Maz is committed to breaking negative generational cycles in everyday women, role-modelling that change is not only possible, but can be pivotal, quick, ever-lasting and be worth it. Maz provides women with the tools to heal, thrive, and create a lasting legacy of empowerment.
Why were you inspired by the creation of the Creatrix® program, and how does it specifically address the unique needs of women compared to traditional personal development methods?
As a trainer of leaders of women for more than a decade, it troubled me that so many women struggled to move on from past insecurities, regardless of how much they wanted to succeed. I noticed women reverted more than men and neither men nor women noticed it was predominantly women who struggled to sustain even the best personal development, regardless of how long they’d been at it. Leaders felt like imposters because they were hiding the fact that they personally struggled to maintain self belief, but dare not show it on the outside, which made their self-doubt worse. They’d assume that if it didn’t stick for them, they must be the problem, unaware it was common amongst women. It’s like the best-kept secret in the personal development world.
It was a mirror to my own past in generational struggles—patterns of abuse and trauma that had been passed down for generations, I could see a bigger issue that mere self esteem in women, I saw that if they didn’t heal or have some sort of drastic shift like I’d had, that they’d revert to the insecurities that were just too deeply rooted.
I would have been happy if I didn’t have to create something myself, so it’s not really something I set out to create, but I did set out to make it my business that if it exists I’ll find it, and because I couldn’t find anything that did cut through deep enough to stick for this large percentage of women.
I spent 30 years of my life without any self-esteem, merely surviving, believing I was the chewing gum under shoes, to leading as an authenticity LeadHERship trainer for decades now, ensures I empathize with the plight of successful leaders and everyday women who want to break cycles, not just feel empowered or heal sporadically or temporarily.
My childhood is many women’s stories, sadly. I was raised by young parents with their own issues, from their own childhoods, as their parents had been, destined while passing on what they had to for the issues to be passed on through the generations. Feeling insignificant is common for women, but it’s roots are bloodline-deep if you zoom out and take a look. No matter what anyone said, I was convinced something was inherently wrong with me and that I was born to suffer. My mother did too, as hers did. I considered myself the cycle breaker, yet STILL it played out and patterns continued. Just wanting to change wasn’t enough for it to actually change.
I was first introduced to a slither of light when I stumbled on a book called You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay in a women’s shelter. That was my first glimmer of hope. The concept that I could forgive or that healing was even possible was entirely foreign to me. I thought I’d have to live a long life of emotional suffering and mental torment. This book planted the seed of personal development in my mind, though I did not come from a spiritual or religious background.
My own family’s history of violence was horrific. My great-grandmother endured unimaginable torment at the hands of a violent man. My mother suffered the same fate. I, too, faced multiple instances where guns were pointed at me by different men. And despite all my efforts to shield my children, my own daughter experienced a gun held to her face during a bank robbery. The realization that this cycle was persisting under my watch was devastating to me, the black sheep who’s watch it would never happen under..
Determined to break these generational patterns, I immersed myself in research. I studied every personal development methodology, earned countless certifications, and became a trainer in multiple modalities. But none of it provided the lasting transformation I sought. The existing methods worked for some, but not for all—especially not for women who carried deep-rooted generational trauma.
The self-development industry had been designed primarily by and for men. I realized this when joining the dots, that women’s unique emotional and psychological wiring required something else entirely—something that addressed their generational conditioning and subconscious barriers in a way that traditional methods could not.
So I set out to create that solution, that would return them to wholeness and stick. I didn’t do it because I wanted to; I did it because I had to. Women deserved a breakthrough that would finally free them from inherited pain and self-doubt. And I was determined to find it.
The Creatrix® process is described as utilizing epigenetics to address intergenerational patterns and ancestral trauma. Can you explain how this scientific approach is integrated into the healing methodology?
When I began connecting the dots in my journey, I discovered epigenetics. It resonated with me profoundly—Through extensive research and deep contemplation, I identified a crucial missing piece that seemed to be needed for females specifically. I sought insight from various experts, proposing my hypotheses to esteemed teachers. However, time and again, I was met with skepticism or outright dismissal. It was disheartening, but it only strengthened my resolve when I realised I really was alone in understanding the design element that must be different in all modalities if they were to sustain results in females.
Historically, psychology was created through separating the mind from the rest of us—which inherently means solutions are created, not ensuring all angles of perceptions are covered (towards self and outwardly, consciously and unconsciously, spiritually, and physically), and comes from a fundamental belief system that we are predominantly one part more so, than the rest of what makes us whole.
Over time, different modalities emerged, some emphasizing spirituality, others advocating for personal development—urging people to set goals, take action, and maintain consistency. Yet, despite these efforts, something fundamental always seemed to be missing. All of which was conceptualised by male brains, and therefore assuming that we all function the same way, even if it’s seeing as one part being more important than the rest. They struggled to fathom the layers being female would add into the equation, so the answer was not going to come from industry and professional indoctrination.
My search led me to the work of Karen Michelle, an extraordinary epidemiologist specialising in epigenetics. She introduced me to the concept of intrauterine transference, which profoundly reshaped my understanding. Much of the epigenetic research we take as gospel was not necessarily conducted with a holistic lens; rather, data was gathered and interpreted through specific, limited frameworks. However, Michelle’s perspective illuminated a deeper truth—within the female lineage, there exists a biological “engine room” of epigenetics, a core system responsible for carrying forward genetic imprints.
