Her Interview

Ten minutes with Maya

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Focus on the work and your own personal growth to stay present and grounded so you can hold space for clients. In yoga we use the word namaste, a Sanskrit term, meaning the Divine in me recognizes the Divine in you. Being able to see beneath people's character flaws and reflect their wholeness is the healing. You can only take your clients as far as you've gone, so continue always working on yourself.
