Hi, I’m Maria. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a deep passion for integrating somatic and mindfulness-based practices to support healing, presence, and connection. At Cove Counselling & Co., I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and life transitions—helping them build emotional resilience and move toward greater vitality.

Since 2002, I’ve been dedicated to the study and practice of mind–mind integration in the healing process. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling, a Somatic Transformation Certification, and have extensive training in somatic attachment psychotherapy. My approach is grounded in nervous system regulation and the belief that lasting change happens when we work with the whole self—thoughts, emotions, and felt experience.

In addition to my clinical work, I bring over 20 years of experience as a yoga instructor and former owner of Samadhi Yoga Studio, where I led teacher trainings in both yoga and meditation. This background continues to inform my therapeutic work with presence, curiosity, and care.

I offer individual counselling, group programs, and online workshops designed to support emotional well-being, trauma recovery, and a deeper sense of self-awareness.
