ABOUT ME

Hey there, I’m Maria Botan, ENM and Relationship Coach living in the restless city of Berlin.

If you’re anything like me, I'm guessing you've figured out by now that life's not a fairytale, especially when it comes to relationships.

We don't live in a perfect world, and relationships? They can be downright messy sometimes! But here's what I believe: growth is our superpower. It's like continuously leveling up in a video game, except instead of unlocking new weapons, you unlock new levels of connection, joy, and resilience in your love life!

There will always be ups and downs, plot twists, and unexpected boss battles. But the more skills you have in your relationship toolkit, the better equipped you are to handle whatever comes your way.

We totally get the importance of learning and growing in our careers and studies, but we're just starting to realize that emotional intelligence is just as crucial (if not more!). And guess what? A healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy heart are all connected! Training your emotional intelligence, learning how to communicate better, understand your own needs, and set clear boundaries, these are skills that everyone can learn. It’s a lifelong journey of becoming the best version of yourself, and ultimately creating extraordinary relationships that reflect that amazing growth!

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

  • Certified in the Gottman Method: I draw on the renowned Gottman Institute's research-based methods for strengthening relationships, focusing on communication, conflict management, and building shared meaning.

  • NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner: I use NLP tools to help you reframe limiting beliefs, overcome fears, and create new, empowering patterns in your relationships.

  • Positive Psychology: I focus on leveraging your strengths, cultivating gratitude, and building resilience to create a positive and thriving love life.

  • The Detect, Stop, Redirect Method: My signature approach empowers you to become aware of negative patterns, interrupt them, and redirect your thoughts and behaviors towards healthier choices.

  • Personal Experience: I have personally navigated the exciting world of ENM. This has allowed me to understand the practical daily applications of theoretical frameworks.

I am committed to:

  • Creating a safe and non-judgmental space: Where you can explore your desires, fears, and vulnerabilities without feeling pressured or judged.

  • Providing evidence-based guidance: I draw on research and proven techniques to help you achieve lasting results.

  • Empowering you to take ownership of your love life: I believe that you have the power to create the relationships you desire.

  • Supporting ethical and conscious practices: I encourage honesty, respect, and communication in all relationship dynamics.

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you craft the extraordinary love story you deserve!
