A powerful path to Modern Matriarchy – We are living through The Great Turning—a time of remembering, rebalancing, and renewal. Through an ecological governance approach, matriarchs are rising—leading with integrity, feminine wisdom, and trust to build communities that honor life itself.

Start your journey

This book is an ecological, cultural, and political call to action for each of us to define a new path of integrity based on our respective lineages, where we take 100% responsibility for ourselves, our families, our communities, and protecting Mother Earth and all that is sacred.

— Maija Danilova West

Learn about the book

What is a Modern Matriarch?

A Modern Matriarch is a powerful woman who leads her family, people, or chosen community—biological or chosen—with wisdom, courage, and care.

She embodies a leadership revitalization rooted in her own truth and guided by culturally grounded values and lineage-based practices, where possible.
A Modern Matriarch understands that leadership lives in everyone—in how we guide ourselves, our families, and our communities. Whether you lead a government, a sewing circle, a construction site, your nervous system, or your dreams, your leadership matters.
In these times of The Great Turning, she walks as both hospice and midwife—releasing ways of leading that no longer serve, while remembering, restoring, and standing in solidarity with the emergent systems of life that are being reborn.

Testimonials

“Maija Danilova West’s Matriarch Makeover felt like opening a gentle invitation and then unfolding a precious map to deepen my understanding of my place in the world. Reading it connected me to my longing to be of service and demanded I embrace my subtle strength and personal lineage. Even halfway through the slim, 30-day manual, I found it challenging not to rush ahead. The material drew such curious insights out of me, that I finished every prescribed 20-minute session ravenous for more. And yet, taking it as the author suggests, one day at a time, is part of the magic of this program. I highly recommend this book. Buy one for yourself and a second one for a friend.”

— Kristy Lin Billuni
“Matriarch Makeover is a transformative guide to healing, self-discovery, and empowerment. Through this work, I experienced a profound shift in nearly every area of my life. I healed many relationships with men and loved ones, opening the door to love and partnership in ways I never imagined. I reconnected with my ancestry, reckoning with generational pain and finding peace within my family’s history. This journey helped me renew damaged relationships, realign my priorities, and rediscover my inner artist. This isn’t just a book—it’s a call to reclaim your sovereign self. The work is deeply personal, beautifully guided, and profoundly impactful. I’m so grateful to Maija for this invitation to step into my power and healing. Matriarch Makeover is essential for anyone ready to embrace their story and lead with love.”

“When I’m working with Maija and her team, I get the experience and insights of an esteemed leader, a business coach, an advocate, and a friend. She draws on all of those areas to create a custom plan, which then becomes a roadmap for my business.”

— Siana Sonoquie
“Maija is so unique, intuitive and unlike anybody else I’ve met. Her strong foundation and values as a person and professional are the filter from which she operates. I didn’t realize the type of support I needed until I worked with Maija.”
