My Professional Journey

7 Jun

Hi, I am Maria, therapist, Coach and founder of Psychoenergetic Work®, a unique therapeutic modality offering a comprehensive approach that supports people holistically and initiates profound and lasting changes.

Investing in self-exploration and well-being is the best choice I have ever made, and that's why my focus is on educating people on the importance of having appropriate and dedicated spaces to unfold the inner self openly.

My professional journey and studies started in Rome
when I was 25 and are ongoing.

Since childhood, I have been interested in human behaviours, the correlation and connections between things and the emotional and spiritual world.
I grew up deeply observing the world and people around me, realising that my perspective, vision, and feelings were rather different from anybody I could relate to at that time. For this reason, I often felt misunderstood, devalued, ignored and silenced. I felt inadequate, lonely, hurt, not capable of expressing my feelings or regulating my emotions and lacking in guidance.

“We give others what we most need for ourselves”.

Every encounter is never a coincidence but rather an energetic agreement between souls, so at 25, I met somebody who reminded me and guided me toward my life‘s direction. This led me to start the Holistic Academy and meet my first Spiritual Teacher, Bernard Rouch.

I studied and practised Egyptian Essene therapies for over three years before deciding to move back to the UK. While continuing my practice, I started attending the Holistic Healing College, facilitating my professional journey to becoming a Holistic Counsellor and Life Coach. In the meantime, I also learned about Reiki and attended levels 1 and 2 in London.

In 2015, I started facilitating my own creative workshop and receiving clients privately. I decided to continue learning and becoming a better facilitator, qualifying to become a Trained Tutor.

During these years, I also had an amazing opportunity to work in school and nursery to support **neurodiverse children with** **PDA** and pupils using creative and mindful tools. This wonderful experience has widened my understanding of the mind, and every child I had the honour to work with has enriched my life experiences and brought love, meaning and deep knowledge to my journey. My studies have continued with many side courses to gain knowledge of autism and challenging behaviours.

While working in school, I embarked on a professional course to become a registered Hypnotherapist. I am currently continuing my journey in Counselling skills and Psychotherapeutic approach. I aim to continue my studies so that I can also work with children professionally and therapeutically one day.
