IT’S TIME TO

REPLACE

It’s time to replace guesswork and overwhelm for the support of an expert with a proven process to decant your brain + passion into a unique online course or coaching program. (Hey hola! That’s exactly what I do!)


If that sounds like exactly what you want but what you’ve been struggling to create, stick with me.

¡Hola! I’m Mariana, your resident course expert, taco lover, and award winning instructional designer

If you are passionate about your message, love to educate, and enjoy good food, you are my people. My mission is very simple: to help you amplify your impact by creating the best learning experience for your clients.

Through my 15+ years of experience, I’ve collaborated with dozens of experts from different fields, backgrounds and cultures including coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, academic institutions and 7-figure business owners.

My approach to course design will always advocate for a learner-first curriculum while honouring and reflecting your interdisciplinary knowledge, intersectional lens, and innovative approach to your industry.

In their words

“Launching the founding round was the easiest and most relaxed launch I’ve ever done because I had such strong belief in the offer.”

Being able to talk through my ideas and knowledge with someone who’s an expert instructional designer was like some kind of weird therapy.

She sees gaps and opportunities that would otherwise be missed. Her personality and values are fierce. And she brings a diversity and inclusivity approach to her work. Honestly, our calls felt like fog clearing.

Position yourself powerfully + potently with a signature program your ideal students adore

Does this sound familiar?

  • Perhaps you, like most of our clients, have already spent up to 5-figures in ‘courses about courses’ that only really talk about marketing and sales (and let’s be real, you’ve got that part covered!).

  • I bet you’ve been told that ‘building a course it’s so easy!’ So you spend hours staring at a blank Google Doc thinking that, in fact, translating your brilliance into a compelling curriculum it’s not really your zone of genius (but it is mine!).

  • Maybe you tell yourself ‘if I only set my mind to it, I could do it on my own’. And you are right, you could absolutely DIY, but do you really want to spend dozens of hours trying to figure it out and still be left with guesswork and headaches? (don’t worry, I’m a professional headache-whisperer)

Imagine how much more you would love making your course if you didn’t have to struggle along the way.

Think about the myriad of joyful things you could do with your time if you just remove the overwhelm from the entire process. (This is the part where you book your call to work together.)

Create a one-of-a-kind course that reflects you

If you are here it’s because you want the right kind of support from an expert that understands your vision: a transformational program that doesn’t land in the course graveyard –and delivers remarkable results, and turns your students into ambassadors, and doesn’t leave your audience in cognitive overload…

We got you ;) That’s why we do things differently here. We focus on the learning principles that matter most.

CURRICULUM

Depth over breadth

A premium course is about meeting them where they are, while providing not only the what and how, but why we learn.

CONTEXT

Outcome over optics

A transformative course avoids never ending lessons, worksheets and PDFs for the sake of ‘more is more’ and highlights implementation to meet the end goal of the program.

CULTURE

Connection over content

True lasting learning happens during feedback and human connection. A highly engaging curriculum pays attention to their motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) and builds in space for horizontal and vertical interaction and feedback.

here’s how our work together looks like

Course design: the process

STEP 1

Pre-work

To fully understand your vision and prepare for our first call, I’ll send you a short intake form (don’t worry, this is the only time you will have ‘homework’).

STEP 2

Weekly Design Calls

You bring the brilliance, I’ll bring the heat and we meet on Zoom to curate your compelling curriculum together.

STEP 3

Book of Brilliance

After our last call you will receive a detailed document with everything we designed to move forward with your course production process.

In their words

“I registered the Micro-launch Method® as an official trademark and was able to start selling that course way faster than I would have if I had been on my own.”

When you’re too close to your business, it’s difficult to see the woods from the trees.

So when I met Mariana, the clouds literally opened! Yeah, angelic chorus and all!

In their words

“Mariana helped me articulate my beliefs. She took my disorganized jumble of thoughts and pulled out threads like interculturalism and ethics — and everything just clicked.”

Everything was a bit of a jumble inside me. But after working with Mariana I knew I was going to deliver something that people would actually benefit from.

Now I'm actually going to be able to build a business that I've always dreamt of. I’ve found my dream job, and it feels so good.

    VIP track: Virtual $8,000 USD / In-person (Amsterdam) $10,000 USD

  • No. This is a co-creation process. You are the subject expert in your field, and I bring my 15+ years of experience in course + curriculum creation to make the magic happen. We meet up on Zoom and work on your curriculum together.

  • Of course! Everything we create together will fit into your learning ecosystem. Whether we optimize the one you already have or we use it as a base for the next one, your previous teaching-learning courses and products will serve as a base for our work together.

  • We write it together. Remember, you are the subject expert in your field. I’m there to ask #allthequestions and pull the relevant information from your brain to create a revolutionary, engaging, easy-to-implement curriculum.

  • I am as invested in your program and the success of your students as you are, therefore any extra time needed to complete your premium curriculum that we may need is already considered in your package fee.

  • A certificate program provides instruction, training and individualized assessment (non-degree granted) in a specialty area of practice or set of skills. This is an excellent business model for established coaches, consultants and service-based agencies who want to increase their impact + revenue without losing the close relationship with their clients/students. If you have a proven process or a successful digital product you can expand your business by training + certifying people in your own method. Think how Gallup certifies their coaches or how platforms like Canva offer training tracks to become certified advisors.

    A signature course is a shorter container where powerful + focused learning happens minus the assessment/individualized feedback component. There are usually no prerequisites to join and no certificate is extended at completion.

  • My focus is entirely on content/curriculum creation + learning/engagement strategies. While we can talk about what course platform would be a good fit for you, my services do not provide tech support.

  • Yes. I believe in decolonizing my business, therefore payment plans are always available and they do not increase the price of the service.

  • No worries! We will book our weekly calls on a day and time that work for both of us.

  • I have 2 toddlers at home with me that are my priority, so my availability is truly limited. I’d love to work with you, the sooner you find a spot in the calendar, the better.
