Hola! My name is Maria-Elena. My work and passion is assisting people to find their potential. I create a safe space for people to navigate this process and provide counselling services, facilitate life's transition ceremonies. I am also an authorised marriage celebrant under the Marriage Act 61.     

 

My story as a ceremony facilitator started a long time ago. The first healing session I facilitated was when I was 15 years old. A local Curandera in the town where I lived saw my potential as a healer and ceremony facilitator. Her name was Monica and she supported me to explore my talents and taught me how to perform her ceremonies. From this early age, I knew in my heart I wanted to assist people in their healing journeys.

​

Throughout my life, I have explored many different modalities and religions to enhance my knowledge and practice. I continue to offer safe spaces for people to navigate their own healing. I have over 20 years of experience in Counselling and have also worked in Community Development and Adult Education.

​

I am a mother of four children, grandmother of five grandchildren and a pet mum of two very cheeky Beagle sister dogs, Alma and Mia.
