Maria is an absolute rock star in the work she does with EFT and healing trauma. We’ve had the privilege of having Maria at our annual "Time to Heal" retreats for women who survived child sexual abuse. She has worked both one-on-one with our clients and in groups, becoming a significant part of their healing journey. The feedback from our clients was a testament to the power of her work. I would highly recommend her for any activity, group, or individual seeking further healing. She would be an incredible asset to anyone.

I am very grateful for all the time Maria spent with me. The hours I spent in her office helped me understand and clear old mental blocks, but the weeks between our sessions she continued to communicate and guide me through my growth and transformation journey. I felt safe and comfortable with Maria. I was able to relax and open up to parts of myself I had hidden away throughout the years. She was truly incredible at creating a calm environment physically, mentally and emotionally. She helped me understand that I am able to take control of my emotions and experiences, through meditation, breath work, EFT tapping and most importantly - acknowledging and understanding my inner child. She inspired me to continue this work after our sessions ended and I have been able to continue developing and healing on my own. I have highly recommended Maria to my friends and family. If you are feeling called to meet her, but unsure if it is for you, I encourage you to give her a chance. The name “Calm Connections Healing” is the perfect description of how you will feel with her. You will find yourself feeling at ease, you will feel you are heard and cared for, and you will feel able to mend old wounds currently holding you back. Thank you so much Maria, for everything.

I was feeling a bit stressed with the chaos of the World and starting a new Business so I booked a session with her not really knowing what to expect. It was truly amazing, even on video she truly connects with you not just on a head level but on a heart level. This then makes her very effective at what she does as she truly listens and ‘hears’ what you have to say. Layer in the EFT techniques that she guided me through and I felt an inner calm and control. She also gave me tools to be able to use on my own for when I may be challenged. I can not recommend Maria highly enough she will connect with you on multiple levels and she will help and support you as she has done for me over the years.

Seeking emotional support and guidance can be scary, but when you find the right person to guide you through it, it can be freeing and almost magical. Maria truly has a gift when it comes to making you feel comfortable and safe; her technique and warm demeanour make you feel at home almost immediately. After just one session I was able to peel back the layers and uncover deep personal blocks I had that were holding me back and hindering my healing process, blocks I had no idea were there. A true empath Maria feels deeply and understands on a level I've not yet experienced with other professionals. It's clear she has found her gift in EFT. I highly recommend Maria and I can't wait to continue my work with her.

I would highly recommend Maria. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and tried a number of different treatments to help me deal with the diagnosis on an emotional level. The EFT session with Maria was by far my favourite. I felt a major release. It’s hard to describe -Content, at peace maybe. All I know is that I came out feeling a whole lot better than I was prior. If you are feeling anxious, sad, worried, overwhelmed Maria’s sessions can help. It did for me
Tanya Lister, BC Canada
Maria has such an amazing gift I can't thank her enough for helping me move forward and heal mentally and emotionally. I am still a 'work in progress' but I was a wreck. In only ONE session Maria you made it easy for me & very safe for me to be vulnerable but yet help me find my way back. Thank you for helping me on my journey. I can only imagine how many more people you can help you have a true gift.

Teen & Tween Success Stories...
Our Daughter was 18 when I met Maria, when she told me about her program with EFT, I was intrigued as with covid dragging on my daughter's Mental Health was up and down despite medications, supplements and family support. B decided she wanted to proceed. After a session she talked a bit about them and seemed optimistic and enthusiastic about going back. She always said how kind Maria was. After her sessions, I would say that B is night and day. Her ups and downs are minimal in comparison to what they used to be. Her perspective on life and her feelings is much more empowered. If she has a down day, she has tools to move beyond and to have a better day tomorrow.
I wish I could tell you more about what Maria does...but I can't. I can only say that B is changed. The tools Maria gave her have empowered her, and made her a stronger version of herself.
It seems the dated mental health system keeps you coming back again and again for help where this work can give you tools that can set you free. A good practitioner can and will work themselves out of a job! That's how you know you can trust her.
Kris, Mother of Teen Client BC, Canada
After two horse riding accidents, my 15 year old daughter lost her confidence and ability to practice her love of showjumping
Each time she would be ready to ride, anxiety took over and she knew before she even started to ride she would not be in control of the horse. This led to repeated non-starts and unsuccessful lessons. After spending just a few sessions with Maria she slowly but surely began making progress. Practicing the tools she learned through her sessions with Maria made a significant impact on her confidence and ability to manage her anxiety. She is now back riding and loving life. Thanks, Maria!

