About Maureen
I didn't set out to do this work.
Life simply kept pointing me toward it.
I studied fibers at SCAD and spent eight years running a design studio in Brooklyn doing set design, interiors, and production. It was during that time that I did my first yoga training in 2007, beginning a deep inward journey that would eventually lead me back to everything I hadn't yet processed, including the loss of my mother a decade earlier. It was a wild and busy time, but slowly, life began cracking me open in a different direction.
I cared for my mother from the age of 14, holding her hand in our backyard as she took her last breath when I was 16. Her death was peaceful, a gentle letting go, and I see now that she was my first initiation into holding space and healing.
My father died fifteen years later. His passing was different. He fought, he struggled, he hung on, and I stood there wishing with everything I had that I knew how to help him transition. That grief became a quest. After he died in 2013, I became nomadic, traveling, surfing, and studying healing modalities and art across the world. I was learning what I wished I'd had access to before he died.
Part of that journey led me to India, where I spent almost two years. A year living at an ashram studying Himalayan Kundalini, and another year traveling across the country. Deep in practice and study, living in the dynamic and colorful land of India with its rich ancient tradition, something cracked open in me. My creative channel opened in a way that I could trust for the first time. It was at the ashram that I discovered I could paint murals. A teacher pointed at a wall, told me I was an artist, and said go paint it. I had never painted a mural before. I didn't pre-plan, I just started creating and let it flow out of me. I completed three murals on the property and when I returned to the States I began receiving commissions.
I studied different energy healing modalities along the way, learning from teachers across cultures and from the plants themselves. For a time the art was more prominent than the healing. But the more medicine work I did, the more healing happened, and slowly the two became inseparable. The same transmission expressed in different forms.
I trained in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Visionary Craniosacral Work and spent time working at retreat centers in Costa Rica. Somewhere along the way, without planning it, I developed my own way of working. A blend of hands on bodywork, visionary channeled transmissions, breath, visualization, and sacred art. It can't be traced back to any single lineage or place on the Earth, it was born from all of them.
Hawaii has been a heart home for the last twelve years. I always get drawn back to these shores while continuing to travel, study, and deepen my practice. I am forever a student.
This work isn't something I decided to do. It's something I became.
If something in this story feels familiar, if you recognize the longing, the threshold, the sense that something deeper is calling, that recognition is not an accident. It's an invitation.
I work with people one on one through Visionary Realignment sessions, Energy Portraits, and the Expansion Portal. If you feel ready, I would love to work with you.
