About María José

One decade of study and listening, three decades of learning.

María José Vergara

Married for thirty one years and mother to five children, my family has been my greatest teacher. When time allowed, I returned to study, first with specialised courses in psychology and human behaviour, and then with Semiología de la Vida Cotidiana, which I studied for five years in all its levels.

Today I see clients in my consultation room and lead SVC courses. I keep deepening my practice with leading voices in the field, Susan David's Emotional Agility, Gonzalo Zubieta's Flow Inside Out, Nazareth Castellanos' The Brain as an Ally, and I'm part of Natalia Ruiz Soto's Re para Hoy community.

I am a certified teacher of MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn, through Brown University and the Nirakara Institute.
