Maz, can you tell us about your story and how you got to where you are now?
I feel like I have lived several lifetimes just in this life alone. To try and shorten my story, in a nutshell, I was born into poverty in the Philippines, came to Australia just before I turned 5, was molested at 6 years old, and found myself on the streets at 14 sleeping on park benches. That same year I was drugged and sexually attacked by several men where the doctors declared me dead. I still remember my out of body experience. Even though back then I was suicidal, it wasn’t my time, and little did I know that I was here for a bigger reason.
From there I turned to alcohol and drugs finding myself stuck in a cycle of toxic and abusive relationships. I struggled making ends meet working many part time jobs and sometimes 7 days a week, still struggling to pay the bills. I guess that’s what led me into the world of stripping, mixing with all the wrong type of people. At 19, I was kidnapped by men that said they were pirates, and no one even knew I was missing.
That’s only a small part of my story. It’s hard to believe that used to be my life. I feel like my life should be a movie. However, because of my upbringing, I spent most of my 20s in chaos, drugs, alcohol, and riddled with unhealed trauma. Life had always been a struggle for me, and I could never understand why other people had it easier. I was dabbling in the world of manifestation for several years and one day, it all clicked.
My vision board I had created from several years before, came into fruition and then I created a second vision board which all came into fruition within a year!
That’s why I do what I do now. I am so passionate about helping others that are stuck in mindsets and situations I once was in. I help people quantum leap and save them what could have taken them years, if not decades to do on their own.
How do you help your clients get their results and what methods do you use?
I work with the conscious and subconscious mind, while also working with their energetic and physical body. I incorporate breathwork and energy healing into all my coaching and teachings.
Sometimes clients passed loved ones come through and share messages. Even though I am a certified reiki Master and energy healer, what I do is mostly channelled and wasn’t taught. I am guided by spirit and my intuition. I just allow whatever needs to come through happen and always for the highest good.
Can you share some success stories from clients or examples of their experience and transformation working with you?
I have many testimonials and have witnessed many people have mind blowing transformations. However just recently I was nominated for the “Best Spiritual Leader” award and everything that has been said in their nominations has literally blown my mind even more. It’s crazy how we don’t realise just how much of an impact we can make in another’s life.
I also have many clients who in just one session or attending one of my events or retreats, have gone and completely turned their lives around, manifesting their desired homes, careers, partners, and even pregnancy. I’ve had clients who have suffered from serious health issues and diagnosis, to now feeling healthier, happier, and receiving positive scan results.
Many who have started working with me were lost in life, not knowing their life purpose and within a short time, now working in their purpose and making moves in their passions. It seriously lights me up watching people shift and transform right before my eyes! It is truly the greatest honour.
Everyone who has gone through my coaching program have all said that they are the happiest they have ever been in their lives and no longer reactive or triggered easily, having a greater sense of awareness and many also having their own intuitive gifts activated through the healings they experience.
What have you manifested so far on your journey?
Where do I start?! I have manifested so many things big and small! To name a few, I went from overweight party girl to landing a feature in Oxygen Magazine US and becoming a sponsored bikini competitor with the Pro team Australia.
I had only officially completed grade 8 yet am now an author and have been published and featured in major publications, newspapers, radio, podcasts, and TV around the world.
I went from broke and struggling to 6 figures working in the same job, and also manifested 6 figures in my first year full-time in business, being able to help others heal and transform, working my soul purpose doing what I love.
Now that you have manifested two vision boards, have you got a third? If so, what are you now manifesting.
I sure do! I used to keep my manifestations to myself only sharing with a small group of close friends but now I am so confident in the Law of Attraction and the manifestation process that I am now making my third more public so that people can witness the journey and see for themselves how manifestation is so real.
I am on my way to manifesting multiple 7 figures as I still have family in the Philippines struggling. Some living in homes patched up with newspapers and magazines. I want to help them. I also want to retire my parents as they are in their 60s and working on a farm. It isn’t sustainable for their bodies, and both aren’t in the best state of health.
I want to bring healing to the less fortunate in southeast Asia as they don’t have access to the same tools and services that we have. Lastly for my own personal manifestations, I just want to be abundant, living my purpose, travelling the world making amazing memories and meet the man for me who shares the same values and vision, so we can experience this magical, wild ride of life together. I know in my heart all of my manifestations will arrive in perfect divine timing.
What are your future business plans?
As I have been booked out for almost 3 years straight, I decided to create the Phoenix Rising Academy to be able to help more people and maximise my time. Currently, I’m in the process of expanding the Phoenix Rising Academy globally to awaken even more humans on this planet so they too can live in alignment and tap into their divine gifts and power. Everyone deserves to feel at peace. Everyone deserves to thrive.
I am also bringing retreats overseas, the first one in Vietnam which is in November, the next is Bali in February 2024. After that, who knows what country is next and where the wind takes me. I think I have cried in happiness at the end of every retreat and I can only see them getting better.
I have also started to mentor and teach others my modalities so that they too can help others have transformational shifts. I have in fact created a new modality and will be launching the first facilitator retreat May next year, there are already people who have booked and paid in full ready to go. There is so much goodness yet to be had in the future and I’m excited to be on this journey!
Can you share a piece of advice that can help our audience on their journeys?
We all have the ability to tap into a higher power and access universal wisdom. Listen to the nudges, they start subtle at first but the more we listen to them and take inspired action, the louder those nudges become. What was once a whisper will then become conversations with the universe.
Our intuition and higher beings are always guiding us, it’s just up to us to choose to listen. If we can learn to hear the messages from the universe and learn to work with our higher selves, magic really does happen.
