TESTIMONIALS
Oksana Iofel
Dear Mariia, I am deeply grateful to you for the beautiful retreat in the Himalayas, which has undoubtedly left a lasting imprint on my heart. I still can’t quite understand how, in such a short period of time, we managed to visit so many unforgettable places, engage in so many profound practices, do yoga every day, and meditate for an hour daily — it was truly incredible.
I returned home, and despite everything happening around me, I feel an inner silence and unshakable steadiness. I truly want to anchor this state within myself and be able to return to it no matter what.
Katerina Vinicina
I gained more from my therapy work with Mariia than from many expensive courses and programs. The valuable insights I truly received and absorbed far exceeded the cost of this program.
She helped me recognize where my energy and financial resources were leaking and showed me how to work with these patterns in a simple and natural way. I began moving toward my authenticity, experiencing true feminine healing, and discovering my own nature.
I am deeply grateful to Mariia because I could genuinely feel the investment of her soul and energy in the work she does.
Natasha Gondina
I joined Mariia’s course on healing the relationship with my mother. The course is very comprehensive, with many practices and meditations — all of them deeply relevant and valuable to me, experienced at the right time and truly received and lived through the heart.
My attitude toward my mother has changed; it has become calmer and more tender. At times, I feel the desire to tell her how wonderful she is and how grateful I am for the life she gave me and for the love she offered in the way she knew how.
I have now found a sense of inner support within myself. Mariia, I am immensely grateful to you — for your work, your knowledge, for the soft and nurturing space you created for us, and for the peace that flows through you, bringing inspiration and faith.
Artur Podrebennikov
It was a magical adventure in the Himalayas. Mariia introduced us to the world of yoga, meditation, and of course, the mountains themselves. I especially remember the homemade meals we were served during the retreat — everything was organized with great love and care, and I could feel it throughout every day.
And what a miracle it was to attend the Dalai Lama’s teachings thanks to the letter and request Mariia wrote. It became an immense gift for our entire group — something we could never have imagined.
I am endlessly grateful for this wonderful retreat, for the ascent to the Triund mountain plateau, the powerful practices, and the heartfelt atmosphere. I sincerely recommend that everyone experience a retreat like this.
Irina
I want to express my immense gratitude for this wonderful retreat in the Himalayas! Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be so rich and fulfilling. There were so many fascinating practices — all of them completely new to me. I gained a tremendous amount of new experience, and I can already feel its impact.
I fondly remember all our walks in nature, through the forest, and of course in the Himalayas themselves. In each of these places, I was able to find a quiet corner to be alone with myself. Mariia, thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit such extraordinary places!
Now I continue to meditate every morning. Thank you for organizing the retreat and for all the practices you shared.
Nikita Chelnokov
Mariia, thank you for such an incredible introduction to the Himalayas through your retreat. It was an amazing experience, and throughout the journey I felt a beautiful atmosphere in our group — a sense of closeness combined with a touch of unpredictability.
Every day, I felt myself moving with the flow and expanding the boundaries of my consciousness thanks to the practices and lectures you shared with us. All the practices and processes were chosen so thoughtfully and offered at exactly the right time. And the Himalayas themselves are truly a place of profound power — a perfect combination for a deep reset.
Alena Rogova
I came to Mariia for therapy regarding my financial situation, honestly worried that I might not like it. But it turned out to be incredibly deep and powerful work. Maria shared insights that expanded my understanding of how I live and why certain things had been happening in my life.
What did the therapy give me? A strong sense of being in my rightful place. Tools for self-development in the most conscious and sustainable way possible. And a completely new understanding of abundance.
This is a wonderful format for those who are truly ready for change. The therapy helped me accept myself even more and taught me how to do so with awareness.
Thank you for all the tools of transformation and for the healing knowledge I received during our work together.
If you are ready to look deeply within yourself, go to Mariia. She is a true magician.
Ekaterina
Therapy with Mariia had a profound impact on my life in 2020. She helped me begin the healing process and deeply transform my relationship with my health and the way I perceive my body.
This work helped me believe that I can be healthy and live without pain. It supported me in embracing my feminine cyclical nature and gave me a clearer understanding of my inner states. Now I consciously use my hormonal phases to express myself in the world while preserving my energy and resources.
Our work together helped me release the stereotypes I had carried about my body and sexuality. It also became a revelation in learning how to accept and forgive myself.
