For People Choosing the Shape of Their Lives
I work with highly sensitive and highly functioning, creative people at moments of transition, helping them listen inward, clarify direction, and build lives rooted in meaning and integrity.
At life’s turning points, creativity often comes forward with urgency.
You may be standing at a crossroads, choosing a direction, questioning a path you’ve already taken, or sensing that your inner life is asking for more space in how you live and work.
I work with people who feel deeply and think creatively, and who want a life path that honors their sensitivity, imagination, and values, without overriding themselves to fit someone else’s system.
Creativity doesn’t end; it arrives at thresholds.
Together, we create space to listen inward, settle fear in the body, and move gently toward a life shaped by creativity and meaning, without rushing, forcing, or abandoning the realities of time, responsibility, and change.
From “I waited too long” → “I’m exactly where I need to begin.”
From fear and uncertainty → grounded presence and clarity
From unfinished longings → embodied next steps
From urgency and self-doubt → steady creative devotion
Your creative life doesn’t disappear when things get complicated.
It asks to be met with more honesty, depth, and care.
What I Help With
clarifying direction when you feel pulled in many directions
making life and work choices that align with your inner world
navigating transitions without urgency or burnout
integrating creativity, embodiment, and meaning
trusting your sensitivity as intelligence, not a flaw
This work may not be a fit if:
You’re looking for productivity hacks or fast results
You prefer rigid structures over intuitive, embodied guidance

"A bonafide life-long scholar of the spiritual, Mari brings the vast wealth of her own spirit to her offerings. Her technical knowledge is far-reaching and ever growing, spanning topics from nervous system theory and somatic regulation to archetype and motivational interviewing. She combines all this with her expertise in sacred practice to produce ritualistic experiences that feel deeply rooted in primordial meaning, in addition to practical offerings addressing the struggles of the everyday artist.

“Mariana helped me learn, without judgement or comparison, that I need support as a creator and how to take steps to get it. She helped me break decades of crippling perfectionism and doubt with simple, clear action. Without her, I’d still be struggling to get my first word down on paper instead of getting my first book published.”
