BIOs:
Maria Spears, M.Ed., Certified Professional Life Coach, Progressive Energy Tapping Instructor
http://www.maria-spears.com
Maria Spears is a love and life coach who guides professional women and men to find a deep enduring love with the right partner. After a series of unfulfilling relationships, including a 16 year relationship that ended in divorce, she had to figure out how to clear away lifelong patterns of relationships with the wrong partners. Her recovery from divorce took her down a path of deep self-discovery, during which she decided to complete a life coach certification program, leave a 24 year career in medical research, start her own business and begin working with other women using the specific techniques that helped her to overcome her lifelong relationship patterns. She is now committed to supporting women through the process of letting go of past relationships, breaking free of unconscious relationship patterns and guiding them to discover a new road map to healthy love relationships with the confidence and self-love to find the right partner.
Maria lives in the Chicago metro area and volunteers with organizations that provide services to women going through divorce, surviving domestic violence and cancer. Her life has come full circle from the beginnings of her career when she counseled hundreds of college students on life skills. She is a certified professional life coach and a ProEFTTM practitioner/instructor.
Andrea J. Weisbond, Founder of the Compelling Company, LLC

Motivated by unimaginable loss, Andrea discovered a way to move from a place of suffering and despair to a new life full of love, happiness, and wisdom. She lost her parents and husband in 2 1/2 years. Her husband and Dad both died from cancer, nine months apart. She was grief-stricken, stuck, and unable to move forward.
Eventually, she discovered the power of a mourning ritual. The ritual helped her let go of her relationship with her husband, Brad, to feel more in control of her life and allowed her to move forward. She felt compelled to share what she discovered with others and used her entrepreneurial experience to create tools to help people move forward following a loss in their life.
Currently, she offers healing kits for the loss of a relationship, pet loss, and is testing one for the loss of a loved one. She is also the founder of The Chicago Break-Up Group and The Park Ridge Break-Up Group on meetup.com. She lives in the Chicago metro area with two dogs and a cat, and practices Bikram yoga. Recently, she got engaged and is getting married in August 2020.
