Where the identity you desire becomes your new baseline.
LAST LIVE ROUND! FEB–APRIL
The 8-week, full-body shift designed to rewire your nervous system, dissolve survival-based identities at the root, and stabilize the capacity required to hold your big vision.
Because identity doesn’t shift through logic.
It shifts through physiology.
You’re here because you’ve hit a moment where you know the next era of you is not about doing “more”, but about doing it differently.
Most people don’t get stuck because they lack clarity, discipline, or ambition. They’re stuck because their nervous system cannot hold what they want.
You don’t rise to the level of your vision, you fall back to the level of your nervous system capacity.
A State to Create is where that capacity finally expands, and your finally body learns how feel safe while your life gets bigger.
For good.
Have you ever wondered why, despite your ambition, you keep getting pulled into the overthinking-overwhelm loop?
Over 8 weeks, we rebuild the internal systems that quietly run your life:
(01) your nervous system (02) your stress responses (03) your unconscious identity patterns, and (04) your relationship with fear.
Because until your whole state shifts, your creativity, decisions, your vision will always be constrained by survival.
We’re not here to motivate you or give you another mindset tool for your collection. This experience is about teaching your system that it’s no longer under threat, once and for all.
When your system can hold what you want, you stop sabotaging your growth. And you finally create a life that matches your potential.
How?
(01) building real internal safety
(02) expanding your capacity to hold more responsibility, visibility, money, and intimacy
(03) creating from safety instead of urgency, pressure, or collapse
So expansion doesn’t come with that familiar burnout,
and growth doesn’t disappear the moment stress enters the room.
A State to Create
is a nervous-system–first curriculum and protocol for creatives, founders, and vision-led humans whose lives are asking for more capacity than their current internal wiring can support.
I got crystal clear on my vision and what has kept me from reaching it yet.
I signed up for AStC because I found myself repeating old patterns over and over again. I would have all this big ideas, but struggle to actually bringing them to life.
Understanding my nervous system and capacity was the missing piece. Isabel and Maia helped me come to peace within myself, to allow myself being where my feet are and choosing a slower pace without feeling that I am behind. I got crystal clear on my vision and what has kept me from reaching it yet. And I am now able to relax and trust (and enjoy!) the process of getting there.
The practices and tools we learned will stick with me for a long time and I noticed so many shifts within myself - from stronger boundaries, deeper discernment to more capacity for everything life holds in store for me.
Highly, highly recommended.

This program is an activator and a supporting net. You will feel the evolution in every week.
You will very naturally expand your vision and learn to see things differently. The two things I loved the most were: everything I learned about the brain & NS, and the incredible community support.
Maia and Isabel really know how to cultivate a magical space. If you are thinking of joining, let me assure you: it is so worth it! One of the best experiences I’ve had. I’d gladly keep on joining!

If you are thinking of joining, let me assure you: it is so worth it!
One of the best experiences I’ve had.
Where to even begin? Joining A State to Create has been the most profound and transformative journey of my life.
I can hardly describe how much I've changed, the version of me before and the one I am now feel worlds apart : more confident, more aligned, and grounded in self-trust.
At first, I hesitated. I even skipped an edition because I wasn’t sure I wanted to invest all my savings into yet another program… But for the next round, I said: LET’S GO, also thanks to Isabel, who stood by me through every doubt and hesitation.
The magic of Isabel & Maia was a pure and magnetic energy. I felt truly seen, deeply guided, supported in integrating both who I am and who I’m becoming.
If you’re hesitating to join the next session PLEASE DON’T. If you know you need this, offering yourself this experience might just be the most meaningful gift you ever give yourself.

