Are You Succeeding on the Outside…
but Silently Burning Out Inside?
Is this familiar?
- Your mind won’t shut off at night.
- You wake up tired, even after 8 hours.
- Carrying tension that feels like you’re trapped in your own body.
- Your focus? Scattered. Unfocused. Your emotions? All over the place.
- Caffeine gets you through the morning. Unconscious scrolling or sugar gets you through the rest.
- Maybe you’re tossing and turning. Waking up every night at 3 a.m.
- You’ve lost your sparkle and shine.
- You’re holding it all together—while quietly unraveling inside.
- You’re unsure what to do at night to support your healing, recharge your systems, and how to stir those heart’s desires back up again.
And deep down… you know, something has to change.
What if the shifts and transformation you’re seeking… happens while you sleep?
The way we go approach sleep has changed from the days of falling asleep in front of the TV or passing out from exhaustion— unconscious of sleep’s real power to support us in our own awakening.
If you want to consciously use sleep to wake up better refreshed, happier more at peace, feeling your life has a direction and not reactive to life outside of you, then keep on reading.
Here’s what no one’s telling you…
Your sleep could be holding you hostage. The fears and anxiety that won’t go away. The emotional and mental spirals re-imagining the past pain and trauma. The abundance that feels just out of reach. It’s not because you’re not trying hard enough. It’s because you might not be sleeping with intention.
Sleep is where the real rewiring happens. And most people are completely missing the magic. We spend one third of our lives sleeping. By the time you’re 75 years old, you’ll have spent 25 years sleeping.
So much productivity actually happens when you sleep. You’re not missing out when you don’t sleep, it’s the opposite. You’re missing out on free healing time when you don’t sleep. It’s an untapped portal for:
- Nervous system healing
- Manifestation & abundance
- Beauty and cellular rejuvenation
- Deep, divine transformation and subconscious re-wiring
This is your online hub to reconnect with sleep as your most powerful self-healing tool — not just for your body, but for your energetic frequency. Here’s how this all came about…
There was a time I was so exhausted, just completely spent on any ounce of energy I had left.
I’ve always thought myself to be a pretty good sleeper, but I learned things on my healing journey through sleep.
At the time I had shoulder pain that prevented me from putting my shirt over my head. It was locked. I was experiencing serious brain fog that made it hard to focus, feel inspired or make sense out of the most simple tasks. If you know this, it’s a scary place to be. I felt so overwhelmed, worried, anxious and physically tired.
Then I turned my attention to what happens before bed. I created a 30-day ritual program for myself to reset my nervous system, reconnect to my heart, and feel alive again. I called it my 30 day boot-camp so I’d take it serious, put that pressure on myself.
Within a month, the pain started to dissipate. I had movement. I started seeing new opportunities open. I started sleep more deeply. Then anxiety and overwhelm leaving my body. Started to hear my inner guidance. More energy. More clear. More awake.
Not from doing more — but from becoming more aligned while I slept. I was healing. Deep healing.
A year later, because people asked me how I did it and what I was going, I birthed my signature method: The D.R.E.A.M. Method — a feminine approach to energetic sleep healing and soulful transformation. I created what I now call The Sleep Sanctuary.
The Sleep Sanctuary
This is the core portal. Monthly guided support using the D.R.E.A.M. Method to reset your nervous system, rewire your subconscious, and activate abundance, timeless beauty, and longevity — all while you sleep.
You’ll put into practice what you learn and deepen into your heart so it stays. This is an experimental program.
You’ll create new night time rituals of what to say, see and be.. that you look forward to each night.
You’ll track your energy shifts.
This Is For You If…
- You’re doing the inner work… but still waking up tired or heavy
- You’re building a business, a vision, or a new identity — and your energy is sacred
- You’re ready for your sleep to not just restore you… but create you
- You’re done forcing and finally ready to receive, release, and rise
- You’re ready for total energetic rewiring and renewal — while you sleep
Ready to Wake With More Energy and Aliveness?
Because when you sleep differently, you become more awake to possibilities.
You rise — the person that’s ready to make the moves from a higher energetic resonance, a rested body, mind and spirit.

About Maria
Maria Carbonell is a visionary in the sacred sleep, divine feminine and soul restoration movement. As the founder of Dream With Maria and creator of the D.R.E.A.M. Method™, she’s guiding a new generation of women to restore a sustainable energy, reclaim their rhythm, and rise into the lives that’s true and beautiful to her—with sleep as the transformational portal.
But this movement didn’t begin in the spotlight. It began in the dark. There was a season when Maria was exhausted—not just tired, but soul-tired. She got tired of shrinking to make others feel comfortable, living on other people’s and society’s expectations… until she was done. She lost her sparkle and creativity. The brain fog was real. Her nervous system frayed. The negativity and toxic energy she took on. She was surviving the days.
Sleep became her turning point. Not just to rest her body, but to begin again. In sleep, she found healing, softness, clarity. And surrender. She began to unravel ancestral patterns entangled in her energy and began sifting and sorting through what was hers and not.
Her energy became more clean and clear, her nervous system regulated, and she started reconnecting with her sacred power and intuition at a whole new level. Thinking the healing was done, she discovered more layers as they got revealed in sleep and dreams. From that transformation, Sleep Sanctuary was born.
Today, Maria has taught over 300 sleep classes online and in-person, hosted women’s retreats, and supported executives, founders, physicians, and creatives in renewing their energy from the inside out. With roots in Ayurveda, plant medicine, breathwork, feminine energetics, and somatic healing, her approach blends sacred science with ancient wisdom. As a certified Life Coach and Ayurvedic Lifestyle educator, practitioner she is trained in behavior change and habit transformation, anchored in embodiment.
Maria is a trusted voice for a new generation of women ready to lead, live, and love as a well-rested woman. This isn’t just about sleep. It’s about remembering who you really are. Rested and risen.
