Maria Mahboubi
Somatic Healer and Coach
Awakened Executive Contributor
Maria Mahboubi started her career in public relations, then moved on to marketing and sales and had a long career in the international direct marketing industry. She launched a media buying agency that tailored to the US Hispanic market at a time when it was the most talked about growing segment of the US population. She began to raise her family in her early thirties when she transitioned into Real Estate.
Initially, Maria helped her husband build his boutique commercial real estate firm and then transitioned into the luxury residential real estate space. Well into her real estate career, Maria became curious about energy, ancestral, somatic healing and decided to learn more about somatic healing in particular, as she had experienced it with great personal results. She realized how much enjoyment she received from helping others discover self-healing in such a powerful and transformative way and became a certified somatic practitioner. She began her practice 7 years ago, later incorporating coaching, as well as different types of methodologies to support her offering. Today, she primarily helps people who are in their own life transitions. She helps them overcome self-doubt to make empowered decisions by becoming aware of their past traumas and current stresses, transforming unhealthy belief systems, and ultimately helping them embody their truth.
Certified in Somatic Release Techniques from the Somatic Institute in Los Angeles and Point Holding Processes from the PsychoNeuroEnergetics Practitioner Training Program, she is a somatic healer and coach offering one-on-one sessions and transformative workshops.
She is also a “Quinn Essentials” Women Empowerment Coach, a Certified Embodied Breathwork Facilitator and Meditation Facilitator by the Somatic Arts Academy and studies through the lineage of The Strozzi Institute of Somatic Coaching. Learn more about Maria Mahboubi at www.theawakenedchoice.com.

It was 3:30 a.m. on a rainy morning. The cameras captured what we would later learn was a home invasion.

As fast as he came in, he left, and other than leaving a trail of untidiness and disorder, no one saw him, as we were all thankfully sleeping.
Waking Up to Our Transformation: 9 Steps to Making Awakened Choices
An awakening is the bringing forth of deep awareness. An awakening requires clarity. We seek a deeper understanding of our truth when we long for clarity. Moments of clarity are gifts, but their power lies in the choices they inspire. As we mature, we understand how moments of clarity and awakening usually come at the expense of trying times. We are then called to seek our more profound truth to make awakened choices that align with our whole being.
Untangling the Web of Worry
When our first daughter came into the world, something I never expected showed up alongside her. Sure, there were beautiful gifts, home-cooked meals, and unending well-wishes, but something else also entered my life. WORRY! It’s not as though I didn’t worry before becoming a mother, but parenthood took it to another level. With three kids, I‘ve found that the opportunities to worry don’t exactly decrease. They only increase, especially as kids start driving! The truth is that worry can plague us, control us, and even define us, especially as mothers. Some of us define ourselves by the degree of concern (worry) we carry around.
