Maritza McKinney Coaching


You don’t have to keep proving your value.

The trophies can stay on the shelf
while you learn what it means to feel whole without them.



I help those who grew up earning gold stars and straight A’s
find freedom from performance trauma through
neuro-informed, holistic, faith-based coaching.


Yes! This is me! Explore Coaching Options.

what is performance trauma?



Performance trauma happens when your sense of love, safety, or worth was tied to how well you performed


— academically, behaviorally, spiritually, or socially —


especially as a child.


You may not have realized it then, but somewhere along the way, you learned: “If I succeed, I’m accepted. If I fail, I lose love.”


This kind of conditional love creates a deep imprint. Even as an adult, it can shape your nervous system, thoughts, and beliefs.


You may appear successful on the outside,

but inside, you're stuck — afraid to fail, afraid to rest, afraid that you're never enough.


Finally! A name to what I have experienced. I am ready to start coaching.

What Does Anxiety from Performance Trauma Look Like?



It’s not always panic attacks.

It often sounds like this:

“I should be further along by now.”

“If I can just push through this next thing, I’ll finally feel better.”

“I can’t slow down—I’ll fall behind.”

“What if I mess this up?”

“I don’t know who I am if I’m not achieving something.”


It looks like:


Overthinking everything

Feeling behind no matter how much you do

Starting and stopping projects out of fear

Procrastinating important goals

Feeling paralyzed when you're not instantly good at something

Seeking success but never feeling satisfied

Feeling shame for not succeeding like you did in school


This kind of anxiety isn’t random — it’s a nervous system response to a lifetime of needing to prove your worth.


How did you get in my head and heart? Show me my options!

You don't need to perform to be loved.



You were created to rest in God’s love—not earn it.


Through Scripture-based, neuroscience-informed coaching, I’ll help you heal from the pressure to perform and find peace in your mind, body, and spirit.


You may already know this truth in your head.

You believe God loves you unconditionally.


But your body still holds the fear.


Your nervous system, shaped by years of striving to stay safe and accepted, hasn’t caught up yet.


That’s why healing takes more than just willpower or mindset work. Together, we’ll gently retrain your body to feel safe resting in love—so peace becomes your new normal, not just a passing thought.
