I coach the version of you that already knows.

I spent a decade in corporate HR watching talented women shrink themselves to fit rooms that weren't built for them. Then I left to build something different.

I'm a certified life and career coach based in Austin, TX. I work with women who are accomplished on paper but feel stuck, overlooked, or like they're playing a game with someone else's rules.

My coaching isn't about mindset fluff. It's about strategy, clarity, and building the confidence to act on what you already know is true.

"I came to Maya feeling completely burned out and directionless. Three months later I had a new job offer, a clear sense of what I want, and I actually like Mondays now."

"Maya doesn't let you hide behind your own excuses. She's warm and direct in equal measure. The clarity I got in 12 weeks would have taken me years on my own."

"I negotiated a $28k raise after working with Maya. She helped me see my own value and gave me the exact words to use. Best investment I've ever made in myself."
