Hi, I’m María Elena Oreamuno Montano, though many people know me as Mari Om. I was born in Costa Rica, a vibrant green country with no military, and Miami has been my second home since I was very young. Today, I live here, happily married, building a life rooted in wellness and purpose.

I’m a certified health coach and holistic wellness guide, and for over a decade I’ve supported individuals who want to feel better in their bodies, reconnect with their energy, and live with greater presence, vitality, and purpose.

My professional path has been deeply interdisciplinary. I began my studies in Psychology at the University of Belgrano in Argentina, where I developed a foundation in psychoanalytic thought. I later continued my education in Costa Rica with a humanistic approach at the Central American University of Social Sciences (UCACIS), and ultimately earned my degree in Clinical Psychology from Universidad Latina de Costa Rica, with a cognitive-behavioral orientation.

As part of my academic work, I completed a thesis focused on Sports Psychology, exploring the powerful connection between mindset, performance, discipline, and well-being in active individuals and athletes.

Over the years, I came to understand that true well-being cannot be approached from the mind alone. The body, movement, nutrition, and lifestyle are essential pillars of lasting transformation. That’s why I became a certified Health Coach through the Primal Health Coach Institute in Miami, Florida, and also hold certifications in Hatha Yoga and Mindfulness Coaching.
