I’ve worked with Marya as a Labor and Delivery nurse for 3 years and she has been a true mentor and inspiration in the birthing world. I can attest that she has had such a positive and proud impact on each patient she has cared for. Better yet she was able to mentor and coach me through my own pregnancy and provided wonderful care to me and my family during my prenatal, labor, and postpartum period. I was blessed to be able to receive body work throughout my pregnancy and at the same time she coached me through all of the doubts in my mind about what could go wrong. Needless to say she gave me the tools to have a wonderful and empowering birthing experience!

During my pregnancy and birth, Marya offered world-class support and expertise. During pregnancy, while I was having difficulty due to PTSD and pre-eclampsia from a previous pregnancy, she helped me to make a balanced plan and avoid unnecessary interventions. When my water broke and labor didn't start, I went straight to her for advice and support. She gave me a list of exercises and stretches to do in order. They helped my left hip which was severely restricted by a tight psoas muscle, and it finally released after 2 days. When labor still didn't start, did an emotion code session with me. That night I had an amazing dream, and truly became ready to receive my baby. I had the most AMAZING birth without pain, and only 4 hours of active labor. I birthed exactly how I wanted. But the help that Marya has given me has transcended just pregnancy and birth and has been helping me in other areas of life. I am so grateful for her support!