I went into Maria's sessions not knowing what I was going to get out of it. I wasn't even sure if this type of help would "work" for me, but once I got into it and we were applying it to personal things in my life, the preconceptions began to fade away.
In our sessions EFT took away some power my fears had over me and affirmed me to get moving in the direction I wanted to go, all while bringing me to a calm and relaxed place with a physical reminder that I am safe. This really helped me to become more aware of how my general anxieties were showing in my physical body. Mental help and just focusing on what you want in life can be one of the most exhausting things as a Teen, but when I had someone who knew what they were doing and was super supportive and personal the whole time, I was able to keep bringing my mind back to what was important to me once a week, where normally, I would not always have the motivation to keep pushing for that by myself. I've also been left with some simple tools. I'm now on a better path with more strategies than ever before to keep helping myself learn how to become more confident and stable in every situation Life puts me through.
Brielle, Aged 18 BC, Canada
I feel like Maria just understands me and because she shows no judgement I can be really honest and it helps me to trust the techniques she has taught me. I have been making better choices and decided to stop vaping and hanging out with people who don’t really care for me. I am feeling more excitement about leaving school and my options instead of feeling scared too.
K , Aged 17 BC, Canada
The sessions with Maria really help me. I had so many friends going through really hard things and I didn’t know how to handle it all but Maria didn’t judge and helped me to get this overwhelm and panic feeling out of my body and then I could think clearly again. I learnt some tools to protect my energy and that I don’t have to take on everyone else’s troubles but I can still care. I wish all my friends would come and learn this stuff.
AS, Aged 17 BC, Canada
Teen Tune is the only place I have been where I didn’t leave feeling exposed. I have seen a lot of mental health people and councilors but it always felt like they didn’t really get me. It was different with Maria and Yvette I felt seen, heard and really calm.
E, Aged 15 BC, Canada
J is so excited to come back for another session, he did not stop talking all the way home about what he learned and has been teaching his siblings how to calm their bodies down!! It feels like a different house tonight as I feel more hopeful and J seems like he is literally standing a foot taller. He is more content and didn’t make a fuss at dinner like he usually does.
Amy, Tween Mom BC, Canada
Maria has an amazingly high level of frequency about her. I was able to feel a beautiful connection. She consistently held space and energy for me throughout each session. Maria asked the right questions to dive deeper when I needed to , and celebrate breakthroughs afterwards. She will be a life EFT connection, of whom I have great respect and admiration especially our joint passion advocating for Children's mental health. Thank you Maria.
Lynette, Saskatchewan, Canada
Maria is an amazing practitioner. Her calm, gentle yet confident approach helped me feel very safe as she guided me through some heavy feelings. We were tapping on a gentle topic which brought up a heavy memory and Maria instantly picked up on my energy change and knew exactly how to move me through it so I could release it and move to a better feeling state and reach that deeper level of healing".
Mary, Wisconsin, USA
I didn't really know what to expect but I went into it with an open mind and an open heart. Maria was simply amazing! We had a conversation and within the conversation she found the hurdles and old beliefs that were keeping me stuck. She took me through with some EFT and continued to ask me how I felt on a scale of 1 to 10 after each conversation round. By the end my scepticism had vanished. I felt so calm, lighter and had a completely different perspective on things. I came away with a beautiful belief that our bodies have the ability to heal past traumas when we find the right people to help us work through them. Thank you Maria. You're one very special lady

Maria is a highly experienced EFT practitioner, who provides a safe, judgement free space. Often therapies can be intimidating and uncomfortable. Maria’s professional, sensitive nature provides the perfect environment to release and heal. We all desire and deserve the opportunity to feel safe and heard. Cultivating the perfect setting through open dialogue and techniques is a special gift that Maria excels at. I loved working with Maria and would highly recommend her services.

I’ve worked with several EFT practitioners and Maria is a natural at it! Very intuitive in her approach which brings effective, fast results. I highly recommend working with her!
