About Maria Mateescu
I’m a coach who believes that embracing your so-called “villainous” side can be the key to living a life that feels authentically yours. With a background in software engineering and years of experience navigating people-pleasing tendencies, I bring a blend of analytical insight and heartfelt understanding to my work.
Whether you’re untangling impostor syndrome, learning to set boundaries, or striving to live unapologetically, I create a safe, empowering space to help you grow. Together, we’ll transform the habits that hold you back into tools for living boldly and authentically.
