About Us

It Started with a Small Moment
‍
My dad bent down to pick up our dog, and something in his back gave way. The pain hit hard and didn’t go away. Golf was his escape, and just like that, he had to give it up.
‍
He jumped into recovery mode. Physiotherapy, stretching, endless appointments- he tried everything. Some days helped, most didn’t. Relief felt like a moving target.
‍
That’s when he turned to acupuncture. An ancient practice that worked almost instantly. For the first time in weeks, he could move without wincing. But the relief didn’t last. The pain kept coming back.
‍
It made us stop and think. Why should feeling better be temporary?

A Daily Practice That Stuck
‍
That question led us to something simple: acupressure. Same principles as acupuncture, but made for daily use at home. We ordered a mat, curious to see if it would help.
‍
The results were immediate. My dad felt better- and this time, the feeling stuck around.

Then I started using it too. Long hours at a desk had left my back and shoulders constantly tight. The mat helped me unwind, ease tension, even reduce the headaches I used to get weekly.
‍
Sometimes I’d lie on it at the end of the day. Other times I’d sit on it while I worked. Just those few minutes made a real difference. It was the first time a wellness tool actually fit into our everyday lives.

Building Maya
‍
‍We created Maya to bring that feeling to others. Not just a product, but a pause. A way to reset in the middle of everything else going on.
‍
The UAE moves fast. People are busy, ambitious, always on. We wanted to offer something that helps people slow down. Even if it’s just for twenty minutes a day.
‍
Maya is about making wellness feel natural.

Something you actually look forward to.

Something that works.
‍
Simple, beautiful, and built to last.
