Maria has been a phenomenal teacher over the years. When you meet her, she is always a joy, light, and fun. You would not think she is a highly skilled shaman, trained by powerful teachers from South America and the Philippines. She has been a trusted guide in my life's journey, has helped me with many spiritual ceremonies, and truly is an excellent teacher whom I cherish. Maria has much power within her and holds a depth and breadth of knowledge unmatched in our area. She can bring clarity to any situation you are experiencing. read more

My husband had a tarot reading with Maria and came home so amazed (which is very unlike him) that I immediately made an appointment for myself in a couple weeks. We also made an appointment to have Maria come over our home for a home clearing. She's incredibly spiritually attuned to her surroundings and energy. As she walked through some of the rooms in our home, she stated some interesting facts unknown to her and she was spot on. We were speechless. She's such a radiant soul and we felt such peace in her presence. She's professional, warm, personable and truly amazing! read more

In 2021, my life took a traumatic turn and by the time Summer hit, I found myself in search of some sort of healing help. I received an email of upcoming classes offered from Danville Yoga and Wellness and I noticed a class called Sound Healing. I also saw a class called Spirit Circle. I then noticed that they were both led by Maria Haswell. That week I attended both classes! The Sound Healing was a truly amazing experience! I could deeply feel the individual tones resonate within me. The Spirit Circle class I continue to attend on a regular basis over a year and a half later! The support, the guidance, the love and the care that is brought to this tribe as a whole is beyond words! I have been learning so much about myself and my strengths, that this has been a journey that I never knew I would be walking through with such joy a year and a half later. Maria has personally guided me thru healings that I never knew were possible! From meditations where all my ancestors are there cheering me on to actual rituals in her sacred office space of cleansing and healing! This amazing, beautiful Shaman has changed my life! Her powers, readings, encouragement and love are there for you to also receive in your life! Thank you Maria! Thank you for all your help, energy and love to heal on this KrAzY journey of mine! Much love!!!! Carol read more

When you're ready for your life to change, Maria is ready for you. Maria is a loving and gifted teacher, guiding new and veteran students with clarity and a sweet smile. I attend her classes regularly as part of my own practice, but when I needed some extra support I booked a 1:1 reading. It was life-changing. I appreciate Maria's direct approach: I heard exactly what I needed to feel confident with the next steps in my life (a completely new high-level job). Even months later I can see the changes that she talked about. All her guidance comes from a place of love and wanting the best for me, and everyone. I'm so grateful to her and her blessings! read more

I have been going to Maria for Tarot readings and other services for over a year and a half now. Each time, I am absolutely astonished at the clarity and overall light heartedness I feel when I leave her. Not only are her readings extremely accurate to whatever situation I'm going through, her Sound Healing classes and Hypnotherapy have been surprisingly therapeutic as well. As open as I am to 'alternative healing', I must admit I was a bit skeptical at first when it came to Hypnotherapy for the simple fact, I didn't think I could be put under. I am pleased to announce I was absolutely wrong! Not only did I get immense insight, the things I saw and learned have stayed with me.... propelling me to a more fulfilled future. I absolutely recommend going to Maria Haswell, for any and all of her services. She is one of a kind, and the love and tenderness she puts into her work is absolutely apparent. read more

Discovering this center was a gift from the universe. I am truly so grateful for the impact it has and continues to have on my life. I decided to check this place out in January 2018. I saw a listing online for a Spiritual Circle on Thurs and figured it may be nice to check out. With the year just starting I figured if nothing else it will be an interesting way to start the new year I invited a friend and we both fell in love! 8 months later we are still attending spiritual circle. We try to make it every week. We have brought various friends along and they have found it to be insightful as well. I have also completed her 5 Luminary Activation classes .. which are AMAZING! I highly recommend them! Maria who runs the center is beyond words. She has such a friendly, warm and bubbly energy. The ways she communicates and leads her classes is inspiring. You never feel like just a student or guest. She connects with everyone in a special way I truly feel Maria has become a huge mentor towards my spiritual development. I also see her as an incredible role model of what a great spiritual teacher and leader looks like. She has so many talents, knowledge and experience that is admirable. Visit this center, really give it a try! You may find a piece of your heart you never knew was missing #Thankful for my tribe. This place brings light to my life! read more

