Parent Speaker Series- Newburyport, MA
Maria was everything- inspiring, knowledgeable, funny, open, and really set the tone for an engaged audience. I was not prepared for how much I learned and how much I laughed.

The Root to Rise Speaking Program™ is a transformational journey into grounded, authentic communication. This experience blends nervous‑system awareness, storytelling, structure, and embodied presence to help you speak in a way that feels powerful, honest, and fully aligned with who you are. Instead of memorizing scripts or performing a version of yourself, you’ll learn to root into your truth, regulate your energy, and rise into your voice with clarity and confidence.
Through guided practices, live coaching, and supportive community, you’ll build the skills — and the self‑trust — to communicate with impact in any room: meetings, workshops, interviews, keynotes, or everyday leadership moments. This is speaking as connection. Speaking as courage. Speaking as you.
A grounded approach to powerful, authentic communication.

Four live, 2‑hour virtual sessions + one personalized 1:1 coaching session. You’ll learn practical tools for storytelling, presence, confidence, structure, delivery, and audience connection.
No. Sessions will not be recorded. Participants will receive worksheets for each session and taking notes is highly recommended.
That being said, all live 1:1 sessions will be recorded and shared with registered participants.
You’ll still get full access to all the materials. The program is designed so you can learn, practice, and integrate at your own pace.
Yourself, something to write with, and a willingness to practice in real time.
Comfortable clothing is helpful as we’ll be doing simple embodied exercises to support grounding and presence.
Nothing heavy. You’ll receive small, optional practices between sessions to help you integrate what you’re learning into your everyday communication.
Just remember- the more you practice, the better you will be able to integrate the skills.
You’ll get personalized support tailored to your goals — whether that’s refining a story, strengthening your delivery, calming nerves, or preparing for a specific speaking moment.
You’re in the right place. This program is intentionally designed to help you feel steady, supported, and safe as you practice. Growth happens gently here.

Maria is funny, raw, honest, and brightens up the entire room.
You were an incredible speaker! Your energy and presence was so powerful and it was evident that the entire room of hundreds of people were listening intently and taking in what you were saying.
