Hi, I’m Mariana.
I’m a queer Mexican-American Latinx living in Berlin, Germany. I’m a certified Transformational Life Coach, Shamanic Practitioner, Curandera, and Reiki Master.
Originally from Sausalito, California, in many ways I’ve always been a coach, healer and a guide. I was a sailing coach for 7+ years, helping kids realize their competitive sailing dreams. I later went down a more traditional trajectory of getting a formal education, graduating from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Political Science. In 2014, I moved to Berlin and where I began to work for various startups and NGOs.
After suffering through a mental health crisis compounded by burnout from the 9-5, I stumbled onto my healing journey. I had gone too long without examining and sitting with the traumas and attachment wounds that I’d been dragging through my life.
Through therapy, coaching, meditation, shamanism and energy healing, I found my way towards my true self to create a conscious life of genuine freedom.
It was on my journey to re-membering and returning to my most authentic self that I felt called become a Curandera, Coach and Shamanic Reiki practitioner.
My purpose is to empower and guide you on your healing journey, helping you reconnect with your innate ability to heal yourself.
I draw on a powerful blend of trauma-informed, contemporary, and ancient healing modalities to support your transformation. In addition to Shamanic practices and Reiki energy healing, I integrate tools such as mindfulness, meditation, diverse psychological approaches, and nervous system awareness. Together, these methods create a deeply transformative experience that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit, allowing you to reclaim balance and vitality.
