Thank you everyone for saying such kind words about my coaching and crystal mapping!
I loved reading Closer to Indigo. Maria has a real gift with words. The story was engaging, eloquent, highly evocative and compelling. Maria’s way of looking at the world and deriving a powerful life lesson in every circumstance is heart warming and uplifting. I was sad to reach the last page ~ Georgina Halabi, Certified Performance & Wellbeing Coach

Maria, thank you so much for the book presentation! Your story is captivating, and the fact that you are documenting your life’s stories in the form of a book, TV series, and audiobook is truly inspiring! Keep up the great work, you’ve done an amazing job! ~ Hanna

I can vouch for Maria Koropecky! She’s as sensitive as they come, and that’s what you want in a listener; and a witness. Something she said with quiet, but firm emphasis to me amin an exchange we had was…’Allow yourself the win Silvie’ It still rings in my inner ear: Allow yourself the win, FTW! Book her now! ~ Silvie Le Muzic, Systems Coach

I experienced an amazingly insightful and helpful session with Maria where she skilfully guided me on a journey through my chakras with the support of the Tarot cards. I felt uplifted, inspired and energised by her work gaining much wisdom, messages and prompts to move forward. I enjoyed the session so much and would highly recommend Maria’s work to anyone wanting help to gain clarity on their life path. ~ Claire Bjerkan, Coach, Healer, Creative

‘I was curious and excited about what to expect at the start of my Crystal Mapping Coaching session. Maria used her gentle, intuitive, enthusiastic and fun coaching style to enable me to focus on and explore a current question in my life. She was very easy to talk to, I felt listened to and that she was invested in and enthusiastic about my journey. She allowed me to explore my thinking through well placed questions and she also offered her intuitive insights to build on the possibilities that I uncovered during my time with her.
I felt like I was reflecting on my story, what had led me to this point and how that could shape and help unfold the next chapter for me. The crystal map was an amazing, unique and insightful process. Maria’s invitation to pose a question and choose crystals that may help me answer it opened up a world of reflection and insights that were directly relevant and very powerfully connected to the question I had asked for guidance and insights on. Maria’s love of and knowledge about the crystals I had chosen was so eloquent.
I came away from our session feeling high energy, a huge sense of possibility and also reinforcement that I was on the right path to follow my calling. Thank you Maria.’ ~ Wellness Coach

Maria is fabulous to work with! Highly recommended ~ Joh Morris Benichou

After over forty years of teaching and leading schools, I was cooked in every way. I was resigned to never finding time to do what I really wanted. To write, to paint, and to make a real difference in the world.
“When I retired in July of 2020 and moved to Colorado, I put play at the top of my to-do list. Then in late 2021, creative consultant and facilitator Joh Benichou contacted me to share an idea that she had brewing with visionary writer Maria Koropecky.
“They were creating a writing group with a focus on crystals and chakras, I couldn’t believe my luck.
“In eight sessions over ten weeks, professionals, institutional organizers, corporate leaders, writers, and creatives, immersed themselves in daily journaling, short story writing, poetry and messy play.
Maria gently led us through rainbow and crystal cave meditations, chakra readings, and long conversations on how we were doing mentally and emotionally. After each session, which went very quickly, we had simple and fun homework exercises to be carried out ready for the following week.
“Despite our initial temptation to ask Maria detailed questions about the writing process, we soon realized that writing was secondary to the mental and emotional reset we were all going through.
The power of play on our brains and our emotional state was palpable. From being tense and nervous about the writing process, I soon enjoyed the flow of writing and created many illegible and badly spelled pieces that literally fell out of me onto the paper. I even recorded them as voice messages on my walks and then auto transcribed them to save time. I then got to decide which ones I would edit formally, and which ones were just part of the process. It turned from fraught to fun in a very short time.
“By the end of the program, and with the support and encouragement of the group, I had entered two short stories in national writing competitions had created a new form of Vision Board, and had an outline plan for a range of children’s stories based on my mother’s paintings, she had died from Covid in 2020.
“On reflection, this was not a writing group, it was the emotional reset that I so badly needed. Now, thanks to Maria and Joh, I have access to the emotional and creative tools that I didn’t know I needed to fulfill on all my dreams, which include working on redesigning education with the US Government ~ Kate Broughton

