About me
Hello! My name is Maggie, and my whole life I have been asking the big questions.
You know, the questions like: Who am I? What am I doing here? What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a spiritual being in this world?
I can often be found consuming books and podcasts that feed my curious mind. I am a student of A Course in Miracles (a self-study spiritual thought system) and have a daily spiritual practice that involves meditation, prayer, yoga, and lots of time for quiet reflection. I am a certified yoga instructor who previously taught yoga full-time before I became a therapist. And I am known amongst my friends and family as someone who is highly determined, as I relentlessly turn inwards towards the tough inner-work that some people spend their entire life avoiding.
I work with adults who also like to ask the big questions and who are not satisfied by simply "checking off the boxes" on a seemingly endless to-do list handed down to them from family and culture. From a very young age I have felt a pull to make sense of what is going on within myself and within the world. I have studied and integrated countless theories and practices from philosophy, psychology, and numerous religions and spiritualities into my own life, and have found so many benefits in doing so. And I have allowed myself to increasingly be led by my own Inner Guide on what to do next, causing me to change paths numerous times.
When I was in my late teens my mother bought me a bumper sticker that read “Don't follow me, I'm following my bliss.” I don't know any better way to sum it up! If you would like help learning to confidently follow your own bliss, I'm here to help.
