Welcome to a new path, the path of your Nawal.

With over 20 years of experience in the fields of psychology and energy training, Maria has  developed a unique approach that combines Mayan practices with a client-centered focus, offering a comprehensive approach for westeners. She holds a Master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology and lives in Guatemala and has traveled extensively to learn ancient ways of knowing, specially in Peru and Guatemala.

Her work integrates creative expressions and meditations to help explore new and fascinating ways to create a path, a nawal path, for your life.  

Sherry Tankersley, PhD, is an experienced somatic clinical psychologist and co-founder of Nawal Pathways. She is certified in transpersonal psychology and psychedelic-assisted therapies, which integrate the spiritual, honor transcendent experiences, and explore meaning for the individual. Her powerful and ongoing journey with the Mayan archetypes began in 2008. She is a certified yoga instructor, and regularly taught yoga and meditation for many years. She integrates these tools to help awaken the potential within our sacred energy centers and find our path toward a fuller, more authentic life. Her own practice and teachings are informed by her life experiences and intuitive guidance, and it is her honor and joy to witness the energetic awakening in those she teaches.
