Why Do You Need Help?  |  Initial Consultation Package  |  My Services  |  What My Clients Say


Have you said, I don’t know if I can do this?

When our life situation changes, we often find ourselves overwhelmed, not knowing where to turn, what to do next. What we took for granted – our routine, help with tasks, even sleep – is in question. We need to rediscover the confidence in ourselves to balance our lives. Like riding a bicycle, we may be out of practice, but we have the ability. Perhaps in our relearning, it would be more comfortable if someone held the handlebars till we got going.


Why do you need help?

It is difficult to think clearly and creatively at a time of transition and stress. Sometimes someone else can be more practical about our situation, to think outside the box, to remind us of the rich network we may never have needed to tap into.


Why Call Maggi?

I can help you identify the new structure of your life and to start thinking in a way that maximizes your resources. The result is more time and energy devoted to your children, your business, your art, the joy in your life, and less time worrying about making sure you don’t drop the pieces.

I am a freelance writer, visual artist, and consultant to individuals and small businesses. I helped launch two biotech companies, but when I resigned from my last managerial position, I took with me the skills that helped me succeed in the corporate world: organization and communication skills; the ability to see the big picture while also being extremely detail-oriented!

Tesserae, (Latin for mosaic) applies to shards of ceramic tile and to the pieces of our lives. It’s all about “putting it all together” in new, functional, pleasing ways.


Initial Consultation Package Includes:
  • Phone conversation to meet each other, assess your needs, our fit. (no charge if we stop here.)
  • Initial visit in your home or office to see the “lay of the land” (up to 1 hour)
  • Research options, make recommendations, develop a plan.

Initial fee: $75
Hourly rate, thereafter: $30

Take the first step! Call me today -- let’s talk. There is no obligation.


MY SERVICES - tailored to meet your needs, whatever they are. One-time or ongoing. You’re in charge!

What Do My Clients Say?

“During my divorce I felt nervous, overwhelmed, inert. Tasks which I had shared (or were done for me) were now my sole responsibility, and I didn't know if I could handle them, or if I even WANTED to. You helped me see that I could have a plan, and could get the help I needed without paying a fortune.

“I felt incapacitated. You helped get me going again on a new and exciting and empowering path. You don't do it for us - you help us see we can do it ourselves!”

“During my transition, I often questioned my ability to cope ‘alone’. But you reminded me we are not alone - we have tremendous resources. You helped me identify them, some which were a big surprise to me.”
