ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Maggie Battista. I’m a storyteller, strategist, ritualist, teacher & mentor.
I share stories on the sweetness of life and the magic that unfolds when you listen to your soul.
The soul speaks through an inner voice which is the calm and all-knowing wisdom that surfaces from within when you get quiet and listen. It simplifies complex blocks, holds you through change, connects you to creation energy, and guides your purpose.
My work with the soul’s voice emerged through deep awareness, through traversing the climate of my emotional body, and through a reconnection with my lineage and ancestors, who guided me to the heart opening plant medicine, Ceremonial Cacao, a 100% pure paste prepared to Mayan methods for centuries.
I now weave how to listen to soul, self-love and self-healing practices (like Ceremonial Cacao), with decades of entrepreneurial mastery to help creatives, visionaries, healers, and leaders transcend blocks in order to heal and bring their most authentic selves to work, life, and art.
As I council individuals through everything from organizational shifts, role recalibrations, soul emergence, and all kinds of life transitions, I help you vision unending possibilities, align with your ever-unfolding purpose, and take inspired action from your most integrated self or the soul.
Over the course of my life, I’ve launched some of the first internet start-ups; built engaged communities of millions; designed intentional brands, including an award-winning retail brand; and operated travel & hospitality businesses here and in France. I’ve raised funds for organizations and people in crisis and written two books on nourishment. I have presciently pursued the bleeding edges of new technologies and trends that became essential to a thriving life.
As well, I have dedicated thousands of hours studying and practicing various modalities, some of which have become essential to my paradigm for “soul emergence through self-love” like human design, western astrology, Mayan cosmology, breath work, the lunar cycles, Iyengar yoga, Ceremonial Cacao, and the soul’s voice. I’ve also spent thousands of hours studying and practicing Vedic meditation, conscious awareness, soul center medicine, the gene keys, Ayurvedic cuisine, soul-centered tarot, the Akashic records, ancestral dream study, ancestral reverence, attunement, and all kinds of nourishment. I’ve been writing and telling stories since childhood.
Given my vast experience, I can most certainly act as your marketing advisor or revitalize your brand. And also, individuals and organizations thrive when I offer mentorship with self-love and self-healing practices as a wellness benefit that recalibrates the soul, optimizing humans to center abundance, ease, coherence, and self-trust. And the bonds that emerge through our collaboration make work and life a lot more fun, and a lot more magical.
I bring this style—one that skillfully bridges the ancient with the modern—to all my consulting engagements as it energizes collaborations, companies, and all sweet souls.
I’d welcome the opportunity to bring my services to your venture.

Consulting Offerings
Holistic Mentor
With deep lived experience in the field of soul leadership, I am available and ancestrally guided to support personal, professional, and group transformation. I mentor through the wildness of a start-up and hold coherent space for teams to meet mission-driven outcomes. I know that purpose is an ever-unfolding journey of coming into one’s fullest expression, rather than a stationary point, and I approach all work as art.
Cacao Ritualist
With a decade of lived experience with Ceremonial Cacao, a 100% pure Cacao paste that fosters sensations of love and compassion in the body, I design intentional rituals for your self-healing and receptivity to your soul wisdom. My sessions are for creatives, visionaries, leaders, and healers moving through transformation, wrestling with uncertainty, considering pivots, and interested in bringing their most integrated self to work and life.
Chief Storyteller
A storyteller makes meaning of experiences and reveals parts of themselves to support the collective. I use analytics to assess patterns and understand energy but I make meaning instinctually. Between cookbooks, newsletters, editorial calendars, online courses, retreats & workshops, social captions, influencer collaborations, videos, podcasts, and more, I infuse dynamic energy into messages and engage communities with authentic narratives. I can tell the stories or design them, working with a team to distribute them in the most aligning channels.
Soul Guide
The soul’s voice is the calm and all-knowing wisdom and language that surfaces from within when we get quiet and listen. I help you surface that voice and bring your most integrated self to work and life. Through my stories, reflections, and guidance, you will root into your wisdom and unique soul power. By listening to your soul, you will begin to center abundance, adventure, ease, coherence, and self-trust, and allow soul to lead your life and work.
Marketing Director
I am a Soul Leader who understands emotions and attunes to energy, so I provide strategic guidance that blends with your highest possible expression. I hold coherent space for teams to move through deep change, all with a softer approach. I bring decades of entrepreneurial mastery in retail, hospitality, travel, non-profits, and well-being, and I am particularly helpful during the start-up, research phases, and organizational pivots. Given my rich experience in storytelling, community growth, social media, and branding, I am well versed in telling authentic stories in the digital space.
Creative Director
I’ve guided brands through massive visual shifts, from writing creative briefs and articulating intentions, to working with internal and external teams to design visuals, source photography, and craft style guides. Since I’ve been the creative director for two award-winning books and a leading food retail brand, I can work with your team to design a brand that meets your clients where they are today while anticipating their growing needs and desires.
