Hi, I’m Chi Maria. I’m a certified resilience and ICF-certified life coach, as well as a former financial and business professional with nearly 20 years of experience helping people shift their thinking and create meaningful change. 

My work began in financial education—leading seminars as a registered investment representative, business banking officer, and later a business strategist and nonprofit consultant. Now, as a professional coach, I bring that same results-driven mindset into a coaching space that centers strategy, compassion, and wellness. I coach virtually from the Chicagoland area, supporting women wherever they are in the world.

Through resilience coaching and neuroscience-informed tools, I help women:

I have a deep heart for caregivers—mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and women supporting others while silently carrying the weight of their own dreams. I know what it’s like to pour into everyone else while trying not to lose yourself in the process. You deserve support too.

As someone living with ADHD, raising children with ADHD (now thriving adults), and now helping raise grandchildren with the same diagnosis, I don’t just coach this—I live it. Before certifications, my life was the proof. I’ve mastered how to work with my brain, not against it—and I’m here to help you do the same.

This lived experience fuels my work as an ADHD advocate—creating safe, empowering space for women to rewrite their own stories around focus, success, and self-worth. 

My approach is always loving, supportive, non-judgmental, and real.
And no matter the focus of our work, wellness remains at the center.
Because I believe that lasting change only comes when we approach ourselves holistically—mind, body, spirit, and strategy.

If you’re ready to build a life that works for your brain and your vision—while still showing up for those you love—I’d love to work with you.
