Maria is a coach, Human Design reader, and Head of Administration at The Soul Institute. She spent over a decade in the corporate world, working in oil and gas, software development, and IT consulting, before stepping into the wellness space, where everything began to shift.

She believes that when we show up with care, honesty, and inner trust, the work becomes more than just a role, it becomes a path back to ourselves.

Gabriella de Mori is a Registered Clinical Counsellor & meditation coach with more than 15 years of experience working in Australia and internationally.

She works with individuals and couples in her successful bespoke private practice that specialises in Somatic Internal Family Systems therapy.  Her mission is to provide supportive heart-centred services that privilege self-esteem, emotional intelligence and healthy relationships without a clinical or psychological lense.

One of her greatest joys is helping clients to meet their Inner World, including the parts they love and the parts they don’t understand. She loves guiding clients to relate to the parts of them they don’t like, to show them they aren’t bad or shameful parts, but misunderstood parts that have been working incredibly hard to protect them from their deepest fears.   

Training in somatic parts of work has dramatically changed and inspired her work and she sees the benefits of this unique approach with her clients, especially in addressing the parts of clients that are less compassionate, especially inner criticism and shame.
