I’m Mariana, a singer-songwriter, artist, and creative wellness coach based between Oaxaca, Mexico and Asheville, NC. My recent bilingual album Mujer weaves heritage, poetry, and modern folk sounds, and I’ve been honored with an Artist Residency in the UK and an Austin Live Music Award Grant.

My own struggles with performance anxiety as a singer and entrepreneur led me to explore a holistic path—blending somatic wisdom, mindfulness, and creative alchemy. Through my coaching, I help people turn self-doubt into confidence and bring their visions to life.
