We spoke with Maria Serbus, owner, founder and resiliency coach to learn more. Q: Tell us about Maria Serbus LLC. What does your company offer to the Rochester region? A: I’m a stress management consultant. I partner with businesses to support and enhance employee wellness and resilience. I specialize in leadership-management stress reduction workshops, self empowerment workshops, 1 on 1 biofeedback consultations, and all staff workshops in a holistic approach to help improve resilience & decrease burnout/overwhelm. Q: How did it start for Maria Serbus LLC ? A : My background is working as an occupational therapist for 8 years across wide variety of settings in Rochester. It was while working at Mayo that I saw a huge need for more community support in areas of life balance, stress management, and resilience. In 2021 I decided to leave the traditional health care industry to start my own business supporting busy humans in stress management. Business has evolved from focusing on 1 on 1 coaching to supporting businesses and leadership teams along with providing on demand webinars & Mindfulness membership program so I can support people wherever they are on their journey! Q: Maria Serbus LLC has been a member of the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce for two years. What do you find valuable in your membership to the organization? A: I am grateful for the support from the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce. As a solopreneur and team of 1, it’s not easy to find that team camaraderie. Since joining the Chamber, I love being active at events to build community and networking for my business. The Chamber also provides excellent educational opportunities so I have learned so much as a business owner and a Rochester community dweller on what’s happening on our area by attending these events.

Q: What is a unique fact people should know about Maria Serbus LLC? A: That alongside my business workshops, I also love supporting busy people right in there homes! So I love to share about my podcast, blog, and virtual webinars and text membership program - these are great ways stressed out business professionals can kick start their wellness & resilience journey from the comfort of their homes and busy routines! A: I really see a need to continue to take aspects of my business online, virtual, and make it on demand and convenient. I see that while everyone has stress, people are at different stages of readiness to make change and of course time/schedules can impact people booking a workshop with me or 1 on 1 coaching. I want my business to meet people where they are at so I anticipate Q: What is the outlook for your business and industry? in addition to continuing to support people locally, I will keep expanding my reach online and have on demand opportunities that people can consume stress management & resilience tips from anywhere and on their time, in their schedule!
