If you’ve ever tried to “do mindfulness” and felt like you needed a new wardrobe, a silent retreat and the patience of a monk, Maude Hirst has a more workable approach. Through her bespoke mindfulness business, EnergyRise, the meditation and yoga teacher offers personalised online yoga, meditation, movement meditation and theta healing—designed for people who want the benefits without the performance.
EnergyRise is structured around one refreshingly obvious truth: what settles one person can irritate another. Some people regulate through stillness; others need to move first. Some want a guided practice; others want a toolkit they can use in the background of a busy life. Hirst’s work focuses on helping clients find the method that actually suits them, then building consistency through online meditation and yoga courses, live online classes, retreats, events and a limited number of VIP online one-to-one sessions.
“We are all unique and tapping into our individuality is where our power lies. I created EnergyRise for my clients to discover themselves on a deeper level. It’s only then that you can sculpt your life into what you want it to be,” Maude says.
A platform built for real schedules, not perfect routines
The wellness world is full of one-size-fits-all plans. EnergyRise is closer to a menu—choose what you need, adjust as you go, and keep it sustainable.
At its core, EnergyRise centres on:
- Online yoga tailored to different bodies, abilities and energy levels
- Meditation sessions that prioritise practicality over jargon
- Movement meditation, for those who find calm through motion
- Theta healing, as part of a broader approach to personal change and self-understanding
The aim is not to replace your life with a wellness lifestyle. It’s to make your life easier to live in—more grounded, less reactive, and less at the mercy of whatever the day throws at you.
The personal story behind the work
Hirst’s route into this world wasn’t a tidy career pivot. She felt the power of mindfulness after a traumatic personal experience led her on an extraordinary discovery of healing.
Instead of fixating on the external world, she looked inward and learnt strategies to rebuild her life in a healthy and conscious way. It’s a philosophy that runs through EnergyRise: you can’t control everything outside you, but you can learn to respond differently—and that changes the shape of your days.
“Now I’ve experienced these profound changes in my own life, I want others to experience them too. So I trained in yoga, meditation, intuitive movement meditation and theta healing to create EnergyRise,” she adds.
What EnergyRise offers: personalisation with boundaries
Personalised support only works when it’s genuinely personal. EnergyRise makes space for that by offering multiple ways to work with Hirst—from structured online courses and live classes to retreats and events—with one-to-one sessions kept limited.
For clients, that means two things. First, there are accessible entry points if you’re new or simply testing what works. Second, if you do want deeper work, there’s a route into more tailored support—without the whole thing turning into a high-pressure upsell.
Who it’s for
EnergyRise is most relevant for people who want mindfulness to be useful, not performative—those who:
- have tried generic meditation apps and bounced off them
- want yoga and meditation adapted to their reality, not an ideal
- feel better with movement than sitting still
- are looking for a more personal, guided approach to building calm
In short, EnergyRise is built for people who want the benefits of mindfulness—clarity, steadier moods, better self-regulation—without being asked to become someone else first.
