For the high-functioning woman with hidden, hormone-driven burnout.
In university, I was exhausted, bloated, and dealing with periods so painful I couldn't function. I was stressed, studying health sciences of all things, and nobody was connecting the dots. Then I walked into a naturopathic clinic for the first time. In one visit, a doctor showed me that everything I was experiencing was linked, not random, not in my head, not something to just push through.
​
That visit changed my life. It's also why I became a naturopathic doctor.
​
I know what it feels like to be dismissed. To be told it's just stress, just hormones, just part of being a woman. I became the doctor I needed back then, and now I'm here for the woman who needs her too.
You're in the Right Place If...
Your labs are normal but you still don't feel like yourself. You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix. Your mood shifts before your period like clockwork. Your digestion is unpredictable. You've been dismissed, handed a prescription, or told to just manage your stress better.
​
You've been looking for someone who will actually listen, and actually look deeper.
​
This is naturopathic care. But not the kind where you pop in a few times and leave with a supplement list. This is the beginning of a journey, one where you start to genuinely understand your body, and your health becomes something you're excited about rather than overwhelmed by.
​
Women leave here and tell their girlfriends. They tell their daughters. Because this feels different. Because it is.
Even When Everything Looks Fine, Something Can Still Be Off
Most women I work with have already been told their labs are normal. They've already tried a few things. They already know something is wrong, they just haven't been shown the full picture yet.
​
Here's what's usually missing: nobody has looked at how everything connects.
​
Your energy, your stress response, your digestion, your hormones...these are not separate problems. They're one system. When that system falls out of sync, you feel it everywhere.
And when we treat it as one system, everything starts to shift.
Is This You?
-
You're exhausted even after a full night's sleep and you don't know why
-
You're in perimenopause and the hot flashes, mood shifts, and sleep disruption are getting harder to ignore
-
You feel burned out. Not just tired, but running on empty in a way that rest doesn't fix
-
You break out before your period or after stopping the pill
-
You feel anxious, irritable, or low in the week before your period
-
You came off birth control and your body hasn't felt right since
-
Your digestion is bloated, sluggish, or completely unpredictable
-
You have painful or irregular periods and want real answers
-
You've been told your labs are normal but you know something is off
-
You want root-cause care, not another band-aid​
​
You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're not making it up. And you're not alone.
My Approach:
The Reclaim Method
A System-Based Approach to Hormones and Energy Balance
You don't have twenty different things wrong with you. You have one system stuck in a loop, and once we find where it started, everything else starts to make sense.
​
Instead of chasing symptoms, we work on the five systems driving them:
​
Stabilize your energy so you stop crashing, craving, and running on fumes by 3pm
Support your digestion so your body can actually absorb what you're giving it and stop the bloating
Calm your stress response so your body can finally shift out of survival mode and into healing mode
Reduce internal inflammation so the brain fog, heaviness, and reactivity start to settle
Rebalance your hormones so everything works together again, naturally
This isn't a rigid protocol. It's a guided, flexible process built around your body, your patterns, and your life.
Every pillar is connected. Treat one without the others and you're back to chasing symptoms. Here's how we do it differently.
Hi, I'm Dr. Maya!
I'm a licensed Naturopathic Doctor based in Vancouver, BC and working with women virtually across British Columbia.
​
I spent years being dismissed by a system that wasn't built to look at the full picture. So I built my own framework, one that treats your body as the connected system it actually is, not a collection of isolated symptoms to manage one at a time.
​
My patients don't just feel better. They understand why they feel better. They know what their body is telling them. They stop being afraid of their symptoms and start being curious about them. That shift, from confusion to clarity, is what this work is really about.
​
I'm not a healer. I'm an initiator. I get women excited about their own health, and that changes everything.
What My Patients Are Saying
Chaufa
"Working with Dr. Maya has been one of the most grounding, validating, and empowering experiences I've ever had when it comes to my health. I came to her after coming off birth control, trying to understand the hormonal changes I was going through and get back in touch with my body and to be honest, I felt pretty overwhelmed and disconnected. From our very first session, I felt seen. If you're looking for a practitioner who will meet you with kindness, treat you like a whole person, and help you truly reconnect with your body, I can't recommend her enough."
Nicole
"Dr. Maya has been so helpful in empowering me and co-creating customized plans for the journey I've been on with my hormones, digestion, sleep, moods and burnout. What I appreciate most is how fun and friendly she is, I feel like I'm talking to my best friend who just happens to be an expert in navigating my health."
Morgana
"I have worked with multiple Naturopaths over the past 10 years, and Dr Maya has been the first to successfully resolve the ongoing health concerns I had been facing. Her knowledge on female hormones has been a game changer, and the approach has been supportive, and gentle, while effective. My primary concern was persistent cystic acne, and it has been fully resolved through an entirely holistic approach."
Sunny
"Dr. Maya's currently supporting me with nervous system regulation, emotional regulation, gut health, my menstrual cycle and moving through some grief symptoms in a much easier way. The natural healing process is taking place with all of her suggestions. Looking forward to meeting the newest version of me. I'm close, and she's awesome."
