ABOUT ME

Hey there, I'm Maria - an ENM (Ethical Non-Monogamy) and Relationship Coach living in the ever-evolving city of Berlin.

If you're anything like the amazing folks I get to work with, I'm guessing you've been through some real relationship plot twists and boss battles. Maybe you and your partner have hit a gridlock, with the same fights playing on repeat. Or perhaps you're going through a major life transition: starting a family, exploring new sexual or emotional boundaries, or reinventing yourselves as individuals. These moments can feel equal parts terrifying and exhilarating, can't they?

I know those feelings all too well. I've walked the path of heartbreak and growth myself. I've experienced the agony of feeling disconnected from my partner, the confusion of navigating unfamiliar emotional territory, the ache of letting go. But I've also discovered the profound joy and resilience that can emerge from these dark times.

That's why I'm so passionate about this work. I truly believe that growth is our superpower. It's like leveling up in a video game, except instead of unlocking new weapons, you unlock new depths of connection, joy, and inner strength. There will always be ups and downs, but the more tools you have in your relationship toolkit, the better equipped you are to handle whatever comes your way.

Look, we all know the importance of learning and growing in our careers and studies. But what about our emotional intelligence? That's the real secret sauce for creating the extraordinary relationships we crave. Training your communication skills, understanding your own needs and boundaries, these are game-changing life skills that anyone can learn.

As an ENM and Relationship Coach, I've had the honor of guiding countless individuals and couples through these pivotal moments. I bring a profound understanding of the human heart, forged through my own journey. I know what it takes to love deeply while also preserving your wholeness.

My approach isn't about prescriptive solutions, it's about empowering you to make the best choices for your unique circumstances. Together, we'll cultivate the courage to be vulnerable, navigate tricky emotions like jealousy and NRE, and discover new ways to reignite passion and intimacy.

Most importantly, I'll help you develop the discernment to know when to persevere and when to let go. Because the greatest act of love is sometimes the willingness to release - of our partners, our expectations, even parts of ourselves. It's about honoring your growth, even when it means radically reshaping your relationships.

If you're ready to embark on this transformative journey, I'd be truly honored to be your guide. Let's level up your love life and unlock the relationship superpowers that are already within you. Because the future you crave is closer than you think.

My approach is holistic, modern, and growth-oriented, integrating proven psychology and coaching techniques:
