MexicoBiography
Mary Yonker Vales
Mary Yonker Vales has devoted over twenty-five years to the study of energy, consciousness, and personal transformation. Based in Mexico City, Mexico, she serves a global community through grounded, heart-centered spiritual training.
Her journey began in 1999 with advanced study in chakra and energy awareness, laying a strong foundation in understanding how subtle energy shapes our emotions, choices, and relationships. What began as personal exploration became a lifelong commitment to living and teaching from energetic clarity and integrity.
In 2013, Mary entered the world of Soul Coaching®, where she found a transformational framework that united intuition with structure. Through years of advanced study and facilitation, she became a Soul Coaching® Master Practitioner and Trainer, guiding others to clear limiting patterns, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and step into aligned leadership.
With a professional background in education and program design, Mary brings something distinctive to spiritual training: structure that supports depth. She believes transformation flourishes when insight is paired with clarity. Her programs are intentionally designed to be emotionally safe, thoughtfully progressive, and deeply experiential. Students do not simply receive information — they integrate lasting change.
As a Mexican-American educator living in Mexico, Mary bridges cultures through her bilingual Soul Coaching® trainings in both English and Spanish. She is committed to expanding access to transformational work while maintaining the integrity of the lineage and the responsibility that comes with guiding others.
Mary is known for her grounded presence, intuitive precision, and steady ability to hold space during profound inner shifts.
For her, this work is not about mysticism.
It is about alignment.
It is about integrity.
It is about remembering who you are beneath the noise.
She trains coaches not only to guide others —
but to embody the work with authenticity, responsibility, and heart.
Testimonials
Testimonial 1
This course transformed me at a profound personal level. We worked on the deeper layers — the parts of ourselves we often avoid — and through that process, I was able to truly recognize who I am, clarify who I want to become, and take concrete steps toward that vision.
One of my greatest breakthroughs was acknowledging my fears and beginning to face them with courage. I also made a powerful commitment to myself: to dedicate daily time to my own growth. That decision didn’t just change me — it positively impacted the people closest to me.
Working with emotions is never easy, but it reconnects you to your inner strength. It helps you rediscover yourself and grow stronger. In these past weeks, I have experienced more peace than I have felt in many other moments of my life.
With deep gratitude.

Testimonial 2
Through this program, I honored promises I had made to myself — and in doing so, new doors opened that I once thought were out of reach. What began as personal reflection became the beginning of meaningful new chapters in my life.
This experience truly transformed me. It provided practical, grounded tools that helped me move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. I now walk with deeper awareness and a renewed sense of direction.