Hi Maria! How are you? I just wanted to get in touch because you really helped to change my perspective about writing and publishing. And I’m pleased to say I’ve finally published my first book! It’s just a small booklet of a collection of poems, but I’ve managed to do it and it’s available on Amazon. So I wanted to say thank you, as I wouldn’t have dreamed of publishing until I was retired – but you gave me the permission to do it now. The book is called The Essence of Spirit. Thanks again for your support! Best, Claire

It was such a great pleasure having Maria as my coach. It was so good to be able to talk and then have the main points fed back, followed by a deep question to ponder on. The sessions were significant in providing a good many ideas for writing posts, articles and programs. I didn’t feel confident in writing the fore mentioned but once the ideas were explored , it became so much easier. The sessions were recorded on this occasion as there was much to work on . I have the added bonus on reconnecting and developing the ideas. I have no qualms recommending Maria . She has a relaxed and open manner. She is perceptive and able to draw out crucial thoughts that can be acted upon ~ Krystyna Trybula

Maria has such a wonderful way of creating and painting pictures with words, and that talent helped connect us through seeing each other’s posts! While going through a crystal mapping session with Maria, she displayed all the skills and qualities of a great coach! She eased my apprehension about not knowing what the crystal mapping was about by simply engaging me in conversation… that flowed very easily with her! Once Maria had me choose the crystals after our conversation, her knowledge of the crystals was amazing! I also loved the energy that flowed and was created from such a powerful conversation, which the crystals confirmed! I received so much clarity and realized how much alignment was in my actions and thoughts. I would definitely refer anyone to work with Maria with a crystal mapping session and engaging with her in the creative writing process! ~ Lee Grigsby

There are a few people who you meet along your life journey that transform you and make you shine your light. Maria is one special person who came into mine. I started with her on a crystal journey and then began my lovely interaction with her to write. From the very beginning she brought about subtle changes in my approach to writing. Maria has that blend of the quality of a crystal combined with the kindness and generosity to share her views. I am glad that I have the opportunity to meet her and be in that creative space. Keep going Maria. Kudos ~ Srividya Sethuraman

I had the honor to be coached and experience a crystal reading through the talented hands of Maria. I reached out to Maria because I had some questions regarding the direction of my coaching business… the question was, what do I really want to create and materialize in the world through my coaching. Maria is a highly skilled coach, also you can feel how she flows and adapts to your personality by listening very carefully to what you have to say. She will give you space to let the information you want explored to sink. At the first part of the session I gained clarity on where I would like to go and move, the second part of the session is reinforced by the use of crystals, all very easy and intuitive. It’s amazing how the crystals I chose, had the message that reinforced what and where I should go. Maria will support you by answering every question and explain the meaning of each crystal and how they are related to the topic you chose to work. At the end I had more clarity, and felt inspired to act. It is indeed an experience I strongly recommend! ~ Marco Silva

Maria is an amazingly exquisite empath and spiritually intuned therapist. In our session, she gave me the support I needed to see myself in a loving light. She shared her wisdom with an open heart generously. I felt safe and loved. Her insights and guidance were a breath of fresh to me. I am grateful to Maria for holding a loving space for me in our session. It was a beautiful and empowering experience. An experience I highly recommend. ~ Jael Ortega, Empaths Breakthrough Coach & Energy Healer

