We’re looking forward to introducing you to Maria Micha. Check out our conversation below.
Maria , so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I like to center myself before I start my day. To do that I meditate for 15 mins. I think about the experiences I want to have through the day. I set the intentions for the important tasks in the day. I, then, boil some water with ginger, cumin seeds, black pepper and lemon juice. Great to kickstart the body in the mornings. After that, I try to get a small workout or some movement in. Followed by breakfast and a large cup of coffee. Once, this routine is over – I look at my phone, catch-up on messages and get on with the day.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a spiritual psychotherapist, clinical mental health counselor, author, fashion designer and artist. In my career spanning over 3 decades, I’ve built a multi-faceted body of work. My work and mission are focussed on empowering people to find their purpose, provide them with the tools to live a fulfilling life where they reach their highest potential. A large part of my career has been evolving the Anagenesis Method – a harmonious blend of multiple modalities of counseling and healing.
What makes my work unique is the multi-modality offerings where I customise a blend of methods to tailor the program to each client’s requirements. The highlight of my career has been how I marry the power of science and the spiritual knowledge of the millennia to heal the deepest wounds and enable healing and growth in families, individuals and organisations. My greatest strength as a therapist is guiding people to transmute their painful experiences into personal power and wisdom. This process will propel them to the highest heights of joyful existence and attainment.
My recently launched my book ‘Why Am I Here?’, a 170 fully illustrated pages outlining my learnings that have helped me uncover some of life’s mysteries to forge a path to lasting happiness. With this book, I want to help the readers unlock their own gifts and find their source of joy.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was a curious child who wanted to see the world. My earliest memories are those where I felt free and limitless. That started to change when a member of my family started diminishing my value and attempted to instill in me a belief that my life won’t amount to much. But thankfully, I was able to break away from that mindset and discover my gift to be able to see other people’s pain and alleviate their suffering. This, made me see myself in a light of power and positivity.
What have been the defining wounds of your life—and how have you healed them?
The wounds from my early childhood where I was constantly faced with put-downs from a family member and my marriage which I had to walk out of, were hard to heal. But, with the power of spiritual psychotherapy, meditation, reformed self belief and self worth, I managed to leave that pain behind.
I learnt to use my ability to see a situation clearly and be brutally honest about what needs to be done. With the support of my friends, community, humanity in general, I was able to break away from patterns that didn’t serve me well and use my experience, education and empathy to empower others and give back. Being able to help people evolve, is what truly helped me.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I have a very strong desire and vision to host my own talk show. Few mediums marry closeness and reach like the talk show. It invites audiences into moments of genuine connection while spanning vast audiences. Oprah Winfrey showed how television, when rooted in honesty and empathy, can transform both culture and consciousness.
My aim is to use my gifts to pull people out of the darkness that life’s challenges bring. My career is built on having helped people and companies heal, survive and thrive using multi-modality therapy. But there are only so many people you can help when it’s one-on-one. Imagine the millions of lives you can touch when you have a powerful platform like a talk show.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. If you retired tomorrow, what would your customers miss most?
My absolute honesty in diagnosing what’s holding them back or harming them. I tend to be very quick and direct in seeing through the veils of what the clients want me to see in order to get close to what is really going on with them. I think sometimes some of them are taken aback with what they hear. I’m not scared to say the thing that they are avoiding to hear if it is going to serve their best interest eventually.
I also think they’ll miss how I use an amalgamation of multiple types of therapies, modalities and methods to give them wholistic, long lasting solutions.
