“Maureen helped me find my own self-motivation. I appreciated her reflecting on all of my past accomplishments and helping me make ‘ah-ha’ realizations, like nutrition impacts all other aspects of my health and well being. I really appreciate all that you have done. Thank you for thinking of me as a whole person, your encouragement and your patience.”

About Me/Why I Do This Work

I’m Maureen, and I help teams and leaders navigate change with clarity, focus, and sustainable collaboration.

For over 25 years, I’ve worked in wellness, supporting both individuals and organizations to build energy, resilience, and balance through practical, whole-person strategies. Along the way, I also spent 5–6 years in the corporate world, experiencing firsthand the long hours, tight deadlines, and constant pressure that can lead to burnout.

That experience paired with my wellness training, showed me something essential: energy, focus, and well-being aren’t just personal goals, they’re the foundation of healthy teams and effective leadership.

Today, I bring my whole-person background into organizational work through Virya Co-Lab — a facilitated approach for teams and leaders to slow down, reflect together, and co-create solutions that stick. I use practices like movement, breathwork, storytelling, and nutrition insights not as “wellness tricks” but as methods for presence, regulation, and collective clarity.

My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all because no two teams, challenges, or people are the same. I’m most interested in work that helps groups think together, regulate together, and move forward with grounded focus.

Outside of professional work, you’ll find me on nature walks, playing with rescue dogs, and creating grounded routines that support my own clarity and well-being. Wellness isn’t just what I teach, it’s how I live.

Let’s start a conversation.
