Yoga Therapy & Ayurvedic Mental Health Care

In a world where our bodies carry the weight of constant stress and uncertainty, I offer a space to come home to yourself — through yoga therapy, Ayurveda, herbal care, and bodywork that restore rhythm, resilience, and rest.

My Approach


The body and mind are not separate — when we’re under stress, the nervous system and digestive system both feel it.
Tightness in the chest, irregular appetite, poor sleep, or gut discomfort are often signs that the body is trying to process more than it can digest — physically and emotionally.

Through yoga therapy, Ayurvedic care, herbal support, and restorative bodywork, I help you regulate your nervous system and rebuild your natural daily rhythm — the cycles of nourishment, rest, and attention that sustain mental and physical health.

When we restore rhythm, the whole system begins to settle. Digestion strengthens, sleep deepens, and clarity returns. This is the foundation of sustainable healing — not fixing what’s broken, but remembering what is whole.

Who I Work With

For Those Who Are Carrying Too Much

I work with people navigating anxiety, burnout, trauma, and the exhaustion that comes from caring deeply — therapists, teachers, healers, parents, activists, and anyone working toward a more just and compassionate world.

Many of my clients are also engaged in therapy or psychiatric care. With years of experience offering yoga therapy in high-acuity mental-health settings, I specialize in integrative support that complements clinical treatment — helping clients translate insight into embodied healing.

I understand that many of us are not unwell by accident; we’re responding to systems that keep us overextended and disconnected. My approach offers a space to slow down, feel, and recover your rhythm — through yoga therapy, Ayurveda, herbal care, and bodywork that support both personal healing and collective resilience.

We’re Not Meant to Heal Alone


The nervous system finds safety through connection, not isolation. In sessions and groups, I integrate science-based tools (Polyvagal-informed) with the timeless frameworks of yoga and Ayurveda so you can understand your body’s signals, meet them with compassion, and practice sustainable ways to return to balance.

Justice & Gratitude


This work is for everyone. I offer care that honors each person’s body, story, and lived experience — grounded in respect, cultural humility, and the understanding that all of us are shaped by the conditions we live within.

Healing is both personal and collective: a practice of remembering our belonging — to ourselves, to one another, and to the natural world. The teachings I share are rooted in rhythm, compassion, and connection, offered as small acts of repair in a world that asks too much of us.

With deep gratitude to my teachers and lineages — T. Krishnamacharya, T. K. V. Desikachar, the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram, and Amy Wheeler — and to the many wisdom keepers who have modeled care, integrity, and embodiment, I carry this work forward with humility, reverence, and responsibility.

  • “Maya helped get me to a place where I could breathe. With her help, not only was I able to implement healthy food choices, but she helped me to see the bigger piece that was missing…connection."

  • “Working with Maya has been powerful and meaningful for me as I learn to embrace my true self. Maya and I have been working on how to feel my feelings in my body not just think about them in my mind. Working with Maya has been a real safe space to talk about my deepest feelings. I have learned to practice interoception and the ability to sense all sensations within my body which has helped me managing big emotions. One of my goals working with Maya was to learn to manage intense emotional outbursts, and I have learned to do this by connecting with my body and recogizing sensations as signals that I need to take some breaths to calm down. I have learned many breath and mediation tools that have helped me regulate my emotions and have more compassion for myself in difficult moments.”
