"Maya was our wedding officiant this past summer and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She is an excellent communicator and was very professional, respectful and thoughtful leading up to and during our wedding ceremony. As an agnostic but also spiritual couple, we deeply appreciated Maya’s ability to balance the conventional elements of a wedding ceremony required under Ontario law with Indigenous teachings and practices. Above all, Maya really cares; she got to know us personally beforehand and the relationship we developed with her resulted in a very heartfelt wedding ceremony that moved us all. We would highly recommend Maya for anyone looking for a wedding officiant."

Maya led me through the process of making my own drum in November 2021. It was an extraordinary experience to make a sacred tool for ceremonial use. Maya is an incredible guide. She is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, organized, generous and teaches each student in a way that they can understand. I really appreciated that she leads from the heart, with a deep connection to Spirit. Maya also led a workshop for students that were taking a course with me. She is deeply connected with each student on a personal level and was able to decide on the fly precisely what needed to be taught in that moment. Maya’s innate ability to tune into each student’s needs is what really sets her apart. I would highly recommend Maya for any workshop that she is teaching. Thank you

"We cannot express how grateful we are to Maya for the heartfelt, connective, honouring and joyful vow renewal ceremony that she created with us and then officiated. Maya’s wisdom, love, intuition, generosity and reverence are incredible gifts that guide this process so beautifully. When we met with Maya, we felt truly seen, for the best of who we both are and this helped us to celebrate this in each other and our relationship. Maya helped us create a beautiful hand fasting ritual that is connected with our own ancestral lineage and the resulting braided ribbon circle that was created through the hand fasting will be a reminder always of the new vows we made to each other. What Maya offers is truly and profoundly healing, connective, with ripples far and wide. We had so many folx who were part of our day expressing the joy, healing and love they experienced in witnessing this ceremony and some even shared a desire and inspiration to do their own vow renewal."

"Being hugged by Maya is like being held by the Earth herself. There is a warmth that emanates from her presence, her sacred space and her gentleness. I cannot express in language the gratitude my heart feels for being led to her Drum Making Workshop. It was so much more than I had originally imagined it to be. I thank the Drum for its lessons and Maya for guiding me through the journey with her compassion, kindness, knowledge and wisdom. I walked away a truer version of who I am."

"Maya’s drum workshops serve as a transformative experience for all those fortunate enough to participate. If you have the opportunity to participate in one of them, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and forever grateful for the incredible gift Maya will share with you. "

"Whether Maya is educating others of the Indigenous way of life, creating drum making workshops, attending drumming circles, establishing connections with others through legacy work as an End of Life Doula, or embracing her upcoming role as a Reverend in front of a church congregation, Maya is committed to the service of others. She walks with integrity and respect, believes in accountability."

"The journey is so much more than drum making, beyond what words can say. Maya and her beautiful heart holds the most sacred space for this to come together. It is a safe space for sharing and be-ing. I am forever grateful to Maya, for being able to see me in my highest light and holding my hand helping me see it for myself. "

"Through compassion, patience and profound respect for my path, over the years Maya has shared wisdom teachings, community, drumming, sacred ceremony and mentorship that has supported my healing journey. Maya shines a light to help others see their own capacity for growth, for healing, for experiencing what is beautiful alongside what is heartbreaking. She has helped me find my own capacity to choose to heal, to honour my Truth and to give back through service from a full heart. "

"Maya has been an incredible source of light and healing for me. I had the privilege of spending sacred time with her, as she helped me to open my heart and my mind during a difficult time. "

"I have been so pleased to be drawn closer to the earth and Great Spirit through your guidance of our drum-making group. Thank you for leading the group and each one of us as individuals in the art of making a drum, in articulating our own goals and meanings, and in bringing into voice our own Spirit Drum."

"Through a difficult time, Maya brought her compassion, wisdom and beautiful approach to death. She made dying feel comfortable, a celebration of who this person was. . It allowed for healing and the grieving process to be beautiful. With many thanks to Maya I look forward to working with her again."