I am deeply grateful to Mariia. She is a unique master who gently reaches the very core with her knowledge and insight, truly helping one recognize and awaken the power of their own body and nature. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her as my guide.
Elena Kovalenko
I discovered Mariia by chance during a period when I felt like I was falling apart and simply didn’t know what to do. I attended a retreat with her and later began therapy, even though I had been skeptical about anything online. And this is what I can say: I am incredibly grateful that this therapy came into my life. I no longer feel disconnected from life, no longer escape into an idealized world — I can integrate my experiences into my real life almost instantly.
I am moving into much greater depth across all areas of my life. The most painful topics — my relationship with my mother and personal boundaries — have stopped troubling me. The direction of my life has shifted toward the path that truly feels right for me: a path where I consciously create my life, where I am a woman who brings things into being, who knows her strengths and weaknesses, acknowledges them, and moves toward her true calling.
Elena Popova
Mariia, I want to express my deep gratitude for the “Mother–Daughter: Healing the Relationship” course.
My relationship with my mother had been so enmeshed, and I carried so much resentment within me. Every phone call made me tense. I couldn’t understand how to step out of that pattern or how to live from a place of love and gratitude instead of hurt. Thanks to this course, with each webinar my body began to relax, and my love and appreciation for my mother continued to grow.
The meditations in this course are incredibly powerful. During the relationship-healing meditations, so many tears and so much pain were released. By the end of the course, especially through the forgiveness meditation, I felt an immense sense of love, lightness, and gratitude within me.
Once again, my mother and I are walking this path of healing together — and it is the right and beautiful one. Thank you for the opportunity to understand, become aware, and open my heart to love and gratitude.
Aleksandra Kuzminskaya
A year and a half has passed since my therapy with Mariia — a meaningful amount of time to recognize the profound changes in my life. Thanks to our work together, it has become much easier for me to relax. This is a significant indicator for me, as I had never truly been able to relax before.
Personal boundaries were a difficult topic for me. It was during therapy that I first learned about this concept, and over the past year and a half, I have reached a strong level in establishing them. Now I know where my boundaries lie — where they begin and where they end — and this has greatly helped me refine my circle of communication.
I have learned to say “no” without feeling guilty. I have learned to sense and recognize what I truly want and what I do not.
Now I understand what intuition is, and I feel it more clearly than ever before.
I have also become much more honest with myself and with others, and this has brought great ease into my life. Thank you so much, Mariia.
Irina Sveshnikova
I joined Maria’s training on feminine archetypes, and I truly loved our meetings. The webinars dedicated to each archetype felt like fairy tales. Maria’s voice — her slow, fluid, and graceful way of speaking — was simply mesmerizing. Sometimes, when I have free time in the car, I play any webinar just to listen. My mood and inner state shift immediately; I become more flowing and soft, and this is truly one of Maria’s gifts — the ability to transmit a state so naturally.
I feel a great deal of trust and warmth toward Maria as a facilitator. By looking at her, I now understand how a woman can create herself with attention, acceptance, and self-love. She is a wonderful example.
I have become more collected, centered, and resourced. I have let go of many things in my life that I was doing more for others than for myself. It feels as though I have found my place in life and continue to move closer to my true self — not for the sake of a goal, but from a desire to live a full and beautiful life. I have allowed myself many things, given myself permission, and relaxed. I now relate much more easily to what is happening around me, increasingly accepting what is and how it is.
Tatiyna Kislytcyna
Working with Mariia was a true revelation for me. She helped uncover my essence — the facets of myself I either didn’t know existed or was afraid to acknowledge. At every session, I rediscovered myself, along with my strengths and weaknesses. I am deeply grateful to Maria for this work and for the immense energy and knowledge she invested, and for how thoroughly she shared it all.
Dear Mariia, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you. What you do is a true diamond — everything about it is deeply important and truly valuable.
Alexandra Milkomanovich
Mariia, I want to express my gratitude for your attitude toward people, for your work, and for the care and love you bring to each of our meetings.
All of your programs have turned out to be a true treasure. I never imagined that I could be so multifaceted. So many areas of my life have been re-examined and healed within your space. The information was completely new to me, yet everything within me resonated with it — it is exactly what I had been searching for. How wonderful it is that guides like you exist.
