Maya Rose, BSN, RN

I’m an intimacy and relationship coach, psychedelic nurse, sexological body-worker, and cuddle therapist, with 20 years’ experience in ceremony, meditation, psychology, religion, and somatics.

My work is efficient, direct, yet spacious and subtle. I thrive in the bardos, the in-between spaces, the uncertainty and tension that’s required for change. My power lies in my presence, care, humor and penetrating insight—making you feel simultaneously at ease and brave enough to go beyond what you think is possible.

I don’t “give you an experience.”
I amplify what’s between us and what you choose to bring.

My expertise includes:

  • Embodied parts work & shadow work

  • Ancestral and family systems

  • Attachment patterns

  • Sensual bodywork

  • Psychedelic medicine integration and coaching

  • CSA—survivors and perpetrators

As a nurse of 12+ years, I’ve worked in emergency medicine, oncology, hospice, on death row, and in solitary confinement—supporting thousands of people to transform how they think about their lives, bodies, sensuality, relationships, purpose, and health.

My spiritual background includes 15+ years in the Tibetan Buddhist lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, gnostic Christianity, and the shamanic lineage of Carlos Castaneda. My path has led me to undertake multiple initiations such as pilgrimages to my teacher’s monastery in Nepal; Bwiti and iboga in Gabón; darkness immersions in both Guatemala and New Zealand; and participation in various shamanic, somatic, and tantric trainings, including as an assistant with ISTA (International School of Temple Arts).

I work frequently with sacred plants under multiple teachers and am legally certified in the state of Colorado to serve specific medicines.

I continue to do humanitarian work internationally.

FAQs

It’s a rare person who can do this alone

Life is juicy, wild, connected and sexy as hell. And yet it can be overwhelming, confusing, and feel like unending work to lean into the hurt, disappointment, and shame enough to uncover that joy. It can be easy to give up too early.

As an intimacy coach and psychedelic nurse with an extensive background in touch, trauma, erotic fields, and the psychology of change, I have the love, grit and insight to work with everything that comes up on our way to connection.

I’ve done the work

Our thoughts and emotions exist in an infinitely large context—and yet pain is real. Our shadows, attachments and stories are real—and yet they also have much less control over us than they seem to.

I know that nothing in you is broken or unworkable.

I have the unique ability to see the ember in you, ready to be re-ignited into your personal fire. Even in your most stuck moments, you will get underneath what you shy away from, find surprising, juicy intimcy, and have fun doing it!

"I got through parts of myself with Maya Rose that I thought I’d have to ignore forever. She taught me how to receive as a man—something I realized I didn’t actually know how to do even with my wife.”

“Maya’s magic is that she would show up as what I needed, at just the right time—a friend, coach, brother or wild woman... Whatever I needed but didn’t know I needed, she’d become. It let me confront and conquer so many of my demons.”
