Work With Me
I may be an accidental grief worker, but it is my calling.
I have had profound personal and professional experience with grief.
In the process, I developed a simple but surprisingly effective technique to activate healing and adaptation through creative disruption.
What I offer is companioning rather than counseling or coaching.
Developed during my experience as a creative breakthrough coach working with those who were facing devastating losses, the Doom to Bloom™ process uses storytelling prompts that invite you to explore your worries as well as your dreams for the future.
This process is uniquely effective in dealing with our thoughts and emotions about collapse because it:
🔷meets you where you are - it is highly personalized to clarify and explore your longings as we enter this era of confusion and unrest
🔷emphasizes disruption rather than rumination to shift thought patterns and habits that keep you locked into despair and paralysis
🔷builds immediate momentum and consistency even as things feel unpredictable
🔷leverages your creativity to revive and redirect your energy
"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 pumped 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.
¨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.
Instead of fearing the future, I feel I am actively creating it with full recognition.¨
Noreen - owner of a community-building consultancy in the U.S
Doom to Bloom™
adds meaning and movement to living with the knowledge of loss.
The 90-minute Zoom session is just the beginning.
We will share ongoing text/email/voice/video messages (your choice) daily for two weeks following our session.
Curiosity-stirring prompts. Continued questioning. Deep sitting. Gentle but firm accountability.
And because this is a journey that requires continued reflection as things emerge,
you get access to ongoing support for three full months after our initial session.
This depth plus momentum is the magic that leads to transformation.
"What I loved most about my time with Maya was her prompts to share my stories related to Nature. It was the beginning of a beautiful reconnecting to who I was as a child, happily playing in the creek and discovering new wonders daily.
Those stories and memories brought a new resonance to my life and work."
Jenny - photographer/film director in the U.S
¨Now, my positivity is more balanced. It's based on the truth. Honestly, being open about it is a huge f#$*ing RELIEF. Maya helped me find my courage. I finally talked about all of it with my wife, who encouraged me to leave the company. I launched a new project with a partner.
It´s going well, but more importantly, it feels good. I am beyond grateful.¨
John - former sustainability lead for a U.S. corporation
I don't pretend to be a climate psychologist or eco-therapist.
But I am uniquely positioned to guide you through this personal transformation thanks to:
🟦 my work helping 160+ individuals move through their grief in order to thrive in new ways
🟦 my own life experience processing profound grief and loss
🟦 my particular blend of trauma-informed facilitation, creative breakthrough coaching, and mindfulness training
My work is also 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, and others
🟦 my engaged exploration of collapse by integrating relevant information from the work of Jem Bendell, Nate Hagens, Ginie Servant-Miklos, Justin McAffee, and others
🟦 my ongoing personal experience in creative adaptation while making major life changes - from living in seven countries, building entirely new communities, and immersing in new perspectives
🟦 my 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. 🧡
¨Maya gave me valuable advice about starting a collapse conversation with my clients. It was like opening a door. The conversations got very real, very quickly. It shifted our connection, leading to more future-aware ways of working together.
I feel relieved and empowered just knowing how to broach the subject. The knot in my stomach is gone, and I am feeling real joy in my work now.¨
