Start your journey to liberation.

True liberation is experienced in community. But it can start with just one connection: with your liberation coach.

Is it time for a change?

What if you could put down all that you are carrying for a moment?

In a space that sees you, centers you, and equips you for what’s next?

With someone who can hold your brilliance, your burnout, your ambition, your uncertainty, and your wisdom all at the same time?

What might become possible?

You might be ready for coaching if:

  • You’re tired of doing it all alone and long for a trusted space to process, plan and move forward with intention.

  • You’re done measuring yourself by grind culture, perfectionism, and productivity, and want to define success on your own authentic terms.

  • You’ve internalized messages about shrinking, staying quiet, being the one to adapt and flex while others make demands - and you’re ready to challenge those stories.

  • You’re holding multitudes - grief, excitement, exhaustion, joy - and need space to process, dream and build your resistance strategy and resilience toolkit without apology.

  • You’re seeking a space where your lived experience is not only acknowledged but centered.

  • You’re ready to invest in yourself - not as a luxury, but as a necessary act of self-love.

Hi, I’m Mariko

Community with other women of color changed the entire trajectory of my life and started my own journey towards liberation from systems that oppress. But in a world where developing relationships of trust with other women of color is rare and gathering in groups of empowering, encouraging, supportive women of color is even rarer, I realized we have to create those opportunities for ourselves. Which is why I launched Your Liberation Coach.

You deserve to be free from all the ways the world holds you back. And you don’t have to go it alone. I am here to walk in the direction of freedom with you. Because, in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.

Coaching, when done through a trauma-informed, culturally grounded lens, becomes more than personal development or self-help. It becomes a way for women of color to practice and plan for resistance and resilience. And maybe even regeneration.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, let’s work together!

What you can expect with me

Systems Analysis

A typical coach helps you “perform better” in a world not built for you.

I help you expand with courage and move through the real world without losing yourself.

Connection

A typical coach sees only the individual.

I honor your interconnectedness to people, your roots, and the earth itself.

Grounding

A typical coach drives towards doing.

I create space for stillness, body wisdom, and healing that makes sustainable action possible.

Clarity

A typical coach focuses on what you say you want.

I support you to go deeper to where your desires meet your values, longings and what truly matters.

Awareness

Typical coaching offers you a blank slate - no advice, no validation or context - just powerful questions.

My kind of coaching honors the reality that marginalized people often don’t need silence but insight, shared knowledge and compassionate counter-narratives to support your liberation.

Empowerment

A typical coach keeps a safe distance - avoiding culture and complexity.

I retain healthy boundaries while bringing my full self to this work because for women of color, healing isn’t just about goals, it’s about being witnessed, affirmed, and empowered to lead - in community.
