I'm new on Bark but have been coaching for over 20 years. Currently one of my clients is a therapist who tells me that what I teach has helped her marriage and she uses the things she's learning with her clients. If that's not a great testimonial, I don't know what is - and I am grateful.

I found You University as a tired, stressed-out new mom. I had a sweet new child and a lot of pain that I was carrying from childhood.
I didn't want my kid to experience the pain that I experienced and knew the most important thing I could do was to heal my sad and bitter heart.
Counseling had helped a little throughout the years but You University was different. Within a year, it gave me the tools to truly heal my pain (and any new pain that comes my way so that it doesn't get out of hand and turn into a shame spiral!). Maia is an incredible coach. She truly understands emotions and uses her intuition to guide you to exactly what you need.
You University helped me turn my life around. I am a much happier, patient, and present mother. I have confidence and feel comfortable with who I am. My past no longer defines my future and it no longer pains my heart. I am forever grateful for Maia and You University.

You were a super "A-student"! That's why it has all worked for you. As one of my mentors told me in the past, I say to you, it's because you did the work. I'm grateful for all your love and support always.

Working with Maia has enabled me to learn coaching skills I can use for the rest of my life. Not only do I use them myself but I also teach them. Priceless.

I'm so glad I was able to add to your fountain of tools.
Teri Henderson
Finding Maia and going through YOU University, gave me so much on so many levels. I was able to truly rid myself of so much emotional baggage that I had carried for so long. I learned tools that I use to this day!! I was able to create healthy boundaries in my relationships and the support was simply amazing!!! I took back my power and quit letting my past hold me hostage. I found a safe place to learn, share, heal and grow free of judgement and came out a completely different person...for that I will always be grateful More...

It warms my heart that you still use what you learned.
Savina Cavallo
I graduated from YOU University several years ago as an emotion-based coach. Besides the training, the whole process became a truly healing experience. The program teaches many practical tools and includes real-life exercises that result in self-awareness, release of guilt, shame and many other emotional blocks. These profound experiences have stayed with me and I still use the tools I learned to process my feelings as needed. An added bonus is the weekly coaching calls with the program creator, Maia Berens. This is what makes it an outstanding program. Maia is supportive, real, wise and very knowledgeable. More...

You U helped to process and resolve issues that counselling alone didn’t. It taught me how to forgive, even myself and ultimately understand the roles I played in the past . I have been able to move on and also help others to do the same . More...

Lovely words!
What do you love most about your job?
I've always loved watching people grow and learn. I guess that's why I kept having kids - I have four. I also love teaching and in many ways a coach is a teacher so as I teach my clients all kinds of tools and life lessons, I get to watch them grow and transform and I love that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I finally learned what I was good at and truly loved so it was natural to make that into a business which I've been doing for well over twenty years.
Why should our clients choose you?
Choose me because I'm good at what I do and can help you transform if you are committed and willing to work.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I only provide services online and remotely. I have coached remotely since the late 90's.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I don't have to do that because I don't see clients in person.
Emotion-Based Coaching
The Transformational Effects of Emotion-Based Coaching
Either I’m just the luckiest person in the world or (and I like this idea much better), my plan when I came here to Planet Earth was to have the first part of my life be somewhat hellish and then when it was just exactly the right moment, to run into ways and means to heal from my past. My whole self-discovery healing journey led to the development of Emotion-Based Coaching.
The Evolution of Emotion-Based Coaching
A lot of people don’t know this about John Gray (author Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus) but he is a master at understanding emotions – how they work and how to process through them. I was trained by him in this work for years. When I met John, I had no idea what a normal array of human emotions were. I usually felt wild optimism or deep sadness and depression. As a result of what I learned from John and the continued work I did using the tools I learned, I became an emotional intelligence “savant“.
After years of using this technology and understanding how the process of emotions works in me, I can and do train life coaches in similar work. All of this technology is contained in Emotion-Based Courses and Coaching.
If you couple emotional healing with the universal truths of forgiveness and it’s healing effects, then add on the understanding of what quantum physics says and tie that in with spirituality and you end up with Emotion-Based Coaching.
The online video courses I’ve created reflect my philosophy of healing the emotions.
Emotion-Based Coaches help clients to heal from their past so they too can continue on their life’s journey towards fulfilling their purpose here on Planet Earth. At the same time that you receive support, guidance, instruction, you can also benefit from the life coaching skills your coach has been trained with.
Heal the Past, Change Beliefs, Inspired Action
The bigger picture of this philosophy is that if you heal the past, you will be able to uncover the incorrect beliefs about yourself and life that you carry as a result of unheard and unprocessed feelings. When you do both parts – the healing and the changing of false beliefs, you find you are a kind of vessel for inspiration and therefore can perform inspired action instead of the same old hamster wheel of behaviors which will keep creating pretty much the same life over and over.
Making a decision to hire a coach or begin a relationship with a mentor/trainer is a big deal. I know because I’ve done it.
When I talk to a potential client, we know pretty quickly whether we are a fit or not. Since I am not a salesperson, I don’t sell what I have to offer. My intention is to see if we are a match. The decision to hire is up to you.
Giving Voice to Spirit
The philosophies of Emotion-Based Coaching and Courses have existed since 2009 in a formalized form but have been the road I traveled to reach emotional health and happiness myself.
We all start out with self-love as babies and often life has a way of interfering. Additionally everyone has at least some emotional baggage. Sharing in either an Emotion-Based Course that you take online or a Facebook group with other people who “get you” or with your coach or with me as your coach, mentor or trainer, is, in my opinion like giving voice to spirit. You have to experience to fully get its value.
Life Coaching
We can work together for 3 months on whatever your issues are and then we can see if you want to work further. I'm particularly good at helping with relationships and communication, self-care and self-esteem.
