Artist Bio

Co-Founder of Sitio Arya | Multidisciplinary Designer | Visionary Storyteller | Sacred Space Holder

Maj is a multidisciplinary artist, interior designer, architect, and visionary storyteller devoted to crafting soul-aligned spaces, brand identities, and healing experiences that awaken beauty, truth, and purpose.

As the heart behind Sitio Arya, she brings together art, ecology, and spirit. Her work spans interior design, creative direction, fashion styling, aromatherapy, crafts for healing, and visual storytelling, all rooted in ancestral wisdom, deep healing, and soul remembrance. A trained architect and Fine Arts graduate majoring in Interior Design, she also studied fashion at SoFA and carved her creative path independently from a young age.

Beyond her design practice, Maj is a certified ecosomatic sylvotherapy wellness practitioner, trauma-informed transformational coach, theta healer, and curandera. She also incorporates chromotherapy into her holistic approach, using color as a therapeutic tool for emotional and energetic healing. She facilitates retreats and healing ceremonies in the Philippines that integrate Amazonian and Mazatec plant wisdom, indigenous cultural practices, and ancestral teachings. Her immersion in traditional healing communities, including time spent living in a Maloca, has profoundly shaped her path. 

Maj is also an advocate of the rematriation movement, dedicating her work to the restoration of sacred feminine wisdom, ancestral memory, and right relationship with the Earth. Her work honors diverse healing lineages and promotes integrative, community-rooted care that bridges ancient wisdom and contemporary well-being.

Her belief in alternative healing deepened when she lost her father to cancer, a profound experience that awakened her advocacy for holistic practices that honor the body, soul, and spirit. It inspired her life’s work of bridging traditional ancient practices with integrative healing modalities that nurture wholeness and save lives.

Through Sitio Arya, she is building a heart-led creative production studio — a sanctuary for meaningful storytelling in collaboration with photo and video journalists, artists, and visionaries. Together, they create soul-stirring documentaries, visual narratives, and experiences that reflect collective healing, cultural remembrance, and planetary care.

Maj’s creations are more than visuals. They are offerings. Every detail is intentional. Every project, a prayer. She believes that design and storytelling, when led from the heart, become acts of service that shape not only what we see, but how we feel, remember, and connect.