Elizabeth Green
I attended my very first retreat organized by Mariia on the island of Bali.
Mariia is an outstanding retreat organizer. Her positive spirit, no matter the circumstances, and her genuine care for each participant during the practices — all aimed at healing, awakening, and deep inner cleansing — were of the highest level. Everything was organized so thoughtfully, richly, and professionally that I can hardly imagine a better retreat.
I am deeply grateful to Masha and to everyone who was by my side during this challenging period of my life.
Alena Sytdykova
Elena Zakorgevskaya
Therapy with Mariia will be beneficial for anyone who wants to awaken and live more fully and consciously. Maria speaks in a structured way, placing clear emphasis on key themes and moments that remain with you as truly practical techniques and tools.
Mariia also guided me through several rebirthing sessions, which helped me make a significant breakthrough. I am deeply grateful to her for placing such strong emphasis on the importance of complete self-acceptance.
Elen Tihonova
Many thanks to Mariia for the wonderfully organized retreat in the Himalayas and for the program she created. I experienced an incredible number of positive emotions and meaningful moments. There were so many engaging and beneficial activities!
Special thanks for the delicious meals prepared with such love. Thank you for the shared experiences and for the beauty that surrounded us. And my deepest gratitude to Mariia for bringing everything together so harmoniously.
Alina
Mariia, I am immensely and boundlessly grateful to you for the changes you have brought into my life. I can truly say that our work together has felt like a breath of fresh air.
At the end of the training, as I listened to your voice, tears streamed down my cheeks because I realized how fascinating and multifaceted life is — that nothing happens by chance, and that every person we meet along the way is a teacher.
There is so much information today — so much glitter without substance, an emptiness behind it. The work you have done is immense. Everything is thoughtfully structured and presented in the right order.
Here is what has specifically changed in my life after our therapy: I am selling my home — something I had been unsuccessfully trying to do for a year. My long-held dreams of having my own house are beginning to come true. I am searching for land, exploring house designs, dreaming of a rose garden and my own workshop for handmade leather bags. I have also begun recovering from a serious leg injury, returned to training, and started believing in myself again. I had dreamed of singing for so many years, and now I have set my fears aside and am going to vocal lessons. I have also come to a deep acceptance of the fact that I have not had children for many years.
Gulnara Malikova
Before therapy, there came a moment in my life when I clearly recognized my need for acceptance, as I often struggled with the inability to surrender to the flow of life — stubbornly resisting it and insisting, “This shouldn’t be happening.”
Everything arrives in its own time, and therapy with Mariia was perfectly timed for me — exactly what the doctor ordered.
It wasn’t my first experience with therapy, but it was the first that truly exceeded my expectations: thoughtfully structured, deep, powerful, and filled with effective practices.
Mariia is someone you naturally want to emulate — she is so radiant, warm, natural, open, knowledgeable, intuitive, and beautiful. Her captivating voice carries words straight to the heart. She is attentive to every participant, highly organized and focused, as well as talented and creative.
I would also like to highlight Mariia’s gift for creating a harmonious space around her: the objects, the music, the scents — everything complemented one another beautifully and supported me on my journey back to myself.
I am endlessly grateful to Mariia for this precious experience and for the many practical recommendations that support a happy life.
Kseniya Sidorovich
Where can happiness be found — or is it already within you? How can we love without expectations? How do we attune ourselves to the rhythm of life without losing who we are? During the training, the answers to all these questions came naturally.
For the first time, my focus shifted from the external to the internal, from control to contemplation, from resistance to acceptance. For the first time, I felt a deep trust in the world and a long-forgotten sense of being in love. A true lightness of being… When I was preparing for the training, I expected a lot — but this new understanding could never have fit into the case of my old expectations. The walls of the fortress I had so carefully built around myself came down.
My sincere intention now is to preserve this experience amid the busyness of everyday life, to live in harmony with my inner voice, and not return to the person I once was — whom I have already released with gratitude.
Mariia is a true magician. She has a rare gift for healing wounded souls, serving as a spiritual mentor and guide. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.
Diana Shlyk
Therapy with Mariia came into my life during a period of deep crisis — like a magical box filled with gentle guidance and insights on how to move forward and grow in my own unique rhythm, how to slow down, and how to touch the very center of my inner silence.
