Wonderful suggestions and guidelines for everyday situations! Learned to understand myself a little more. 

I appreciate the wonderful information and strategies that I will apply in my life and at work. I can be more positive as I approach negative emotions. Thank you. 

Maria’s spirit and practical personal experiences, tools for managing one’s inner thoughts give the stressed modern worker hope in this complex world. 

Great insight into your mindset and how you can affect change in your life. Learning to deal with negative emotion in a constructive and positive way.

I was privileged to participate as a student in Ms. Maria Baltazzi’s in-depth meditation class. She provided the outmost levels of instruction of a powerful meditation technique in a format that was easy to practice and learn. Her passionate and dynamic teaching allowed me to enter into a deep level of awareness, to develop and maintain a personal practice of meditation on a regular basis, and to reap the benefits of evident spiritual growth in addition to an increased sense of well-being, energy and creativity.

Thank you for being so generous with your time and expertise. Your meditation workshops have significantly improved my life. I feel a greater sense of peace and I feel that I have the means to help me manage stressful everyday challenges. Your workshop on ‘Setting Intentions’ was outstanding! The process was well-organized. The exercises were engaging. Each one helped us to uncover and focus our thoughts. At the end of the program, we had the tools we needed to help us achieve our emotional, spiritual, and behavioral goals.

My biggest ‘takeaway’ was being able to dig deep within myself with the questions you provided, to self-reflect on past attitudes, and to have a better understanding of ‘who I am.” I found it interesting, how difficult it was for me to observe “quiet time” yet realizing later how therapeutic it really was. “The Plan of Action” to ensure we attain our service for the year was excellent. I’ve read a lot about the importance of setting personal boundaries. After attending your meditation retreat it occurred to me, how can we set boundaries if we haven’t truly connected with our inner self? My answers to the Spiritual Questions you presented, was so instrumental in helping me discover and now, finally, being able to implement my personal boundaries. Thank You, Maria, for the wonderful, insightful, and inspirational seminar. You have truly made a positive difference in my life.

Maria has a true passion for “living life” and wants to share this with others. Her topics are brilliantly selected to couple our everyday challenges and to relinquish what no longer serves us. Therefore, replacing it with behaviors and thoughts that will allow us to live our life to the fullest. There is an open session at the end, to share our experiences and thoughts. We walk away regaining an open and positive mind with tools to achieve forward-thinking. There is a sense of community, love, and support at times when I’ve become desensitized and closed off from society. I’m reminded that God is always in our midst with Maria. She is His example of how essential it is to give back and inspire others with our God giving talent.
