Hi i’m Maxine, nice to meet you!
I help women fall back in love with life—one breath, one pause, one moment of deep rest at a time.
At The Max Effect, everything I offer—yoga, meditation, retreats, deep rest—is created to help you fall back in love with life. To rediscover the joy in your breath, the softness in your body, and the deep knowing in your soul. Because you were never meant to survive this life you were meant to live it fully, deeply, and with love.
Based in Portsmouth, UK, I’ve spent the past decade guiding others through these powerful practices. At the heart of my work are three pillars: self-care, self-love, and love for life.
These aren't luxuries—they’re lifelines.
