Maria Clara
​Speaking in one´s own voice.
​
Where Presence becomes Orientation,
and Leadership emerges from within.
Orientation from Within​
My life has unfolded through living and working across different countries required constant reorientation. Languages changed. Cultural codes shifted. Familiar reference points disappeared. Each transition required me to rebuild inner reference points while external structures changed.​What could not be outsourced was the capacity to remain internally anchored while navigating uncertainty in real time.
This is where self-leadership begins.
​
After significant personal and professional transitions - including the end of a long marriage and the reorganisation of my work - I learned to relate to the unknown not as something to control or resolve, but as a condition that requires presence, discernment, and inner orientation. Through this, a capacity developed to remain oriented without relying on fixed frameworks, predefined roles, or external guarantees.
​
​I work with individuals navigating:
– leadership and responsibility
– complexity, visibility, and decision-making
– transitional moments where familiar maps no longer apply
– situations where meaning has shifted and something essential remains unnamed
– development that require standing in one’s own voice, by accessing their own authority
​
What shapes my work is not theory, nor the repetition of inherited systems, but expertise grounded in lived experience
- developed through real transitions, ethical choices, standing in one’s own voice, and sustained attentiveness to what is essential.
​
I do not offer answers.
I do not impose direction.
I create spaces where clarity can emerge, and where presence becomes a reliable point of orientation.
​
This is not about becoming someone else.
It is about inhabiting what is already yours.
Standing in one’s own voice is not a personal aspiration it is a structural demand of certain moments and roles
Orientation before action
At moments of transition and decision.
​
Not instruction. Not prescription.
Orientation.
​​​
​
Authority does not come from having everything resolved, but from knowing where one stands.
Orientation is not certainty or reassurance, but position. When the position is clear, action follows with stability -without performance, without permission.
​​​
​
I work with presence and discernment.
​​​​​
This work supports self-leadership grounded in presence, ethical clarity, and lived expertise.
I have worked several times with Maria Clara – and I can say that she is a person with a high level of integrity and empathy. She has a loving and joyful, inspiring heart. Maria Clara is always trying to help in the best possible way, and offers space for personal healing. She is demanding at the same time, always tries to show me how I can learn to help myself. I would highly recommend working with Maria Clara.

​"Maria Clara has been my mentor for almost a decade, and her guidance has been one of the most transformative forces in my life. Through ceremonies, personal mentoring, and deep spiritual work, she has helped me navigate major life transitions with wisdom, grace, and clarity. Her presence is both grounding and luminous she holds space with profound compassion while inspiring true growth and courage. Each session with her feels like entering a sacred mirror where truth and expansion naturally unfold. Maria Clara embodies feminine wisdom at its finest: intuitive, professional, and deeply attuned. I would recommend her to anyone seeking not only direction in life, but also a deeper connection with themselves and Spirit".

Every now and then, the journey through life may place you in Dark Places. Places where you are left feeling lost, confused, afraid, out of control, unable to see The Light, for all the darkness around you... I was in that dark place not so long ago.
I had lost Me... I had become detached, began to listen to the negative talk,became ill. I walked in darkness. Then i was drawn to A Light!!
Maria Clara, you were that flickering flame that directed me home.
Words are not enough to express just how much your guidance helped me. You helped me regain my direction, my focus, my truth, Myself.
Thank you from the depths of my heart.

At the Threshold
There are moments when life asks for a jump in the Unknown.
​
Not because everything is clear,
but precisely because it is not.
​
Before such a step, there are no guarantees.
What exists instead is a tension between what no longer works
and what has not yet taken shape.
​
This is the territory of the threshold
standing at the edge between what is familiar
and what cannot yet be named.
​
What makes the passage difficult is not fear itself,
but the weight of what we continue to carry.
When the old is brought forward without being integrated,
movement becomes heavy and exhausting.
Frustration, tiredness, and disconnection appear
not because something is wrong,
but because life is asking for a reorganisation.
Jumping does not mean erasing what has been lived.
It means transforming experience into orientation.
​
Learning to move without guarantees requires letting go of borrowed roles,
recognising that roles describe what we do - not who we are -
and deciding without external validation.
​
This experience shapes the way I work.
​
People come to me when they find themselves at this edge:
-
when the old no longer serves,
-
when the new is not yet clear,
-
and when continuing as before carries a higher cost than stepping forward.
What I offer is not certainty.
It is a space to recognise what must be released,
what can be integrated,
and how to move through the unknown
without betraying oneself.
​
There are moments in life and in leadership when no external reference points can be relied upon. In those moments, speaking and deciding from one’s own voice is not a personal desire, but a structural responsibility.
