it is always sunrise somewhere in the world.
may the rising sun serve as a cue for our journey, reminding us that each moment is a new opportunity for illumination and growth.

my approach as a counsellor is rooted in a strong foundation of exploration and education in eastern, western and indigenous healing traditions. my practice is trauma-informed and client-led, meaning that we will only go where you are ready to go.

"put simply; I am here to help you shine."
​

hello, my name is maia.
I am a certified counsellor, meditation teacher and integration coach. beyond these titles I am a human being with a warm heart and a deep passion for helping you to tap into your deepest potential. to put it most simply; I am here to help you shine.

the path that lead me to counselling evolved from my own personal healing journey and deep dive into the Self. as I explored, I found myself increasingly drawn to discover what it means to be fully human and fully alive. this guiding question has led me to learn and travel widely, experience a diversity of teachings and healing modalities from an array of sources. I am particularly inspired by expanded states of consciousness, soul-centred, nature based, and contemplative practices from around the world. along the way, I have learnt time and time again what it feels like to be the client, the student, or the recipient of therapy. my years of healing and self-examination gifted me with deep compassion and sensitivity that forms the core of all my work. 

these years of exploration have allowed me to continually deepen my understanding of how I can best be of service to the world; learning how to bring softness to even the darkest spaces, and discovering how nature offers an infinite resource for healing and self-knowledge. my work is always evolving and I am committed to a lifetime of growth and expansion, so that I can continue be of service to all beings.
