ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

If you’re here, chances are you’re tired of repeating the same patterns in relationships and life. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, and maybe even tried therapy without getting the results you hoped for—and something still feels off.

That’s where I come in.

The Real Story.

The Journalist in Me

I don’t just ask deep questions—I help you find the real answers. My background in journalism taught me how to cut through the noise and get to the truth. Now, I use that same skill to help you see yourself clearly. It’s also given me a strong grasp of clear communication, which I’ll teach you to use for self-advocacy and having direct, honest conversations that leave no room for confusion.

The No-BS Coach

I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to help you grow. If you’re looking for someone to ‘fix’ your life while you stay the same, I’m not the coach for you. But if you’re ready to put in the work? Let’s go. My latina roots are nurturing yet firm, meaning that I will hold you, but I’ll also hold you accountable. I will work WITH you, be your biggest cheerleader because I BELIEVE you’re just around the corner from all your dreams. What are you waiting for? Let’s make that turn.

The Energy Worker

Healing isn’t just about mindset—it’s about nervous system regulation, energy shifts, and learning how to truly trust yourself. That’s why I integrate Reiki, somatic healing and mindfulness into my mindset coaching for real, lasting transformation. We’re not just one-dimensional, if we want shifts that last, we have to work with all parts of our being.

The Fun Stuff

When I'm not coaching, you can find me getting on a plane somewhere, dancing, reading or getting lost in the beauty of nature- whether it's being near water, driving through the countryside, or admiring a random tree. I'm always crafting something with my hands, for me, this is the ultimate meditation. I have a weird talent for puzzles (patterns are my thing) and for hugs. Big hug enthusiast. And big "kitchen dance parties" girl. You can count on my daily dancing with my cat Juno anywhere around the house. "Play" is an important word in my life and she sits every day at my table.

  • Maida’s distance energy sessions were incredible! She quickly sensed what I needed, guided me with clear steps to protect my energy, and the Reiki left me feeling lighter and at peace.

  • Maida takes care of everything she presents and you can feel her loving energy with absolutely everyone in the room. Out of all the workshops we held, Maida was rated one of the best. We can't wait to have her back!

    Stephanie A.

  • She has a true gift of healing and holds a lot of love and light in her heart. I have received a couple of Reiki sessions from Maida that left me feeling way more grounded and balanced. I have recommended her to many friends and will continue to do so!

    Caroline S.

  • I’ve had energy work sessions with many practitioners, but my work with Maida has easily been some of the most impactful, thorough, and relaxing experiences. She has such an amazing way of balancing a kind, gentle, and sweet disposition with direct, no-BS, grounded realness that is SO necessary and hard to find in a lot of spiritual circles.
