Born in New Zealand, Maria settled at Lake Atitlán 5 years ago after a decade of traveling around the world working in high end hospitality. Redirecting from the traditional sectors of restaurants, wineries, and hotels to super yachts, chalets and private villa staff. During her travels she followed callings to explore permaculture, community living, herbalism, natural building and ceremony.
Finding deeper purpose in being in service in holistic wellness areas she now pulls from all aspects of past experiences to support people in their journeys of expansion, self inquiry and healing through assisting in Forest Path Ceremonies, offering Somatic Trauma Transformation bodywork and supporting and co creating experiences and retreats at Casa Floresta.
