Welcome.

I’m Maya.

I wear many hats: friend, student, teacher, brownie fanatic (soft-baked cookies are great too), girlfriend, dog-lover, traveler...

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: the quality of our lives comes down to the quality of our relationships, with others and with ourselves. Everything I do ties into that, whether we're one-on-one, together in a training room, on retreat in nature, or in a group cohort.

And, if you're alive on this planet right now, you're probably noticing that this kind of connecting within ourselves and with others isn't always easy. We've got phones glued to us, loud social media pings, constant distraction, and fast-paced change... PHEW. You may feel uncertain, scared, lost, or stuck, or you may know others who are. Some parts of me feel that too, sometimes.

And yet, I've come to believe there has never been a more important time to come home to ourselves.

I don't say that lightly. I had a pretty big wake-up call of my own.

Part of My Story

Let's rewind the clock to the start of the pandemic. Seemingly overnight, the whole world shut down. We saw people in hazmat suits, we were told to isolate indoors, and we watched polarization intensify on a global scale. Not a walk in the park, my friend.

At the time, I was finishing my last year of school, losing my mind in a tiny apartment, and stuck in old patterns that were becoming impossible to ignore. I felt pretty unfulfilled and lost. Looking back, I'd spent a big chunk of my life numbing out, staying busy and distracted, rather than facing what was really going on beneath the surface.

I was hitting the snooze button on my life for a long time. Maybe you're there now, too.

SO, I decided to take responsibility for my life. I started studying how humans change, and what makes it stick, and I sought help of my own. I got to know myself more honestly. I began to shift old survival patterns that had fully taken over, like people-pleasing and hyper-vigilance, and learned to meet myself, and others, with greater compassion.

This is the work I do now. I'm trained in some of the world's leading modalities for inner and outer change, to help you come home to who you really are, and help others do the same. And I practice what I preach daily.

A Glimpse into My Life.

In my downtime, you'll find me with loved ones, traveling (usually somewhere I can hike or scuba dive), or cuddling with my dog, Kiwi. I loooove alone time, and I connect most deeply with myself on the yoga mat or out in nature.

I'm also a founding member of the HeartMath Institute's Citizen Scientist Initiative, a program that helps people ask deeper questions about heart-based practices, run their own experiments, and share what they learn with their community.
