About Me
I am a certified Life Coach, Kundalini and Hatha Yoga Teacher, with a BA Hons in Film. I have many years of experience as a creative, and bring this to my Yogic and Life coaching - my experience with acting, coaching acting, writing, teaching writing, directing my own productions, running my own Film acting programs in London, UK. Also many years of an affinity with children, supporting families raising their children in Vancouver, raising my own daughter, and now I am a proud and happy grandmother of a delightful soul.
I have experienced twenty plus years of my own healing and personal development work, I am a survivor and recoverer of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Yoga Studies has been central to my healing and personal development. Yoga meaning union with the highest consciousness, where we are all one consciousness, not alone. There has been an indescribable vast leap of growth and change in my own inner and outer world throughout my life. Life has continually invited me to commit bravely to change, to let go of what doesn't work for me, to reach for the unknown aspects of myself and life. This is where the magic of my life lay, and continues to lie.
The strongest tools I have come to know have been powerful and committed searching honesty with self, and finding one's own most appropriate support, in the higher aspects of oneself, and in the wisdom of others.

"Maya is kind of magical and has a unique way of seeing possibilities and knowing how to make them happen." Susan Viccars
"Quietly, Maya was in charge of having released the adrenaline in my psyche to act in a zen-mode without doubt or trepidation. Mayas lesson will be well remembered. Thank you Maya." Love Zul.
Maya, philosophically speaking - you were right on the money and many things were clarified in my mind. – Charlie Bewley,Co-Star The Twilight Saga, Eclipse, New Moon, Co-star - Like Crazy - Winner Sundance Film Festival 2011, Grand Jury Prize
Attila Luca, Director discussing Maya’s private coaching sessions with leads and on set coaching sessions with entire cast in his Vancouver shot movie, Seeds - 2010 Festival selection Cannes, Montreal, Raindance, ReelWorld, Rhode Island:
" I mentioned to Maya that these actors can duplicate life brilliantly, the details are correct but it was reproduced. They were not alive. I don’t want life reproduced on the screen. I want life created.
It was this rehearsal period with Maya that gave the closeness needed for emotional revelation with 32 actors. She’s not only superb at her job, but Maya also made an artistic contribution by being in this film. The week before shooting the main actors came in for rehearsal and sparks flew. They were superb. Their characters and the picture took life."

The Yoga of it All:
What happens in a session...
Yoga is a practice that connects you profoundly with your inner guru - A guru is anything that takes you from darkness to light. Learn to keep taking yourself from darkness to light, share your light with others.
Yoga balances, heals and strenghtens the mind and body, and the nervous system. Access the power of the 72,000 subtle energy channels in your body. Experience profound movement to a place of substantial inner transformation and peace.
When you apply the disciplines of Yoga to your life, your thoughts and words increase in their ability to manifest. ( Derived from Patanjali - The Yoga Sutras)
“By drawing our senses of perception inward, we are able to experience the control, silence, and quietness of the mind.”
― B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
I am a Vipassana Meditator, for almost ten years now. I bring this practice of the non reactive mind to help you with the challenges of release and change. How to powerfully be with what is, whatever you are feeling and experiencing. To develop a state of peace inside of yourself with whatever comes up - how to use difficulties to your advantage, for clearing and catharsis.
To begin with you will connect to breath with some pranayam (yogic breathing exercises) to release your day, to rest in your essence. Then I will lead you through a short meditation.
We will discuss your goals for the session, some problem solving you may like to work on. While you are talking I will guide you to be present to yourself, to the messages on a level you are receiving from your higher self, your soul - your own wisdom.
Included and optional, is an Angel Card reading. 1 card, or multi card, depending on the way each client would prefer the session to be used.
Following this is the opportunity to practice some yoga postures suited to you. This can be seated or standing and moving. The yoga selected for you will be specific to your energy system's needs, and to what is coming up for you at the time.
If you do not want to practice yoga postures, if it isn't right for you that day, we will give more time instead to meditation, the angel card reading and Life Coaching goals.
To conclude the session, is a total relaxtion on your back, in Sivanassa (corpse pose) for five minutes approximately, with relaxing music - to integrate new energy patterns that have been created in the session.
It is possible to radically change your inner and outer world with this work. Kundalini Yoga teachings in particular, which include many stand alone meditations, have been for many, the fast track route for change.
Knowing how to find your calm and strength in the face of anything is particularly needed in these times. A yogic practice is the route to this. Create a daily practice that gives you true stability throughout any storm. A practice, a way of life, that lifts your spirit to the truth of existence, beyond any ideas and reactions that cause or add to suffering. Live in the simple, gentleness and bliss of existence. Yoga - means Union with your highest consciousness. Join yourself to this highest you. The you that see's and exists beyond any limitations - That touches bliss and peacefulness, and knows that in truth, this is truth always.