What makes it different
Most programs give you tools to do more.
A State To Create gives you the conditions to become a different version of you, that can achieve more while doing less.
Instead of asking:
“How do I stay consistent?”
We’ll explore:
“What state makes consistency inevitable?”
→
Instead of asking:
“Why can’t I follow through?”
We’ll uncover:
“What is your system protecting you from?”
→
We call this bottom-up identity repatterining.
Body → nervous system → perception → behavior → reality.
Our approach: Bottom–up identity repatterning
Most people try to change their lives from the top down: working only with “the thinking brain” through mindset work, strategy, willpower, or new habits.
Up until now, most of the work you’ve done has relied on a top-down approach. It engages the thinking brain: thought patterns, decision-making, analysis. It’s powerful, but it only reaches one layer of you.
If you’ve ever wondered why the change doesn’t last, why the identity doesn’t quite land, why the vision doesn’t materialize: it’s because top-down work can only take you so deep.
Our approach works bottom-up, using Somatic Experiencing® principles to balance your stress chemistry, restore prefrontal cortex function, and rewire the cognitive systems that govern clarity, emotional regulation, and your ability to hold expansion.
Throughout this experience, we’re using the most transformational tools from both of our worlds (strategy, identity work, and nervous system science) to create change that lands not only in the mind, but in the body.
What we’re doing here is working with the primal systems and biological wisdom that actually drive your choices, your behavior, and your identity. Because lasting transformation requires both the mind and the body.
Think of this as entering your operating system (your hardware) and rewiring it from the inside out, so the system finally runs a different program.
Your future self stops being a concept, and it becomes a neurophysiologically supported state.
This approach is where neuroscience, Somatic Experiencing®, and deep identity work meet to make your next identity not only possible but inevitable.
Clear the Channel
Root the Vision
Expand your Capacity
We bring the body out of threat
so clarity can actually land.
We expand our nervous system capacity so expansion stops overwhelming your system and starts feeling like the new baseline.
The vision is no longer something you think about: it becomes something your body recognizes as safe, familiar, and inevitable.
A State to Create Curriculum
-
Understand how your body actually works.
This is your landing week. We establish a shared language, baseline understanding, and felt sense of how your nervous system actually operates under stress, desire, and expansion. You’ll learn how your neurobiology, internal safety, and capacity shape everything you create.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand your nervous system states and stress responses in real time
Identify survival patterns that quietly run your decisions
Build the foundations of internal safety required for sustainable growth
Create a stable baseline before introducing change
-
Vision isn’t a mindset exercise, it’s a neurological process. In this module, we reframe vision as a state your nervous system must be able to tolerate and organize around, not just imagine.
You’ll learn how to:
Cast a vision your nervous system can actually move toward
Use neuroscience to anchor clarity and direction
Stop collapsing or dissociating when you think about the future
Translate vision into embodied forward motion
-
If your life keeps hitting the same ceiling, this is where we look. Capacity determines how much responsibility, visibility, money, intimacy, and creative output you can hold without burnout or self-sabotage.
You’ll learn how to:
Expand your tolerance for growth without triggering collapse
Recognize where your system hits its limits, and why
Work with stress instead of fighting it
Increase capacity in a way that feels grounded, exactly from where you’re at right now
-
We’re ready to shift gears. We stop trying to “fix” behaviors and instead work with the body-based patterns that shaped them. Shame dissolves when the system no longer needs protection.
You’ll learn how to:
Identify survival-based identity patterns at the nervous system level
Release shame at a somatic level without bypassing or self-blame
Repattern identity from the bottom up (body → perception → behavior)
Create safety for new ways of being to emerge
-
Consistency isn’t a discipline problem, it’s a byproduct of internal safety. This module rewires your relationship with motivation, reward, and follow-through by working directly with your neurochemistry.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand why consistency collapses under pressure
Reset dopamine-driven urgency and burnout cycles
Build oxytocin-based safety and sustainable motivation
Create rhythms that support long-term creation, not spikes and crashes
-
Thoughts don’t change because you tell them to: they change when the nervous system shifts state. This module focuses on altering the quality of thought by completely changing the internal narrative.
You’ll learn how to:
Shift thinking patterns through physiology, not force
Reduce mental noise, looping, and over-analysis
Create clearer, more spacious cognition under stress
Rewrite internal narratives in a way that actually sticks
-
Integration is where most transformation fails. This final module ensures your new state doesn’t disappear when life gets real. We focus on stabilization, expanded capacity, and long-term embodiment.
You’ll learn how to:
Sustain a state to create as responsibility and complexity increase
Hold expansion without reverting to old survival patterns
Maintain creative output from safety, not pressure
Anchor your new identity as a lived baseline, not a peak state

(and yours can be as tangible)
How it works:
Weekly Theory Classes + Live Q&A
Tuesdays, 3–4:30pm EEST (90 min, 6 total)
Each week, we gather live for a 60-minute curriculum class with Isabel and Maia, followed by 30 minutes of live Q&A. These sessions ground the conceptual framework and give you direct support as the work lands in real time.
Thursdays, 3–4:30pm EEST (90 min, 6 total)
On Thursdays, you’ll join a Somatic Experiencing® session with Isabel, designed to integrate the week’s material into the body. This is where insight becomes embodied, and your nervous system learns to actually hold the change.
Weekly Somatic Sessions with Isabel
Not homework
Each week comes with a protocol, not an assignment. These practices are designed to be lived (versus “completed”) incrementally expanding your capacity, reshaping your neurobiology, and stabilizing the new state you’re creating from.
Weekly protocols
Direct access to Isabel and Maia for ongoing support
Throughout the 8 weeks, you’ll have direct access to Isabel and Maia inside the community platform to ask questions, get eyes on what you’re navigating, and receive guidance as things arise.
You’ll also be inside a room of people doing this work alongside you, fundamentally shifting your relationship with accountability, momentum, and co-regulation.
ASTC Private Community
Of all course materials + replay portal
You’ll retain access to the full curriculum, all class recordings, protocols, and resources for 6 months after A State to Create ends, so the work can continue integrating long after the live container closes.
Continued access
Don’t think twice, just say yes! AStC is a catalysing container for whatever reason you’re coming here for.
As an online creator and psychotherapist in training, I was searching for a community that is able to blend authenticity and spirituality seamlessly in this modern age. And this community provided that and more but it also provided a safe space through the facilitators and members to show up as we are and to allow us ask whatever wild questions we had.
It was such an empowering space to be because truly we’re not meant to do this thing called life on our own. We thrive in community and this just might be the best online community you can find.
-Suzie
I'm incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity to meet the root of my fears in such a sacred container with other incredible humans doing similar work.
I am forever appreciative of healing space that Maia and Isabelle created that so gracefully held and allowed us to meet ourselves even deeper. ♡♡♡
-Mish
There is another way, and Isabel and Maia are the best people to support you into your transformation!
I had been feeling stuck for 3 years or more into the same patterns, frozen and unable to change. Doubting it will ever change. Isabel and Maia's content gave me hope there's a different way and so I joined. Learning to listen to my body deeply made me realize pushing through was not the way. It made me realize the body has something to tell us, and that I have a choice to choose differently.
It's not a coincidence that after all this time I found the courage to ask for more by raising my rates as a freelance designer, something I have avoided for a long time. There is another way and Isabel and Maia are the best people to support you into your transformation!

