also her incredible way of helping me articulate what I was processing. With her coaching, I’ve been able to unlock a new way of processing that I will forever take into my future. I would 100% recommend Maris to anyone who is ready to grow.
Kristina, North Star Client
Maris helped transform my default ways of thinking and narrative-telling through our Other Ways series work. When I first discovered Maris, I felt stuck, cycling through similar ways of being despite doing so much, and trying so much. What was initially a 6-week series commitment turned into nearly 3 months of work together — once we got into our work, there was so much to unpack and I felt excited to see how I could shift my perspective on my life and how I exist in the world to one that not only honored where I am in my life journey but also to what I value and dream for my future. Maris has an exceptional and rare gift: she is a true teacher and guide, enabling you to feel seen, validated, and understood while helping to steer you in the direction you desire to go in. If you have the ability to work with Maris in any capacity, I highly recommend it. Maris has done the deep work, and is still doing the deep work; you have someone in your corner who not only wants to help you change you life, but also wants to help change the world — one brave and vulnerable person at a time.
Dating used to be the most horrible anxiety inducing experience of my life. I was trapped in a horrible cycle of chasing after the wrong partners, spending tons of time and energy trying to convince them to like me, and not being an authentic version of myself. To summarize, I went on exactly zero good dates. That’s where Maris changed my entire perspective and sense of self-worth through her personalized and hands on coaching. We spent hours 1:1 discussing new approaches, practicing mantras, working on self esteem and self worth, and so much more to get me to a much healthier overall mindset and into a healthy relationship (my goal for an extremely long time). Maris’s insightful and honest approach changed my entire life (seriously) she’s the best and I couldn’t be more grateful
Charlotte, Conscious
Partnership Client
Maris is an expert at unraveling the often tangled, messy, and complex feelings that surround vulnerability and companionship. Through gentle questioning, Maris teases out one’s most intricately buried social constructs, internalized expectations, hopes, and fears. In each of our sessions, Maris has unspooled the many threads that wound themselves together in my mind, allowing me to experience a series of revelations about myself and my place in the world. More concretely, without her guidance, it would have taken me years to discover the true nature of my toxic relationship –– and much longer to uproot and address its impact on my psyche. Sessions with Maris have allowed me to redefine love, friendship, and my own needs and desires therein. I’d recommend a session to anyone and everyone who wants to better understand both platonic and romantic partnerships in their lives…or simply seeks to better understand themselves.
