How do you communicate your needs and claim your identity
when your body, mind, and culture feel like they’re speaking different languages?
these aren’t separate issues, they’re interconnected layers of who you are
If you feel exhausted from constantly translating
your symptoms to doctors,
your feelings to partners,
your culture to colleagues,
and your reality to a world that doesn’t quite understand you
you’re in the right place
I’m maria
I’m a Greek diaspora woman living with late-diagnosed ADHD and fluctuating chronic illness. I’ve navigated healthcare systems across continents, built a life between languages and cultures, and spent years learning how to function in a world that wasn’t designed for people like me. I write about myth, identity, and the body. My writing and work are about reclaiming what gets lost when you grow up between worlds. read more
when systems aren’t built for you
you have to build your own
The Terrain I Navigate
Life Transition Coaching for Multicultural, Neurodivergent & Chronically Ill Adults
I work with:
- Third Culture Kids (TCKs)
- Diaspora communities
- Late-diagnosed ADHD/autistic Adults
- People navigating chronic and invisible illnesses
And anyone navigating across cultures and contexts
Working with me is a dedicated partnership. I help you build your own internal compass so you can navigate any environment, conversation, or challenge with greater steadiness and self-trust.
for organisations: educational & programme consulting
I collaborate with charities, community organisations, and education providers working with individuals navigating cultural transition, health disruption, neurodivergence, and marginalisation.
Living Hellenes
This list is a living archive of individuals and organisations across Greece, Cyprus, and the diaspora that have a living relationship with Hellenic heritage. It includes people working in ritual, scholarship, literature, visual art, performance, and craft. They all share a commitment to engaging with Greek culture as a living tradition rather than a frozen artifact.