I initially went to Maria for a reading but now (without hesitation) I try to go to any class, healing, mediation, etc that she offers. Whenever I am looking for peace and clarity I know exactly where I need to go. I always leave her studio feeling renewed, positive and full of life. All my burdens diminished. She does wonders for my life and my families lives. My mother, sister, brother in law and wife have went to her and all had amazing experiences. Not only I but my sister and wife go to her and her classes on a regular basis. She is LOVED!! To me Maria is perfect but she still continues to improve herself and her practice. Not sure how much better she can become because she so beyond amazing already. There are no words to express how great she is. Maria is the warmest, genuine, loving being I know. Best of all, all her healings come from a place of God. She is a gift from God. (10 stars). read more

I'm giving Maria Haswell 5 stars simply because she deserves it. I have been getting intuitive, tarot and medium readings from Maria for 4 years. Maria is fantastic as what she does, no question about it. Her readings are always accurate and provide me with incite to situations I may be questioning in my life. She can tell me about things happening in my life before I even get a chance to ask her to address them, which confirms time and time again that Maria's intuitive abilities are very strong. Maria is straight forward and to the point in her readings, meaning that she will not beat around the bush or candy coat any situation. You can trust that she is providing you with accurate information, no matter what the situation. Last year, Maria did a special tarot card reading for me which reflects the coming 12 months. For December, I had the Wisdom card which was indicating that I was going back to school. I laughed and said 'yea right, that HAS to be wrong, I hate school.' In May, I passed my first Psychology class, which I enrolled for at the end of December. My point is that if something doesn't make sense at the time of the reading, it will at some point. Be patient and open minded. My mom, a few friends and myself have had medium readings from Maria as well. We all agree that Maria's ability to speak to those who have passed over is absolutely incredible. I have personally been able to communicate with my father and my aunt through Maria. It really gave me a sense of closure to be able to communicate the things I wasn't able to before they passed. Maria was telling me things about myself and my passed relatives that only they or myself would know, which again, provides confirmation to me that she has a true connection. Her medium readings are very healing in itself by providing you with closure and the comfort in knowing your loved one is safe. Maria is a very warm, welcoming, caring and nurturing person who I highly recommend to anyone who is interested in having a reading. read more

I had looked for a teacher to guide me connecting with a deceased loved one for few years. Finally, I found Maria!! She was introduced by my very good friend, Karleen. She told me that Maria was very good in connecting the spirit world. And she was a very professional and honest medium and teacher/coach. Therefore, I went online and visited her website. I found out that not only she is a talented medium, but also an intuitive tarot reader, hypnotherapist, Reiki and medium instructor. Therefore, I signed up the classes and attended for weeks. I was impressed how Maria was so patience and knowledgeable to lead her classes. I am very glad that I attended the classes and practiced what she told me to do in order to strengthening my skills and become more spiritual. I love her!!!! YES, I highly recommend her to people who seek for spiritual needs and/or guides!!!! read more

I've had readings from a number of people over the years, and Maria is easily one of the best I've experienced. I've had several readings and some healings from her, as well as some classes on Munay Ki (check out her web site if you're interested; very empowering) and all were excellent. I've referred a few friends to her, too, and the feedback has been equally good. Understand this: no psychic is always right all of the time, but Maria gets closer than any other I've been to. She's also a gifted healer - some work she did on some emotional issues I was holding on to helped me let them go and make changes I hadn't been able to do before. What's also nice about Maria is her warmth, sincerity, and lack of ego-issues. I noted the one negative review below, and found it interesting - from what I've seen, if Maria hadn't been able to provide that person with what she (client) considered valuable and accurate insights, I wonder if she said anything at the time to her? Because one of my favorite things about Maria is that she is extremely ethical, and I know she would have offered the money back on the spot. Bottom line: Maria is well worth seeing if you have need of the kinds of services she offers. P.S., Check out the filtered reviews too, scroll down and find the sort of faint gray "filtered reviews" on the left. More enthusiastic reviews of Maria...I feel validated...and slightly redundant :)) read more

