“Maya is a deeply insightful, compassionate and wise coach who has a gift for flexibly responding to people in a way that matches where they are in their journey. She creates the context for the gems to emerge and is helping to make the world a place of flourishing now and in the future.”

“I just want to thank you for introducing me to your practice- you really changed my life.” 

 “Maya is an amazing and insightful person who has been extremely generous in her approach. She has enabled me to tap into her broad, unique and deep understanding and insights in executive leadership. Her 90 day mindfulness leadership programme has felt like a “step change” for me as I continue to grow and build my capability and strengths in leadership and learn to flourish in life. She has repeatedly surprised me in how she hones in on just what I need right now to grow and take the next step. Whether it be the science and latest research to help me understand or the techniques to guide me through the awareness, personal reflections and changes I need to lean into, she offers it all. Her holistic and integrated approach is helping me both professionally and personally and I can’t wait to see where this path leads me.”

“Before meeting Maya my life felt quite chaotic, madly busy actually, with an over-full mind and the feeling that there was little time in my own life for quiet reflection or calm. I was juggling life as a mum of two young kids while running a rapidly growing organization and all the demands that go with both of these roles. I had been curious about meditation for some time but never found the time to learn about it. I’m really glad that I finally have and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Maya is a very talented, warm, real and at times quite magical woman who has helped me get my life into balance. It’s still early days for me but over the past few weeks I’ve noticed my stress levels have reduced, I’m more focused, am enjoying relaxing and generally feel lighter and happier (interspersed with moments of blissful joy). Maya’s meditation training is something I would genuinely encourage others to do – she’s a super star”

“Working with Maya is a joy. She’s zesty, intuitive, spiritual, practical, inspiring and fun. She offers clarity and caring, compassion and creativity. I recommend her highly.”

“Maya has made a big difference to my life.  Maya has a wonderful gift, she is intuitive in her teaching style and seems to convey the essence of what it means to meditate without effort and without judgment.  She manages to transfer a warm energy that carries her message long after you leave her presence.  I highly recommend Maya’s courses or one-on-one time.”

“Maya is a genuine person with a very down to earth and practical approach to problem-solving and implementation . Her experience ,depth and rounded knowledge of the many philosophies and techniques in and around mindfulness and meditation make her skilled at finding best fit individual solutions . I love that she walks the talk, also evident in her 25 years of meditation practice.”

“I contacted Maya when I was having chemotherapy for advanced cancer. Although I had very little experience of meditation Maya has worked with me to find a way of meditating that suits me and she has done this with wisdom, an open mind, honesty, love, and (very importantly) humour. The benefits have surpassed anything I could have hoped for and I use the skills Maya taught me every day. I find I can very quickly achieve a place where I am at peace . This can be done many times throughout the day in what I refer to as bite sized meditations.  It can also be done anywhere and anytime. My journey is one I never expected to take so soon, and while sometimes I am scared, with Maya’s help, most of the time I am not.”

“Maya has a unique ability to make you feel safe and at ease, encouraging and enquiring in a supportive way, and providing excellent tools and skills to help unlock your potential. I feel lighter after talking to Maya.”

“I have recently worked with Maya during a transition in my career pathway. She is authentic, empathetic, highly engaging, and has a gift in being able to create a ‘safe space’. Her coaching was crucial to help me recognising my behaviour patterns and my internal roadblocks. She guided me in the journey to find my inner strength and to overcome these obstacles. Her coaching has been a key factor in my leadership growth journey and gave me the confidence to unlock my leadership potential.”

“Thanks so much, Maya. It has been amazing working with you. It has been such a safe calming space being with you. You are truly an amazing person. I have felt equally challenged and cared for.”

“I had a few very difficult years at work.  It was a career that I had devoted twenty years to. Challenge has come with resentment, blame and anger.  Blaming myself and others. My decision to leave has not been easy and came with a lot of self doubt. I chose to see Maya because I wasn't looking for help with  'leadership' or 'communication' but someone special to help me find purpose and meaning with my life.

Maya has helped me understand healthy boundaries, learn important concepts of self- awareness, feelings and needs.  I have learnt that I can choose to respond in ways that expand me and make me available to those around me. I have been able to find space to reset, to know that I can lean my ladder up a different wall on a different path of growth. I feel very hopeful and relieved, because I have been searching for a way to stay well, happy, thrive, to be of service and to do good things.”

“Maya’s gift to me has been manifold.  Being deeply listened to, with a fierce compassion, and an insistence that I look reality in the eye has been transformational for me. Maya coaches from a deep well of wisdom drawn from her own rich, authentically-lived life.  She is also gifted at creating the space for real conversations.  She walked alongside me metaphorically, and often literally, as I explored how I am showing up in my life and sometimes getting in my own way.  With Maya I laughed, cried and got past my own BS to the heart of things.  As a result I have let go of a bunch of limiting thinking and behaviours.  I have also rediscovered a sense of peace that had been missing for a whole.  All of this has set me free to have a greater impact in the work that I love. Thanks Maya! “
