In A Nutshell…
I bring lives into balance and heal soul and physical wounds,
I support people to resolve emotional and mental barriers,
I guide people during important transitions, in crisis and at thresholds,
I midwife people to birth more of their Divine nature and wholeness,
I help people empty themselves to make space for the embodiment of the Divine within,
I help people expand their consciousness and deeper their awareness,
I inaugurate new phases and growth.
How I work
What I do
I am interested in real conversations and real feeling, growth through grace and challenge, and embodying what it means to be whole and sovereign. I will support you to:
- Know who you are, develop understanding of your unique purpose, and awareness of yourself and others
- Feel and love yourself and others, receive life fully, and cultivate balance
- Be fully empowered through your Divine presence, releasing what is not yours
- Showing up with inspired living your unique purpose with leadership and service
I heal, counsel, facilitate and guide. I work astrologically, psychotherapeutically healing shamanically and with the Divine. For more information see healing modalities
Who I work with
I have worked with everyone, and over the years it has encompassed a diverse range of clients, including:
- People facing severe challenging, such as those diagnosed with psychosis or eating disorders.
- High-profile individuals such as footballers, musicians, actors and CEOs.
- People facing unique challenges, such as young offenders, and individuals in gender transition.
- Individuals in challenging relationships or in grieving process.
- Professionals, start-ups, community leaders, and womens’ group leaders.
I bring the same depth and dedication to every client, meeting them where they are with wisdom, compassion and care.
How I work
My style and way of working is always informed by client needs and a situation as it presents itself in the moment. I am someone who believes in asking the right questions and listening to the feedback, working collaboratively to meet and support needs; this is what leads to real transformation, deeper relationships and lasting change. For the deeper process, see here for more on how I work.
My work explores our multidimensional vastness and our true state of being; my ultimate aim is helping people rediscover their sovereignty. To be self-governing, we need to process life challenges and crisis points at different levels. Different dimensions of consciousness or frequency bands which are essentially multiple, interwoven waves of consciousness, sometimes densely woven and then playing out awkwardly in our reality. We are each aligned with (or stuck in) different levels of reality at different times in our lives, and being adept and fluid in transitioning these different levels of reality; from deep, heavy, dense, low energies or states to high, essence, sentient, siddhic realms of consciousness, allows us to naturally stay in balance. Creating fluidity is key.
Being in balance, resonance, and reconciling the internal and external conflicts is foundational for health and wellbeing, and returning to our true, creative state. Journeying to the depths, experiencing suffering and extreme states are sometimes necessary for growth, yet returning to balance, understanding the cycles of our lives and bringing back gifts from all the dross is also foundational for health and longevity. We don’t need to always grow through challenges, this we can move beyond.
Working with my Divine presence and the God-Goddess consciousness that moves within all things takes us quickly to the source or most urgent issue, and often brings new awareness or resolution to old patterns. Sometimes addressing our everyday lifestyle choices at foundational levels is also core, as simple behavioural changes can bring big shifts. It’s always been clear to me that all levels of being and doing need our attention for permanent, resilient change, which is why this work is functional medicine at its best, addressing soul, spirit and body.
I always place heart at the centre of my life and work, and have a boundless, grounded faith in people, potential and spirit.

Who I Am and How I Got Here
I have walked a winding path, one that has taken me deep into the realms of healing, transformation, and connection with the unseen. Life has called me to uncover the mysteries hidden in plain sight—within ourselves, our stories, and the natural world. My journey has been one of uncovering layers, not just for my own growth but to guide others back to their own innate wisdom.
From a young age, I felt different, as though I stood just outside the world’s well-trodden paths. I grew up on the edges, between belief systems that didn’t quite fit, always drawn to the outliers and the misunderstood. My early years taught me how to see what others might overlook, to honour the unspoken and unseen truths that often linger just beneath the surface.
In my twenties, I answered the call to explore the realms of healing, spirit, and transformation. My training began with astrology and healing, leading me through years of study and practice in psychic mediumship, hypnotherapy, shamanism, and psychotherapy. Over time, I’ve woven together a rich tapestry of modalities, from working with the body through qi gong and tai chi to exploring the deeper layers of consciousness through divination, ancestral healing, and lightwork. My work is grounded in over 15 years of training and experience across a kaleidoscope of environments—from prisons and schools to the UN and the business sector—and 14 years as a healer and therapist.
But this path hasn’t just been about learning tools. It has been a journey of facing myself. Through grace, through struggle, and through profound encounters with the Divine, particularly the Goddess, I’ve come to understand the importance of surrender, love, and deep listening to the wisdom within. Each step has brought me closer to embodying the balance and harmony I now help others seek.
I cannot always offer easy answers or quick solutions to complex problems, but with the Divine awakened within miracles do happen, as my life is testament. My work is to support you in uncovering your truth, to help you navigate the layers of your being, and to restore the balance that calls to your soul. Whether it’s for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you uncover your unique path, your innate wisdom, and your connection to the sacred forces that surround and sustain us.
Love Maia
