Work With Me

Collapse  Companioning

is for those navigating anxiety, grief, anger, uncertainty, and a deep longing for a new way forward.  

It´s for people ready to come alive, take inspired action, and build something small and beautiful alongside others.

Companioning is rooted in presence rather than expertise.

Instead of diagnosing or directing, we sit with one another, acknowledging what’s real, what´s ridiculous, and what´s doable.

 

If therapy asks, “Where does it hurt?”
and coaching asks, “Where do you want to go?”
companioning asks:

“How can we walk through this chaos together without losing our damn minds?”

 

If you´re longing for a big-hearted thought partner offering a friendly nudge, a knowing smile, and a warm hand on your shoulder when you feel like crawling into a hole, you´re in the right place.

Who This Work Is For

We may be a good fit if:

  • you’re grieving—but long for lightness

  • you want to stay awake—without burning out or shutting down

  • you crave a sense of stability—and simple tools you´ll actually love using

  • you´re ready to get creative—and use it for good

  • you seek clarity about your next steps— and are open to trying new things

 

You do not need to be in crisis. (But it´s okay if you are.)
You just need to be ready to move through the chaos with curiosity.

¨I needed a reminder of the beauty of being human. Maya offered me a lifeline.

I finally left my toxic job, and moved to my favorite small city. I have great new collapse-aware friends, work that fulfills me, and a simple home that feels like an oasis. Joy shows up constantly. 

Every day of working with Maya was a gift. It changed my life.¨ 

Sheela - former executive assistant, now director of a youth empowerment organization 

¨I spent a whole year feeling overwhelmed. I just kept spinning the same disaster stories in my head. I lost friends and became distant from my family. 

With Maya´s help, I finally broke free from that sad place. I put together a core group, and we are building new offline skills together to help us anticipate future needs. I now have close bonds with those I love, and I am having fun again!¨

 David - IT professional and active community volunteer

¨Maya´s voice chats were like having a personal coach in my pocket! I feel so much lighter even with all that is happening. I have new rituals and tools for building resilience that energize me daily. I am a much more conscious leader for my team, and we are actively creating our community programs with deeper awareness of likely scenarios.¨

Noreen - owner of a community-building consultancy 

🌿 My Approach

Warm. Clear. Folksy. 

I bring presence and playfulness.

My work is shaped by my:

  • decades of turning deep grief into transformation

  • life-long fascination with psychology and behavior change

  • training as a creative breakthrough coach, mediator, and trauma-informed facilitator

  • roles as an artist, educator, adaptation activist, and imaginative futurist

  • 50 years of mindfulness practice
  • full embrace of our capacity for creativity and joy

 

Grief heals more deeply when it’s witnessed.
And clarity returns when someone helps you slow down enough to hear it.

Ready to find a way forward that feels like truth and transformation?

I offer 2 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.

Together, we walk a path of depth, discovery, dreaming, daring, and DOING. 

 

Doom to Bloom™ is a transformative 30-day exploration of meaning, mending, marveling, method, and motivation that leads to profound personal and professional shifts.

It is an intensive and liberating process with ongoing daily support via text/voice/video/email message (your choice) for 30 days, followed by weekly check-ins the following month.