I hired Maria for a party I was hosting last week and wasn't sure what to expect or how everyone would respond but I have to say the whole experience was wonderful. Maria is so kind and professional, she really took time to make sure all of my questions were answered and listened when I was responding. Her reading was clear and honest, I didn't ever feel like she was trying to fish for information, she just told us what she saw and felt and it all made sense. She made sure that everyone in my party got an individual reading and got all of our questions answered. The phrase repeated over and over again by each of my guests was, "She nailed it!" She really is a sincere and legit person. I came away from that experience feeling so renewed and so happy, like the weight of all my worries and curiosities had been lifted and I had a new direction to focus on. I have been following her advice and feedback and every day since my reading has been happy and positive. Everyone in my party had similar experiences and now I can't wait to go back and see her again for even more inspiration! Certainly worth every penny! read more

Truly AMAZING! I have not always been "open" to the idea of being able to improve our health by asking The Universe, but I have started to educate myself by reading lots and lots of books and documentation on the subject. I didn't know what to expect when I went for my Reconnective Healing session with Maria, and she had no idea what was going on with me. When I left, I didn't feel dramatically different and wondered if I made a mistake by trying this. The next day, I woke up and realized that the pain I had endured for months (due to prior surgeries) was completely gone! I also experienced an indescribable feeling of well being! I would not say this if it was not true! I certainly don't have any explanation for it. But it was... truly amazing! I can't wait for a follow up session...NOW I truly believe! read more

Maria is a nice lady, but I did not feel I was given any more awareness or insight that I already had. I went in with an open mind, and was open to the fact that the $125/hour in the least would give me an hour to talk to a kind person. She means wells, but i did not feel a psychic awareness concerning my life. There were things that we reached for that she "saw" in her mind like cars, cigarettes, a pendant ... a J. (neither cars nor cigarettes or the pendant rang ANY bells. Pendants seem a generic stereotypical item to "see". ) Yes, a J was the initial letter of my daughters birth month. It was like a relief to find SOME connection. I wanted to know deeper things like what was my deceased husband trying to tell me in the four to five days of trying to contact me, which began with him sitting at the end of my bed, or the purple blotches he kept pointing to on the ceiling about our childrens' pictures, or what he was trying to tell his friend regarding me that he appeared in a dream to the next day. Finally, it culminated in me hearing his full name repeated twice on the intercom of deceased daughters previous elementary school as I was walking by one day. I gained no insight. She did tell me "What you first feel is probably what they are trying to communicate." :P encouraging but not too insightful. I like Maria. She seems to be a nice cheerful person. But after the insight that she comes from the business world, I just left wondering if this is not just another business venture for her. I give her two stars for being nice and personable. I really want to find someone who can help me understand the message my husband got 4 - 5 days to try to deliver. Maybe he'll get another "pass" in 3 more years. :) If this is what being a psychic is and people are wiling to pay, I should seriously look into this as a profession. Though it seems Maria has tweaked her website since I saw her, and is advertising that she is more of a spiritual guide and life coach. Much better description. read more

Maria is the real deal. If you are on the fence about seeing her, just do it! You'll be glad you did. I found Maria via the internet a few years ago and have now had many readings from her as well as Reconnective Healings. The readings have changed my life so much and I've referred several friends to her - all of whom are now in love with her. Maria has a special gift and I'm so thankful that I connected with her and that she lives here in the Bay Area. I've had readings from other readers and I can honestly say, that while those other readings weren't bad, none of them compare to Maria. Seriously. I can't recommend her enough. She holds her readings and the Reconnective Healing sessions at her nice studio in Danville. The room is very colorful & the energy of the entire facility is so peaceful & welcoming. It's a really special place. read more

My visit with Maria exceeded my expectations. My sister recently passed and I mentioned nothing to her before meeting her. When I arrived she was very warm and had such a positive energy about her. She was excited to tell me that my sister was even more excited to talk to me...she was able to tell me things that nobody would know about and I was astounded and elated by the medium reading. It put me on cloud 9 and made me feel so much better...I cannot wait to visit Maria again. :) read more

