We ARE living in extraordinary times of relentless, on-going change, and are constantly facing new challenges in virtually every aspect of our lives.  This is such an obvious statement that it almost has become a cliché.  For most of us today, it is very apparent that change is not showing any signs of slowing down, in fact, the pace of change seems to be accelerating all the time.  More and more people feel just slightly ‘off track’ with the life they dreamed they could live. Since change is everywhere, our ability to continually learn and adapt is directly connected with our happiness, well-being, peace and success.  Yet many of us are poor observers of ourselves. We do what we do without being aware of our actions and how they contribute to our experiences and results. You can’t change what you don’t see.  As Marcel Proust put it:  “The true journey of discovery does not consist of searching for new landscapes, but in having ‘new eyes’ ” .  The whole point of taking notice is to be more at choice about future actions and future results.  Learning to learn may very well be one of the most important life-skills of all, for all of us.

As founder and  of Tapestry of Life Coaching, Maria’s purpose and mission is to support her clients who desire to explore where they are and where they are going in their lives.  With Maria’s coaching support they can make adjustments to being ‘in the flow’ with their lives, and to re-invent themselves in this continuously changing world. Her coaching skills focus on how to work through obstacles to co-create with her clients a solution, whether it involves a life issue, a career move or a business decision.   Within her coaching practice, Maria uses a combination of philosophy, unique processes, tools, and  modalities  to open up new perspectives, or as she likes to call it “lift the shade”, or to ‘see’ what is disguised by our inherent human blindness.

Her greatest joy is to see her clients transform and become new observers of themselves and the world around them. With this higher awareness they can build a new foundation for designing their life, their relationships, and their careers.

“In times of change, those who are prepared to learn will inherit the land, while those who think they already know will find themselves wonderfully equipped to face a world that no longer exist”. Eric Hoffer

All of us are bombarded by information and reality shows which talks about our creative potential, and something in us seems to say yes, that feels so true for me.  I know my life could change in just that way. And we often set off to ‘work on it”. This is especially true when we are ready to make a major change in our lives. Unfortunately appreciating and understanding a new philosophy on an intellectual level is different and easier than being able to live it on a daily basis. We encounter challenges, feel confused, and seem to be surrounded by people who do not understand what we are struggling with and what we are going through. We get discouraged and feel depressed. It is at this point that we often discover a deep yearning in ourselves to connect with someone who has successfully walked this path we are on and who is inspired and passionate about sharing his/her experiences and learnings on that journey.

If you have not been able to get beyond an intellectual understanding of the change you want to create in your life, and you find yourself intrigued about what might be possible to create for yourself, I invite you to contact me to schedule an exploratory conversation to determine if you can benefit from personal one-on-one coaching with me.  Together we will explore your vision for your life, what is holding you back, and how together we can bridge the gap between where you are and where you desire to be.
