Hello, and welcome to my website.
I am Laina Maxwell, author of The Power of Awareness (POA) Course, and I am thrilled that you have come to visit with me. If you are on this site, you must be searching for information on how to reclaim your power. I am honored that you stopped by. Thank you!
I felt I was an average person, who like you, wore many hats; mother of three amazing human beings, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a teacher, a student, a coach, a realtor, a sales rep, a waitress…and the list goes on. But now, I am finally living the life of my dreams, and I choose to no longer label myself!
Like you, I am a Spirit having a human existence….and boy, oh boy, have I been human!
My Spiritual Journey began in 2002, when my mother passed away. After that profound loss, I found myself feeling depressed, scared, empty, sad, lonely, glad she finally died, and then feeling guilty for feeling glad she died. These are just a few of the emotions that clouded my life for several years.
My life began to change when a friend suggested I attend a week long seminar, where I learned that the past does not exist…so now, I could add “confused” to my list! You mean I was crying over something that didn’t even exist? Was I going crazy??? I needed to know, if the past truly doesn’t exist, why was I suffering so much? What kind of joke was God playing on me?
As I began to awaken from living in an unconscious slumber, I went into a four year pursuit of knowledge and attended many courses. I read hundreds of books and participated in numerous group discussions. I signed up for just about every free workshop I could attend…all in search of the “Truth.”
During this search, I thought I was “learning”, but I was actually unlearning most of what I knew about humanity. That, my friends, is called the “dark night of the soul.” Someone with a sense of humor called it the Hero’s Journey. Let me say this: it wasn’t a fun time. My life was unraveling, while I pretended I was keeping it together.
My 16 year marriage was falling apart, my depressed 14 year old daughter had attempted suicide, and I was integrating a newly adopted 7 year old son into our family while he coped with the grief of losing his birth parents, who had succumbed to AIDS. I was also trying my best to ensure that our 6 year old birth son wasn’t feeling ignored as his brother’s and sister’s drama took center stage. In addition, one of the most important friendships of my life was dissolving, and to add a little extra drama for good measure, I was switching careers from stay at home mom to real estate agent…talk about chaos! Thank God I can laugh at all of this now. Life is funny!
Through all of this, my ego was losing its power and my spirit began to soar. It’s still soaring high and proud. Now, I am co-creating a magnificent life, complete with rich relationships, especially with my husband of 20 years, my children, my family, and the friends that supported me through my darkest days. I am also attracting into my life some delicious new friendships. Looking back, I wouldn’t trade a single moment of that journey, because every step of it took me closer to my finding the real ME – my Higher Self. The toughest part was going through this process alone, not having a guide to explain what lay ahead. It would have been much easier had I been guided to understand all of this was for a purpose. The layers of my ego self were being peeled off. The experience became on-the-job-training for me. I was actually learning how to guide others.
I was fortunate to have navigated the rapids without being overturned and drowned. Now I am passionately and humbly inspired to act as a guide for anyone who would undertake the journey of self discovery as a first class passenger rather than as a lonely stowaway.
So, if you want a traveling companion, you are in luck because I want to be your guide!
My dear friends, I was born with a passion to teach. My mission, as a servant leader, is to illuminate the path for those ready to embark on a journey that will lead them to reclaim their magnificence. I have an uncanny ability to gently, but firmly, support people in identifying their ego mind. I empower them to better understand how the ego limits their ability to fully live from the heart.
As you gain awareness of the workings of your mind, you can then heal your childhood wounds, stop your daily drama, embrace the lessons of the past, step into the present, and welcome the amazing being that will emerge to claim its birthright!
As an Avatar Master and a CTI trained Life Coach, I have assisted many clients in achieving their personal transformation by guiding them towards a level of awareness and understanding of how their mind works, so in that space, they finally have the tools with which to create the life they desire.
The POA course is dedicated to all the courageous souls that are ready to embark upon their Hero’s Journey. You inspire me!
I hope by now you know that you are not alone. I am here for you, and I am ready when you are.

You are magnificent…Yes you are!
