Relationship Advice Expert

Maia Berens is the online Relationship Coach, expert and author. She has been successfully telephone coaching for over 10 years, and knows what it takes to do relationship coaching on the phone having coached countless people to improve their life and develop long-term successful relationships.

 

Not only does she have her own long-term successful relationship of 23 years, but she gained extensive experience by working and collaborating for over 18 years with the world famous relationship author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, John Gray. Working with John was a great jumping off point to help her understand exactly how to help you create the confidence in yourself and turn it into the successful relationship you want.

 

Recently she helped a man clarify his thoughts and gain confidence to speak his truth to a woman he was dating. His first attraction was great but things about her started surfacing that didn't suit him.

 

In the past he would have gone on with the relationship until it fell apart in a negative, dramatic way. Instead they are now seeing each other just once a week and taking it slower. He feels empowered and she doesn’t feel hurt and upset by his "going into his cave". Maybe this relationship will work out in the long run but even if it doesn't he now knows the importance of self-responsible communication and having support while learning these tricky relationship skills.

 

"The last 6 months working with Maia has been the most effective personal development work I’ve ever done. And I’ve been doing this kind of work for 10 years! The Pumpkin Coaching experience has taught me to gain new perspectives and replaced the critical voice in my head. Maia will go to any lengths with her desire to help. She's running a business but I never feel like she's running a business. I knew we were an immediate fit as soon as we spoke. Her sincerity and authenticity just shines through." Keith Frank, Las Vegas NV

 

She supported a woman who's been married four times unsuccessfully to find the relationship of her dreams. She no longer sees herself as having to settle for less. She is learning how to tell her partner what is truly going on in a loving and powerful way.

 

Another woman has begun the relationship of her dreams. She finally learned the secrets of attraction and self-confidence and is headed towards a lifetime of happiness with her man.

The Old Cinderalla Story

 

You know the story. Wealthy, loving, widowed dad meets gold-digging woman. Dad marries women and brings her and her two less than lovely daughters to live in manor. Dad dies and leaves less than loving step-mother in charge of all three daughters. Step-mother is jealous of natural daughter's inner and outer beauty and treats her like a servant.

 

One day the prince plans a ball that he wants all young women in the kingdom to attend and at which he will choose a princess. Step-mother will not provide clothes for the natural daughter and locks her in the house the night of the ball.

 

Along comes Cinderella's Fairy God Mother and with her Magic Wand, provides Cindy with a beautiful dress, glass slippers and turns a pumpkin into a pumpkin coach. You certainly know the rest.

The Real Scoop

Imagine this story as a metaphor for change. Growing up as she did – criticized, belittled, unloved – Cinderella wore her old raggedy self and felt unworthy of fulfilling her real purpose here on Earth (OK. OK. It is a bit pre-feminism to think her real purpose is to marry the Prince. But play along.)

 

Along comes her Fairy God Mother, waves her Magic Wand and outfits her in the accoutrements of real self esteem - enough to make her beauty recognizable to her real purpose.

 

That Fairy Godmother just waved her magic wand. We will create magic but you will have to do some work. If you are willing, the results will be the same.

 

The Pumpkin Coach

One day recently I was explaining to my husband my dilemma of conveying to an internet audience what it is I do without sounding too general or too hokey. I had thought of a few names but they just didn't do it. When I said what I do has to do with change and transformation out popped "The Pumpkin Coach" from his mouth.

 

The Synchronicity

Now here's the synchronicity: a few years ago I wrote my first book. It's called Once Upon a Time There Was You: Three Magic Secrets to Finding Your Real Self. In it not only will you learn Three Magic Secrets that will permanently change your life but there is a WISE FAIRY GOD MOTHER. At many of the workshops I've led after reading the story part of the book to the group, looking at my silvery hair and experiencing the wisdom that I teach, I've been told often enough that I am the Wise Fairy God Mother. I've been told it so often, I have a Magic Wand I bring to workshops.

So The Pumpkin Coach it is and The Pumpkin Coach it stays.
