Myriam Maida

There is much about life that many of us were never taught, like how to feel peace in our own minds; how to address strong emotions; how to make decisions; how to recover from difficult experiences; how to feel comfortable and authentic in ourselves; how to be intimate with others while staying grounded in ourselves; how to navigate dating, relationships, and sex; and how to build a life that is balanced and fulfilling. I coach adults looking to hone their skills in these areas and more.

My approach to coaching integrates body, nervous system, mind, emotion, and energy/spirit. We thrive when we know how to navigate and care for ourselves on all these levels. I am a trained and licensed mental health counselor and while coaching is distinct from therapy, my coaching is therapeutic and often helps clients learn skills to further their personal growth and healing path. Through an integrative and client-centered approach, we will work together to help you discover skills to support your goals.

I discovered my own healing path early in life, when I knew I needed help to recover from difficult experiences. This path led me to an exploration of spirituality and wisdom traditions. I discovered that meditation, authentic relating, and somatic healing were tools that helped me come into deeper relationship with life. I received my Masters Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology in 2015 from Naropa University. This Buddhist-inspired program emphasized mindfulness and the basic goodness of all people. My approach to coaching and life mirrors this tenet – that we are all basically good, in a way that is much vaster than our conventional conceptions of “good” vs “bad.” In my mind, basic goodness means that life is sacred and beautiful, in all of its messiness, pain, and magic. Because you are alive, you are imbued with the miracle of life, and that is good.
