I have now participated in two of Maya’s workshops and I plan on attending many more. In my experience, the methods and frameworks she has developed for accessing and transforming deeply held patterns in the body and consciousness are delightfully novel and also gentle. By supportively guiding participants to rediscover their own intuitive ability for movement and creative expression along the healing path, Maya reminds me again and again how rich I am as a being and how empowering it feels to meet more and more parts of myself.
Maya’s integrity as a person is one of the main ingredients in the loving and safe space she creates in her workshops. I have rarely encountered a facilitator who has gone so deep in her own personal work and her compassionate work with others. To me, Maya is the ideal combination of a facilitator with natural ability, extensive training and experience in a range of supportive fields and a deep love for diving down and exploring her own depths, no matter what she finds there. I love her unique approach to personal expansion because it is grounded, creative, supportive—and it works.
I felt so incredibly safe and listened to when working with Maya. Her intuition and intentionality allowed me to open and ground into states of safety I have rarely experienced with another person present. The session was not only profound, but fun and joyful and I have come back to the practices she shared with me time and time again. My session with Maya reminded me that healing doesn’t have to be scary or complicated, and that the body is wise in knowing what how to come into a state of regulation and safety. Maya helped me listen and attune to that wisdom in a way I am so profoundly grateful for.
It is rare to meet a facilitator who embodies such a profound level of love, integrity and deep care as Maya does. The level of thoughtfulness, attention to detail and preparation that Maya comes into her sessions with is profoundly evident and felt.
As a result, coming into my session I felt deeply held, heard, seen and understood through out the entire process. Her impeccable presence, wisdom and ability to reflect and hold space allowed for immediate breakthroughs to unfold in the most delightful and illuminating way.
I’ve been on an intensive path of personal and spiritual development for over fifteen years now and what Maya’s work taught me is just how UPLIFTING and PLAYFUL change can be through creative expression.
I have worked with many practitioners and healers over the years and experienced new self-awareness and transformation immediately while being taken through Maya’s unique method.
If you’re ready to transform and heal, all while being held in a sacred space by a gentle yet powerful guide, Maya is the right person for you.
I have attended four of Maya's workshops and each one was powerful in its own way. When I come into the space that Maya is holding, I feel right away that this space is for me. I immediately settle myself into whatever cozy comfortable position I need for the work that is to come. There is a safety I feel that allows me to drop into my body as she guides me through each element. The work is deep yet playful. Maya knows how to facilitate her participants through a journey using tools they can carry with them for a lifetime and despite coming in with pain in my heart, through Maya’s techniques I am able to access parts of myself in a curious and loving way and I feel a lot of joy in this.
I attended Maya's Opening to love and intimacy workshop and have done personal one on one work with her. I have found her work to be absolutely foundational in my own process of tapping into the language of emotion. Her gentle and compassionate presence helps us facilitate expression and transformation of those deeper pieces within ourselves. Her intuitive guidance assists us in finding parts we are resistant to seeing. Maya brings a sense of humor and grace to her workshops that helps to enliven the groups work. She is truly a gifted space holder. I look very much forward to working with her, moving into the future
A little while ago I attended one of Maya’s workshops – and I just loved it. Maya is a genuinely sensitive, caring and responsive facilitator! During the workshop, one gets to explore several aspects, and by very different artistic means. Some of the “explorations” felt just wonderful (which is great), but more importantly, some of the activities certainly pushed me a bit out of my comfort zone – which (particularly in hindsight ) was even much more valuable. Thank you Maya for this wonderful experience!
I just wanted to thank you for the most beautiful and affirming sessions that we have undertaken in this nurturing collaboration. I honestly haven’t had a session where I felt so seen, secure, loved and held.
Your gentle encouragement and space holding allowed me to approach things that needed to be looked at, to have awareness around pattens within my system that were activating and then supporting, to access my inner resources and find and foster a deep connection to my essential self.
I love that you also inject humour at the most appropriate times ..this laughter was such a healing balm. You have tremendous healing capacity and hold space with so much tenderness.
I also enjoyed very much the way we integrated the work together and how you use art to bring things out of my soul to paper. Pretty niche. Some weeks we let movement emerge spontaneously and had dance party where I felt self consciousness leave my body. The work we did feels divine. It has a Godly quality. Very special. Very transformative.
I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to be in your heart space. I have learnt a lot from you Maya and will highly recommend you. Such a powerful and compassionate healer, coach and person with perfect pitch and attunement.
My sessions with Maya have been imperative to my personal growth. In her loving guidance - I was able to access emotions that were keeping me trapped and disconnected from my true self.
Her approach is gentle, yet powerful. I loved using colouring, dancing and writing to channel my emotions - and integrate them in a way that was meaningful.
After each session I felt more alive and more accepting of myself as a human being worthy of exploring her light and her darkness.
My life transitioned quickly - especially after the third session - and my old patterns blocking me from accessing the love in my heart shifted quickly. I have been able to form deeper connections, explore more self care and admire my inner child more than ever before.
Furthermore - I learned how to embody my own emotions more holistically. Maya made me present to my gait when I was housing a certain feeling and held space for me to utilize my body through dance to effectively represent my inner world and what was occurring deeply.
I highly recommend Maya’s work if you are looking to process and integrate emotions you have been suppressing for a long time.
