"Before I started the Intentional Building Coaching program, I was so overwhelmed and honestly didn't even know where to begin with starting my business!

Working with Maika, I have learned so much about not only how I want to run my business but also about the way in which I want to live my life - the change that this coaching process has brought to every aspect of my life is immeasurable!

Maika is not only calm and insightful but also clear and organized. I feel like I can ask her anything through a clear and consistent line of communication. I always feel seen and supported, and this has benefitted my work tremendously.

In addition, all the systems and tools that she has introduced in our sessions have been very helpful and have helped me derive more joy from both my business and personal life.

Working with Maika has been a true joy and has changed my whole life. I feel calmer, more in control, more productive, and happier with my work than I have ever felt.

“When I started the program, I did not know how this program was going to change my life. I thought we would focus more on the daily tasks and business side. However, Maika's program includes much more than I have expected: It touched every aspect of my life.

Being a mom of two and working is not easy; you have to plan your life as a whole.

Maika taught me how to do this and how to be happy and satisfied in my life with the plans I make. She also unleashed my fears and helped me create awareness, which helped me progress in the business. I can't thank her enough for all the support, positive energy, and motivation she has given me."

"A natural coach, Maika is very well organized during her sessions. She approached a difficult subject in a considered and informative manner. Maika clearly has a wealth of industry experience and knowledge which she readily demonstrates.

We had already accomplished most of our objectives in the first month of working together. Within the first 20 minutes of our second session, Maika had already identified the root causes of my problem.

I’ll forever be grateful for the encouragement she gave me when I needed it.

Over the following two sessions with her, we had built a robust and actionable plan for growth that we then implemented. Those actions have and continue to have immediate effect.

She is an exceptional coach; her methods and delivery are brilliant! I look forward to continuing working with Maika with so much yet to learn!

Natalie Beard, Founder, Ubuntu Family Initiative

“My biggest challenges before working with Maika were a lack of focus and clarity on how to launch my coaching business, as well as procrastinating on actually making it happen!

Through working with Maika, I finally got the tools, accountability, and support to drive my business forward. Some of the highlights include helping me design a marketing strategy based on my strengths (which I executed) and guiding me through expanding my product staircase and the design and launch of a new offering- to which I have enrolled four new clients!

Maika has helped me learn to listen to myself and access my resourcefulness to step into self-confidence and flow. I have also worked on my money mindset through her support and stretched myself to charge higher prices for my programs.

Maika is very caring and adaptive, and her coaching is highly effective, which has enabled me to truly embrace being an entrepreneur.”

Isabelle Naud, Health & Wellbeing Coach

“Maika embodies everything I need in a mentor and more. Her intuition about what I needed, when I needed it, was and still continues to be the most invaluable experience for me.

When I came to her, I had very little knowledge of what it took to start a business. Furthermore, we started working together right before the pandemic hit -to say timing wasn't on my side would be an understatement.

But, with her patience, resources, knowledge and communication skills, I now have a growing copywriting business, despite the odds stacked against all of us.

I still stop and pinch myself that this all happened while stuck at home, with three young kids. I was able to build the foundations of a business while staying true to myself and my community.

Maika's powerful words stay with me throughout the day and I'm constantly repeating them over in my head -- both in good and challenging moments. Her profound impact will have a lasting ripple effect on my business, financial future, family, and the people I serve.”

Sara Naderi, Creative Copywriter

“I loved my 6-month coaching program with Maika. I started working with Maika as a student on a 6-week course, and I was so impressed with the attention, care, and sharp feedback that she gave me that I decided to sign up as a coachee.

What a fabulous six months – I really did embrace the meaning of intention with Maika’s help.

I achieved some of the big goals I set for my business; built some time-saving systems that serve me every day; and gained clarity & confidence around what was a new business when I started with her.

I would describe Maika as a grounding, challenging & caring coach – totally recommend working with her. Your business will love you for it!

Bridget Rooth, Founder, MindSteadyGo

“Working with Maika was transformational for my business and my leadership. Maika created a safe and dynamic space for me to explore the key blockages holding back our growth as a company and my personal growth as a manager and a leader.

She helped me to figure out where those pain points originated and guided me as I crafted and implemented a strategy to rekindle my joy and confidence at work while also energizing our team.

Maika helped me to unlock our potential, enabling us to achieve beyond our financial goals while simultaneously bringing a newfound calm and serenity to our business.

