Welcome to SW Daily Dazzle – Your Go-To Resource for Social Work & Healthcare Professionals

 

Hi, I’m Maria – a dedicated mom, seasoned Social Worker, and certified coach. My journey has been one of passion, perseverance, and a deep commitment to helping others thrive, both in their professional and personal lives.

After completing my Social Work degree in Portugal, I began my career helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult challenges. My path then led me to the UK, where I explored roles outside of social work, including working as a restaurant host and as airline ground crew. These experiences were valuable, but my calling remained in Social Work, and I quickly transitioned back into the field.

Today, I specialize in supporting teenagers and their families, helping them overcome educational, health, and personal obstacles to build resilience. I understand firsthand the emotional demands of this profession, which is why I’ve expanded my role as a coach to help fellow Social Workers and healthcare professionals not only navigate their careers but also prioritize their self-care.

At SW Daily Dazzle, we offer much more than just resources. We provide a community and practical tools for professionals in social work and healthcare to achieve balance, avoid burnout, and create sustainable success. Whether you're just starting your career or are a seasoned expert, we’re here to guide you every step of the way with actionable advice, empowering stories, and proven strategies that keep you moving forward.

Thank you for being a part of SW Daily Dazzle – I’m thrilled to help you succeed and shine in all aspects of your life.
