Maria SoetersMaria Soeters
Corporate Trainer
Based in 
The Netherlands

Very often we don’t learn how we can be successful in our love life since we are not taught this in school and very few learn the right skills from their parents. And then we suffer and think we are not meant for love while actually we just lack knowledge about the opposite sex, dating, relationships, and our own role in this.

Maria struggled a lot herself in her dating life before Mars Venus coaching came into her life so it is Maria’s passion now to help women find love and build a happy, healthy, and sparkling relationship with the right man.

She comes from an entrepreneurial family and has been self-employed since she was 22 years old. She has a bachelor’s in Media and Entertainment Management and took a lot of marketing & sales courses, what helped her build her online presence as a Mars Venus coach.

Maria is also an NLP coach. She combines the knowledge of Gender Intelligence with understanding the individual on a deeper level for the best results for her clients.
