My name is Mary, my family calls me Mary Cecilia.

Leading A Simple Life

I am honored and grateful that you are here. I am a New Mexico Girl living the island life in Kauai. I am a long time sufferer of anxiety and overwhelm. I made some changes that helped me clear out the clutter of stuff, toxic relationships, bad Juju, time wasting activities like “Where are my Keys”! And got back to living an organized & fabulous life. Yes it is possible!

I have a degree in accounting and passed the painful CPA exam. I love accounting because of the organizational aspect of the profession. And I love working with people and when it comes to accounting, it is a very intimate part of someone's life and business. Trust is necessary. But I knew there was some healing I needed to do for myself first. So I became a yoga instructor! 14 years ago I just said, let's see what else I can do for humanity. I spent the first year healing myself through meditation, relaxation, mindfulness, Tai Chi and Yoga exercises. Ahhhhh….. I could combine what I loved the most, healing people and accounting. I outgrew the company and wellness coaching was the next obvious step towards combining all the aspects of my life and experience that I love.

I coach Gen Xers just like me to discover how they can lead a simpler more meaningful life. I can tell you from experience that no matter where you go or what you do, you can not avoid yourself. Don’t waste time thinking “Ohhh… it will be better when… I lose 10 lbs, my kids go to college, I retire, I move to Hawaii, I get my dream job, I find the right man"… when, when when. You can feel amazing today! You can live the life of your dreams today! You can be your ideal self today! You can get your s**t together today!

I have been all over the place and have had many passions. I went from being an accountant/CPA with a promising career… to a yoga instructor for half the salary. Each part of my journey has contributed to who I am today. I discovered I am really an energetic being having a human experience. I am energy, vibrating at the level of my thoughts and beliefs. I started to say no to people, things, ideas, anything that didn’t align with my highest, most profound intentions. And I started saying YES to courage, and be and do more than I ever imagined. I am assisting others on finding their internal compass, to express and celebrate their own uniqueness and contribute towards a complete now. For now is all we have.

My mission is to inspire mindfulness and presence for assisting others in minimizing stress and anxiety, letting go of toxic habits and relationships that weigh them down and in doing so, create a community of people interested in bringing more meaning and fulfillment into their lives.

Imagine waking up feeling excited about your day, your body feels light, your spirits high. You see yourself in the mirror and you can see someone you love and respect looking back at you. You appreciate yourself in a way that touches your own heart. A smile easily stretches across your face and you are sure that you will create the best day yet. You are certain to make a difference in the lives you touch today and no matter what happens opportunity is always close by.
I coach to help others feel this way and realize that it is possible for them too!

I absolutely love nature, hikes, walking on the beach and being near water. I love living in Kauai, Hawaii. I love my daily yoga and meditation practice, especially combined with nature and water. I love eating with my family and cooking fun and healthy meals. I love movie night and the occasional Netflix binge, hey, it is all about balancing. Personal growth is very important to me, so whatever I do and whatever comes my way, I try to take a bit of learning from the experience. I can extract love from the tasks I enjoy and the tasks that bring more growth. You will learn more about the things I LOVE in my Blog. So stay tuned.
