  • So Nice to Press a Pause

    Thank you, Mayya, for organizing a meditation workshop for the inSeption Group. The feedback I’m receiving is so positive! It was so nice to press pause, at least for some time, from all of the incessant stream of so much thinking. I highly recommend Mayya and her practice!

  • Super Easy, Super Joyful, and Energizing

    Mayya has conducted a meditation session for us at DroneDeploy! Wow, "It is actually super easy, super joyful, and energizing!" I thought to myself after completing the 90-minute "relax course".

    It was an absolutely eye-opening experience.

    I love the approach, its science, and the delivery method. I truly think some of those quick 60-90 second techniques will make a big difference in my day-to-day work full of meetings and an ever-changing pile of things on my to-do list!

  • Invaluable Addition to Workplace Wellness

    Mayya provided two meditation sessions for our company. This year's session was held in the evening after a particularly stressful day. Mayya's voice was calming and soothing, and it helped all of us to "escape" and unwind. Mayya's ability to teach fast and effective methods for entering relaxation states makes her an invaluable addition to any organization looking to promote workplace wellness.

  • Thoughtful and thorough approach

    Working with Mayya was a happy coincidence. A colleague connected us amidst the considerations for Mental Health Awareness Month, and from the very first email and phone call, Mayya was incredibly warm and pleasant to work with. While we planned our corporate meditation workshop with Mayya about a month in advance, her thoughtful and thorough approach led to clear expectations of the service she would provide, check-ins along the way, and ultimately, a wonderfully executed virtual event.

    Mayya’s meditation and wellness philosophies and “Practical Meditation for Busy Minds” aligned so well for the professionals that work within our fast-paced, high-pressure company, resulting in lots of unsolicited feedback on how much it was enjoyed, appreciated, and will be used in the future. Thank you Mayya!

  • Feeling Relaxed and clear-headed

    My company brought Mayya to my office where she led a lovely meditation class for a group of people with a wide range of exposure and experience with meditation. She did a great job tailoring the experience to such a diverse group, and afterwards I headed back to my desk feeling relaxed and clear-headed.

  • I Felt Enriched and Blessed

    Mayya is a rare individual who has the spiritual energy and heart of a healer, weaving her authentically unique meditation teachings from years of personal experience and exploration. She provides a potent bridge between science and spirituality grounding her teachings as a pragmatic rational scientist with embodied knowledge and wisdom of the sacred material and ancient practices. I have felt truly enriched and blessed by her offerings.

  • Great Insight For Targeted Meditation Sessions

    I would encourage others to reach out to Mayya for meditation sessions. Her soothing guidance and demeanor set her apart. She has years of meditation experience, and of collaborating with peers, which she applies to tailored sessions for individuals and groups. Her experience in a corporate setting, and understanding of the stresses therein, gives her great insight for targeted meditation sessions to individuals and project teams. She applies a variety of approaches to her practice, which I appreciated and learnt from. Mayya is a great meditation coach.

  • Helps Me Stay Calm and Productive

    During the pandemic, I attempted to meditate; however, it felt strange! My brain couldn’t stop wandering, and I thought I just wasn’t built for it.

    When I started working with Mayya, I discovered a whole new dimension in the interaction between brain and body. My work in early-phase clinical trials is often associated with strict deadlines, pressure to consolidate data quickly, and the need to switch between different programs rapidly. Regular meditation work with Mayya helps me stay calm, productive, and maintain the vision that my life is not just about work.

  • Positivity and Kindness

    Although I often wondered about meditation, it wasn't until Mayya worked with me that I realized it's something I can do. She dispelled the myths, and my preconceived ideas of what meditation is and isn't and taught me that anyone who wants to learn to meditate can do so. Mayya takes a genuine interest in you and asks thoughtful, guiding questions to help you discover what approaches work best for you. Her kindness and positivity shine through in each session. I can't thank Mayya enough for teaching me how to begin my meditation journey.

  • Light When I Most Needed It

    Mayya has helped me navigate some of the hardest times in my life. She has an undeniable connection to spirit and the clarity that comes from that guidance has shed light on my path when I most needed it. Her honesty is a gift to everyone she encounters. She is devoted to truth the way scientists are and devoted to love the way mystics are. Rare and exquisite combination.

  • Thoughtful sessions

    How can I say in just a few words what a beautiful soul Mayya is. She was one of the first people to guide me into the world of Instinctive Meditation. For two years, Mayya supported me as an individual and as part of a group of trainee teachers of meditation.

    Her sessions were thoughtful, always inviting us to share our ideas and concerns. I feel priviledged to have had Mayya as my guide and mentor.

  • Meditation is Simpler Than I imagined

    Meditation can feel strange, foreign, or just downright HARD. I wanted to get into it years ago when I began my yoga practice but had too fidgety of a monkey mind to settle in and practice. I was angry and frustrated by my own inability.

    Lucky for me, I met Mayya. She taught me that meditation is simpler than I imagined. A guide is often the best step forward. Consider letting Mayya be your guide. She knows what she's doing! She is respectful, gentle, kindly, and compassionate. Her passion for meditation really shines. She will not disappoint!
