Unlock Creative Confidence with Somatic Support for Artists & Visionary Leaders

( artists: all disciplines)

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a bilingual singer-songwriter and performance artist, and also a somatic and nervous system regulation coach for artists, entrepreneurs, and conscious leaders. I work at the intersection of creativity, embodiment, and emotional resilience — helping people move through blocks, anxiety, and burnout so they can reconnect with their creative voice and share their gifts with the world.

Whether you’re an artist facing resistance, a visionary leader navigating burnout, or a creator who’s ready to step into your next expression — my work is about supporting you from the inside out. Through gentle body-based practices, creative inquiry, and soulful strategy, I help you return to clarity, flow, and authentic expression.

In addition to somatic tools, I incorporate motivational interviewing and habit formation strategies to support lasting change — so you not only feel inspired, but know how to follow through.

I'm based in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, and I work with clients virtually across the country and around the world.

  • “Mariana helped me learn, without judgement or comparison, that I need support as a creator and how to take steps to get it. She helped me break decades of crippling perfectionism and doubt with simple, clear action. Without her, I’d still be struggling to get my first word down on paper instead of getting my first book published.”
