Who I am

I started getting involved in the world of personal growth, healing, therapy, facilitation, teaching and training in my twenties. I have completed over 15 years of training in many modalities, and I have had quite a rich journey of experience in a kaleidoscope of working environments from prisons and schools to the UN and business sector. I have been self-employed as a healer-therapist for 14 years and counting.

Maia’s story

From a very young age, I knew I was a little different and that I was here to do something a little different.  I occupied an undefined space somewhere between an Atheist father and a Protestant mother; I could both empathise with but not find myself in either of their value or belief systems. Early on, I identified as the black sheep of the family. I also grew up in a hamlet outside of three large villages, so was always more on the edge or outside of community, belonging nowhere, but getting on with everyone, especially those that were outcast by others. I always stood up for those who were a little different, as I intrinsically understood what that felt like.

I was born knowing something, but much of my early experience taught me to disavow my intuition, feelings and body. As a result I was profoundly cut off from my spiritual gifts and Divine purpose, and I didn’t know there was even such a thing as inner truth was, let alone how to access or articulate it.

It wasn’t until my early twenties when travelling Australia in 2003 that my path was revealed to me through a life altering experience that left me with no choice but to call for help from whatever it was that existed. Within moments I fell asleep for twelve long, deep hours. I awoke feeling so still and calm, something was profoundly different, somehow the suffering had been lifted out of me and all I felt was peace, it lasted many weeks. I knew nothing of the Divine other than a biblical God, but a week after that experience, I experienced profound synchronicities through books and people who entered my life to teach me about the path of spirit. I was very quickly catapulted onto my spiritual path and I immediately knew that my path was to be in service to the Divine.

From that moment on all my struggles, and there had been many, began to make sense as the lenses through which I saw my experiences was transformed.  But my real unfolding, or unravelling hadn’t even begun, and for many years, what followed was many lows followed by a solitary, occasional high.

In the meantime, I devoured every spiritual and psychotherapeutic book and went on every spiritual course. My training is diverse and deep. I’ve worked with some brilliant therapits, mentors and teachers, but I still continued to experience a very tough version of reality.

It was not until 2011 when I had a very direct encounter with the Goddess through a series of powerful initiations, that I experienced what I call instant ‘real’ and ‘permanent’ transformation. The grace of the Goddess purified me so deeply that my massive lack of self-love and self-worth dissolved in what I can only describe as a miracle, revealing the infinite all-abiding love that had always been within me. Of course there is always many more layers to lift to stabilise the feeling of that infinite love within, but I got my first taste of a miracle, as a gift of grace.

From that point on, I placed my inner connection with the Goddess, the Sovereign Being within, at the cornerstone of my life. Through a gradual surrendering of my ego desires over to Her desires, which continues to this day, I am learning to give ownership and trust over to my heart, my body wisdom and with time, over to my Sovereign Being within.

Now years on and having ridden many a wave, I navigate my own tides well enough to be a spiritual guide for others, receiving soul’s calls for help in the process of awakening, transforming, deepening and refining. I see my role as a vehicle for the flow of Unconditional Divine Love, the healing power of our earth Gaia and the Divine Mother’s presence. Giving birth to my son, Isadore, has been a huge part of this heart opening journey.

Although this sovereign journey will never end, I have reached a place when nothing can daunt or phase me, and so here I feel so much empowerment. And so I now consider myself a highly seasoned, capable spiritual guide, healer and therapist. I deeply understand feelings, blocks, body, relationships, hurdles, people and life. I experience my multidimensionality in an everyday, moment to moment sense now and I learnt the long and hard way what actually works for our healing and emergence into this new consciousness that is fast arising on this planet. To get me to where I am now took many years but under my mentorship and in these accelerated times, you can make quick progress.

I would see it as an honour to initiate and journey with you as you grow and expand, whether it’s for a reason, a season or lifetime.

P.S. If you’ve read this far, thank you. I hope this is just the beginning of our relationship. Now, I’d love to learn more about you, please drop me an email to see how we might work together.

Astrology has always been a passion of mine since my early twenties. In 2007, I began my work as a healer, training intensively for 3 years with the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain. At the same time, I trained in psychic mediumship. In 2009 I trained in spiritual counselling and hypnotherapy, learning also the soul plan which I work with extensively. Shortly after I realised I needed far more training to be able to work effectively with clients, so I commenced a 10 year training programme in Process Oriented Psychology, a form of psychotherapy with it’s foundations in Taoism, Jungian psychology, family therapy, alchemy, shamanism, body work, mythology and communication theory. There was a strong focus on awareness, following process, deep feeling and essence – which are all at the core of this work. At the same time, I also began my journey into qi gong, tai chi and martial arts, a journey I am still intensely on. During this time, I also undertook training in different forms of shamanism, ancestral and past life work, other forms of healing and light work, which brought me into more direct contact with the Divine and of course the energy system. At the same time my work with astrology deepened and I incorporated also the Human Design system. Besides cultivating all my clairs – audient, voyant, sentient, cognisant – I also developed my work with divination systems beyond astrology (I’ Ching, Tarot, archetypes and others), the pendulum and kinesiology. I am currently studying the CHEK Holistic Lifestyle Coach; a functional medicine approach which brings together body, mind, soul and spirit. 

Over time I expanded my repertoire further, creatively integrating what I learnt and now I combine the mysticism of ancient spiritual traditions, esoteric systems, Goddess work, innovative psychotherapeutic interventions, Divine tools and practical, functional medicine that looks at the body’s processes.
