When you’re called to this work, you know it’s more than just a job — it’s who you are.

Build a business that reflects your purpose and passion for birthwork

You’ve fallen in love with birth — now you’re ready to turn that passion into a thriving business that helps families have better birth experiences.But as excitement meets reality, you realize something important: loving birth didn’t prepare you for running a successful business.

Fear creeps in and questions start to surface.“How much should I charge?”

“What if I fail?”
“How can I attract clients who truly align with me and my practice?”
“I want to grow, but I don’t know where to start.”

Without the right mindset, structure, and support, those dreams can fade fast — left on the back burner, unfulfilled.

Empower & Expand: Coaching for Birth Professionals is where that changes. This 6-month program helps you release fear, shift your mindset, and gain the clarity and strategy needed to build a purposeful, profitable, and sustainable birth practice.

You’ll learn how to attract clients who resonate with your values, your energy, and your mission — so your business feels aligned, authentic, and deeply fulfilling.

Attract the Clients & Success You Were
Meant For

Believe me, I understand these questions all too well. For over 20 years, I served in the U.S. Air Force as a medic and Labor & Delivery Nurse. My paychecks were steady, my health benefits were guaranteed, and my path was clear.

But deep down, I knew I wanted more — to make a bigger impact, to serve the birth community my way.

Still, stepping into entrepreneurship felt like uncharted territory. I had never owned a business, managed a team, or built an online presence. It was all brand new — exciting but overwhelming.

I wanted to create something meaningful, something that reflected my values and passion for birth. And I wanted to do it successfully. That’s when I learned that success doesn’t come from just doing more — it comes from shifting your mindset, aligning your energy, and learning how to attract the right clients and opportunities.

Fulfill Your Calling and Live Your Purpose.

I’ve dedicated my life to helping birth professionals build not just successful careers, but lasting legacies of abundance for themselves and their families.

One of my greatest strengths is guiding ambitious birth professionals to step fully into their purpose — aligning their passion for birth with the confidence, clarity, and business strategy needed to thrive.

It’s my mission to help you become the highest version of yourself and turn your vision into reality. Inside Empower & Expand, you’ll learn the mindset, structure, and proven methods to create a meaningful, purpose-driven, and prosperous practice that supports both you and the families you serve.

Mindset: The Foundation of Every Thriving Practice

Over the years, I’ve witnessed the incredible power of the mind to transform lives and create lasting success. What I’ve learned is that the most powerful tool you have for achieving anything — in business or life — is your mindset and the way you think.

When you decide what you want and stay committed to seeing it through, you begin to think into results. That’s where true change happens.

Once you learn how to harness the power of your thoughts, you can design your business exactly as you envision it.

My role is to help you bring that vision to life — turning your ideas, goals, and dreams into a tangible, thriving reality.

Who Created Thinking Into Results?

Bob Proctor is considered the world's foremost expert on the human mind and studied thousands of books within his lifetime. While reading "Think and Grow Rich," Bob was inspired to create his own personal development company.

Sandy Gallagher was an attorney that was inspired by Bob Proctor during a three-day lecture series. Together they created the Proctor Gallagher Institute.

Marya shifted how I think, how I serve, and how I run my business. I feel more aligned, confident, and successful than ever before.

Before working with Marya, I was passionate about birth but struggling to turn that passion into a sustainable business. Her teaching completely changed the way I think about my work — from my mindset to how I show up online. Through her guidance, I learned how to attract clients who align with my values and finally feel confident running my birth business. Marya doesn’t just teach strategy; she helps you see yourself as the successful, purposeful professional you were meant to be. My business has grown, my confidence has expanded, and I finally feel in alignment with my calling."T.S, Certified Doula, Certified Childbirth Educator & Birth Professional

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!

Testimonial by Johanna Autrey
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.

Testimonial by Tomeka Jones
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!!
