"Through my time spent with Maria, I was greatly encouraged in my journey as a young entrepreneur. She listened to me with great intention, while sharing meaningful thoughts and ideas. Through this sharing, I was reminded to continue to dream big. She has encouraged me to remember how important and progressive my work is in the education of young minds in my country. She has shared great knowledge with me for which I am incredibly grateful."
- Nadine Moore, Young Entrepreneur, South Africa
“Maria’s compassionate yet succinct, and actionable coaching brought me into the right space before I reconnected with a very important person in my life from whom I had been estranged. Maria helped me sit with the sensations I had in my body about this person, drop into my heart, focus on how I wanted to feel during and after this interaction, and my higher vision for the relationship. As a result, I was able to show up as my best self, and the conversation went better than I ever imagined! We have an authentic, enjoyable relationship again, but this time based on truly knowing each other. Maria brought me into mind-heart alignment and I feel the benefits on a daily basis. There are lots of “coaches" out there, but Maria brings a lifetime of work in social-emotional intelligence, systems thinking and genuine mindfulness, lived every day. Maria is without a doubt the most compassionate person I know. She is ever able to step into your shoes, yet lift you up to your higher self.”

“Maria has honed her innate gift for intuitive insights and has combined it with extensive academic research and tons of experience! Whenever I engage with Maria, I always feel safe, seen, and heard; a great combination.”
- Jean Karki, MA, CAGS, Expressive Arts Coordinator, San Francisco Bay Area
“Maria Lineger is a very special person, social emotional specialist and coach. My son was fortunate enough to be guided by Maria for 3 years at Athena Academy. He credits his growth, confidence, compassion, and sense of humor with Maria's lessons and approach to life. There is an innate spirituality to Maria in that she is so comfortable in her own skin. She is very open and willing to engage in tough discussions while being incredibly supportive and reassuring. Maria embraces who you are and does not try and change you, rather, she invites you to reflect on what will make you feel happier, more purposeful, more relaxed, and successful. Maria always knows what to say--but she knows that just having the right words is never the only solution. Maria knows how to coach and encourage you to be fully aware of your potential, your strengths, and your unique qualities. She delivers her messages in a way that feels personal, loving, and effective. In whatever capacity you work with Maria, you will find a committed person whose only goal is to help you be a better version of yourself. To know Maria is to genuinely love her.”
- Allison Kluger, Stanford University Lecturer, San Francisco Bay Area