This realization was a turning point. I knew I needed to develop a bloodline-clearing method—one that moved beyond conventional timeline-based approaches. Women, after all, do not follow a linear trajectory; our inheritance is not a simple line but a vast and interconnected network of ancestral memory. I recognized the power of metaphor as a means to communicate with this deep, unconscious intelligence. By constructing metaphors that spoke directly to this ancestral imprint, I devised a method that could access the wisdom stored within the bloodline unconsciousness, that’s job was to ensure we re-created bloodlines. That’s the role of a female.
My personal wake-up call came in the most dramatic way that had spun me around on a dime, breaking my own generational patterning, but at the time I didn’t realize how much it was the ‘moment’ of my pivot that others wanted to have.
I suffered a collapse, experiencing my first epileptic seizure inside a phone booth by the roadside. We were relocating, fleeing yet again, this time into emergency housing in a town that was selected due to how far it was away, being a 9 hour drive, so being in an old car that was renowned for breaking down, I reached the half way mark so was calling my mother to share that we were safe and en route.
Suddenly, I found myself on the ground. For a brief, surreal moment, time stood still. There was no sound, only silence. I watched my children moving in the car, saw our dog, yet everything was frozen in slow motion. It was as if the universe had paused, offering me a stark ultimatum: If you continue down this path, you will die. If you do not change, your children will suffer the consequences. What are you going to do? My faculties hadn’t come back into body and truth was all I got to know. If it was to be it was up to me, even though I had no plan, no idea how to change, but that brief bleep moment was a truth slap I needed, that felt optimistic at the same time, enough to shock me out of the patterns.
That moment transformed everything. I was going to change myself and do whatever that that took. So when creating Creatrix®, my experience of having had such radical, fast and lasting change from my own natural wake up call, I knew firstly that it was possible, and that true healing must be filterless—free from conditioned thought, unbound by time, and without input from others, because it’s only the person who has the experience of learning what they uniquely need to learn, no matter what we think others need to learn. It had to bypass cognitive reasoning, bloodline deep trauma events and speak directly to the body’s innate knowing. I began piecing together a system that allowed the unconscious to take the lead, enabling a profound reconnection with one’s lineage ‘unconscious mind’ in a way that was both scientific and deeply intuitive.
At its core, this work acknowledges that we are not merely individuals—we are bloodlines, carrying forth the experiences and wisdom of our ancestors. The most profound revelation came from understanding that, as females, we do not merely inherit from one or two generations. Biologically, we exist in a continuum that never dies. A woman carries all the eggs she will ever have while she is still in her mother’s womb—meaning that, at one point, we were fully formed within our grandmothers. Whatever she experienced, we too bathed in those same biochemical imprints, likewise did she.
With this knowledge, I knew that traditional healing approaches were insufficient. A true transformation required more than just shifting thoughts, beliefs, or energy—it had to fundamentally rewire the perception of self, lineage, others and the future. Over years of refinement, this work has evolved into a process of returning to wholeness.
Ultimately, this method does not impose healing but instead allows each woman to access her own wisdom well, beneath what’s keeping her stuck or small. I do not claim to have the answers. I do not dictate what a woman must experience. Instead, I (or one of my trained Transformologists) help them access the intelligence within her own body’s mind, how to step outside of linear constraints, and how to engage in a process that transforms not only her but the generations before and after her.
The shift that occurs is profound—it does not just heal the individual, but fundamentally alters the framework through which she perceives herself, her ancestry, and her future. This is not about separation. It is about integration and simply enquiring and surrendering to that which does know our entire true story, the whole bloodline at once. It is about recognizing that we are not just one—we are all, simultaneously connected through blood, spirit, and time.
What would you describe as your ultimate mission?
This process is something I guard fiercely because it is so pure—capable of returning any generation of ours in the future, back to wholeness and their original design, so I’m being led right now, to create a new way for women to be set free, that could decongest the system we know of today, that can roll out globally, and I’m calling these places of healing Limitlessness Wisdom Gaining Schools. You don’t come here to get a certificate as if this is a modality of choice like choosing a flavour of chocolate. It’s for women ready to move on who don’t want to have to constantly be working on themselves, in full responsibility to do what they’re intuitively led to in decisions and choices afterwards.
It’ll be run only by women who’ve needed it themself, providing a safe zone for women, in a caring cocoon of a Zoom online supervised set of ‘rooms where they come for 1:1 self-transformational Creatrix® sessions to set themselves free.
Facilitators who deliver it, will become the leaders of this. Everyday women helping everyday women. We won’t need professionals, we’re just women helping ourselves and paying it forward. I have trained women in Creatrix® in 24 countries, and now with a more equitable redesign of the model, it will be the gift for girls and women as it becomes ‘the way’ for women to relieve emotional and mental pain.
At the heart of my mission is setting the little girl in every woman free and bringing harmony to this planet. I believe true transformation will come when women deeply understand themselves, when men understand women, and when both can meet each other with clarity and respect. Limitlessness® is now expanding to include a section dedicated to men—helping them understand women and, in turn, fostering greater harmony between the sexes. What we are doing is simple but profound: we are making women whole again. That’s our sole focus. We don’t coach in the traditional sense; we provide a framework for re-perceiving—a shift in perspective that leads to remarkable transformations. That is Creatrix® and it’s a gift for all of us.
This mission is taking me around the world. I’m heading to Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, and beyond, with some significant plans in motion to bring Limitlessness to women everywhere. In June, I’ll be a keynote speaker at the Annual Global Mental Health and Wellness Awards, addressing a room representing 70 countries. Many of the attendees will be men, spanning a vast array of cultures. My message to them will be clear: Let’s come together, honour our natural wholeness, and restore harmony—first within women, then extending to men, and ultimately to the entire planet. Because more than anything, I do not want future generations—our grandchildren—to endure the struggles we have.
This is about something greater than us. It’s about healing the collective, one re-perception at a time.
