At 15-years-old, Maya was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic irritable bowel disease. She was in constant debilitating pain, but it is the technique of visualisation – retraining your brain so you can take control of the way you think, feel, and perform – that helps her to power through it. She went on to build the foundations for her career, leading her Young Enterprise UK team to win the 2015 Young Enterprise competition while completing her A Levels. The team created a sturdy yet stylish water bottle, the ‘Sip-O-Sack’, which features a snack container. She followed this with the role of Corporate Law Intern for Memery Crystal LLP, and by 2017, had graduated from the University of Bristol with an MSci Geography with Innovation, in addition to receiving a Santander Innovation Scholarship. From there, she took on the role of App Designer for the Dove Self Esteem Project at Unilever, and then Innovation Consultant roles for B24/7 and nowhere Group Ltd, President at Enactus, and Innovation Team Member at Landsec. 

In 2020, she joined the Young Entrepreneur podcast as a co-host,and this was the year she co-founded Remap, utilising more than 10 years of brain training experience and her background in innovation and business development to share her journey and the power of visualisation. She works with global brands, training individuals to rewire their thinking to reduce negativity, become more resilient, and enjoy optimum wellness and performance. In 2024, she delivered her TEDx talk, Why Mental Fitness is the New Mental Health, and in 2025, published her book, Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1%.
