Private somatic advisory for senior women executives
Lead With Presence, Not Pressure.
Your nervous system has already decided before strategy gets a vote.
When the stakes rise, even highly capable leaders can become reactive,
over-controlled, accommodating, or disconnected from their authority.
I work at the level beneath strategy—where those patterns are formed.
Identify
Where authority
leaks.
Map the exact patterns your system runs under pressure. What triggers reactivity – urgency, defensiveness or withdrawing.
build
Capacity that
holds.
Your nervous system stops reading pressure as threat. What used to destabilize you becomes tolerable, then unremarkable.
choose
Response from regulation.
In the moment that used to run you, there is now space. The gap between reactivity and your next move widens enough to lead from.
lead
From a different
ground.
Embodied authority becomes your baseline. Presence holds without effort. Decisions don’t accelerate under pressure.
Ways We Work Together
I work privately with a limited number of senior women executives at a time. This is not a volume coaching practice, a leadership course, or a resilience programme. It is private somatic advisory — the structural work of forming embodied authority in the body, at the layer executive education and leadership coaching cannot reach.
Deep, confidential work for women whose level of responsibility makes the cost of staying in old patterns too high.
TWO ENTRY POINTS INTO THE WORK:
1:1 Coaching
C.A.L.M. PRESENCE UNDER PRESSURE
90-min embodied leadership intensive
A private intensive for one situation where pressure is currently affecting how you lead.
We work with what is happening now—so you can see the pattern, interrupt it, and shift how you meet the pressure in real time.
You leave with a somatic practice you can return to when similar pressure arises again.

1:1 Coaching
L.E.A.D. FROM REGULATION NOT PROTECTION
4-month leadership advisory engagement
We work with the recurring patterns that shape how you lead under pressure.
We reorganize how your system responds, so embodied authority becomes the ground from which you lead.
Supported by a personal regulation framework built around the specific patterns your leadership runs.

Transformation here is
not incremental.
It is structural.
before:
Holding it together.
- Performing confidence while bracing inside
- Recovery time after hard days keeps lengthening
- Thinking your way through patterns held in the body
- Shrinking in rooms you’ve already earned
- More discipline, more effort — same ceiling
AFTER:
Leading from the body.
- Grounded before the meeting begins
- Boundaries that hold without defense
- Presence others feel — without effort from you
- Authority that no longer costs you to carry
- Decisions that stay sound when the timeline compresses
About me
Hi, I’m Maja. I hold a PhD in Organizational Sciences, and am a former head of department at 27 in a defense and research institution, with twenty years of leadership formation across academia, research, and somatic practice. I do not work from theory — I rebuilt my own leadership from the ground up after a brain injury, and discovered that six months of somatic work delivered what six years of cognitive approaches could not. That is what makes my somatic advisory precise, embodied, and built for real pressure.
The space is discreet, structurally precise, steady, and without judgment.
The women I work with leave with a different relationship to pressure — where authority holds, and their presence no longer comes at a cost.”
