Hi! I am MARÍA JOSÉ
*a spanish name that easier ressumes as MARIA 💖
My "long hard to spell" name is Maria Jose Valenzuela Ferretti, from Chilean/Italian background, one of 8 sibblings, (mostly girls), and mother of an active 11 year old boy. I live and work in Byron Bay, an amazing little town in Australia since 2010. I am a certified therapist in Ayurvedic medicine and a holistic well-being specialist. After more than 10 years of working with women around the world, I have a clear mission: to help you reconnect with yourself, find balance, and become the best version of you.
My life wasn’t always like this. I spent many years working as a designer in Europe until a cancer diagnosis changed my perspective forever. That experience led me to immerse myself in the world of Ayurveda and yoga, not just as a personal practice, but as a lifelong mission. Today, I share everything I’ve learned with women like you who are looking to transform their health, mind, and spiritual connection.
🌍 My journey began in Bali, where I studied with Dr. Guruji Somvier, who taught me how to live according to the principles of Ayurveda and yoga.
🧘♀️ I was initiated into Kriya Yoga by my dear Guru Yogiraj Siddhanath, integrating self-realization practices and meditation into my life.
📚 I deepened my studies in India and at the Ayurveda College in Byron Bay, further expanding my knowledge with Dr. Jason Chandler.
✨ In 2019, I founded PranaLife Ayurveda, offering detox and wellness programs. By 2021, Ayurveda Sol was born: a holistic platform with online and 1:1 coaching sessions dedicated to busy women looking to restore health, and empower themselves through diet and daily routines.
My mission is to guide women on a journey to holistic well-being through Ayurveda, helping them reconnect with themselves, restore balance, and create a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Through personalized coaching, Ayurvedic consultations, and wellness programs, I provide practical tools in nutrition, self-care, and daily routines so that you can feel more energized, at peace, and in control of your health.
My approach is simple, compassionate, and realistic, designed for busy women who want to prioritize themselves without feeling overwhelmed or guilty.
✨ Healthy routines and habits: Each program is designed to help you integrate effective practices, no matter how busy your day is.
🍽️ Mindful eating: Discover the deep connection between food, emotions, and spirituality, and learn to nourish yourself from a place of self-love and awareness.
💖 Exclusive resources: Audio trainings, workshops, and curated content for women seeking a transformational change in their lives.
My Approach: Empowerment towards self-knowledge
In 2024, I’ve come to a powerful realization: The best thing I can offer you isn’t just a list of recommendations; it’s the ability to take control of your own health.
