Work With Me
I may be an accidental grief worker, but it is my calling.
I don´t pretend to be a climate psychologist or eco-therapist.
I don´t claim to be an expert on collapse.
What I offer is wise companioning rather than counseling or coaching.
Together, we walk through your grief and turn it into wisdom, wonder, and a rewilded way of facing the future.
By bringing imaginative futures thinking and adaptation habit building into our process, we carve a path that honors emergence while also sparking action toward creating the future we long for.
My work is a blend of my personal experience with profound grief, my work helping 200+ individuals in 20 countries navigate their way through devastating losses, and my unique blend of trauma-informed facilitation, creative breakthrough coaching, and real-world mindfulness training.
This process amplifies your ability to adapt to our shifting reality because it:
🔷meets you where you are - it is highly personalized to reveal and revamp your own particular way of dealing with both dissonance and distress
🔷emphasizes disruption rather than rumination to shift thought patterns and habits that keep you locked into despair and paralysis
🔷builds momentum and consistency to help you find balance on this bumpy ride
🔷leverages your imagination to revive and redirect your creative energy toward personal and collective regeneration
¨I needed a reminder of the beauty of being human.
Maya offered me a lifeline. I finally left my toxic job, and have just moved to my favorite small town. It feels like salvation and a wide-awake kind of hope.¨
Sheela - former executive assistant in the U.S.
"Maya asked me questions that really got to the heart of my longing in a way that I had not accessed. Our ongoing conversation was exactly what I needed to keep me on track with my new habits and get me inspired about what I could do.
The process Maya taught me is one I will continue to turn to as things evolve."
Les - healthcare professional in the U.S.
¨I was literally talking to Maya from my bed, unable to get up to deal with the world. My new perspective became the scaffolding that allowed me to rise.
I can´t say that joy is my constant companion, but it visits me regularly now. :-)¨
R. - communications director for a climate non-profit organization in Canada
¨Maya´s voice chats were like having a personal coach in my pocket! I feel so much lighter despite everything. I have new rituals and tools for building resilience that energize me daily.
I am a much more conscious leader for my team. I feel we are actively creating our part of the future with full awareness.¨
Noreen - owner of a community-building consultancy in the U.S.
My work is informed by my:
🟦 30+ years of learning about deep ecology, behavioral psychology, and systems thinking via the work of the wonderful Joanna Macy, Donella Meadows, Arne Næss, Yuichi Inoue, and others
🟦 engaged exploration of collapse by integrating relevant information from scientific research and the thoughtful work of Jem Bendell, Nate Hagens, Ginie Servant-Miklos, Justin McAfee, and others
🟦 ongoing personal experience in creative adaptation while making major life changes - living in seven countries, building entirely new communities, and immersing in new perspectives
🟦 deep concern as a grandmother navigating future-related worries while focusing on resilience, joy, and love
Sweet little faces blurred for privacy, but you get the vibe. Our sixth was born in September! 🧡
I offer two ways we can work together:
Doom to Bloom™
My signature program is adaptable by design, offering consistent help and healing to those facing a wide range of circumstances and in various stages of collapse awareness and acceptance.
Doom to Bloom™ is a transformative 30-day exploration of meaning, mending, marveling, method, and motivation that leads to profound personal and/or professional shifts.
It is designed to be an intensive and liberating process that is uplifting, inspiring, and energizing.

Present Focus™
Not everyone is looking for transformation.
Maybe you have already spent time coming to terms with collapse, and have a project or idea in mind about your next steps.
If what you really need is clarity and a kickstart to get you moving forward on your idea(s) this week, the Present Focus™ session is an affordable and effective option. It can help you solidify your direction and craft a plan that lights up your imagination and your motivation.
Present Focus™ is a single one-hour session over Zoom plus a follow-up online support conversation one week later to reinforce your clear path and enlightened enthusiasm.
