"Maria made me feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment I contacted her. She is an absolute pro in her field and a genuinely kind person. I would recommend her to anyone exploring sandplay, therapy or if you just need someone outside of your immediate circle of friends and family to talk to about life in general! My experience was casual and meaningful."

"A safe temple to discover yourself ✨ Maria is a skilled professional, tender, graceful, and nurturing. Every session feels meaningful. She has been an incredible support system on my healing, transformation and growing journey 🦋 Always there to remind me to breathe, to speak kindly to myself, and to remember that I’m awesome and sky is the limit! She speaks Swedish, English, and Greek, which has been such a gift for me personally, being able to switch languages depending on how I need to express my feelz makes me feel truly seen and understood. I’m super grateful! 🤍"
