The Inner Cave
A space to meet more of yourself

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes"
Marcel Proust
The Inner Cave is a space to meet yourself more deeply.
Beneath the surface live the unconscious patterns that shape how you think, feel, relate, and move through the world. Your body carries the imprint of everything you’ve experienced - and it also holds the wisdom, resilience, and potential for transformation.
When we learn how to truly listen, change becomes possible.
Working together, we gently rebuild from the inside out, using somatic techniques, parts work, energy healing and coaching to cultivate more belonging - in your body, in your sense of self and in your relationships.
Through this process of healing and integration, you can discover new ways of expressing yourself, relating to others, and showing up in your life with greater authenticity and freedom.
Here you are supported
- to return to the wisdom of your body
- to embrace and integrate the many parts of yourself
- to heal trauma and come home to wholeness
- to reconnect with your true self and deeper purpose
- to illuminate shadow patterns and transform challenges
- to live and express yourself more fully and vibrantly
'Trauma is not only what happened to you, but also what was missing. at the time - the absence of safety, attunement, and connection that leaves you disconnected from yourself"
Dr Gabor Mate
How it works
We explore your inner patterns, build the resources that support lasting change, and strengthen your connection to yourself.
Through this process, you learn to embody the care, wisdom, and support you’ve been seeking so you can live and express yourself more fully.

About
Hi, I’m Maxime.
I believe transformation begins when we feel safe enough to truly meet ourselves.
My path into this work was shaped by sudden life changes that led me into a deep journey of self-discovery, healing, and reconnection.
I hold many contradictions within me. I’ve often been perceived as strong, yet I’m deeply sensitive. I’m fiercely independent, yet connection is the thread that guides me in my life and work. I’m drawn to the spaces beneath words - to patterns, dynamics, nature, animals, dreams, and mythology.
I love nothing more than being sung to, sharing stories around a fire, curling up in a tree, or immersing myself in water.
Originally from Botswana, I live in Sussex where I run adventures and re-wilding retreats with Wild Joy as well as a beautiful women's circle called The Hearth.
I am a trained in Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing with The Embody Lab, a certified coach with MOE Foundation, trained nature connection facilitator with Change in Nature and have a first class BA in History of Art from The Courtauld Institute. I've completed an Internal Family Systems Development program with the One Self Institute, worked on year-long ancestral Old Way immersion with WildWise and with artists and the Maasai on Studio Verde's Co-Existence AIR about preserving indigenous wisdom.
At my core, I want to help people belong and to be free.

"Maxime guided me through a coaching session in nature and wow... I met pieces of me I didn't know I carried. She has the most tender yet powerful way of guiding to these pieces that you need the most."
Fred
"The session with Maxime was beautifully surprising for me. I felt able to relax fully into the visualisations as Maxime led them so calmly and thoughtfully, and within them insightful and curious memories and feelings came up that helped me to see things that I usually rationalise in a new, more playful and creative way. I came away feeling encouraged and lighter."
Sarah Jane
"WOWEEE!!!! Maxie you have such a beautiful gifted ability of gentle clear holding within the darker places! Thank you so much for accompanying me on my little/big journey and helping illuminate my path. I highly recommend you!"