Yesterday I had a crystal mapping session with Maria. In these harsh pandemic times I find it so enlightening to be gifted with such a moment bordering fairyland. The stones have their lives and properties. Mostly all born from immense pressures and temperatures, in the heart of volcanoes, each of them is a small miracle of Earth given to us and I treasure this idea. Maria’s knowledge of crystals and coaching abilities enables you to get truly in touch with your vision of what you want to achieve for yourself. The stones bring a star sprinkle of awareness on who we are as we are attracted to one or the other. My 3 stones resonated with me incredibly, with my number one pick my strongest, funny how it works, but all 3 translating a deep part of me and bringing it through Maria to my awareness! Quite an incredible journey as being aware is being reassured of one’s abilities hence becoming stronger and fearless.. yes this is in me, I’ve got this, I can do it! This is a huge asset on top of the many gifts Maria shares through her coaching program and I would highly recommend all the creative writers, introverts, to connect with her as it will be an incredible opportunity to embrace a life changing powerful moment. ~ Dr. Isabelle Gillespie

I was fortunate to have a Crystal Mapping Session with Maria Koropecky which resulted in re-affirming my soul’s purpose! The knowledge Maria shared during our session filled me with a sense of wonderment and peace. I was drawn to certain crystals which symbolized higher vibrating energy, healing and heart centering qualities. I found the experience to be so fascinating and enlightening. Thank you Maria ~ Helen Hodgson, Author, Founder Transformational Retreats for Women

Hi Maria, I just wanted to say thanks for the last coaching session we had. I think it was an amazing session especially with the connection between what I was looking to create and the crystals that I picked! Let me know when should we connect next? ~ Adi

I really resonated with Maria’s content when I saw her posts on LinkedIn in the middle of October. Maria then shared that she was having an online workshop, “Overcome Writer’s Block with Gifts from Mother Nature” in early December. Being a person who had written poetry over 25 years ago, I immediately signed up as I wanted to tap into my writer’s block. WOW! I loved her workshop! It was so inspiring, and I loved our small group! We all clicked and felt so connected with one another. Maria then offered a complimentary coaching session with each of us. I have been really interested in learning more about crystals and Maria’s introduction to crystal mapping had me very intrigued as she shared a little bit about it in her workshop. In my coaching session, Maria really listened to what I wanted to focus on and asked a lot of clarifying questions to really make me think things through for added clarity. The three crystals that I chose all resonated with me as Maria explained what each one meant in great detail and then asked what I perceived out of each one I chose and her explanation. If you want to tap into your energy and a do a deep dive of your soul, then I would highly recommend Maria. Keep shining your light brightly, Maria! The world needs kind souls like yourself! ~ Michelle Cordy, Career Coach

I booked my appointment for a Crystal Mapping session after having recently discovered my “perfect system”. The “perfect system” can be described as 2 closely held beliefs that contradict one another. The immediate effect of this discovery sent me into a tailspin as I was able to see how that had played out for decades and how it had run my life. Fortunately, I didn’t have long to wait before help would arrive in the form of Maria! Her tact in asking the right questions and helping me get to the bottom of what I felt was holding me back post “perfect system”. I honestly felt like I was talking with my best friend about what was going on and not noticing the coaching that was going on in the background… she’s pretty slick that way. The Crystal Mapping experience was a bonus. I highly recommend you book yourself in for a session and experience the Crystal Mapping experience ~ Yannick Picard, The Naked Coach

Maria has a unique technique I never have seen before where she brings her coaching skills to enhance the process on a journey of self-discovery. Her approach and knowledge of crystals, kindness, and willingness to create a safe space for a person, create a profound experience where you become more clear and familiar with what was missing and who you wan tot become. After the session I achieved my self-belief in building my online course, where thought the conversation, structure becomes clear on what should I do next and crystals as a bonus boost the self-certainty. My advice to you:- you must try Maria’s Crystal mapping. You will discover great thought for yourself ~ Yana Stockman, Transition Life Coach & Keynote Speaker

I cannot recommend Maria’s Crystal Mapping Session enough. It was most certainly the best coaching with props I’ve ever had. Maria quickly identified what was playing on in my mind, dived into the root cause and gave it a huge kick to one side leaving me with clarity and direction. Amazing! I’ve always been fascinated by crystals, but even if I wasn’t the conversation was worth its weight in gold. Thank you so much, Maria ~ Mark H., Leadership Coach