For me, working with Mariia — her courses and programs — is incomparable in its depth and sensitivity. They help you open up and heal with such care. As you go deeper, a profound sense of self emerges, along with a more authentic connection to the world and to others. The harsh demands you place on yourself begin to fade, making space for love and acceptance.
Here, I found the answers on how to remain calm and grounded, how to feel my body and listen to its guidance amid the rapid flow of life. I feel powerful changes within me, and these transformations are still unfolding.
Galina Smagina
My three weeks in the mountains at the retreat, surrounded by such wonderful people, have come to an end. I have never before met so many like-minded individuals in one place who are so advanced on their life paths. There was an incredible amount of fascinating information, valuable guidance, and powerful ways to strengthen one’s inner world.
My deepest gratitude to Mariia. She managed to lay a strong foundation for my further immersion into yoga and meditation in a way that was both accessible and high in quality. Now, beyond the desire to practice — which had long been trying to emerge — I also have a clear understanding of why it matters and how to consciously integrate it into my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat.
Sofia Nikulina
Therapy became the first milestone on my new path of self-discovery — the initial impulse that helped me realize there is something deeper in life than simply actions and achievements. I believe this is a truly unique format of work. Through it, I understood that many of my qualities, once criticized or dismissed by society, are in fact deeply important — and not easily developed by everyone.
Therapy allows you to see yourself from every angle and recognize your own uniqueness. It helps you find harmony and balance in your life and within your complex feminine soul, guiding your attention fully inward rather than toward the external world.
I will definitely return to Mariia for therapy again because this became the true starting point at a crossroads in my life.
Irina
Mariia, thank you for the rebirthing and hypnotherapy session. Today my partner even said that I should attend such experiences more often because he truly loved the state I was in afterward.
As for me, I feel as though I have shed a tremendous amount of weight. There is an incredible sense of lightness, as if every cell in my body is breathing. It’s amazing to think that I arrived yesterday feeling so tense — my whole body ached, it was difficult to sit through the introductory part, and I couldn’t find a comfortable position.
By the end of the practice, I felt lightness throughout my entire body. The pain had completely disappeared, and I was overwhelmed with a sense of inner joy, grace, and love — I wanted to share it with everyone… and simply smile.
For the first time in the past four years, I finally feel alive. I am here. I am alive.
Aleksey Bronshtein
Thank you, Mariia, for your competence, kindness, positivity, and grounded approach. Thank you to the entire group — both together and to each participant individually — for your courage and openness. Group therapy gave me the opportunity to see myself from the outside, and even more so, through the eyes of others.
To notice and name the problems is only the first step. To truly become aware of them and accept them is the second. To search for and find the paths within yourself to resolve them is the third. And the most important — the fourth step — is the one you take when you release fears, prejudices, and doubts. It is the step toward your goals — your own goals, not those imposed by anyone else.
I can confidently say that the programs Mariia creates are aimed at a holistic process of transformation. It is truly invaluable to have the chance to learn from such a master.
Marina Ryabkina
Therapy with Mariia feels best described as a blend of “simple magic” — an unforgettable journey into the inner world of the soul and personality.
For many years, I couldn’t bring myself to embark on this frightening journey. Mariia helped me look into that world and take the leap with my eyes wide open. Most importantly, I learned to face my fears directly, to accept all their expressions within me — and even smile and laugh wholeheartedly along the way.
After therapy, I released my fear of life and now follow a path of acceptance, no matter what happens. In the space Mariia creates, you naturally want to trust, open up, and truly be yourself — rather than a million imagined versions of who you think you should be.
Mariia, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Eugenia Knyazeva
I went on a retreat to the Himalayas with Mariia, and the most important outcome for me was finally finding the answer and understanding I had long been searching for regarding my relationship with my daughter. The tension between us kept growing, even though she is only four and a half years old. I had turned to psychologists and a coach, and read many books, but it was during the retreat — through the practices — that I saw how deeply this was rooted within me, where it came from, and how it had developed throughout our relationship.
I experienced immense joy from the beauty of nature — our walks through the forest, the mountains, the waterfalls, and the villages — as well as from the daily practices, yoga, and the Lila sessions.
Another important shift was truly understanding why meditation matters. Before, I rarely managed to meditate in the way I did with you, and I couldn’t integrate it into my life.
Now I continue to meditate every morning. Thank you for organizing the retreat and for all the practices you shared.
