Turn your despair about what's ending into creative energy for what's emerging.
🌿 You’re collapse aware.
You recognize the urgency of our colliding crises.
You´re a pattern reader, a systems feeler, a signal scout who sees things before others do.
It is baked into your biology.
But this seeing can feel heavy and isolating.
THE GOOD NEWS:
We can use our clarity to start good things now, right where we are.
Engaging in meaningful and relational local action converts grief into creative energy.
🔶 It keeps us coherent.
🔶 It brings us together.
🔶 And it plugs us into the JOY of collaboration.
🌿 This is collapse-forward living.
A grounded, creative way of being human in a world that’s unraveling.
I’m Maya—an imaginative futurist and creative adaptation strategist working with female founders, leaders, coaches, and healers navigating personal, professional, and planetary collapse.
I have helped clients in 20+ countries transform despair into rewilded imagination and inspired action to protect the people, places, and projects they love.
🌿 What I offer is not therapy or coaching.
It’s something older and deeply human: companioning.
As a collapse companion, I help others find clarity, comfort, and community as things crumble.
Oh, and comic relief.
Because laughter is healing.
When we begin to see what is still possible, everything shifts.
🌿 What Changes When We Work Together
Women come to me feeling stuck, crushed, or panicked.
They leave feeling:
🔶clearer about what matters
🔶steadier in their bodies and choices
🔶more imaginative and hopeful about what´s possible
🔶more JOYFUL and EXCITED about their future
Each client initiates, expands, or deepens a local project.
And that shifts everything in about a month.
¨I lost the job I had loved for twenty years. I spent months at home, watching terrible news. I hit rock bottom, fearing for myself and the world.
Maya made me laugh again. She guided me through a creative re-imagining process that led to being offered an amazing new role! I honestly believe that this experience with Maya saved my life.¨
Maria - former events producer, now director of a community-building organization
"As a single mother, I was fearful about my ability to raise my son in these times, and hopeless about the world he will grow up in.
I am so grateful for Maya's wisdom as a mother and grandmother. She gave me new ways to think about the future. I have made significant changes, and created intentional relationships and a new project.
Yes, things are awful, but I have practices that keep me grounded, and a commitment to making our daily life wonder-full. It is such a beautiful way to live!"
Erica - nurse practitioner, founder of a healthcare co-operative for single mothers
🌿 I offer two ways we can work together:
🌼 DOOM TO BLOOM™ 1:1 Transformative Series
My signature 30-day personalized series (fully remote) offering deep, attuned companioning for women navigating the emotional and practical challenges of recognizing collapse.
🌟 DEEP BLOOM™ 1:1 co-creative partnership
This 90-day bespoke experience profoundly alters your perspective on what is (still) possible as you ground your wise and collaborative approach to leading others through collapse.
¨I was feeling hopeless about my divided city and the loss of federal funding for life-saving programs. Maya´s warm (and funny!) guidance helped me turn my advocacy work into something far more local and personal.
Bringing the focus to my own neighborhood allowed me to help those I actually see, and develop a strong web of support.¨
Nicole - former national director, now founder of a related local program
¨I was targeted and harrassed by a citizen upset about his taxes. Even a restraining order did not keep my family safe. Maya helped me pour my fear, anger, and resentment into action. She offered loving support and much-needed laughter as I moved with my children from the U.S. to France. I feel safe, calm, and happy here, with a community and work I adore. My children are thriving! I am so thankful for this new life.¨
Lisa - former county administrator, now owner of a natural foods store

🌿 My Story
I’ve lived through my own collapses—personal and existential.
Grief that rearranged me at the molecular level. Repeatedly.
What I learned:
Collapse introduces you to the truest version of yourself.
And if you rise to the challenge, you will develop a rich perspective and wisdom that unites & uplifts others.
🌿 Collapse cracks us open, but it also reveals hidden gifts.
Let´s find the ones that are right there, just waiting for you.
When I was a child, my grandmother taught me about the power of marigolds as companion plants in the garden, keeping aphids, tomato worms, and squash bugs away.
She told me, "Marigolds are friends that help other plants grow strong."
Because what I offer is wise and creative companioning rather than coaching or counseling, I use marigolds as a beautiful symbol of this collaborative work.
I spent the pandemic stuck in a studio apartment in Buenos Aires for months during one of the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world.
I knew there were people who were suffering terribly all over the world.
And I longed to help.
