Maya Burlingame Schultz is a Marriage and Family Therapist and former educator with over 20 years’ experience working with complex systems. After leaving a teaching career that was designed around Systems Theory, she became an entrepreneur. During this time, she worked with many non-profits and startups, quickly learning how many of these end up functioning much like dysfunctional family systems. She also started a fundraising ATM company that is still running strong. After receiving her Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2014, she had a family therapy practice until taking time off after giving birth to her daughter. Having been part of multiple blended family households, she not only has firsthand experience, but is also passionate about helping blended families create a paradigm shift that helps them create harmony out of the chaos. Maya is currently living in her blended family household in Boulder, Colorado with her husband, Nathan, daughter Annabelle (3.5), and bonus daughter Olivia (19).
