Divine Feminine Alchemy

You did not come this far
to stay small.

Sacred Journey practices for women ready to come home to themselves — through the mother wound, midlife, and the heroine's journey.

Descend

The book opens the door.
The work takes you home.

I am not offering self-improvement. I am offering what the underworld offered me: descent, integration, and sovereignty. You do not need to be fixed. You need to be met at the depth where the real wound lives.

The Memoir

Sacred Journey

A Memoir of Loss, Love and Coming Home to Yourself

The story of a woman who lost everything she was told to hold onto — and found, in the dark, the one thing no one can take. This is not a book you simply read. It is a book that reads you back.

Meet Maria

I have travelled the sacred journey
I write about.

I'm a holistic counsellor and author trained in shamanic, transpersonal, womb and ancestral healing — and I came to this work the only way that lasts: by living it. Grief, the mother wound, the long road back. From the red earth of Uluru to the caves of Mary Magdalene, I followed the thread down, and home.

In their words

What the work makes possible

★★★★★

"Maria met me in a grief I had carried for thirty years and never spoken aloud. I didn't feel fixed. I felt found. I am a different woman on the other side of this."

— Sarah, New South Wales
★★★★★

"I have done a lot of therapy. Nothing reached the place Maria reached. She is fierce and tender at once, and she does not look away from the dark with you."

— Eleni, London
★★★★★

"The mother wound work undid something ancient in me. I finally understood my own mother — and stopped abandoning myself to keep the peace."

— Janelle, California

The descent & the rising

"You do not need to be fixed. You need to be met at the depth where the real wound lives."

— Maria Therase
