Why Symptoms Appear—Even When Nothing Seems Physically Wrong

Your brain is trying to protect you!

When life is filled with stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm, your body can begin sending “alarm signals”—fatigue, pain, tightness, dizziness—as a way to get your attention. This is your hypothalamus at work, the part of your brain responsible for regulating stress and keeping your body in balance. It cannot tell the difference between physical danger and emotional pressure. Over time, it gets stuck in overdrive, and the symptoms don't stop.

What Makes This Therapy Different?

Most medical professionals treat the body.

Most mental health professionals treat the mind.

But conditions like fibromyalgia and ME/CFS sit at the intersection of both. That's why my approach integrates CBT with brain-body retraining techniques that:

Calm the overactive stress response system

Help the body feel safe again

Reduce symptoms like pain and exhaustion

Build long-term emotional and physical resilience

You’ll learn to listen to your body’s messages and respond in new ways that restore calm and energy.

People I work with are often:

Compassionate, responsible, and hard-working

Overwhelmed by stress, illness, or emotional strain

Feeling let down by the healthcare system

Ready to take a more active role in their healing

What to Expect?

6–10 CBT sessions, often enough to see strong results

Practical, brain-based tools tailored to your life

A compassionate guide who knows what it’s like—because I’ve lived it myself (I´ve had fibromyalgia diagnosis for 25 years, and I´ve tested each method on myself - keeping my symptoms away)

Client Feedback

"Through brief CBT sessions with Maria, I learned that my own mindset and reactions could help me manage fibromyalgia."
– Sanna

I want to share a tip that has really helped me live with fibromyalgia. I learned powerful techniques through Reverse Therapy while working with Maria in cognitive brief therapy. It was encouraging to realize that in addition to exercise, diet, and relaxation, I could also support my well-being through my own body, mind, and perspective.

Maria is warm, energetic, and has a wonderful sense of humor – it was easy to find the right tools for my life with her guidance. I’ve learned a lot and now have ways to ease both pain and fatigue. A heartfelt thank-you to Maria!

"I got practical tools to recover from exhaustion and pain."
– Teija, almost 60, long-time office worker, living with fibromyalgia since age 45

I’ve had fibromyalgia for over ten years. The pain worsens especially with weather changes. When I began therapy, my body was full of pain and tension – long workdays, stress, and the earlier death of my father had overloaded both mind and body. I had little energy in the evenings, stopped exercising, and gained weight.

The sessions with Maria were held via Zoom, which made them easy to attend. Maria’s warm and trustworthy presence made it easy to talk openly. I received practical advice and fresh perspectives that helped me move forward. Her exercises were immediately engaging and easy to apply to daily life. A memorable moment was when, during one session, I felt pain in my elbow simply “melt away.”

I highly recommend Maria’s therapy to anyone looking for tangible support in managing pain and fatigue.

"Therapy helped me find my way back to life after long covid."
– Client from 2023 to 2025

I had been struggling with severe long covid / ME/CFS for a year and a half when I began therapy with Maria. At the time, I was mostly homebound, though medication allowed me to continue studying. One requirement before starting was reading a book on Reverse Therapy, so I was already familiar with the theory, which helped us dive right in – I truly appreciated this.

We mostly focused on anxiety rooted in past trauma. It was a relief to have someone offer an outside perspective and personal support alongside the other healing tools I was using, such as pacing, dietary changes, nervous system work, somatic practices, parts work, and trauma therapy.

Maria embraces a compassionate and integrative approach – she doesn’t exclude other tools or therapies but supports healing holistically. Her knowledge of trauma was very important to me. Her personal experience with chronic illness added a unique layer of understanding on top of her professional training. She is approachable, encouraging, and provides practical exercises and assignments to support the process.
