More About Me

I'm passionate about

Helping people achieve and maintain optimal health through charity education, coaching and support on detox and embracing a healthier lifestyle.

An idea worth spreading

Our mission with Xy'Maya Nonprofit Organization is to help as many people as we can reach with the "Maya Girl Wellness Project" by providing education about holistic detox and healthier lifestyles and providing superior holistic wellness products to those less privileged and in need.

Our primary focus is to promote and support optimal health through education and holistic wellness products to prevent illness rather than treat it. We strive to reach the general public, orphanages, families, foster care, camps and international villages, etc...

We are dedicated to educate the general public with a direct focus on mothers and children for learning and practicing healthier lifestyles. The knowledge and products can be used to strengthen the well being of family units keeping them together through vibrant health rather than disjointed through disease.

The wellness information learned can be passed down for healthier generations to come.

  Nov 19 2012: Chetan,
  Thank you so much. I appreciate your insight and this info. The re-tweet with the right people is a big one I hadn't even considered because I do not know much about Twitter but I am going to sign up today and start re-tweeting. I am taking notes and creating a list of things to do to create more public awareness and bring in my donations for my org.
  Thank you very much for reaching out from across the world. I love how the internet brings people together from all over.

  Nov 19 2012: I'm self educated Greg. My mother was an herbalist. I took an interest in herbs at an early age and she started teaching me. I have studies wellness on my own over 22 years. I have taken many courses a long the way and studied under the biggest names in the holistic industry.
  
  When I was little if I got sick I would not get nightquil, I would get a strong shot of Valerian tea, we ate bee pollen to boost immune. During my high school years I lived in a cabin in the mountains and learned about edible plants, wild edible flowers, wild garlic, onions, potatoes and fungus's that grow just about everywhere we are and ate them plentifully.
  
  There is a good focus on herbs although mostly for detox purposes. My main focus is achieving and maintaining optimal health through detox, eating a balanced diet high in nutrition, eating healthy snacks, juicing for health, staying hydrated with the right fluids, getting good supplements, getting proper rest, getting adequate exercise at the level of each individuals ability, and cleansing their hearts and thoughts to find peace within and well being. I feel being well is fully encompassed and all areas need to be lovingly cleansed and reconditioned... body-mind-spirit. I can only help those who are open and willing to help themselves.
  
  Feel free to contact me if your body ever takes a change with your current diet. Thank you for all the great tips!! Wishing you well

  Nov 18 2012: Thank you for asking Greg,
  This is a good question I will make a clearer emphasis on my mission statement at my website. I don't know if you visited my website or how much you read there. My focus is on Physical Health. My mother died of cancer having having been exposed to a toxic chemical. My aim is to help people detox and live a non toxic life to avoid this from happening. Prevent illness rather than treat it. When people face terminal illness their entire family is faced with becoming disjointed.
  
  So will I will be providing
  
  Coaching and education and supplies for detox
  Coaching and education on shopping for and preparing healthier meals
  Meal preparation classes
  Teaching non toxic, natural alternative products we use on our bodies and in our house
  I will provide holistic supplements and nutritional support.
  I will teach plants growing wild for detox and nutrition, equal or better than store bought items for same purpose.
  
  I will be seeking and accepting...
  
  Holistic nutritional products
  Holistic supplements
  Detox herbs
  Detox equipment
  Any goods related to wellness; Kitchen tools such as juicers, blenders, food processors, dehydrators,
  
  These items are to be provided to both individuals and groups,
  
  I would conduct group talks educating people to understand the importance of detox and healthier living so that they can live a joyful live in vibrant health and maintain their family unit through health rather than becoming disjointed through Disease.
  
  Also I have created some healthy snack items that I would like to begin to manufacture to make available to schools, camps, orphanages, etc.. I would like to get my healthy creamy whipped fluffy chocolate mousse into school lunches.
  
  If feel if my mom had access to these things she could have beat her cancer and enjoyed her life and family. I would like to help others so they do not have to face these types of tragedies when they can be avoided.
  
  Thank you for the great leads! I will try them.

  Nov 17 2012: Wow David,
  It troubles me to know so many are still without electricity and modern conveniences. I hope you able to keep warm OK and get a hot shower, meal etc.. Really sorry to hear this.
  
  I understand what it's like to go to bed without electricity and heat after living in the wilderness surviving off the land throughout my high school years. My heart goes out to you. If there's anything I can do to help please reach out.
  
  A lot of people affected by Sandy are placing ads on the funding generating websites like the one I made this evening thanks to your link. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/278685?a=1771799
  It might be worth reaching out for assistance, I'm seeing a lot of people reaching their target goals as Sandy victims are a very high priority right now.
  Take care David, sleep warm.
