And I've Been Where You Are.
My Story: From “Fine” to Fully Alive
I know what it feels like to have a beautiful life on paper—and still feel a quiet ache inside.
For 25 years, I lived a split life.
Professionally, as a clinical psychologist—I was careful to stay neutral. I worked with clients, taught courses, built a successful career. And I was good at it.
But in my faith? I softened. I edited. I translated.
I went to Mass. I prayed. I did all the "right things." And I felt distant.
Not because I wasn't trying. But because I was living in two worlds—never fully belonging to either.
Then, during my Lenten journey, I encountered Jesus at the Well.
Not at a retreat or in a perfect moment. But in the middle of a messy, ordinary life—thirsty, exhausted, soul-tired.
And He met me there. He saw me. He named my thirst.
And my life has been evolving since.

What I Do Now
I'm a Catholic Speaker inviting high-performing women back to The Well—where split becomes whole, distant becomes deeply rooted, and thirst becomes fruitfulness.🌺
I speak at retreats, conferences, and parish events—creating space for women to encounter Jesus, not just hear about Him.
And I guide small groups of women on the journey from Encounter to Transformation.

WHY I DO THIS
Because I know what it's like to straddle two worlds.
Professional Mavis vs. Catholic Mavis.
Caregiver Mavis vs. Career Mavis.
Professing faith on Sunday, softening it Monday through Friday.
To do all the "things" and still feel distant from God.
To be thirsty and not even know it.
And I know what it's like to encounter Jesus at the Well.
To come home. To stop splitting.
To let Jesus make me whole.
That's what I want for you.
Not perfection. Not a polished version of yourself.
Just you—whole, rooted, anchored in Jesus.
That's why I do this.
"For 20-plus years, I softened who I was to 'fit in'. Then Jesus met me at The Well--Thirsty, Conflicted & Ready--and everything changed. He's waiting to meet you there too. " ~ Dr Mavis
