Maude is…
A specialist in preventing and working through burnout; an accredited ICF coach; a certified sex, love and relationship coach; a professional strategist; dancing queen, thoughtful mother; fun friend; deep space holder and so much more.
I work with emotionally exhausted women who want to rest, who want to focus, who want to take big bold exciting action, who want to relax, who want to step out of those shitty cycles of overwork, resentment and overwhelm.
No amount of green smoothies or yoga or self help books can shift inner criticism and create long term change. Burnout is not caused by one thing. And recovering or preventing burnout is not either. You are a multifaceted human. I am a multifaceted coach.
I spent years studying integrative coaching frameworks, cognitive talk therapy and embodiment practices. I am passionate about women’s wellness - mental, physical and emotional. These are some of the areas of expertise, qualifications, tools, experience I bring to support you.
Stress management - working with external stressors, internal criticism, overwhelm and anxiety, digestion of actual stress hormones, cognitive techniques around reframing stress and neuroscience around calm and presence is my jam. Together we orient to noticing the positive, calming the nervous system and creating sustainable changes that build your resilience. I have qualifications in mind body techniques, stress and wellbeing, integrative coaching and have created and delivered training and workshops on time management, stress management, focus and clarity.
Relationships and intimacy - Add to the above 1000 hours of specialized training in sex, love, and relationship coaching, through the VITA methodology to support your holistic wellbeing. I work with women around dating, entering new relationships, improving long term relationships, parenting and conflict in connection. We work with concerns and stress around desire, libido and body confidence.
I specialise in long term transformation through 1 on 1 coaching and practices and I always add a dash of humour and lightness! I work online with women around the world from London to New York. In “real life” I am based in a small coastal town in Cape Town, South Africa that smells like seaweed.

What clients say about working with me
"You have always met me where I have been. When I have been in pieces and heartache you have helped me to breathe through the moment and feel my body. When I have been feeling strong and in a place of success you have really helped me to feel my power and celebrated with me. It was simple to feel trust in the sessions, your attentiveness and presence is powerful. I hold the time with you as very precious; the reminder of empowerment, the healing in expressing my truth and a deepened trust that I am enough as I am. And, it has been a lot of fun as well, which is a wonderful quality. I learned with you that healing and meeting myself can be full of lightness and sweetness, also when there is pain and struggle" Idun, 27, Herbalist
