Maya(she/her)Nadeem

Maya is a trauma informed creative facilitator and coach who has been involved in community healing and support work since 2007. Maya created the Heart of Flow Method which she uses to design her workshops combining creative expression and somatic movement to help others experience joy in their lives while cultivating security in themselves as they gain tools to process challenging emotions and self regulate, building emotional resilience and a solid sense of self worth. She offers individual sessions as well as group workshops for nonprofit organizations and corporations. With a BA in Sociology from the University of Toronto, she has trained extensively in creative facilitation, trauma recovery, somatic and embodiment modalities. Since 2012 she has been providing volunteer bereavement support at the Toronto Distress Centre as a grief facilitator for survivors of suicide and homicide loss and used to be on their phone lines for ten years as a Distress responder. She has worked as a workshop facilitator for Dandelion Initiative with survivors of gendered assault and sexual violence.

Maya finds joy and freedom by creating a life that spins together woven threads of art, movement, writing and wild laughter. Connect with Maya through her website: www.mayanadeem.com
