“Before joining IBI, I felt overwhelmed by everything I needed to put in place for my business. I didn't know where to start.

In the pre-work, I could define my customer's journey and have a big picture of the marketing ecosystem for my business. This gave me a lot of clarity.

Also, I am more aware of my unique strengths and can work with them to my advantage. What I enjoy most in the program is having an accountability buddy.”

Isabelle Naud, Health & Wellbeing Coach IN BARCELONA (THree years WITH IBI)

"As I signed up for IBI, I already knew from my past experience with Maika that she will be very generous with her wisdom and support. She went beyond my expectations.

The material is extensive and very detailed, Maika is available as a guide throughout your journey and she created a container that forms long-term connections.

What struck me most was our coaching session. I wasn't even sure of the topic I was bringing into the session, yet she not only guided me to figure out what I needed to see but also nudged me towards a perspective that birthed a great solution.

Although I have my business for 10+ years, my move over continents recently meant I needed to re-form everything including my way of thinking, and Maika helped me do exactly that."

Gözde Türkmen Redden, Systemic Alchemical Facilitator

"Before I signed up for IBI I knew that I wanted to take my side gig and turn it into a proper business. I had a rough idea of how you go about it, and in a general sense, what was necessary. I was attracted to IBI because of Maika's selling point of limiting the necessity of social media.

Since joining the program, it has helped me significantly shift my perspective on content and how to create that content around a focused and aligned product/service. 

The IBI program is broken down into building the fundamental building blocks of a sustainable business that doesn't require the running on a hamster wheel that is social media.

The coaching calls, and community provide a supportive and encouraging atmosphere to go through the often bumpy ride of building a business!”

KEITH ELIOTT, Audio Engineer, Founder Resonant Rhythm, USA, SARATOSA (3 YEARS WITH IBI)

"Maika’s program has been a truly inspiring experience for me. Being part of a community means a lot, and throughout the program I realized how powerful it can be to hear other people’s questions and perspectives.

Sometimes someone asked something I had never considered before, and it opened new ways of thinking for me.

After this program, I feel one step closer to realizing my dreams. Maika’s calm presence and welcoming attitude created such a safe and motivating environment.

One of my favorite parts was the ritual of weekly reflection and learning to focus on the “half-full glass.” This mindset is quite new for me, and it has already started to shift the way I see myself and my progress. I also feel deeply inspired to plan ahead, set meaningful goals, and take concrete steps toward them."

Ozge Buyuksu, Life Coach 

“IBI is a carefully curated program that is easy to implement. It supports you in many aspects of your business and life since we aim for a value-based business. 

Maika's patience and answers to every single question are incredibly helpful.

Thank you, Maika, for all you have done for our group. I look forward to being involved in the new year!’

Ayşegül Boz Baltacı | Birth Educator&Doula IN ISTANBUL ( THree YEARs with IBI)

"Before I joined IBI, I had been freelancing for a few years, but I wasn’t sure how to get ‘all in.’ I also thought going ‘all in’ meant I had to hustle hard and neglect all the other important parts of my life, like family and my voluntary work.

Maika taught me that a holistic approach means I can truly integrate my values and passions into my business and life this way is far more meaningful. She also took out all the ‘fear’ of the practical and technical side of setting up the scaffolding of a business.”

Becky Hunter-Kelm, Copywriter IN ISTANBUL (2 YEARS IN IBI)

“In IBI, Maika guides you to develop a holistic and sustainable approach to your business.

The course content covers all the key building blocks to establish solid foundations for your professional activities and to learn how to communicate your unique offering.

Yet, the most valuable change for me has been the transformation in myself as a business owner: I am now calmer and more confident in both my professional and personal life.

Above all, IBI is an invitation to establish your own rhythm and to develop your business on your own terms.”

Stacie Allan, Translator and Cultural Project Consultant

“Experiencing Maika's thoughtfully curated and meticulously organized service first-hand as a client—even within the limits of my time and energy—has been an invaluable asset for me.

Her approach and execution exemplify exceptional customer experience and values she embodies as a coach and business owner, providing a model I aspire to learn from and replicate with continued effort in the future.

Thank you, Maika, for guiding me as a mentor, coach, and inspiring role model of a well-balanced entrepreneur!”

Shoko Okumura, Acupuncturist & Herbalist Based in Australia

“Before I started IBI I was freelancing as a copywriter. IBI helped me to build a business. The two are very different things. The second allowed me to show up as my authentic self as a biz owner and attract the right clients, whilst the first made me feel like I was always begging for scraps at the table!

IBI's holistic approach was the most life-giving way for me to build a business. It allowed me to still travel, be a present mum and do what's important to me.

I'm forever thankful to Maika for starting me down this road (that I intend to continue on!).

Rebecca Hunter Kelm, Copywriter Based in Türkiye, (2 Years in IBI)

"Maika is like my company psychologist and a trusted guide who’s always there when I feel overwhelmed by details. Her calming presence helps ease anxiety and brings me back to focus. What I’ve enjoyed most in the process are the live group calls. Being able to receive personalized advice, while also seeing other entrepreneurs with similar or completely different challenges, reminds me that this is a process everyone goes through.

This program isn’t about following a generic blueprint. It’s about progressing with your own core values and creating a meaningful, personalized plan you can carry with you for life. Maika gently supports you to internalize that journey in a way that feels deeply aligned.

Through her guidance, I’ve improved my focus, flow, and time management, which has brought a real sense of calm to my inner world. I now have a clearer understanding of my direction and have built a career plan that aligns with the lifestyle I want and truly reflects my values. That alignment has given me more confidence and motivation to move forward with purpose.

Sebnem Kurtul, Glass Artist & Handmade Jewelry Maker (2 YEARS IN IBI)

"The renewal of the IBI coincided with a pivotal point in my life. I had just completed the degree I had been working on for seven years.

Revisiting Focused & Flowing during this transitional phase helped me reconnect with my values and refocus my energy.

Instead of rushing into launching my acupuncture career, I chose to pause, prioritize my wellbeing, and explore online business with greater clarity. This shift led to a breakthrough as I recognized and released old patterns of scattered energy.

I now have a clearer vision for my product and service ecosystem. I particularly enjoyed the transition to Kajabi and how fluid and focused the experience was.

The behind-the-scenes content was a lovely bonus. Experiencing Maika’s intentional delivery as both a client and observer inspired me to create the same kind of experience for my own future clients. I'm now gradually learning backend systems like newsletters, landing pages, and email campaigns, and taking micro-steps toward launching my beta program.”
