What we do

Meditation & Self-Awareness

Slow down. Feel what’s actually there.
Move through your days with more presence.

You’re already there.
Just meet it differently.

What matters to you?

Programs

Three ways to start

Just Sit

A short pause – wherever you are in your day. Sit. Breathe.

See what’s actually there.

Be kind to your mind.

Understand how your mind works and relate to it differently. Stay with it.

See what becomes clear.

Fly In

Step out of your routine and spend your time differently. Less noise. More space.

See what opens up.

Just Sit

A simple invitation to sit down and meet yourself.

What it is?

A short, live guided meditation you join with your headphones on. It can be a one‑time pause in a busy week, or something you return to regularly.

How it works?

Why people choose this?

Just Sit is intentionally simple. You sit, you experience, and you leave with something you can carry into your day.

Be kind to your mind

A one‑month journey to understand your mind and relate to it differently.

What it is?

A guided journey for people who want more depth and continuity — and are curious about how thoughts and emotions actually work.

How it works?

Why people choose this?

This journey is intentionally playful and practical. What you learn doesn’t stay in the session — it shows up in how you live.

Fly In

A break that actually changes something.

What it is?

An experience where you travel, slow down, and meet yourself with fresh eyes — somewhere in the world, together with me.

How it works?

Why people choose this?

Fly‑In is intenionally daring. Bold in its arrival, shaped to feel human, open, and easy to step into.

Guided with care

I’m a psychologistby training and by heart — with years of working experience with individuals, leaders, and organisations. 

My approach draws from modern behavioural psychology and a personal immersion in Buddhist practice. This includes a twoyear Meditation Teacher Training (MMTCP) with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, alongside ongoing teachings with Tibetan masters in India and Nepal. 

I aim to bring openness and kindness into how I guide, while keeping things grounded and human. 

Planting Seeds of Joy

Giving Forward

Your offering is part of a wider circle of care.
It supports Give for Growth — projects in Nepal and India that spark learning, open hearts, and gently change lives.

What moves within you ripples beyond you.

What stayed with people

Unfiltered voice.

Maaike guides in a very gentle and safe way. Her soothing voice helps me to quiet my mind, get closer to myself, and reconnect with my heart. During the meditations, I experience more inner peace, openness, and softness toward myself.

Helga

Spending an evening with Maaike (and her warm presence), immersing myself in the world of meditation, feels soothing, cozy, and connecting—more of that, please!

Femke

I attended a meditation session with Maaike and had a touching conversation with her afterwards. It felt like a sign appearing exactly when I needed it most, as I’ve been searching for a way to soften toward myself and let go of the tension held in my body

Wendy

I didn't know stillness was possible for my kind of mind. I was wrong — in the best way.

Valerie

Everyone struggles with a constant stream of thoughts. It’s helpful to learn techniques for dealing with them mindfully, so you can find more peace and relaxation in your mind and body.
