Work With Me

Collapse-Forward Companioning

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

 

🌿 You recognize that things are collapsing—within and around you—and you need a different kind of support.

 

You aren´t looking for therapy or coaching.

You don´t feel like you need an extensive period of processing.

Instead, you want a steady hand on your shoulder as you begin to move forward.

 

You´d love to have a wise, experienced, and inspiring thought partner.

Someone who can hear what you´re longing for even if you can´t articulate it yourself.

Someone who will lovingly and lightheartedly accompany you as you embrace your deepening awareness, sort through your ideas and options, and make changes that lead to clarity, resilience, and yes, even joy.

 

This is collapse-forward companioning.

What is Companioning?

Companioning is a relational, attuned, deeply human way of walking with you during times of collapse and transformation.

 

Companioning is side-by-side presence.

A way of tending to what’s unraveling in you without analyzing, optimizing, or fixing.

 

It is deep listening, reflection, co-regulation, and creative orientation.

Not to help you “get back to normal,”
but to help you become the person this moment is calling you to be.

It is grief literacy, collapse literacy, and life literacy.

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

“How can we walk through this threshold together in a way that feels honest, humane, and life-giving?”

🌔 Who This Work Is For

 

You may be a good fit if:

 

  • you’re grieving—personal grief, ecological grief, anticipatory grief, ambiguous grief

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

  • you’re in a major life transition, identity shift, or threshold moment

  • you feel drawn toward meaning-making, creativity, or reinvention

  • you’ve outgrown old patterns, roles, or worldviews

  • you crave a steady, grounded presence beside you

  • you want clarity about how to act in a world that feels unstable

 

You do not need to be in crisis.
You just need to be ready to move through this moment with curiosity and an open heart.

¨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.

Every day of working with Maya was a gift. I cannot express how thankful I am for her kindness and her inspiring process. 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. I chose to work remotely, which added to my isolation.

With Maya´s help, I finally broke free from that sad place. I put together a core group of others I respect and trust. We are building new offline skills together to help us anticipate future needs. Best of all, 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. We are actively creating our community programs with full awareness of likely scenarios. Though the future doesn´t necessarily look brighter, I am becoming far more capable of dealing with it and helping others do the same.¨

🌾 My Approach

Warm. Clear. Direct. Unafraid.

I bring presence, curiosity, and radical care.

My work is shaped by:

  • years of companioning others through collapse of all kinds

  • lived experience with deep grief and transformation

  • a practice of paying exquisite attention

  • a belief in creative human resilience

  • a capacity to hold complexity with clarity

  • a refusal to bypass or sugarcoat

 

No fixing.
No false optimism.

Just a way forward that feels like truth, not performance.

I do this work because grief becomes generative when it’s witnessed.
Because clarity returns when someone helps you slow down enough to hear it.

And because I believe,
with my whole being,
that collapse can be a birthplace—
of courage, creativity, integrity, and profound connection.

My inspiration: my grandchildren. Sweet little faces blurred for privacy, but you get the vibe. 🧡

I offer 3 ways we can walk through this together.
