Susanna Maida, Ph.D., CPCC is a life and leadership coach and consultant who loves to support others in creating a life that reflects their deepest inner truth, makes their wild heart sing, and ripples outward in ever-widening circles of life-affirming impact. She combines the theoretical stuff she learned while getting a Ph.D. in Transformative Learning and Change (at the California Institute of Integral Studies) with her training and experience as a coach, a vision quest guide, and a council facilitator and trainer, and then weaves it all together with a profound love of nature.

These days, Susanna works primarily with "culturally creative" and "integrally oriented" leaders who care deeply about the future of our planet and who are yearning to give their gifts, live their calling, and make a meaningful and lasting contribution to the world. She combines indigenous wisdom with modern practices to help leaders of the "Great Turning" contribute to the re-weaving of our world. Susanna brings a delightful blend of deep listening, compassionate yet laser-like insight, lighthearted playfulness, and soulful depth to her work with individuals and groups.
