About YOU

You are a brilliantly self-aware woman, with a big heart and a pattern of push & pull relationship dynamics – that you’re trying to learn from.

Romantic partners have left you feeling enlivened, yet unfulfilled, your needs ultimately unmet, and with little sense of emotional safety. You’ve seen such great potential in them, and felt such a depth of connection… If only they would step up, or chill out, or be more vulnerable, or be more stable!

Meanwhile, you are seeking your own ways to show up differently, to be more authentic, more secure, and more resourced. And you appreciate the unique dojo that Relationship provides for your personal growth.

Your friends don’t get it, though. They do not share your struggles or desires. They try to advise you, but their loving concern feels more alienating than supportive.

And the common advice that tells you to “know your worth and ditch the loser” seems to be missing the mark for your Soul. Not only does it feel like “you’re doing it wrong”, it also seems to be pushing you to sacrifice your innate compassion…

Empower Your Compassion

While a course correction may be in order, your softness is not a weakness.

Loving the “wrong” person isn’t the problem, it’s just a reflection of your current state of Self-Love. And condemning what love you DO have is not the solution. Your love is your strength; all it needs is to be expanded – so it’s big enough for YOURSELF as well as others.

And this can be a very uncomfortable process! It requires rewiring your brain and your body, reprogramming your subconscious, and reconfiguring the way you relate to yourself. Not that you’re doing it “wrong” right now; it’s just that a shift in this regard could open up worlds of possibility for you.

When you learn to love yourself as fiercely as you would protect a child or dear pet, you can start to nurture your way through the discomfort of the unfamiliar – of a love that functions differently than what you were conditioned with, and leaves you more fulfilled than you’ve ever imagined.

Whether that looks like showing up differently and leaning into your current partnership (so long as it’s safe to do so), or consciously, compassionately, and nonreactively parting ways with them; mindfully dating and experimenting with different energetics than you’re used to, or spending some time uncoupled, in deep reflection and connection to yourself…

I’m here to tell you that you CAN break the cycle, and you don’t have to sacrifice your heart to do it.

A Loving Guide for Your Journey

Breaking old patterns and learning new ways of being is not without difficulty. It’s much like navigating in uncharted waters.

In such circumstances, it’s not uncommon to hire a guide to show you the way. As it turns out, I know the route from Push & Pull to Peace of Mind well, because I carved it myself.

I’m Mariya Graestone and I offer coaching support for women who are struggling with a pattern of insecure push & pull relationship dynamics.

When you’re ready, I am here to lovingly guide you through the rough waters of Rocky Relationship towards internally rooted security and a self-love that sets a whole new standard for your life – without sacrificing an ounce of your gorgeous heart.