Maika was a kind and thoughtful guide. She was a true collaborator who asked the right questions and was always there to provide timely and impactful feedback. I highly recommend working with Maika to dig in deep to your business and unleash it’s potential and yours too.

Anne Laure Py, Founder, Craftspring

“Maika has been a tremendous supporter in my journey as an entrepreneur leading a heart-centered business. Part coach, part wisdom teacher, she has consistently led our sessions with laser-sharp focus and compassion.

With her principles and effective tools, Maika helped me shift from feeling lost and overwhelmed to clear and confident.

Today, I feel enthusiastic and peaceful about my business. Thank you, Maika, for honoring your higher calling and inspiring us to do the same!"

Khadija Bennani, Conscious Parenting Coach and Mindfulness Teacher, Founder, Le Parent Conscient

“The 6-month private coaching program really exceeded all my expectations.

I've learned so much about myself and my business. I started with Maika in a space of feeling stuck and knowing that I wanted to do more with my business and moved into a place of real confidence.

Some of our sessions worked a lot with self-doubt, the inner critic, moving past the fear of stepping into my coaching business, stepping into my vision of what I really want for myself, and really believing in myself.

Maika really has an intuitive way of working. She has empowered me to look within and find my answers. I've been able to really step into my confidence.

And she speaks about the five pillars of business. These have been really the foundation with which I can move forward in my life now and have really allowed me to reflect on where I spend my time and what is my priorities.

I would highly recommend coaching with Maika. Particularly the six-month coaching program. I originally was quite hesitant to invest in myself, but it has been invaluable.

Jessica Garlick, Self-Healing & Somatics

“I'm a holistic health coach. I work with people to get to the root causes of their health struggles, and specifically, I'm focused on working on the gut.

Before I came to see Maika I was feeling lost, not sure where the vision of the business was going, the purpose behind why I was doing things. I was looking for guidance and support in that process, and being able to re-ride my ship that felt like it was lost at sea.

Today, I feel more aligned to a vision of how I want my business to be.

Maika helped me go deep and start asking the questions behind why I was doing all of this. She helped me understand that I don't have to always be perfect, that the journey in entrepreneurship is something that's going to have a lot of lot of ups and downs, and that just taking it day by day, realigning myself with my values and what's important to me, and building the business around that, was a very important insight. 

She gave me that comfort and helped me understand that I don't have to be so hard on myself, and that if I put my mind to it, and I go deep and really figure out what's important to me, then everything's going to pan out the way it should.

Her insights, not only in the internal work but also in running a business; hearing how she has been doing it, gave me inspiration to apply some of these things to my own business and elevate my client experience.  

What I enjoyed the most were her visualization techniques and her ability to ground me when I needed it.

If you're thinking of working with Maika, I strongly recommend you take action and do it. It's going to be the best investment you make in yourself and in your business. She really goes above and beyond to give you an excellent experience and make sure that you come out of this with value that you'll be able to have for the rest of your life, on this entrepreneurship journey.

I strongly recommend her, and it'll be the best thing you ever do!"

John Constas, Gut Health Coach

“My name is Zeynep, founder of Tara Folks Accessories, a company dedicated to supporting craftsmanship in Türkiye.

Before working with Maika, I often felt overwhelmed. I was constantly racing against time, struggling to find the right documents, feeling pressure to post on Instagram, and burdened by the need for a big marketing budget.

Through Maika’s guidance, my mindset began to shift. She reminded me that what matters most is not just what you achieve, but who you become throughout the journey.

One of the most impactful changes was learning to plan on paper. When I do, the tasks get done. That simple habit transformed how I organize and approach my work.

Within six months, I started sending regular newsletters, structured my folders more efficiently, and improved my time management.

But the biggest shift? I no longer see my business as a failure. I feel proud—of my journey, my business, and myself.

Coaching was like having a mentor and guide walking beside me. Maika's tools, wisdom, and compassion were invaluable. "

Zeynep Gürsoy, Designer & Founder, Tara Folks Accessories.

“Bom dia, my name is Eva. I am an international coach and facilitator and support heart-centered leaders on their journey.

When I started working with Maika, I felt a bit stuck with the offerings for my private clients. Working with her has helped me direct my energy with more impact, creating new offers, working on projects more consistently, sharing my story, and attracting clients.

I appreciate that Maika is not a common business coach selling 15-step strategies that need replicating.

She allowed me to create from within and execute in a gentle, calm, and consistent way that is more sustainable and healthy for me in the long term. Thank you for being so supportive!”
