Schon als Teenager litt Maria unter Rückenschmerzen. Sie vermutete, dass das mit ihrer Körperhaltung zuammenhing, erkannte aber nicht das genaue Problem. Regelmäßige Yoga Praxis und Besuche beim Osteopathen halfen kurzfristig, die Schmerzen kamen immer wieder zurück. Auf der Suche nach einer nachhaltigen Lösung entdeckte sie zufällig Esther Gokhales Videos auf You Tube. Fasziniert von der Logik der Methode, übte sie regelmäßig mit Esthers Buch Nie wieder Rückenschmerzen.

Die Schmerzen besserten sich etwas, aber der Durchbruch kam im Mai 2017, als sie an einem Grundlagenkurs bei Esther Gokhale persönlich in Deutschland teilnahm—die Schmerzen verschwanden dauerhaft. Durch das Gokhale-Active Program vertiefte Maria ihr Verständnis der Methode und  integrierte einige wichtige Details, die sie bis dahin nicht beachtet hatte.

Die Gokhale Methode ist einfach, aber nicht leicht—deswegen ließ Maria sich zur Gokhale-Methode-Trainerin ausbilden. Heute gibt sie ihr Wissen mit Begeisterung weiter und schätzt insbesondere die Verbundenheit, die durch diese Arbeit zwischen den Menschen entsteht.

Maria ist zudem Familientherapeutin, Lehrbeauftragte an der Hochschule Niederrhein im Bereich Sozialwesen und zertifizierte PEP® - Anwenderin nach Dr. Michael Bohne. Maria unterrichtet in Mönchengladbach, Deutschland.

Maria  suffered from back pain since she was a teenager. She suspected that her posture might be the cause, but couldn't identify the exact issue. Yoga and osteopathy provided only temporary relief. While searching for a lasting solution, she came across Esther Gokhale's videos on YouTube. Captivated by the logic of the method, she began practicing the techniques in Esther’s book, 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back.

Using the book, Maria’s pain levels dropped significantly , but the real breakthrough came when she attended the in-person Gokhale Foundations course with Esther—her pain vanished. Through the Gokhale Active program, Maria deepened her understanding of the method and integrated many important details she had previously missed.

The Gokhale Method is simple but not easy—that’s why Maria decided to become a teacher. Today, she shares her knowledge with enthusiasm and is especially grateful for the deep connection this work fosters between people.

Maria also works as a family therapist and lecturer in social work at the University of Applied Sciences Niederrheinand and is a certified PEP® practitioner. She teaches in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
