Meditation Monday

A 3rd generation hairdresser and now Transformational Hair Therapist; The Visionary and Mystic at The House of Metamorphosis, Mariana has been in and out of the commercial hairdressing industry for 4 decades and cultivated a unique brand that’s attracted many people from various walks of life.

Mariana had her first salon in Middle Park of Melbourne, called United Artists, where she established her signature in the industry and became very quickly recognised for her creative eye and enthusiasm to create masterpieces that walked many a cat walk and were captured by many a camera.

In 1999, Mariana realised that she wanted something more and decided to sell her commercial salon. What she truly wanted was to deepen her interaction with her clients, and to provide extra care and attention to meet them in a more profound authentic way.

In order to do this, Mariana needed to expand her toolkit as what she had learned as a hairdresser was not nearly enough to do what she felt called to do.

Mariana delved deep into a Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling at The Phoenix institute in 2006. She explored NLP, Hypnotherapy, Breath Work, Personal Training, Diet & Nutrition, Art Therapy and Dance… Just to name a few tools she collected along the way. These tools began to inform her processes with her clients and she started developing a new perspective with her work to better meet her clients in a more holistic sense.

Her passion for hair never evaporated, it simply transformed into a deeper experience. In 2008, Mariana created Hair Therapy by M. An experience for clients with their authentic reflection. The tools were slowly coming together, and by 2010, she was running private sessions with her clients in Transformation.

Her passion for working with people and aligning them to their truth using the varied modalities she has developed over the years, has seen her birth House of Metamorphosis, and the Evolve Curriculum™to begin sharing with her industry.

Her pathway now is to lead hairdressers that see the future of the industry through this process, as an opportunity for them to Evolve ™and finally merge interpersonal relating with professional transformative magic, helping each hairdressing to support and align their clients to their authentic truth.
