If you’re struggling to stay afloat as a business owner, I see you.
The struggle to find a balance between professional and private life.
The feeling of exhaustion that comes from juggling the many tasks required to keep your business afloat.
The pressure of making the numbers to keep your doors open, make payroll, and have positive cash flow.
The desire to provide resources for your team, but constraints with time and budget.
To be doing ALL the things but still feel like you’re not doing enough.
“Take 5 helps keeps me stay centered"
"My business recently took a heavy hit - I took a 1/3 cut in pay in my business because people moving away or retiring, and so it helps me to breathe through that kind of stress, knowing that I'm going to be okay, that this is just a part of cyclical stuff..”
- Jacqueline P, Put it Together Systems
The truth is, running a business is HARD.
I led teams for small teams for businesses in the tech industry for over 20 years. During that time, I witnessed the fire extinguisher mode many small businesses and start-ups find themselves in and the fatigue and mental anguish that sets in as a result.
What the owners experienced, I mirrored as well. I was a workaholic, a perfectionist, and wore my anxiety like it was a coat of armor. The routine team happy hour was a temporary fix for stress that ultimately exacerbated my anxiety in the long run.
The cumulative effect of work stress and personal challenges took a severe toll on my well-being, ultimately resulting in a breakdown.
I had to learn a better way.
Your mental state is crucial to your ability to lead your team and thrive in business.
In a slow, decade-long journey, I discovered breathing exercises, guided meditations, yoga, and dietary shifts that led me to experience the inner peace I enjoy today – despite external circumstances.
My liberation from anxiety was a long process, but yours doesn't have to be.
Since our personal and work lives are so interconnected, I wanted to create an offering for small business owners and their employees to improve their mental, physical, and spiritual health – without breaking the bank or spending hours of your time.
That’s why I created Take 5 Small Business Memberships.

Hi, I’m Maria Mayes – a meditation teacher, breath coach, wine lover, and conduit of inner peace.
I’ve created a monthly membership to help small businesses be liberated from anxiety and the effects of chronic stress.
Imagine what life would look like if you could:
✨ Experience a greater sense of calm, so that you could be more present with your clients, staff, and family.
✨ Avoid the emotional roller coaster of fear and doubt when numbers dip, and remain peaceful instead.
✨ Build a more connected work environment, reducing your turnover and attracting high-quality candidates.
✨ Learn how to care for yourself in ways that support your nervous system.
✨ Boost your team’s engagement, creativity, and mental health.
A Take 5 Small Business Membership will equip you and your team with tools and resources to reduce stress and overwhelm and increase self-compassion and connectedness.
because here's the deal:
When you are calm and focused, it has a ripple effect that goes beyond just you and your work team.
It affects everyone around you - from clients and business partners to family members.
Providing your team with stress management tools and resources can not only have a significant impact on productivity but on their well-being and families, too.
Are you and your team ready for a TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY?
20%
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reports that 1 in 5 adults experience an anxiety disorder in any given year.
If you have a team of 5 then at least 1 is struggling. Add your personal stress and anxiety to the equation and you have a perfect storm.

Mental Wellness Designed Specifically for Small Business
With the average cost of wellness programs per year being anywhere from $150 to $2,000 per employee, small businesses are usually left out due to budget constraints.
However, Take 5 is designed around the needs of small businesses. Having led teams in small businesses for over two decades, I get that the struggle is real! My passion for serving small businesses stems from years of experiencing the juggle of the many, many hats you wear in operating a small business.
The reality is small businesses don’t have the coffers that large corporations do but they do have the stress, and their employees feel it. But often, business owners are so busy trying to keep things afloat they may not realize the need for stress reduction tools.
I created Take 5 to serve the leader and their teams; whether it is a department or a whole organization.
Many businesses offer gym memberships but few offer stress reduction programs. Take 5 is directly focused on moving stress and anxiety through and out of the body and building your team's resilience.
The Take 5 videos help you and your team build essential skills for emotional intelligence and inner peace; they’ll help you cultivate self-awareness and self-compassion and that benefits more than your bottom line. That affects EVERYONE you interact with.
FAQ
What are the Take 5 Workplace Relaxation Videos?
The Take 5 Workplace Relaxation Videos are guided relaxation videos that are 5 minutes long and designed to be done in the midst of your work day, viewed from your office or at home at your desk in your work clothes.
Each unique video guides viewers through breathing exercises and gentle stretching exercises that help release neck, back, and shoulder tension, leaving you feeling calmer, less stressed, more focused, and more productive.

Doing the Take 5 Workplace Relaxation Videos can leave you feeling more relaxed, less stressed, more focused, more productive, and less reactive to emotional triggers. The videos expose viewers to a variety of breathing techniques and stretches so they can find what works best for them.
When practiced regularly, this can have dramatic positive impacts on both your mental and physical health.
