BREATHWORK | MOVEMENT | INNER EXPLORATION
Maya
I am an explorer of movement, a holistic coach, and a well-being entrepreneur, co-founder of LOKAHI HOLISTIC STUDIO, a sanctuary where body and soul unite to heal. I guide those who seek to free themselves from emotional burdens and past traumas through breathwork, while cultivating a community rooted in love, support, and authenticity.
Over the years, I have helped many reconnect with their true essence, starting with fitness coaching and yoga. I quickly realized that true balance is not just about the physical but requires a broader, more integrated approach. Movement, nutrition, inner reflection, and self-acceptance form the pillars of my work. My intention is to share the wisdom life has gifted me, helping others walk toward greater awareness, harmony, and inner freedom.
Today, I reflect on my own journey with gratitude, fully embracing every part of myself. This path has no beginning or end—it is a continuous learning process, where every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Through my experiences, I have learned to cultivate faith and resilience, transforming obstacles into elevation.
I invite you to step fully into your own story, to become the architect of your life, and to embody your fullest potential. Are you ready to take this step toward yourself?

A Journey Through Acceptance
At the age of 8, I began exploring my emotions, questioning my place in this world and my ability to belong. To find my grounding, I discovered conscious breathing through the "Box Breathing" method. Around this time, I also started journaling, setting me on a path toward deeper self-understanding. The sports I practiced helped build my confidence, yet beneath the surface, I was already battling harsh thoughts about my body and my sense of self.
Between the ages of 13 and 16, I went through a period of profound disconnection from myself. Sports lost their meaning, my health took a back seat, and I found myself trapped in inner turmoil. It was within this storm that I discovered yoga, initially drawn to its ability to calm my mind. Yet, despite engaging in self-destructive behaviors—occasional drug use, chaotic eating habits—two anchors remained unshaken: my breath, a refuge in the present moment, and my faith. These two pillars carried me through uncertainty and chaos.
At 19, a moment of clarity allowed me to reclaim my power. I realized that the change I deeply longed for had to come from within. I made the decision to take action.
At 20, I felt the need to plant a seed in the lives of others, to share my journey. I chose the path of guidance through yoga and fitness coaching. Yet, despite these practices, anxiety lingered, and my relationship with my body and femininity remained fragile. I then deepened my breathwork practice, seeking not only to breathe better but to breathe with awareness. To this day, I continue to explore the vast dimensions of this powerful tool that is our breath. This journey has led me to embrace every part of myself—the ones that shamed me, the ones that hurt me, the ones that freed me, and the ones that taught me. Rather than seeking to heal, I learned to accept. That is when my true transformation began.
At 27, I felt the undeniable call to guide others through breathwork. I decided to train as a facilitator. I studied, practiced, attended both online and in-person courses, and listened to countless testimonies. I learned and, most importantly, gained clarity on the kind of facilitator I did not want to be, while seeking the tools to offer an authentic and sincere form of guidance. I started leading regular sessions, contributing to the transformation of others while simultaneously learning the humility, service, and self-alignment required in this work. I witnessed extraordinary moments, was deeply moved by some sessions, sometimes felt fear, and often questioned myself. This path is one of continuous learning.
Very quickly, I felt the call to go beyond my own practice. To transmit, to teach, to train—these became undeniable truths. My desire is not just to guide but to equip future facilitators, to provide them with the tools to embody this role with love, humility, and integrity. I share this profound practice, pass on the wisdom that experience has gifted me, and guide those who, in turn, aspire to become carriers of transformation. My vision is to build a community of conscious facilitators, capable of embracing this mission with sincerity and commitment.
Today, I do not stand as a pillar, but as a guide. I invite each person to reclaim their own sovereignty, to awaken the healer within—not by leaning on me, but by reconnecting with their own essence through mine.
