Client testimonials

"These coaching sessions have spurred me into action. Some seemingly banal questions would really ignite a spark within me + compel me to reevaluate the place I currently stand, even some deep-seated beliefs or burdens I carry, which I thought I had worked through in psychotherapy. I realized the various ways in which I sabotage myself in work, don't take responsibility, how strong my critic still is (the strict judge, as we called it together), and what I could do differently." T.R. Business owner

“Coaching helped me to start and structure my portfolio which I procrastinated for years, and encouraged me to to see it through. Giving me tips, tricks and strategies to find the time to work on it, helping me realize and formulate my strengths and tailor it to the career I want.


Maya was also instrumental in helping me find the courage to leave the toxic workplace behind and have the trust in myself that I will be able to find other work, and a more enjoyable workplace.


My self-esteem grew dramatically with the process, my ability to realize and formulate what I want and set goals that align with that, my ability to self-reflect, formulate my strengths, communicate them to others and much more.” S.L. Architect

"I gained insight into the personal development obstacles that stand in the way of entering entrepreneurship. I made a concrete action plan and set a deadline for completing certain actions in order to achieve my goals. During the session, I felt supported, respected, and got the impression that my challenges were understood and acknowledged. The approach was warm and pleasant. It helped me identify and become aware of the obstacles that limit my progress and realization of my full potential." J.G. Children development coach
