Specialties: Maya has learned that health is the product of balance and that the voices of too many remains unheard or misunderstood.

She commonly leverages the strengths of families and their support systems such as spirituality, culture, exercise, nutrition and community support to help individuals rebuild and sustain balance within their lives.
