Meet Maitreyi
Hello! I'm Maitreyi. Let me introduce myself a little.
I am a therapist & healer by profession, and authenticity & alignment seeker in general. I believe these elements co-exist and I walk this path navigating them on the daily.
My purpose is multi-faceted. A major portion of it is to be a catalyst for people so that they can live their lives free of pain. I wish to create healing in a way that invites joy, freedom, safety and peace as one moves through the myriad ups and downs of life. I like to call this 'The And Experience'.
Another part of my purpose is to help people connect to their Highest Selves, their Creative Selves and the Source.
I believe that we are an amalgamation of the
Mind-Body-Spirit triad. These three are intrinsically connected and we cannot leave one out of the conversation when it comes to healing from trauma and manoeuvring life's experiences. For this reason, it is imperative that we use a multi-modal approach to help us move through the chaos that life can bring.

![Grief is unpredictable. It doesn't necessarily wait for a good time. It can show up in a grocery store, in a meeting, on a walk, mid-sentence, whenever a grief cue shows up.
When the wave hits and we get sucked up in the memory, in the loss... Orienting to the present could help the wave pass over.
Orient to the surroundings, to your feet, to your breath. Take 10 seconds or a minute or longer if you have the time and space. But in all of this, remember to give yourself grace. Give yourself some ground to stand on as you go through it.
Lots of love,
Maitreyi 💜✨

![Grief doesn't move in a straight line. But for some reason, we still keep trying to make it fit into a straight line. Why?
Maybe because the 5 stages model of grief got so popular that we forgot that it was meant as a framework for people who were at the end of their life and not for people who were grieving their lost loved ones.
Grief is more like waves, isn't it? Sometimes stormy, sometimes gentle. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's very very loud.
The only thing true about grief is that there's no real finish line. There's only a 'Before Loss' and an 'After Loss'. You just learn different ways of carrying it.
So here's a reminder today if you're feeling like you're behind some hypothetical 'healing grief' schedule... Remember that grief is like riding the waves in the ocean. You are just learning how to surf.
Lots of love,
Maitreyi 💜✨
