Promoting Health and Wellness

Maria Talamante-Pohlmann has been working as a mental health professional

since 1997. As a Certified Yoga Instructor she utilizes the mind, breath and

body connect to help her clients work through stress, grief and trauma. In

addition to her practice she concentrates on helping young athletes connect

mentally to their body to help achieve their ultimate goals.

She has been working in the clinical field with those seeking a healthier

relationship with themselves, their self image and their loved ones since then.

Maria’s clients appreciate the relaxed and comfortable environment of her

Gilbert office and the availability of online sessions. Many clients are referred to

Maria for her concentration with women’s issues, teenagers/family relationships,

anxiety, athletic performance and enhancement. When we focus on what is

“wrong we may just miss what is going “right;” our purpose, our meaning. You

may feel stuck if your intent is to rid yourself of issues and problems rather than

glow gently through a process of change and acceptance. She utilizes a

combination of Eastern and Western therapeutic modalities to provide a holistic

approach to healing. She uses the instruction of traditional yoga and yoga

therapy, imagery, visualization, relaxation and meditation to aid in the reduction

of stress, anxiety, depression and negative thought patterns.
