DOGuidance = dog + u + i + dance
your dog guiding lightÂ
Behind every DOGuidance session is a blend of accredited tools, lived experience, and the kind of presence that meets you exactly where you are. With certifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), accredited NLP training, neurodivergent awareness (Autism & ADHD), and over two years of psychopedagogy study at university level, I’ve spent years learning how minds work — and how hearts heal.
 Through past leadership and trainer roles in emotionally demanding, people-first environments, I’ve developed a coaching style that’s calm, clear, and deeply intuitive. My coaching is trauma-informed, sensory-aware, and rooted in quiet trust. You won’t be judged or fixed here. You’ll be met, exactly as you are. You’ll be supported in reconnecting with your nervous system, your boundaries, your truth — and doing it at your own pace.
This isn’t about “fixing.”
It’s about returning to who you were before the world told you to hide.
" This has been a life changing experience. From a dog that was completely out of control on walks and at the front door to a dog that listens when I ask for something, waits patiently at the door and a pleasure to walk. Maria is a talented and compassionate dog trainer. She is always kind to you as the dog owner and to your dog. I never felt judged and always felt acknowledged that I was doing my best. This goes way beyond “dog training”. Maria’s approach changes your relationship with your dog to kind, compassionate leader. I cannot recommend DOGuidance enough. Thank you for all you have done for us.”
