Yoga Therapy and Psycho-Spiritual  counselling may benefit a wide variety of common ailments, such as: stress, depression, digestive disorders, headaches - to name but a handful. 

O
ne of the most profound benefits of this style of integrative therapy, is that it offers a practical, holistic approach that may bring a deeper sense of peace, balance and understanding - whatever you are experiencing in life. In essence, the journey is about coming back into your personal power so that you can make positive life choices and changes where necessary. We always work with compassion for where you are at in order to make progress and honour the process by working gently, taking one step at a time.


Layer by layer, emotions that have been buried over many years rise to the surface so that they can be felt. It is only then that we can begin to understand our deep rooted patterns of behaviour and responses, release what is no longer helpful, so that healing and integration can take place.

Depending on the needs of an individual, I use gentle yoga postures, psycho-spiritual counselling and breath work, as well as guided meditation, visualisation, healing and where necessary, past life regression, to assist this process. By doing this, we  bypass the analytical, controlling and often judgmental mind, and step into a space that allows for real clarity and insight.


It is well-known that unresolved mental and emotional pain can be held within the physical body, causing stress, tension and anxiety, which can eventually lead to illness. The mind, body and soul connection is far deeper than many of us would ever imagine, which is why this kind of therapy, working with the 5 layers of consciousness: body, breath, mind/emotions, soul & spirit, may be helpful.

Client Comments:

Maria you have been the most amazing guide and facilitator in helping me see through and release many layers of trapped emotional patterns through to the deepest and most life inhibiting energetic patterns from this life and from past lives. We each have to do our own work and commit 100% to walking our own paths to freedom, but we all need help along the way and I could not have found anyone better to hold my hand and really enable me to go to the deepest depths which has helped allow true healing, true peace and true freedom. No one else I have ever met can hold the space required that is non-judgemental, unconditionally loving, open, warm and full of heartfelt energy. In this space the darkness within can come into the loving light. I send you all my love and gratitude, wonderful Maria, you have helped me so much xx

I have used Maria's sessions for personal development work and at times when I have experienced emotional 'blips'.  I have especially found her services essential during the pandemic and processing the emotional after effects. Doing this work hasn't been easy but I have grown on so many levels and appreciate and understand myself so much better than before.  And I continue to do so.  Maria's warm and compassionate approach, along with her humour and that rare ability to make you feel seen, heard and held instantly put me at ease to open up, trust and feel safe.  Because I have prioritised my mental/spiritual health and have been committed to showing up and doing the work, I am stronger, more aware and able to ride those waves of uncertainty much more confidently.  Yes, I wobble, but the work I've done with Maria helps me recover quicker and appreciate what it is to be wonderfully human!

Wonderful, gentle, calming, sensitive and restorative yoga, meditation and counselling. Nourishment for the soul.... I think everyone should have this experience. We'd all be happier, less fearful, more confident, more optimistic and feel more loved if we did. Its like a hug when you need it most

(Veronica) 


My experience of Maria's classes and yoga therapy sessions have been life changing. I've been attending the classes for so many years and it has become a haven for me. I don't know what I would do without my weekly retreat!

(Annabelle)   


Beautiful sessions, thank you! 

I was very confused about my life when I first came to see you because all the things that used to make me happy, no longer did. I was looking for a therapist who I would feel safe enough to talk to about things I didn't even understand myself really. Someone who came to your classes handed your card to me a year ago and I put it in my purse and that's where it stayed. It took me a year to get around to contacting you because I was busy (scared). I know I was seeking a deeper meaning and purpose to my life, I suppose I was looking for something more, maybe a 'spiritual something' as my life had become so out of balance I didn't even recognise myself when I looked in the mirror.

My life and head are always full of 'stuff' but I actually felt completely empty. I made lists all the time, lists of things to do. I even made lists of lists. My thoughts (mostly negative!) made it impossible for me to sleep or function normally. Now I've finally started to find some peace and I know it will take time, but I'm not going to lose it again!

When you first started to talk to me about the soul journey, the hairs on the back of my arms stood up and I knew immediately that I was in the right place. You'll be pleased to hear that I've stopped making long lists of things to do and that really is a miracle because I've being doing that since uni! I'm looking forward to the workshop too.

"The gentle and integrated approach of Soulistic Yoga has been of great benefit to me not only physically, but also psychologically and spiritually. As a teacher and as a therapist, Maria is both intuitive and caring and she has provided me with a truly healing space. As a practical tool for well-being I do not think Soulistic Yoga can be bettered." (David: Reading).
                                                                        
My experiences of Maria’s ‘One to One’ healing sessions are quite amazing. My first few sessions have already made a big impact on my life . This is one amazing space to enter with a most caring and sympathetic person. Personally, my menopausal health issues have greatly improved with Maria’s advice and healing. On a relationship level I am so much more able to understand and deal with situations that would otherwise have continued causing me stress. All I can say is since starting these sessions I have never looked back and I feel so lucky to have found this facility in Reading. (Liz: Reading)

I have been amazed at the breakthroughs that I have been able to make during only a few sessions with Maria. Her knowledge, guidance and support have been so helpful to me during a difficult time in my life.  I cannot believe how much better I feel. (Georgina: Bracknell)

Maria has been a supportive mentor over the last year. I've left a job that made me miserable and moved to a place I love, which I didn't have the confidence to do before because I was full of fear and lacked self-worth. Going deeper and understanding where the root of these issues lay, meant I could finally let go and move on. (Anna: Newbury)
