Diana Keuillian
“As someone who can often get stuck in my own head, I found it transformative to be guided through somatic experience with Maja. She helped me attune to sensations in my body that I had previously been unaware of and figure out how to harness those sensations to regulate my nervous system. She is a gentle, playful, and attentive healer.”

“My sessions with Maja have been profoundly enlightening experiences. Her guidance is gentle, yet very effective and her expertise in the plant world offers a unique perspective and connection that transcends a typical therapy session. I gained a new understanding of how my body holds and responds to feeling. I highly recommend working with her if you are looking to deepen your connection to your body’s wisdom”