I was never one to go for a tarot reading, but after my visit with Maria two weeks ago, I WILL definitely come back to get a reading done with her again!! She is simply AMAZING. My reading itself was really thorough, and I was really surprised with how the cards showed my current situation(s), and how it also offered as a guide on what I should do to better handle them. The cards offered so much insight on what I should be doing career-wise and what I'd be most happy doing. Everything was so RIGHT ON! I left feeling validated, with a very open mind and a new attitude on life. Thank you Maria! read more

I had Maria give me a couple Tarot readings and I was amazed. Somehow everything she said was accurate to T. On both encounters she was very warm and optimistic and really gave great insight. She definitely has an amazing gift and I'm sure I'll be coming back for another reading. Thanks Maria! read more

I am trying to save my review and it keeps disappearing from the web. I don't understand why. Please keep it posted, Kathryn I went to see Maria yesterday for mediumship session Maria is a very attractive, warm and positive person. And I was amazed about the things she told me. She talked to my deceased grandparents and made it a very pleasant, exiting event. I never experienced anything like that before. She told me the facts that only my grandparents and my family knew. Even before I came to see her she was already prepared with information about me (we never met before) and what was going on in my life. Maria didn't ask me about anything, she was the one who told me amazingly accurate things about my family and myself. I was so exited to talk to my grandmother through Maria. It really felt like I talked to my grandmother. I will definitely recommend Maria to anybody who wants to reconnect with their deceased loved ones and to those who need spiritual guidance and piece and clarity in life. It is a great experience. I already recommended Maria to my friend. And she is planning to go. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARIA!!! I will come back again. read more

Today I met with Maria. It was my first time ever doing a reading. She was so wonderful, made me feel so relaxed, and made the experience fun and comfortable! I went in there asking questions about my career, when in reality the only thing on my mind was my relationship status. She then changed the subject to my relationship not even knowing that was what was really on my mind and having the most stress over! I would love to see Maria again and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! read more

I have had the pleasure of a couple of readings with Maria and she came through with unbelievably specific information that I could not rationalize away. I've also taken a class from her and highly recommend her. She is one of those very kind souls out there that are really doing work that helps enlighten the planet. read more

This was my 4th time seeing Maria. I took my mother to see her to reconnect with my sister after her passing a year & a half ago. My sister also saw and adored Maria, so she was an obvious choice for us. She has such honest insight and her intentions are so unselfish and giving. She is truly one if the lightest & kindest spirited persons I have ever had the pleasure to meet. And this little lady is SPOT ON with her readings. You always come away with answers, and a better feeling within yourself. I also took one of her Mediumship classes - what a life changing experience! Her method of teaching, always coming from a place of love and peace has been a lesson of a lifetime. Maria is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Love her! :o) read more

I took a Mediumship class with Maria that far exceeded my expectations. In just a few weeks, our group was able to connect with deceased loved ones, increase our intuition, connect with spirit guides and develop a meditation practice. She is a powerful medium, psychic and teacher. She teaches and gives readings with love, ethics, and professionalism. She brought out hidden talents in everyone in the group. I was amazed! read more

I have returned to Maria three time over the past several years. It is always an enlightening experience. She delivers accurate knowledge of what is going on in my life and offers much insight. She is truly gifted! read more

Having a reading from Maria is a life changing event. In one hour, she tells you what a counselor would take years to advise you to do. Because it is truly coming from your spirit guides, she knows what to tell us. I feel 100% positive my dad watches over me. She knew his name and how he passed and routines my baby and I do that you can't possibly know by a background check. I trust her completely. Very annoying that someone below gave her low ratings. Maria would have fixed it right on the spot and addressed the issue. read more

Maria is literally a breath of fresh air. When life gives you too many balls to juggle at once, Maria can give you clarity and a new perspective that relieves any stress or worry you may have been experiencing. I also really enjoy her sound healing meditation classes and feel renewed after each class. She is amazing! Highest recommendation! read more

Had a great experience and reading with Maria. She was easy to connect with and has great insights and inspiration to answer all my questions. Will be back! read more

I've been to maria about 3 times already since i moved out here in may. I went to another psychic before finding Maria and left feeling put down and worse than when i went in. However. with Maria she was so nice and accommodating! She welcomed me in, worked around my difficult schedule, and gave me a reading that gave me chills. A few things she has said have already happened in my life and I'm eager to see if the other things she has advised me on will happen as well. I know that not all psychics are accurate, but so far she has been right on the money. She is reasonably priced and even though your readings don't change for 6 months, i go back every month just because of how comforting she is with her readings and incites. She will tell you good and bad about what you may or may not want to hear but does not do it in a degrading way like the other psychic had previously done. definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reading. she's wonderful. read more

