A French mompreneur born in Japan and based in Istanbul, Maika is a business coach for impact-driven entrepreneurs who help them turn their ideas into thriving businesses.

I consider family always to come first and make decisions with them at the forefront. I was taught to follow my dreams and inner voice from a very young age, which impacted my entire life. I want to show my family a positive example and endeavor to create an environment for children that fosters autonomy, creativity, and self-confidence.

I value one’s ability to exercise discipline and have integrity. If I commit to something, I will do everything to fulfill my promises. Choosing clients based on their moral character and values is favorable, rather than working with someone because of their financial capabilities. Knowing that we can build a mutual relationship of trust and respect and both work towards our happiness and success in business and life is imperative.

I believe that simplicity is key in understanding and implementing a strategy of any sort in your business. Being overwhelmed by big concepts and difficult-to-grasp ideas doesn’t promote any growth or movement. I help my clients or students overcome this hurdle by making every aspect of their strategy and marketing simple, actionable, and easy to implement by providing a step-by-step process.

My team and I are dedicated to cultivating an inclusive environment where community, kindness, and equity are practiced and nurtured. With this in mind, I created programs that fit every budget, whether it's an ebook, workshop, or masterclass. There are also several opportunities to join free training sessions throughout the year.

I value surrounding myself with people I can relate to, empathize with, challenge and get support from and give support to. In the often isolated realm of entrepreneurship, building up a community is essential to our overall well-being to foster positive criticism that helps us improve and progress towards our goals.

I will prioritize peace of mind and create a life and environment of less stress and good self-care practices. History has shown me that our bodies react negatively to a lack of caring for ourselves, manifesting in physical, emotional, and mental ways. This is why every decision I make is first met with this question: Will this give me peace of mind or take it away? For me, peace of mind has no price, so it is something I can’t compromise on.

My methodology is based on my holistic philosophies where one’s personal life and business’ health, happiness, and success are integrated. I believe one gets the best results when you look at and care for the whole system. This is why I focus on value alignment, business systems and processes, leadership skills, marketing strategies, and time management in my programs.

My life is guided by the premise that everything we do is part of a bigger picture - a bigger plan. When we adopt the philosophy, we can add or subtract value from someone else’s life and existence; we can put our and others’ happiness and well-being at the center of our actions and decisions. Without having this guiding light, life would be dry and meaningless.
