Maia’s Approach

I don’t follow a formula—I listen. Every session is guided by what your soul is ready for. Whether I’m journeying for you, offering spiritual counsel, or facilitating a return of lost vitality, the approach is always intuitive, intentional, and deeply respectful of the spirit world.

Healing isn’t only about fixing what’s broken—it’s also about remembering what’s already whole.

For nearly three decades, I’ve studied and practiced ancient healing methodologies across cultures, drawing from deep wells of wisdom: shamanic journeying, Taoist energy principles, the Five Elements, and sacred processes like the Holy Womb practice. These teachings have shaped not only what I offer, but how I hold space.

A Listening Presence

Whether I’m working with someone in crisis, navigating illness, or seeking clarity on their spiritual path, I meet each person with deep respect. My role is not to diagnose or interpret, but to listen—intuitively, spiritually, and energetically to my spirit helpers.

Some come to me for soul retrieval, others for power animal retrieval, spiritual guidance, or support during life transitions. I also offer long-distance healing sessions, which allow people around the world to receive support in the comfort of their own space. Healing energy transcends geography—what matters most is intention, preparation, and trust.

The Tools I Work With

I draw from traditional shamanic methods taught by Sandra Ingerman and others, and weave in practices I’ve learned from master healers from India, South Korea, and the Americas. These aren’t just techniques—they are sacred technologies for awakening, cleansing, and reintegration.

In addition to soul retrieval, I offer:
– Power Animal Retrieval
– Spiritual Counseling
– Rituals and Ceremonies for Healing
– Workshops like Finding Your Direction

While each session is different, the underlying current is the same: compassion, clarity, and the belief that healing is possible—even when the road has been long or hard.

Walking with the Wounded

I have walked beside the dying, the grieving, and the brokenhearted. I’ve worked with those in crisis and those in quiet transformation. This path is not about transcending the human experience—it’s about moving through it with intention and care. I offer my presence, my training, and my tools to help others reconnect with what’s sacred inside them—and find the strength to move forward.

“When I first contacted Maia, I felt apprehension at what would be my first soul retrieval. However, any tension was immediately assuaged after our hour-long conversation. 

Maia touched on topics and aspects of my life despite our having never met. I had heart-based goosebumps throughout the first conversation- little did I know that was just the beginning! Maia was incredibly professional, prompt, and made herself very available during the process.

Her experience as a long-time shamanic practitioner was further buoyed by her incredible experiential knowing in spiritual matters and eastern mysticism. Most importantly, Maia made me feel comfortable, acknowledged and seen from the get-go, and she has helped me regain a sense of a quiet inner power.

I highly recommend working with Maia!”

“Since December I have had what seemed like insurmountable pain due to the ending of a substantial 18-month relationship and the slow, but steady decline of my mother.

I was beside myself with grief and believed I would never see past the pain of my losses.  I underestimated the power of the love and guidance that Maia is able to offer.  Not only did she guide me with tools of meditation, but she directed me to resources I was heretofore unaware of.

More importantly, she kept me feeling whole.  She never allowed me to feel regret nor did she allow me to believe that I couldn’t overcome the pain.  She reassured me and made herself available to me in my weakest moments.

In my strongest moments, she cheered me on and encouraged me to once again believe in who I am.

If you value unconditional love, spiritual guidance and a down to earth approach to life, Maia will be a wonderful choice for you.  May God bless you!”

“The Universe guided me to Maia when I had felt like I had just spiritually broken into pieces, scattered and without direction. There was so much stress and pain that I had endured over the years that it felt like there was no hope and no doctor would be able to help heal me.

Maia was so kind and gentle and guided me through the entire process with professionalism and true genuine care for my well-being. It was such an emotional experience for me, and I was glad that I had found someone so sensitive and in tune with just what type of healing I needed.

I highly recommend spending some time with her if you are lost or feel spiritually hurt or missing like I was. Maia, you have a special place in my heart, always.  Love & Light.”

“Maia, you are truly a beautiful spirit and a true healer.
I would someday love to partake of what you teach. If only I could, from here in San Diego.

With Pure Love and COMPLETE Gratitude!”

“I think I knew enough to ask about soul retrieval and Maia agreed it would be a good idea for where I was at in my journey. Maia is an outstanding, multi-talented  shamanic practitioner. She works with genuine care, love, and is a great human as well!  Her retrieval was a game changer.”

“I contacted Maia because I wanted to get in touch with my power animal and to do a soul retrieval. She far exceeded my expectations and was even kind enough to help out my 3-month-old daughter who’s doing significantly better since Maia helped her regain her trust from her traumatic birth. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

“After the soul retrieval I stopped bouncing back and forth between feeling okay and feeling depressed and things began moving quickly – personally, professionally and spiritually.

I remember that day afterward feeling incredibly rested and peaceful, which I couldn’t remember the last time I felt so good.  Even the things you had said after journeying made so much sense and some of which I had never told anyone before.  And I felt tremendous relief from the guilt I had pushed back way into the corner of my mind.

Thank you so much, and thank you for the friendship.”

“Maia is an awesome being/ reader/healer and I’m so blessed to have chosen and worked with her. She is a bright light on this planet. I could go on and on about her talents but when you talk with her you can make your own decision.

I also attended Maia’s telepathy class. She taught us the basics of telepathy and how we could develop our natural skills in using it. We did some actual “readings” of each other and had 1st hand experience of telepathy. As time permits I’ll do more and advanced work with her and the other students.”

“It’s hard to believe it’s only been seven months since your healing because my life has changed completely. The energy you brought back for me gave me the strength to really march down a path to healing, and remember myself. I started studying shamanism to help me be engaged in my healing process. I am on the last leg of doing a chakra healing course. Through this work, I’ve been able to remember, grieve and release the abuse done to me by my father.”

It was an amazing experience. We really appreciate your hard work; and your thoughtfulness in bringing us together with your friends as well. It was truly an evening we will reflect upon for the rest of our lives. With love and gratitude.”
