Healing

When was the last time you spoke with someone about your health, lifestyle and well-being and received the personal attention you deserve?

A fundamental sign of optimum health and well-being is balance. In a state of balance or equilibrium we feel neutral,  peaceful and calm. There is gracious ease and flow in life. We can achieve these states with the assistance and encouragement of healthy humans who possess the skill and knowledge needed in supportive and safe spaces  for processing, integration and growth.

In addition to having the training, qualifications, and practice necessary for assisting others in healing and wholeness, it is also important to have the courage, knowledge and clarity about real life and the effect our world has on us as individuals and as part of collective groups. We live in a world that is ruled by nationalism, that encourages rivalry, that rewards coercion, manipulation and force. We cannot pretend that we live in a world that prides itself on collaboration and cooperation. A healthy, supportive and competent coach cannot live in this world with rose-tinted glasses.

Many people suffer from living in societies that are more concerned with corporate and multinational interests, instead of social inequalities, environmental pollution, healthcare, education and the economic security of families and individuals. Thus, we have many systems of oppression and injustice, resulting in high numbers of adults and children suffering from anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, isolation, chronic illness, degenerative diseases, addictive behaviors, substance abuse and domestic violence. In essence, our personal afflictions rarely ever exist in a vacuum.

I love Maya’s multi-dimensional approach to nutrition. Maya not only has a comprehensive understanding of the physical and physiological properties of foods, she also possesses an inherent knowledge and experience of how we use food emotionally and spiritually.

When I had a consultation with Maya I was impressed with how utterly present she was and how committed she was to help me find the answers I needed. She is non-judgmental and incredibly supportive. Maya is exceptionally talented, professional and tenacious – ensuring you get the results your body wants and needs. Maya is a real gem in the nutritional field whom I thoroughly recommend!

I first met and studied with Maya in 2015. From the first yoga class I attended I knew she is unlike any other teachers I had met until then. Dedicated, compassionate, extremely intelligent and deeply knowledgeable not just about yoga but a variety of modalities when it comes to inner work. Maya has been a strong support for me during some challenging times in my own life. She was always there whenever I needed her, taking time out of her busy schedule. I think I am truly lucky to have met and worked with Maya, who is now not only a teacher and guide but also a very good friend.
