Listen to My Podcast!

Welcome !

I equip folks with the tools to survive through the journey the unknown and unexpected, and to navigate it like a boss! I create opportunities for individuals, groups, small business owners, and those working in corporate entities to obtain peace of mind, and to find joy and clarity while dealing with everyday reality. As a result of working with me, my client Tribe members are better prepared to cope and process life changes, they are more confident and ready to accept growth and change, and are able to implement self-care practices. My client Tribe members are able to stand stronger in their personal power which positively affects the people that they serve. I enjoy erasing the stigma of the “darkness and unknown”, and transmuting that same darkness into light, or as I call it, “turning BS into glitter”!

Aromatherapy is a type of healing modality that is close to my heart. I took an Aromatherapy Certification course a few years ago, and I created this product for those who need a moment, Any moment….Because life is like that sometimes.

When we have feelings or thoughts of worry, aggravation, anxiety, and stress, it can create an physical response. These responses can vary, but common ones may feel like there’s a heavy weight on the chest, sweating, or other uncomfortable physical responses. I believe in the concept of Mind-Body Connection, that connects the health of the mind to the health of the body. I also attribute spiritual health to this connection as well.

This 3-pack of aromatherapy tubes are designed to uplift the mind, and spirit to help relieve the body of any physical responses caused by these feelings or thoughts. You can keep all three for your home, car, or bag, or you can share them with those in your household! You will receive 3 individual, easy to carry aromatherapy inhalers with a proprietary blend of mint, citrus and herb. I created this blend with the intention that all oils combined are designed to uplift, assist with respiratory health, and to calm the mind. Each tube also includes a surprise charged crystal inside to assist with spiritual health as well!

Inhale, and exhale. You are about to change the game with how you deal with stressful moments.

About Maria

As Featured In








Are you struggling with accountability, consistency, or with building confidence to gain clarity? If so, you’ve landed on the right site. I’m Maria Gates, creator of Spiritual Homegirl, a platform that champions embracing our authentic selves to create progress and tangible results in the lives of women that are ready for change but simply don’t know how (or where) to start.
In short, I equip you with the tools to navigate through the journey of the unknown and unexpected like a BOSS.
I understand how lonely, frustrating and overwhelming it can be to have a deep, burning desire in your heart to evolve into an elevated version of ourselves…but there’s no one out there that “gets it” enough that you can trust to help you evolve within your true self.
But don’t fret! I got your back.
It all started with a podcast…
In 2016, the Spiritual Homegirl Podcast made its way onto the podcasting airwaves with a raw, “no nonsense” delivery. To date, there hundreds of hours of podcast episodes with over tens of thousands of plays, which is a blessing! As I continued to gain experience and competencies off-air through my certifications in Community Counseling, Peer Support Specialist, Meditation Teaching, and Aromatherapy, I wanted to expand on how Spiritual Homegirl dismantles the stigma of “the unknown”, as it is shown to us as a burden to be feared, instead of a conquerable challenge.
The Spiritual Homegirl Podcast continues to stream on all podcast streaming platforms as it has expanded to include books, aromatherapy products, customized meditation guides, individual and group coaching, and spiritually expressive clothing to empower women as they navigate through the peaks and valleys of their experience to find authentic happiness and serenity.
If only we were guided to remember our power in our not-so-brightest moments. That’s why I am here to remind you of that. We will fight through the trenches and celebrate the triumphs, together.
