Meet Maeve

For healing to be fully experienced, it must happen away from where it took place.

Racial harm at work causes mental, emotional and physical illness!

You may have arrived here because you’re experiencing this. Ongoing daily behaviours have you questioning your sanity. You feel isolated, anxious and worried about the negative impact on your health. I know how that feels because I was there too.

The mission of Flaming Lotus is to transform trauma and psychological wounds into radical inner peace and self-acceptance, empowering individuals to thrive regardless of external circumstances.

Maeve Crawford

Founder of Flaming Lotus 

Transforming trauma into radical inner peace.

My Story

My career has involved working across public, private and charitable sectors and organisations since the age of 17.

These experiences often involved multiple and varying degrees of covert and overt racism.

The psychological, emotional and physical damage resulted in emotional, mental and physical pain which led to severe burnout and an unexpected medical condition caused by severe stress.

This service is influenced by those painful experiences and my journey of healing to remember who I am.

My determination guided me to explore counselling, sound healing, somatic practice and travelling abroad to attend transformational retreats, which included a pilgrimage to Santiago in Spain.

I discovered how walking in nature, immersive sound baths and intentional movement had the most transformational benefits and I was guided to create something that combined these therapeutic elements for the benefit of others, so they don't have to spend years searching for solutions.

Having lived many of the same challenges my clients face, I bring deep empathy and first‐hand insight into the negative impact on emotional, mental and physical health caused by hostile and toxic work environments and cultures.

  • Maeve’s voice is the most comforting and relaxing ever. The love and softness with which she plays her instruments and the energy she fills the space with are pure magic.

    — Surya

  • It was a beautiful sound healing experience. I was transported into a dream-like state: awake, but so very relaxed and everything around me fell away. It was so comforting, I felt completely safe and grounded. Thank you for this experience.

    — Laura

  • I participated in a sound healing session with Maeve and it exceeded my expectations, considering it was my first time experiencing this sort of exercise. It was very calming and grounding. I connected with myself in a way I haven’t before and it was a great way to start my morning. Definitely recommend!
