About me

Hello, I’m Maria!

I’m a writer & writing coach. I’m also NeuroQueer and this important aspect will show in my approach with my clients. 

Writing has been my passion ever since I learned how to read&write. I’ve always had stories in my head and carefully learned how to transmute them onto page.

I’ve started writing seriously as a teen, but, discouraged by my family and by the limitative beliefs of the society, was forced to only view it as a hobby. So, for a while, I pursued a medical career, even though I knew deep down what I really wanted to do. 

But my creativity was blocked and, while I still continued writing, I couldn’t fully commit. Until the end of 2024, when I realized enough was enough and that, in order to live my life authentically, I had to stop with all the lies I told myself. I had to put writing first. So I started on the path of unblocking my creativity and embracing my writer life fully. 

So that leads me to why we’re here. 

Earlier in 2025, I had the opportunity to enroll in a kid lit workshop. And, while some of the ladies there were my age, in their 30s the most, most of them were in their 50-60s, even 70s. And let me tell you how it broke my heart listening to their stories. About lives lived fully with the desire to write in their hearts, but never knowing how to start, how to unblock their creativity, how to go past the voices telling them it’s silly, it’s not worth it. Telling them to do something better with their lives, when their truth, their life’s purpose was telling stories.

And I’ve decided that if I can help, I’ll do it. Just as I did with myself, I’ll help others unblock. I’ll help others start on, or even continue on this amazing path that is writing. 

So that’s how I came to be a writing coach. From the desire of helping others like me live the life they deserve and not long for it their whole lives. 

From the desire of building a community of writers. Of unblocked creatives.
