About
“As an ICF-aligned coach, ecotherapy practitioner, and international educator, I support the ethically-ambitious as they step away from self-sacrifice to walk by faith— creating lives that are truly fulfilled, and not just successful.”
I’m Maraina, founder of the Fulfillment-Focused Coaching Movement and a Colorado native thriving in Washington, DC. Welcome to this sacred space!
As a globally conscious anthropologist, and whimsically queer woman, I navigate the world with purpose and gratitude. Guided by love, faith, ancestral values, an HBCU foundation, and a M.A. in Education, it’s truly a pleasure to connect with you here.
I believe foundation of true fulfillment is: aligning with your authentic nature, protecting your personal power, and mindfully choosing environments where your talents can genuinely flourish.
I am a mixed-methods student of life, utilizing credentialing in Coaching, Teaching English as a Foreign Language, Education Abroad, and Ecotherapy to serve those along their journey to self-actualization.
I invite you to explore what’s possible when your vision of fulfillment and values align.
You May Be Called to (Re)imagine Ambition Together If...
You crave eco-therapeutic grounding: You want to step away from burnout and align with natural rhythms to regulate your nervous system and restore inner peace.
You value being consciously connected globally: You navigate life with an awareness of cultural relativism, positionality, access, and privilege, and seek a space that honors the fullness of your human experience.
You thrive in client-led exploration: You want a true partner who honors your inner wisdom, not someone who uses your space to give their opinion.
You are ready to redefine your limits: You are done playing small or acting out of fear, and ready to plant your talents where they can flourish.
You seek true fulfillment over surface success: You want your life to reflect your authentic spirit, walking with confidence on a path that feels unbothered and whole.
“I invite you to tend to your most grounded, honest, inspired and unbothered self— And step into a more expansive vision for your world.”
Fulfillment-Focused Coaching Pillars
-
In our fast-paced world driven by constant urgency, my practice integrates certified eco-therapeutic techniques to help you re-anchor. Nature isn't just a backdrop; it is a master class in pacing, resilience, and seasonal growth.
By inviting clients to explore and integrate nature-grounded mindfulness and somatic reflection into our conversations, we co-create a container where you can step back from overload. This holistic practice helps quiet mental noise, build emotional resilience, and ground your ambitions in sustainable energy rather than exhaustion.

I do not enter our sessions as an expert telling you how to live your life. You are the author of your story, and you hold the compass for every session.
Grounded in rigorous ICF core standards, our relationship is a collaborative, empowered partnership. Through evocative inquiry and active listening, I help you uncover your inner wisdom, challenge limiting paradigms, and design concrete action steps. You set the agenda; I hold the space, support your accountability, and celebrate your breakthroughs as you build a life centered on genuine fulfillment.

My coaching practice bridges deep personal reflection with global perspective, giving you the space to slow down, gain clarity, and chart a path forward that is authentically yours.
Together, explore how your cultural identity, geography, lived experience, and broader community context shape your beliefs, ambitions and decision-making. By fostering a deep sense of socio-political awareness and cultural sensitivity, I honor where you come from while supporting to expand your vision for where you can go, helping you navigate life transitions with empathy, agility, and expansive vision.
“Your outer world mirrors your inner thoughts, beliefs, and emotional state back to you. Is it time to change what you see?”
