Healing is Resistance, and you were made for both.
You've survived things that were never yours to carry. This is where you put them down and rise into the fullness of who you actually are.
Trauma informed coaching, energy healing, and radical community for survivors ready to reclaim their lives.
At Ascending Arts, I believe that choosing to heal is one the most radical act of resistance you can make.
In a world designed to keep you disempowered and disconnected from yourself, reclaiming your mind, body, and spirit is defiance.
Through trauma informed coaching, energy healing, mindfulness, and community, I help survivors turn their pain into power, and their power into purpose.
This is where healing gets radical.

You’ve survived. Now it’s time to thrive.
The Phoenix Rising is a 3-month, 1:1 trauma healing intensive built on the science of Post-Traumatic Growth, nervous system regulation, and energy healing. This isn’t talk therapy. This is a full-body, full-spirit transformation…one that will change not just your life, but how you show up in the world.
Because a healed person is a powerful person. And a powerful person changes everything around them.
Hi, I’m Maria.
I’m a certified meditation instructor, Reiki Master, and trauma-informed life coach with extensive academic training in trauma psychology — and I’ve walked through my own fire to get here
I built Ascending Arts because I believe healing is not a luxury, it’s a right. And for those of us who’ve survived what we’ve survived, it’s also an act of resistance.
I’m here to guide you through yours.
Don’t take my word for it.
Here’s what happens when survivors choose to Rise.
