Maria’s ability to enter into the hearts and minds of those who hear her speak, or work with her in anyway, is profound. Like a lingering and much needed rain on a dry landscape, Maria quenches our longing to become refreshed. Through her authenticity, passion and care she touches us so deeply that we begin to recover the possibility that we are each capable of living an exceptionally rich and meaning filled life. To work with Maria is nothing less than an absolute gift. Kristin Humbargar
