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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

I started the program with an inkling of an idea and a general guiding belief that there was more for me to do with my old business Tranquil Tuesdays but didn't know exactly what the new vision for my business could be. I was also wary of engaging with my entrepreneurship impulses because I was so burnt out by the last iteration of Tranquil Tuesdays and knew that if I was going to start thinking of a new vision for my business, I needed to learn some more sustainable business practices for myself and a more gentle approach to the work.

Maika's unique ability to be completely gentle, elegant, kind, and laser-focused, backed up by many thoughtful, intentional, and inspired business systems, practices, and rituals, addressed all these needs. I enjoyed her approach to working on your business and was delighted to discover that by following her exercises, approach, and systems, I somehow (and what feels like magically) uncovered a clear vision for what my business could be.

This new clear vision was so inspiring and energizing. As soon as I started feeling familiar sensations of overwhelm, Maika entered with all her sustainable and gentle business systems, encouraging mindsets, and intentional rituals to keep me grounded and connected to my most creative and inspired self.

I could never have imagined 10 weeks ago that I would end this program with the confidence, strength, and motivation to move forward with a clear vision and a detailed and sustainable working plan for the next six months.

The group coaching program was a source of such deep reflective growth and powerful transformation for me and I always think of those weeks together with the group with a level of almost sacred reverence and appreciation. From now on, I will always wish for that same level of connectedness to my deepest, creative, and supported self every Nov-Jan. It felt so special to end the year and start a new one in the transformational kocoon (spa!) of Soulful Success.

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!

Maika is a genuine, trustworthy business coach. I highly appreciate and value her frameworks, tools, strategies, and structured approach, as well as her peaceful, calming energy and rituals. And I also very much enjoyed connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs who turned out to be wonderful accountability buddies throughout the program.

I gained the tools and systems to define my vision and structure and create my 8-week Mental Fitness group program, as well as the confidence and motivation to launch my program. And I signed 3 clients within the following month of launching it!

I recommend her group coaching program to any entrepreneur looking to gain clarity on their vision and launch their ideas into action with sustainable tools and systems.

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.

"Before working with Maika, my biggest challenge was an overall lack of clarity. Through working together I have built so much confidence in my services and myself as a business owner, reflected through a positive ripple effect on my energy awareness, a resilient mindset, and how I communicate my ideas and offers.

Maika has guided me through a brand re-alignment and I have gained clarity on my business purpose, target audience, and unique selling proposition. I refined my email funnels, as well as implementing a solid framework to reach out to targeted potential leads. She also helped me create and structure 3 unique offers that are ready to be shared with the world!

One of the most impactful things about Maika’s coaching is that it makes people autonomous in their business journeys and empowers them to dig deeper and always seek sustainable and intentional solutions.

I appreciated that Maika always challenged me to look for answers myself. She showed me that I can be creative and pragmatic at the same time, and even when it seemed that I wasn’t progressing as fast as I would like, she gently reminded me of what I already achieved.

But the part that I loved the most was that she showed me that I can move at my own pace and succeed, so I no longer feel the need to compare the stage of my journey with someone else's."
