About Maya Vida

Maya Vida is a blending of cultures, ideas and methods of approaching life. Maya means illusion in Sanskrit, reminding us that we are here to be delivered from the unreal to the real; to connect, not separate and Vida is life in Spanish. This expression represents two ancient healing systems that are complimentary and reveal how indigenous cultures can teach us to align more synergistically with the natural world. When we live in harmony with nature, we are in touch with the sacred energy that moves though each and every one of us. By being one with the seasons, the animals, and one another, we remember who we truly are–Divine.

About Adrianne Read

Holistic Therapist, Founder Maya-Vida

A serious car accident turned out to be a not so subtle message from the universe to change my life course. I found myself parting ways with a previous career and on a new path, immersed in nature and all of its resources. Before long, I developed a regime of getting outside, moving my body, yoga, Ayurveda, and plant medicine. As I researched alternative methods of wellness and indigenous healing practices, I discovered an unlimited wealth of natural healing from Mother Earth and ultimately within myself.

Nature’s rhythm has always been my teacher when I take the time to listen. In the process of reconnecting to nature,  I gained a deeper, fuller understanding of who I  really am, uncovering the layers preventing me from  my true self. I believe there’s a way home for all of us when we can step outside and realize that we are nature and have all the medicine we need inside of us.

My calling and mission is to help people return to a time of sanctity, ritual, and connection with the natural world and one another. By sharing what has taken me decades to uncover, I hope I can show you an easier, softer way that goes beyond just surviving. Together we can thrive and become part of a movement that heals and connects humanity to this absolutely magical planet we live on–what a gift.
