Hey, I’m Maya.

Poet, ghostwriter, and guide. I help beauty, wellness, and health founders translate the unspoken into language that feels true, builds trust, and moves people. Together, we draw out the heart of your voice and shape it into words that resonate and leave your audience changed.

How I Can Help

Ghostwriting & Storycraft

Your work has a story that often lives between
the lines or the truth you haven’t yet named.
My gift is listening for that essence and giving it form.

I gather your notes & lived experience, then distill them into language that sounds just like you. Substack, LinkedIn, thought leadership—
each piece becomes a vessel for your voice, carrying your wisdom with clarity & impact.

Intuitive Voice Guidance & Framing

Every voice has an undercurrent—a rhythm, a truth, a throughline waiting to be named.
Together, we surface the spirit of what wants
to emerge and translate it into a living guide for your message.

Through voice mapping and message pillars, we anchor your perspective so your words feel both consistent and alive.

Editorial Strategy with Soul

Your voice carries power—but only if the right message reaches the right audience. I help you decide not just when to publish, but what to share and where it belongs.

Together, we design an editorial map that aligns your story with the platforms that matter most, and sustains your presence without burnout.

Letting go is dissolving into something larger— a vastness that reflects back what was always there. This piece came to me as a meditation on release and light, inspired by the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe. I’ve shared a fuller ref
Strength begins with space 🌱
At the end of August, I wandered through wine country, rows of vines heavy with fruit, some ready to be picked, others still ripening in the sun. The stillness of that landscape stayed with me. Now that September is here, I feel the subtle tug to spe
