I am Maria Haswell

I'm a Filipino American Mystic with over 28+ years of experience in diverse healing modalities. My profound journey into healing and spirituality spans across Peru, Bolivia, and my native Philippines, where I was initiated into sacred shamanic practices. These rich traditions have deeply shaped my work and approach, allowing me to connect with spirit, nature, and universal energy authentically.

WHO I AM

 

I'm the founder and owner of Kapwa Wellness, a sacred space dedicated to serving our community. Our vision is to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home — a place that nurtures belonging, connection, and shared healing. At Kapwa Wellness, we cultivate a space for relaxation, rejuvenation, and reconnecting with your true self.

​

We foster a spirit of compassion, empathy, and mutual support, honoring our collective journey toward wellness and transformation. Through a variety of classes, events, and services, we support both personal growth and community evolution, creating opportunities for collective awakening and empowerment.

​

My approach combines my rich cultural heritage, extensive spiritual practice, and a deep belief that transformation begins within. I’m here to remind you of your innate worth and to help you uncover the love, strength, and authenticity that already reside within you.

MY EARLY LIFE

Born in the Philippines as the youngest of five, I moved to the U.S. at age 7 and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, on the ancestral lands of the Ramaytush Ohlone people, where I still reside today.

​

As a child, I heard voices and sensed spirits, angels, and guides reaching out to me — though I spent many years blocking those messages, often told I was “crazy” or “wrong.” It wasn’t until later in life that I embraced my gifts fully, choosing to pursue this path with love and purpose. Over the past 28+ years, I’ve explored a wide range of healing, teaching, and spiritual practices, all of which I now integrate into my work with clients.

​

THE JOURNEY
After losing my father suddenly in 1996, my spiritual journey truly began. With an open heart, I started connecting with loved ones and guides on a deeper level. That experience opened the door to communicating with angels, spirits, and my own intuition — guiding me to serve others with compassion and authenticity.

DIVINELY GUIDED

 

My life is a beautiful journey of growth, surprises, and endless lessons — and I LOVE every moment of it! Each day unfolds in new and amazing ways, and I’m grateful for all the twists and turns that have brought me here. I believe life is a constant dance of evolution, and I see myself both as a teacher and a lifelong student of this incredible experience.

​

Guided by my highest calling, I’ve dedicated myself to helping others unlock their true potential. Over the years, I’ve learned many healing and teaching methods, always with the intention to serve with integrity, inspiration, and honesty. Working with my clients in a sacred, intimate space fills me with joy — because I know transformation and enlightenment are possible for everyone.

​

WHAT I BELIEVE

 

I believe that unconditional love starts within. My mission is to help you see the beauty of who you truly are — embracing your flaws and transforming them into your greatest strengths. You are a sacred expression of love, and your life is a unique gift to share with the world.

​

My purpose is to remind you of your innate worth and help you fall in love with yourself and life again. I see LOVE in your eyes — because that’s what YOU are: Love incarnate.

​

So, take my hand and step into the unknown, into the flow of life’s imperfection and beauty. Together, we can shed old beliefs, embrace change, and free yourself from the past — to discover the authentic, radiant LIFE that’s always been inside you.
