Maia’s creative work and her desire to

suffering from depression and self-negativity
she finally decided to start a new relationship
with herself and turned her life around, living
a life full of Joy and positivity.
Through imagination and stories — like
a planned meeting with the woman who
runs her destiny or throwing a Saturday night
party for all of her emotions - Maia explores all of
what life brings up and helps herself and her
audience deal with and explore their challenging
and difficult experiences and their most important
relationship — the one with themselves.
Her award winning self-help plays and short stories have
been produced and published all over the United States in

to go on a journey of understanding, get to know
themselves better and deeper, and ask
themselves some important questions about
their inner emotional lives, their struggles
and their relationship with themselves.
Maia received her BA in Emotions and her MA in
Imagination from the University of Life. She
currently resides in Los Angeles, which, much to her
surprise, turned out to be one of the biggest
self-help and spirituality center in the US.
Right now she is working on her first self-help
novel “Love Crime Unit” (working title), a story
about a world where love is being counted and
measured for survival just like money.
Maia's Mission Statement, vision and believe is
in normalizing self-help into our everyday lives.
