About me

My name is Maimu, and I'm the founder of Deep Rest Therapy.

​

Deep rest for me is about making space to land in the here and now and to really listen to our bodies. To slow down and breathe. We are so much caught in our heads, our thoughts, and in the busyness of the everyday. But true answers often come when we finally allow ourselves to fully relax and get out of our heads. Our bodies hold so much tension and trauma but also immense knowledge. For me, combining sound therapy with reiki is a wonderful way to reconnect with myself and really listen and heal. I hope it can do the same for you.

​

I have been practicing reiki since 2016 when I received my Level 1 and Level 2 certificates from Christine Brække (founder of Reikiklinikken in Oslo). I also hold a Level 1 certificate in Integral Sound Healing with Tuning Forks and Tibetan Singing Bowls from the Academy of Sound Healing, and a 200-Hour Yoga TTC from Om & Flow Yoga. In 2023, I learned about intuitive music and movement from Jeela in Mexico.

​

In 2024, I became a certified Sound Medicine Therapist, completing a 100-hour sound medicine training in Mexico with Rene Najera (The Medicine of Sound) and Renée Tvedt (Jeela).

​​

In creating Deep Rest Therapy, I have been deeply inspired by the work of Jeff Foster, who is a wonderful teacher of meditation and of finding the sacred in the ordinary.
