About
Hi, I'm María, certified Aware Parenting Coach, Masters in Psychology and International Relations, and mama in a beautifully chaotic multicultural blended family.
I used to be a high-achiever: working for Bill Gates, pulling in 10K a month, fluent in five languages, flying airplanes... but I didn’t know how to understand my 5 year old or say sorry to my partner. I couldn’t resolve conflict.
My childhood had its scars, and I poured all my energy into success — outside the home. But inside, I was lost. I couldn’t see myself, so I couldn’t be truly present for my child. Now? I help parents prepare and repair — so we can stop repeating what hurt us, and build something better. It’s time to break the cycle.
Empowering Change Through Awareness With over 15 years of advocating for women's rights and children's health, my mission extends beyond the conventional. I left a high-profile consultancy with Bill Gates to establish Mamamaria, driven by a vision to awaken the profound importance of preparing for parenthood and healing our own childhood wounds. My approach is deeply influenced by my own experiences within a loving yet dysfunctional family, blending Aware Parenting, addiction recovery, spirituality, neurobiology, and practical parenting into a holistic, transformative experience.
A Guide Who's Walked the PathThrough healing my own family system and embracing my passion for well-being, I understand the bumpy road of becoming a parent and parenting and the threads it entails. My goal is to help you create strong, aware bonds with your children, fostering a lot of unconditional love for yourself and your little ones. Because I believe that the quality of a child's early experiences profoundly impacts their (our!) entire life, I'm here to guide you toward parenting that is mindful, loving, and rooted in awareness.

Testimonials
I would recommend Maria without hesitation to friends. I would have full confidence that she would explore the issues they are facing and work with them on solutions that garnered real change like she did with our family.
The SMART Parenting program is definitely a must for couples who are about to become parents. I strongly recommend it.
She inspired me and gave me the tools I needed to become not only a better mom, but a better self.
The entire course and Maria's coaching sessions were mind-blowing! The SMART course helped me to be more at ease and better balance my life I have become much more aware about my own parenthood.
