Helping accomplished women clarify the next chapter of their leadership, influence, and work.
For many successful women, midlife brings a moment of reflection.
After decades of building businesses, careers, and expertise, there is often a natural desire to step back and consider a larger question:
What do I want the next chapter of my life and work to look like?
Some women want to expand their influence.
Some want to reposition their expertise.
Others want to reshape their work around deeper priorities.
What they share is experience, perspective, and a desire to approach the next phase of life with intention.
This advisory practice was created for that moment.
Maria Fontana brings more than three decades of entrepreneurial experience and integrative healing certifications to her advisory work.
She began her career behind a salon chair as a hairstylist and went on to build and operate multiple successful service and online businesses and is a best selling author.
Over the years she developed a reputation for building loyal clientele, strong teams, and enduring businesses through many reinventions with soul.
Today Maria works privately with female midlife leaders, founders, and experts who are thinking carefully about the next phase of their work and influence.
Her advisory work focuses on helping accomplished women refine their direction, strengthen their authority, and translate decades of experience into meaningful leadership, happiness and business opportunities.

Maria’s advisory work is designed for a small number of accomplished women in midlife who are thoughtfully considering the next phase of their leadership, influence, or professional life.
Her clients are typically founders, experts, and established leaders who have already built meaningful success and are now evaluating how they want the next chapter of their work to unfold.
They value clear thinking, experienced perspective, intuition and strategic guidance as they shape what comes next.
This work is not designed for early-stage entrepreneurs or those seeking step-by-step business coaching.
