She has a knack for turning "meh" into "heck yes!" — whether she's speaking to an audience of thousands or sharing a private aha moment. Once a face on national commercials and the energetic host of WWE shows in front of roaring crowds of 20,000, Maria heard a whisper inside that said *"Time to change the world…from the inside out."* She followed that call, studying with **Pathways of Light** (an accredited spiritual school inspired by *A Course in Miracles*), and hasn't looked back. Today, she mixes humor, heart, and a little magic to help people kick obstacles to the curb and actually live their happy. People magazine called her "Una campeona sin rival." She's a wife and mom living in Florida. **Maria's philosophy.** *"Hola Happy Soul. I'm Maria Felipe, and I'm here to remind you of a little secret: you're already happy. Happiness isn't something you have to chase — it's your natural state. You just forgot. So how do we remember? Easy. Make the choice. The choice to want joy, to embrace your birthright: omnipresent, unshakable happiness."* **Endorsement.** > "Maria does a great job of reminding us that getting happier should be fun!" > — Gerald G. Jampolsky, MD, Author of *Love is Letting Go of Fear* --- ## Maria's Tradition: A Course in Miracles (ACIM) Maria teaches from *A Course in Miracles*, a self-study spiritual curriculum that uses Christian terminology to teach non-dualistic spiritual concepts. ACIM's core themes: forgiveness as the path to inner peace, perception as a choice between fear and love, and the recognition that happiness is the natural state of mind. Maria's approach is grounded in ACIM's principles but delivered with humor, accessibility, and practical real-world application. She trained through **Pathways of Light**, an accredited ACIM spiritual school. Bilingual practitioner — English and Spanish (Español). --- ## Ways to Work with Maria Source: https://mariafelipe.org/work-with-me/ **Heal, Grow, Laugh — All On Your Terms.** Maria offers four ways to work together: 1. **Inner Wisdom Counseling & Spiritual Coaching** — 1-on-1 sessions to unlock the healing power already inside you. 2. **8-Week Programs** — Healing Your Inner Child and Spiritual Awakening Program. 3. **Speaking & Workshops** — Live events in English and Español.
