From high school dropout to successful mindset coach
About Marya
I grew up in Canada and moved to the U.S. at 18, searching for purpose and a way to make a difference. In 2000, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force—a decision that taught me discipline, leadership, and the strength to overcome any challenge. In almost 24 years of service, I advanced from enlisted to commissioned officer and became a registered nurse. For more than 15 years, I have worked as a labor and delivery nurse, caring for women through some of the most powerful and vulnerable moments of their lives. But what I witnessed in birth rooms across the country showed me something deeper, women weren’t just in need of medical care; they needed empowerment, understanding, and support for both body and mind.That realization led me to create a new approach to birth and healing-one that blends mindset, movement, and energy work to help women trust their bodies, release fear, and experience birth with confidence.
A New Purpose
What if we could prepare for birth with the same mindset we use to pursue greatness in life?
What if healing old fears and beliefs could unlock a more peaceful, powerful experience?
From that, I created The Natural Birth and Beyond Method, a signature mindset-based approach that helps women use the power of their thoughts, energy, and body to create the birth they actually want, not just the one they’re given.
I believe that birth is more than a moment—it's a mindset shift that can shape your entire life. When you change your thoughts, your birth can become a mirror of your inner strength.
A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.
Mindset Coaching
Marya is a mindset mentor trained extensively in the teachings of Bob Proctor, whose work on the subconscious mind and universal laws has transformed millions of lives. Through years of personal study, mentorship, and practical application of these principles, Marya developed The Natural Birth and Beyond Method—a mindset-based approach that empowers high-achieving women to align their thoughts, emotions, and energy with the birth and life they desire. Her work is founded on the belief that nothing changes until the mind does. By helping women release limiting beliefs, visualize success, and embody deep trust in themselves, Marya guides them through conscious birth preparation that transforms fear into power and intention into reality. She integrates mindset, energy, and somatic tools to create a pathway for women to experience birth as a deeply connected, intuitive, and transformative journey.
Positive Change
It took Marya years of searching to find her true purpose. Everything changed when she discovered the power of a structured, proven system for harnessing the mind. Trained in the success principles of Bob Proctor, she learned how to align her thoughts, beliefs, and energy with her goals-and everything began to shift. Marya went from high school dropout to college graduate, from enlisted Air Force member to commissioned officer, from financial struggle to abundance, and from uncertainty to a confident, purpose-driven entrepreneur. Her story is proof that success isn’t about luck—it’s about alignment.Today, Marya helps high-performing, purpose-driven women reprogram their mindset, release self-doubt, and step into the confident version of themselves who can create the life, birth, and success they’ve always envisioned.
My birth experience spans
over a decade.
Marya changed my entire perspective of childbirth with her work.
I came to her with past trauma, anxiety, and fear. Each week she worked with me to allow my mind to fully let go of the past and to leave it there and not let it affect me anymore. I left her each time feeling free and more confident. When it came time to give birth, I had zero fear. I felt positive, and I felt POWERFUL. I was EXCITED to give birth!! I was in complete control. My breathing and my face was completely calm, the nurse didn’t even believe that I was in labor. In fact, she left my husband and I alone in the delivery room and I delivered my beautiful baby just my husband and I, having only been at the hospital for 10 minutes! I didn’t push a single time. Marya made room for my baby, both mentally and physically and taught me how to gain my own power. I no longer fear birth and will practice all Marya taught me in my future births that I am well looking forward to :) I now believe there is a bad, good, better, and best way to prepare for birth and Marya’s program teaches you the very best way, all you have to do is commit!
Marya has changed my way of thinking, allowing me to go after the things that I WANT.
Marya has been such a positive influence and inspiration to my life! Sometimes you just go through life trying to make certain decisions hoping that it will be good ones, but since meeting her, she has changed my way of thinking, allowing me to go after the things that I WANT in a way that will fulfill my goals, rather than just hoping I will get them. Before, my mindset was “I will try to do this and hope for the best,” but now it’s “I AM and WILL do this to get what I need.” Thank you for changing my way of thinking and the way I view things!
Marya has played an instrumental part of my life.
We met during nursing school. Marya has inspired me in so many ways. She has been my mentor, friend and sister from day 1. She has always been resilient and has a go getter mentality! She doesn’t settle for anything less. I would call her with personal problems or business ventures and she always provided me with not only solutions, but tools to assist me along my journey. Marya is wise beyond her years. Marya was born to lead/stand out! She always thinking outside of the box. Marya has always been one step ahead of her peers! Entrepreneur spirit! Marya is advocate for whatever she believes in. She will fight to the end to protect and defend what and who she believes in. She’s a woman of grace, love, beauty, faith, prestige, confidence and boldness.
The change in my confidence that I have within myself is something I could never thank her enough for.
Marya came into my life during a very vulnerable and challenging time. I was starting a new career, in a new country, and felt so unsure of myself every single day. It was almost debilitating at times. She recognized that within me, and I believe immediately saw her opportunity to change my mindset and equip me with tools and knowledge to give me confidence and feel empowered. I use that knowledge and the tools every single shift when I am at work. The change in my confidence that I have within myself is something I could never thank her enough for. She never accepts negative talk, and when she hears self-doubt among the people around her, she is the first one playing devil’s advocate with ways to change the outcome. She has this special way of encouraging and challenging people to change their mindsets into “how can I make this happen”, instead of “this will never happen”. I will be eternally grateful for the role Marya has played, and will continue to play in my life. I can only imagine the positive energy she will bring to those around her in the future. It’s been a privilege to know her and learn from her!!
