A little about your guide
Hello Friend, I’m Maria.
I’m an author, yoga and meditation teacher, and the creator of the Heal What Hurts Process. For more than thirty years, I’ve explored how movement, meditation, and loving presence can help us find a steadier connection with ourselves.
My teaching brings together somatic awareness, yoga, meditation, and prayer. Whether we meet through a guided practice, a small group, or private coaching, I invite you to listen to your own experience and meet yourself with greater kindness.
I’m also the author of Heal What Hurts, published by Llewellyn, and the founder of Powerfully Peaceful, bringing yoga and mindfulness into schools and communities.
You can learn to stay connected to yourself, even when something hurts.
With love, Maria

How to Heal Emotional Triggers
What if an emotional trigger could become an invitation to return to yourself? In Heal What Hurts, I share the process at the heart of my teaching: learning to recognize what is happening within you and meet it with loving presence.
Explore a more compassionate response to the moments that make you lash out, numb out, or check out. This is a practice you can bring into everyday life, supporting a steadier relationship with yourself and the people you love.

Experiences of working with Maria
In their own words.
Personal reflections on feeling heard, finding support, and exploring a new way forward.
RUN, don't walk to work with Maria Toso! The healing modality Maria works with is fast, efficient and long lasting. I had been in therapy for YEARS and not had the amazing shifts in my mental well being that I have experienced in just a few sessions with Maria. She's kind, relatable, and has an amazing gift to share with the world. If you're open to changing up the same stories you've been telling yourself for years, contact Maria immediately.
My first session with Maria was powerful. Powerful in that she is empathic and kind . I felt seen and heard by her in a way that I have only rarely experienced. Even though we were meeting on phone she could read my energy.
Amazing!
I am looking forward to study more with her. I sense that I will evolve if I follow her guidance.
Wonderful teacher!!!
These are individual experiences. Each person’s journey is their own.
A little practice. A loving return.
Begin where you are. Come as you are.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Make a little room to breathe, reconnect with your body, and listen to what is asking for your attention.
Start with a free guided practice, or get in touch if you’d like personal support. We can begin with a conversation about what you’re seeking and whether private coaching feels right for you.
Free practices require no sign-up. The introductory coaching call is a complimentary 30-minute phone conversation.
With love, Maria
