Miguel & Iyvonne, in their own voices.
A short conversation about what shifted, in their own time and on their own terms.
Work with me
Three doorways.
Find the one calling.
Coaching, art therapy, sound healing. Three modalities I have trusted in my own life and in the rooms I have held for others. Each one stands alone. Many people find the deepest shift comes when more than one is woven together.
Read each pathway gently. The right one usually makes itself known.

How I work
Coaching is the spine.
Art is always in the toolbox.
Coaching, art therapy, and sound. I rarely use only one. The session you book may be named after one of the three, but in the room they weave. Coaching is constant. Art and sound layer in where they serve. A piece of paper and colour when words cannot yet reach what is asking to be said. A small sound bath when the body needs to land before we go any further.
Underneath all of it sit seventeen years with the mystical teachings of Kabbalah. Not a religion. An ancient wisdom about receiving, about sharing from a full cup, and about catching the ego before it tricks you out of your own light. It gives me a working map of how the laws of creation move and how patterns form. So our work is never guessing. We stop fighting the current of your life. We learn to work with it.
I name what I see calmly, with care, and directly. Compassion is the room. Truth is the furniture.
Why art, always
Words have a ceiling.
Colour does not.
I am trained in Solution-Oriented Painting (LOM), a trauma modality as effective as EMDR. Painting bypasses logic and reaches the parts of the brain and body that hold what words cannot. The body keeps the score. Art is how it tells the story.
You do not have to be an artist. You do not have to make anything beautiful. The process reveals what is ready. That is the part that changes you.
Who I keep meeting
Three lives I work with often.
Maybe one is yours.

The flagship containerSignature Programme
The Becoming.
Twelve weeks. Three modalities. One you.
Not a stack of sessions. A held thread.
Investment from
EUR 1,800
Three ways to pay. See below.
A twelve-week one-to-one container for the moment you know you are ready to step into a new self. Not a step-by-step program. You bring the outcome you are reaching toward, and I walk with you, intuitively, using whatever each turn asks for.
The outcome you arrive with is the doorway, not the destination.
As we work, layers begin to fall away. Patterns you carried because they were given to you. Dreams you are finally letting go because you realise they were never quite yours. Or dreams you have carried quietly for years that you are now ready to walk toward.
What you thought you wanted often shifts. What reveals itself underneath is closer to what your life has been pointing at all along. Often simpler. Often the relief you did not know you were waiting for.
Real change does not arrive from will alone. It needs alignment.
Thoughts, words, daily actions, the ordinary hours of an ordinary Tuesday. All moving in the same direction as the vision you carry.
This is not usually work you can do alone. The mind is too close to itself to see its own loops. You need someone to witness them, name them gently, and walk beside you while you make the leap, whether the leap is loud or so quiet only you and one other person will ever know it happened.
My only job is to help you become who you already are.
- 01
Held across all twelve weeks.
In single sessions, the work resets each time you book. In the container, I hold the thread of what is moving in you between meetings, track the patterns as they shift, and bring the right next piece into our following session. You are never starting from zero.
- 02
Voice notes when something moves.
Between sessions you can send a voice note. I respond personally. Not 24/7, not endless. But you are never left alone with a breakthrough, a worry, or a wobble in the middle of your week.
- 03
Coaching and art every session. Sound when the body asks.
Every session weaves a coaching frame with a hands-on creative piece. Sound layers in when the body needs to land first. You are not booking one modality. You are getting all of me, in the order each week needs.
- 04
A real beginning, middle, and end.
We name the outcome you are walking toward on day one. We close with a session that recognises what has actually changed and helps it settle into you. Without that arc, transformation can fade. With it, the new you stays.
What people arrive with. What shifts.
The work people walk in carrying. What they walk out into.
Arriving with
After
Stuck. Overthinking everything. Creating from anxiety instead of instinct.
Clear. Quieter inside. Creating from instinct again, with momentum.
An inner critic running the show. Fear of being seen, or even of succeeding.
The critic still speaks. You stop obeying it. Visibility stops costing you.
A vision that feels far away from your actual Tuesday.
Your daily life starts moving in the same direction as the vision.
Tired, foggy, depleted. The energy you need is somewhere you cannot reach.
Energy returns. The body feels held. Stamina for the work comes back.
Old grief, fear, or anger lodged in the body. Patterns that keep repeating.
The pattern is named. The charge moves through. The loop quiets.
A quiet suspicion that the dream you carry is not entirely yours.
Honest clarity about what is yours, and the relief of a true pivot if it is needed.
Not promises. Patterns I see in the people who choose this work and stay with it.
Investment

Pathway · Art therapy
Where words
do not reach.
Art therapy is about release. The emotions that have been waiting too long. The looping grief, the silent fear, the unspoken anger. When they stay stuck, they begin to attack the body. Organs, sleep, mood. From there they shape what you create, and what life keeps bringing back to you.
The work is letting it go before it metastasises. I take the pain seriously. I do not bypass it or call it imagined. I sit with what is real, then I show you the way out of the loop. A spiritual lens and a therapist's training, together. Both, not one without the other.

Pathway · Sound healing
For the body that
listens first.
Sound is frequency. It moves stuck energy in the body, and whatever you are ready to release begins to release. Cells re-attune to harmony. The body remembers how to heal itself. Sound is only there to help it return to the state where it can do what it already knows how to do.
Sound is woven through The Becoming, and it also stands alone. One-to-one sound journeys or small group sound baths. Most powerful in person, in my studio in Jávea, Spain. Also available online when distance asks for it.

About me
Trained deeply,
held in supervision.
I am a Transformational Art Coach, art therapist, sound healer, and artist. I started my coaching practice Art of You in 2017 and have spent the last eight years working with artists, musicians, and quiet creatives moving through patterns that once held them back.
My understanding of the subconscious began in 2009 through the mystical teachings of Kabbalah. My clinical training came after, in art therapy and ICF-accredited coaching. I work under supervision in both, and I supervise other coaches too.
I sit in Jávea, Spain, and work in person and online with clients around the world.

Tara, what the work moved.
A quiet reflection on what the work made possible. Press play when you have a quiet moment.
Eight months ago I had no clue about my potential. Today I know it. Thank you Maria and Art of You.
In only four sessions I was able to move forward from a financial issue that has plagued me for years, literally.
After only three sessions I was able to become pregnant, after years of trying.
After one session I was able to overcome insomnia that had plagued me for years. From not knowing myself, I now know what I want to create and I am going for it.
Working with Maria has been an experience of real growth. I am now close to finishing my first body of work. She helped me develop my confidence as an artist and create structures for approaching selling my work.
I wasn't feeling connected to my creativity anymore. I was stuck. After three sessions something clicked. I've created two tracks in two weeks. I feel full of energy. Like a new person.
Maria is such an empathic coach. I felt completely free to explore what I was working through and not once did I feel judged. Her insights were often lightbulb moments for me as a coachee.
