Private Companioning For Profound Transitions

A trusted advisor for thoughtful leaders navigating complexity.

The world is changing rapidly.

For those recogizing the need to re-imagine their lives in fundamental ways to meet this moment, I offer highly-personalized private companioning grounded in deep reflection and courageous decision-making.

This is not therapy. It is not coaching.

It is a private space for intelligent transformation.

You can no longer pretend that everything is fine.

You may be:

quietly questioning the structure of your life
sensing that your old identity no longer fits
redesigning your work around changing realities
navigating grief, uncertainty, burnout, or disillusionment
longing for a more meaningful and coherent way forward
trying to remain fully awake without becoming emotionally consumed
searching for a wiser way to live in an unstable era

I work with highly-capable people who appear successful from the outside while privately wrestling with profound questions about meaning, direction, belonging, creativity, relationships, aging, resilience, and the future.

They are not looking for formulas.

They are looking for clarity, a more conscious way to live now, and the courage to change.

Realism with humor and love.

I work privately with a small number of individuals navigating significant personal, professional, relational, creative, or existential transitions.

Our conversations may explore:

major life redesign
relocation and reinvention
relationship transitions
grief and identity change
creative awakening
emotional resilience
adaptation to global uncertainty
future-oriented living
values alignment
courageous decision-making

I have served as a Private Companion for individuals in over 20 countries.

My role is not to provide simplistic answers.

It is to help you think more clearly, feel more grounded, recognize hidden patterns, and move toward meaningful change with greater steadiness, imagination, and courage.

I bring decades of lived experience navigating grief, uncertainty, global transitions, and adaptation.

Clients often describe our work together as:

"clarifying"
"expansive"
"deeply calming"
"creatively energizing"
"intellectually stimulating"
"emotionally honest"
"life-changing"

I offer two ways to work with me: a 90-minute Deepening session, or a 1-month immersive Private Companioning experience.

Please note that if you start with a Deepening session and decide you want to continue with a month of Private Companioning, the price will be adjusted accordingly.

A focused process designed to create clarity, direction, and momentum.

US$600

Ideal for those facing:

an important decision
a major transition
creative or emotional stagnation
a desire for meaningful reorientation

"Things were tough for me. I had been laid off by the climate organization I worked for due to current political leadership. Meanwhile, my father was going through chemo for brain cancer.

Maya helped me see that moving back home for a while would feel like the right thing to do, and I am so glad I did! Not only am I here for my parents, but I was able to meet with the local government leaders of my city and talk myself into a role of serving as a grant writer for those wanting to launch community projects. It has been the best job ever!

And I even reconnected with the proverbial girl next door! The relationship is incredibly joyful and grounding. None of this would have happened without that conversation with Maya. I am deeply grateful."

"I had been struggling about what to do with my company as I recognize the signs of collapse. Maya helped me zero in on what matters most and prepare my employees for the changes ahead.

Her insight, empathy, and humor were so very welcome after months of anxiety and sleepless nights! I felt clear-minded and steady enough to have an honest conversation with my team. It inspired bold changes and a conscious new way forward that we are truly excited about. Maya modeled the kind of co-creative leadership I try to embody."

Anna, founder and CEO of a branding company

“Maya has a rare ability to hold emotional depth and strategic intelligence in the same conversation. I felt more understood in our work together than I had in years.

She was absolutely instrumental in my decision to move to a rural area, give my company to my employees, purchase a degraded riverfront property, and start a non-profit to hire local people to regenerate it. My life is infinitely richer, more meaningful, and more joyful since working with Maya.”

Michael, former media company founder

Here's why discerning clients seek my services.

My clients are thoughtful, perceptive women and men who feel a deep sense of responsibility for others as they see and sense what is happening in the world.

They are leaders with influence, and they take that role seriously.

As they consider how they might find meaning and expand their own capacity for grounded leadership, they are searching for a steady, skilled, and wise companion who can help them hold complexity without panic, denial, cynicism, or empty optimism.

Most have already experienced coaching, therapy, and personal development programs.

But they recognize that what matters now is an experience-based understanding of collapse and how to adapt before things become arduous.

What I offer draws from many dimensions of lived experience:

extensive experience with loss and grief
small-town roots
global perspective
pattern recognition
strategic reflection
creative reinvention
relational insight
clarity in uncertainty

I don´t offer generic frameworks or formulaic solutions.

Every engagement is specifically crafted for each individual.

This work is rooted in the belief that even during periods of instability, loss, and profound change, it is possible to create beauty, connection, vitality, and an intentional life that protects the people, places, and possibilities you love most.

I have worked with a wide range of clients from around the world.

From those who have been through traumatic experiences (survivors of school shootings in the U.S., those fleeing from war-torn Ukraine to live in Poland, climate refugees leaving their flooded or burned homes) to those who simply want to make choices that protect what they care about as things escalate.

¨Working with Maya fundamentally changed how I approach my work, my relationships, and my future. I found breathtaking clarity and the confidence to redesign my life around what matters most.”

Dana, CEO of a wellness company

“Maya helped me develop a completely new relationship with uncertainty. I now feel more resilient, more creative, and far more alive.”

Nicole, director of a national environmental organization

"It is not an exaggeration to say that working with Maya saved my life. She was there for me at my very lowest, and helped me see what was possible with a new perspective."

Maria, founder of a community resource organization
