About Maya

A coach rooted
in real transformation.

I'm Maya Chen — a certified life and career coach with over a decade of experience helping women find their footing in lives that feel too small, too loud, or simply no longer theirs.

At 32, I had everything on paper and yet couldn't shake the feeling that something essential was missing. Coaching helped me find the thread back to myself — and changed me so profoundly I left my corporate career to dedicate my life to this work.

Today I hold a PCC credential through the ICF, a certificate in Somatic Coaching, and over 2,000 hours of direct client work across four continents.

The Approach

Not prescriptive.
Personal.

This isn't cookie-cutter coaching. It's an invitation to know yourself more fully. Every session is built around you — your rhythms, your resistance, your readiness.

We move at the pace of real change: steady, intentional, and honest. Three phases guide the journey.

Phase 01

Find True North

We excavate what matters most — beneath the noise, the obligations, and the roles you've outgrown.

Phase 02

Clear the Noise

We name the inherited beliefs and outdated identities in the way, so they lose their power over you.

Phase 03

Build New Ground

We design choices, habits, and commitments that root your vision in real, daily life — sustainably.

From the Women

In their own words.

"I had been circling the same decision for two years. In our second session, I finally saw why — and made the leap."

— Amara T., Creative Director, NYC

"Maya has a rare gift: she asks questions that you didn't know you needed to hear. My relationship with myself completely shifted."

— Priya M., Marketing Executive, London

"I came in wanting a career change. I left with something much bigger — a sense of who I actually am beneath all the roles I was playing."

— Celeste V., Former Attorney, Portland

"The ROI on this investment is impossible to calculate. I landed my dream role and — more importantly — feel like myself again."

— Dana K., Entrepreneur, Austin

"I was skeptical of coaching. Now I recommend it — and specifically Maya — to every woman I care about who feels stuck."

— Sofia R., Physician, San Francisco

"What I appreciated most was her complete absence of judgment. I could finally tell the whole truth. That's where the real work began."

— Nadia H., Educator & Mother, Seattle

The Philosophy

You are not a problem to be fixed.

Every person who comes to me arrives whole. Coaching isn't about fixing what's broken — it's about uncovering what's been obscured and building space for it to live and breathe.

What I Believe

The values that root this work.

Honesty Over Comfort

I'll always tell you the truth — gently, but clearly. Real change starts where honest reflection lives.

Your Pace, Always

There's no rushing a becoming. We move at the speed of genuine understanding, never performance.

Whole-Person Thinking

You are not your career, your relationship, or your to-do list. We work with all of you, always.

Embodied Practice

The body holds wisdom the mind hasn't caught up to yet. We learn to listen to both in every session.

Sustainable Change

Not interested in quick fixes. We build patterns that last because they're truly and deeply yours.

Joy as a Compass

When something lights you up, that's data. We use it. Delight is never, ever frivolous.

Before You Reach Out

A few answers.

Is the discovery call really free? +
Yes, completely. I believe you should have a genuine sense of fit before making any investment. No pitch, no pressure, ever. It's 30 minutes of honest conversation.
What if I'm not sure which program is right for me? +
That's exactly what the discovery call is for. We'll figure it out together — or if nothing feels right, I'll point you toward resources or referrals that might serve you better.
Do you work with people outside of Portland? +
Yes — the majority of my clients are virtual. I work with women across the US, UK, and beyond. Sessions happen over video call and are just as rich as in-person work.
How long until you respond to an inquiry? +
I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours on business days. You'll receive a scheduling link to book your discovery call directly.
How do I know if I'm ready for coaching? +
Readiness isn't a fixed destination — it's a direction. If you're asking the question, that's usually enough. Come to the discovery call with your uncertainty. It's welcome here.
