"Words cannot express how thankful I am for your beautiful wisdom and positive influence in my life. Through our work, I have gotten to know my self and my dreams in a much deeper and intimate way. As I reflect back on this past year- I am amazed at all of the beautiful, rich experiences I have had - and I know many of them would not have happened or been nearly as rich, without you. Thank you for who you are and for you who are helping me become :)"

"Maya = fabulous. I truly believe it was in the stars that I met Maya about 4 years ago while I was living in Oakland. She has been a wise, intuitive guide and a consistent witness through all my ups and downs. Her approach is intuitive, eclectic, and completely tailored to my needs and personality. Maya ties in her wide range of knowledge about somatic therapy, enneagram, astrology, spirituality, EFT with a friendly yet assertive approach that works like magic. I'm not sure where I would be without Maya. She became such an essential in my life that I continued working with her even after moving across the country two years ago. I've introduced her to several friends who feel the same way. I truly believe my path is richer for having her on it."

“Choosing a coach can be a difficult thing to do. Maya makes the space for sharing "unweird". She walks the tightrope between knowing her clients intimately and respecting professional distance with agility, care and creativity. She integrates several teachings into a recipe that's custom-tailored to the coachee. Working with Maya helped me juggle some of life's surprises/challenges with confidence and courage. I have no hesitation recommending her to my friends, family and others who think they might benefit from coaching.”

"Maya feels like an equal...that rare person that comes along and lets us be fully ourselves and yet also mirrors what we can work on and become. She has an amazing ability to tap into what I am needing to look at in order to get my lessons out of a certain experience.
After almost two years of nurturing and nonjudgmental sessions with Maya, It is clear that she has been very instrumental in helping me gain confidence, growth and openness. I love the life I am living now."
-Hillary H., Client Services Representative, North Carolina
"Being in Maya's Women's Coaching group helped me on many levels. I now feel more connected to myself and other women, my creativity and self-esteem have been strengthened, and I have a lot of new resources for dealing with stress and self-doubt. I would recommend this group to anyone who feels that they are stuck and are ready to make positive changes in their lives."

"I met Maya while attending a weekend seminar. She caught my attention because of her intriguing and inviting presence. I soon found out that in addition to being a life coach, massage therapist & yoga instructor, She also performs Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I had heard about this technique and wanted to give it a try.
The session was amazing, I left feeling lighter and far more grounded, so much so that I am seeing her again this week. Before the session I was a little nearvous, probably because I was venturing into uncharted waters, I think Maya may have sensed this and adapted her approach, like a true professional.
I highly recommend Diamond Life Coaching, especially if you have been considering an EFT session."

"I've always known Maya was a sassy, intelligent, powerful woman, and after working together for three months (with her as my business/life coach) I can now FULLY appreciate her. Her tenacious and loving approach has helped me get through mounds and mounds of my own bullshit, and start to really move forward in my business and personal life."
