Maria Tomaino

I've spent 20 years in rooms with people at turning points — and what I've learned is this: the ones who end up doing work they love all start the same way. Not with a job board. With a project. I'm a career coach, counselor, and sound healer. I founded 108 Coaching to help awakened professionals stop performing careers that aren't theirs and start building work that actually resonates. My methodology is built on 20 years of coaching, a Master's in Counseling, and every tool that exists right now — including AI. I lead a team of 20 career coaches focused on tech placement, and I've worked with clients across every industry, globally. The number 108 is an alignment number. It shows up in math, science, and sacred traditions all over the world. 1 — you. 0 — space. 8 — infinite. That's the work: helping you tune your instrument to the frequency that's already yours, and then build from there. Before 108, I spent years in higher ed and edtech — developing 100+ university-wide events, managing 60 large-scale programs, and driving a 250% YoY participation increase. I know how institutions work. I also know why so many people inside them feel like they're playing someone else's game. Outside the work: the great outdoors , traveling, Pugs , live music, deep house, wellness raves, Burning Man )'(, sound alchemy, cymatics, performance art, and the kind of conversations that change how you see things. Find your frequency. Build what's yours. * maria@108coaching.com | 108coaching.com
