WHAT MAMA’S ARE SAYING
“I was I was actually thinking of threatening to take away something fun he was going to do with his older sister that evening if he did not stop crying and I even put my hand on the freezer for a moment thinking I could give him a popsicle to try and stop the crying. I began to instead just allow his feelings and my own and I repeated back to him that he was bored and wished he had someone to play with. In my own mind I told myself, it was ok that I wanted it to be quiet and it was ok that he was upset. After just a few minutes of validating and empathizing with him he slowly stopped crying on his own and he actually began to play cars with his imaginary friend, "Bert" and I finished all the cooking in peace!”

“I loved my time with Mária she really helped me push through some things that were holding me back and I see real growth in myself and my parenting. I think it's a journey of growing into myself as a person and as a mother and she's really helped on that journey. The future looks bright now the concepts in the 12 weeks related to my life now and I can see how they will help me all the way through my parenting as my children become teenagers.”

“My favorite part of doing the work is how we could dialogue around real-life applications of each unit. We could really dig into a scenario together, investigate all of the opportunities around how I showed up for myself and my children in those difficult real-life moments. Parenting reliably holds up a mirror to what we have yet to resolve within ourselves, and Mária truly came to these conversations without judgment.”

“Joining the Parenting Together circle was a highlight to my life each week. As a mother of two young children, it was a safe harbor in which to find support & feel connected to a community. ”

“It's a great resource for parents to learn about pre-schooler’s behavior and emotions. My questions about my children’s behavior were addressed in the meetings. It helped me tremendously keeping me well informed of age appropriate development and reducing my anxiety of childcare when talking and discussing with the Maria and other moms."

“After our family contracted COVID, our daughter felt dark energies in her room at night. (Hallucinations are a feature of pediatric Covid). She was scared that they would take her away and could not sleep. After using the flower essence that Maria formulated for one night, the energies disappeared and she slept soundly, free from the torment that can come with a virus. Thank you Maria! We are so grateful.”