Hi, I’m Isabel - somatic practitioner, integrative psychotherapist, and creator of A State to Create.
The programme was born out of a 10 year career in a field I never actually wanted to be in, that wound me up with a shattered jaw and missing front teeth! This literal shock to the system triggered a series of events that led me to where I am today, taking the steps I longed to take many years before. The steps I wish I’d had clarity on, before I spent too long in an environment that was simply never for me.
This is a path I’ve walked myself, from knowing I wanted more and not being quite sure how to get there, to getting up and actively taking more for myself - making it happen, turning the thought into a thing - as Maia would say.
My work sits at the intersection of nervous system regulation and neuropsychology. The approach I’ve crafted isn’t about hacks, productivity or quick wins. It’s about creating sustainable change in the body and mind, so that you can hold the change this next level of yours requires.
Isabel
If you ask me what I do, I’ll tell you I love to flirt with the limits of possibility.
At the core of my work, I help vision-led humans move what they want into what they actually live—by expanding their capacity to hold more.
This work was born from my own collision with ambition, and from my three years as a business mentor, helping hundreds of students turn their thoughts into things.
The big shift for me didn’t come from doing more, as you can guess. It came when I stopped the race for “more” and started working with my nervous system, and clearing patterns at a cellular level.
(Btw, Isabel and I met right about then, when she completely changed my life through 1:1 therapy)
When I focused on capacity, safety around my definition of success, and the right protocols, everything changed. I scaled my business to a quarter of a million while working 20-hour weeks, and taking entire summers off. A byproduct of my system finally, FINALLY, being able to hold more.
A State to Create is where I bring the nervous-system foundation of that work, so you can create the life your vision is asking for, but your body may still be circling around.
I can’t wait to help you build the internal safety and capacity required for your vision to actually land. When your body can hold it, your life follows. Jut give us 8 weeks and we will show you.
Maia
This is for you if
You can feel that your vision has outgrown your current nervous system capacity, and you know the version of you who lives that life requires a fundamentally new internal baseline.
You’re exhausted by the expansion → collapse cycle, and you’re ready to create growth that doesn’t come at the cost of your body, health, or sense of safety.
You’re no longer interested in hacks, motivation, or “doing more,” and instead want to change the state you create from.
Please note: this is your typical “make it happen” work. And it’s not a “motivational” course.
A State to Create is designed to give you e protocols, understanding, and nervous system resilience required to permanently change your baseline, so growth no longer depends on willpower, urgency, or collapse.
What Actually Changes by Week 8
This work isn’t about becoming a “better version” of yourself. It’s about inhabiting a different baseline.
By the end of A State to Create, the change isn’t something you’re trying to maintain, but something your system defaults to.
Here’s what that looks like in lived experience:
(01) Decisions feel sharp
Because your nervous system no longer interprets choice as threat. You decide without spiraling, second-guessing, or outsourcing your authority.
(02) Stress lands differently.
Pressure no longer collapses you or sends you into urgency mode. Your system can register intensity without flipping into survival. You stay present, oriented, and resourced, even when things get spicy.
(03) Action emerges instead of being forced.
You stop “trying” to be consistent. Action comes from clarity and internal permission, not from pushing, proving, or self-coercion.
(04) Your body becomes a source of information, not friction.
You trust what you feel. Signals make sense. Fatigue, excitement, resistance, desire, you start interpreting them as data and taking your body signals seriously.
(05) Your relationship with capacity fundamentally shifts.
More responsibility, visibility, money, or intimacy doesn’t automatically trigger contraction. You can hold more without collapsing. This is the fundamental shift.
(06) Your future self stops feeling like a concept
The identity you’ve been rehearsing mentally becomes neurologically familiar. It feels accessible. Safe. Normal.
This is what we mean by identity becoming baseline.
Not a mindset you maintain or a “new year new me” situation, but a a state your system knows how to live from.
