Testimonals

  • "Maya held such beautiful space during the Quiet Storm session. I truly felt tucked in at the end of the night and so peaceful. I was able to release all the tensions from the week and really be with myself intentionally. Maya also provided variations that were comfortable and created more ease in the flow."
