I am Maria.
I did not come here to teach theories.
I came because one day I decided to stop running from myself.
I am 65 years old. And it was precisely at 63 that I began to truly live. It was not easy. It was beautiful.
I learned that transformation does not shout. It whispers. And you have to become very still to hear it.
I am a Master NLP Practitioner, life coach, and mindfulness practitioner. But the most important thing I have is not in any diploma — it is in every fall I turned into wisdom, in every silence I learned to inhabit.
I wrote Shields of Freedom — not from theory, but from the scar. From the place where it hurts and where it heals at the same time.
Here you will not find perfection.
You will find truth.
And sometimes, that is all the soul needs.
„The architecture of change begins with a single thought: the thought of loving yourself.”
If something I write has touched something in you — you are in the right place. 🌿
Gratitude in action
When I published Shields of Freedom, I felt the need to close the circle of gratitude — to thank the one who opened the path for me.
I wrote to Don Miguel Ruiz’s team. This was their response:
„Thank you for taking the time to write to us and share how much you loved The Four Agreements and how it changed your life. We are so glad to read that, at 63, The Four Agreements restored your vitality.
It has been a pleasure to see how this dream has benefited so many people. I am very grateful for people like you who faithfully support this dream and have helped make it a reality.”

Gratitude is not just a chapter in my book.
It is the way I live. 🌿