This was the first tarot card reading I had ever had, and Maria could not have been more personable, professional, and insightful. She led me through the process with ease and patience, and helped guide me to a deeper understanding of the path I was taking in life. I highly recommend Maria for those seeking clarification and guidance in their lives - she truly has a gift and uses it with her clients in the most productive and positive manner possible. read more

I have to be honest about my experience, & I wanted to wait for a while before I wrote a review just to make sure I still felt the same & I do. This was the most uncomfortable sitting/reading I have ever had. I actually cried when I got home because I felt as though I may have just set a light to $125 & it wouldn't have been any different. I felt like Maria had no intuition/guidance at any point of my 1 hour session. She would ask me a lot of questions,( I was under the impression that was not suppose to happen) she would also then try to mention something about someone who was 'coming through', but yet it was as if it was being made up as she went along, as there was no actual 'message' she would just kind of come to a full stop, like she was really struggling to go anywhere with it & it just all felt very pointless. I didn't feel good about anything she told me(which was hardly anything) & hand on my heart I couldn't get out of there any faster. I didn't go there with any expectations, just an open mind like I have always done during all my years of readings/sittings, but I really felt I had made a mistake booking in for this appointment. read more

I have seen psychics most of my life. She is beyond incredible! Accurate and so helpful in guiding in the right direction. Recommend her to anyone interested in improving your life!! read more

I went to Maria yesterday for a medium reading. This was a birthday gift from my husband. She was amazing. Befor I had even sat down she had written almost an entire page full of information from spirits that were there to talk to me. She was spot on for most everything and even gave me a few things to ponder when I got home. It gave me great peace to know my family is still with me all the time. I'd recomend her to anyone who even has a curiosity. I'll be back for sure. read more

I've had several readings from Maria, and each has been filled with connections with loved ones who have transitioned, intuition that she taps in to with great accuracy, and her nurturing support. What I especially appreciate is that she has helped me learn to tap in to my own intuition and trust myself, so that I can be a better guide in my own life. In addition, I've had several reconnective healings with Maria with great results each time, and I had the reconnection two years ago, which was one of the most meaningful experiences in my life. I noticed immediate changes for the better at work (assistance in the way of additional staff that came out of nowhere, greater personal capacity to do my job well) as well as stronger connections with friends and family, and a much more grounded approach to life in general. What struck me immediately about Maria is her lack of "ego." In spite of having these extraordinary gifts and capabilities, she is completely down to earth and incredibly kind hearted. I feel so grateful that she is so close by - I would gladly travel a great distance to receive a session with her. read more

Maria is someone who you have an instant comfort with, she is welcoming and warm. I have had several appointments with Maria, and every time she has been so accurate. She brings a knowledge and insight to her readings, and doesn't sugar coat anything. Her honesty is given in a caring way, and really helps you see things clearly and helps you open your mind and heart to what is being said. There is a sense of peace after talking to her. I have sent several people to her, and have several more lining up to make appointments with her. Her gift should be shared with everyone, and you will leave your appointment with a clarity you didn't have before. She is one you will never regret going to see. I have also taken a class from her, and that experience is one I have truly embraced and learned life lessons from. Highly recommend making an appointment or taking a class from Maria!!!! read more

A beautiful "Medium" experience! My partner passed on unexpectedly 19 months ago today. I had a session with Maria a month or so ago. She's caring and compasionate. Without a doubt, Maria helped me to talk with my partner. 100% certain that it was him! I have shared her information with two others that are interested in talking with a Medium. Do not think twice about working with Maria. She's the real deal! Thank you, Maria. I look forward to talking with you again soon. read more

I'm a very skeptical person so I do my best to debunk the authenticity of people performing readings. In the last year I've had several readings from Maria and with almost every one I experienced chills when I knew she was telling me things she couldn't possibly know through any typical means. Her readings are very accurate and I cannot wait to get more readings from her in the future. read more
