About Me

My backstory, experience, and credentials

Hello and welcome! I'm Maria Luz. Astrologer, hypnotist, podcaster, psychic medium, and writer

.

For years, I was a part of corporate America, working as a scientist and then an organizational leader in the pharmaceutical industry for 29 years. While it allowed me support my family as a single mother, over time, I felt less and less aligned, and found myself numbing out just to get through life. Starting in 2022, I had a complete transformation and spiritual awakening. It began when I got sober and started unraveling all of the tangled reasons I drank in the first place. I did a lot of personal examination and took action to become a person who loves her life and life’s work.

​Hypnosis, astrology and other spiritual modalities helped me discover my soul’s purpose, connect to the Universe, and raise my consciousness closer to that of my higher self. I believe they can help you do the same: to embrace your essence, honor your desires, and fearlessly express your true self.
