Mariana Saslafsky is a loving coach and instructor who has dedicated the past 15 years of her life to personal development. Her life’s work is guiding people to experience the most alive and joyful connection with themselves and others.

Mariana created Breakthrough Atlanta, a 3-day self-development workshop, in 2022 to support the creation of a compassionate and mindful community.

Prior to Breakthrough Atlanta, Mariana, who speaks both English and Spanish, established an equivalent workshop conducted in Spanish in Fort Lauderdale, FL to support the wider Hispanic community. She is a certified coach through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), is a certified Imago Relationship Counselor and is trained to lead couples courses using the Hedy Schleifer methodology.

Mariana’s vast life experiences have informed her coaching practice and have allowed her to connect with her clients on a personal level. After living in Boca Raton, FL for over 30 years, Mariana moved to Atlanta, GA with her husband of 40 years in 2021 to be closer to her children and grandchildren.

A mother of four and lifelong student of growth, Mariana understands the joys and difficulties of nurturing children at different stages. She is also personally familiar with the impacts of drug addiction on a family and withholding affection as a form of punishment. Born in Argentina, her life has been shaped by political instability, discrimination, and reinvention—experiences that fuel her mission to help others rise above their own limitations.

Drawing from a 40-year corporate career—including global VP roles in Technology, Mariana blends leadership insight with real-world empathy. She held senior roles at companies like Citi, AIG, Bupa, and Landis & Gyr, while also co-running six successful franchise businesses with her husband. Mariana brings a rare blend of corporate strategy, entrepreneurial grit, and heartfelt coaching to every conversation.

Passionate, grounded, and results-focused, Mariana empowers her clients to live, lead, and love with greater purpose and authenticity.
