sold out! join the waitlist for details on the next cohort
JOIN THE WAITLIST TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW
Expansion Volume 7 sold out in 3 hours flat. Vol 6 in 5. And so on. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you’re feeling a strong pull to join, I highly recommend being on the waitlist.
(And, this ↑ kind of community connection is the embodiment of everything I teach inside Expansion: to become the invitation.)
You are here for a reason
And it’s not to burn out and forget the power within you, the essence of who you are, and the seed that your business is here to plant.
For the brave leader who wants to shatter the box they’ve shrunk themselves into, melt the mindset and somatic blocks around their definition of success, and learn how to call in more while doing less by expanding their capacity to hold more.
Through 4 months of intimate group coaching, next-level accountability, community, deep somatic work, energy freedom foundations, and unstoppable momentum, you’ll return to what truly moves you.
You started this for freedom, remember?
LET’S PLAY A GAME. PUT A FINGER DOWN IF...
YOU’RE A VISIONARY
You know what you want, and why you’re here right now.
Your life vision is clear, but you know embodying it requires an identity shift.
You feel that change is needed to end the self-doubt cycle, but the how is unclear.
You recognize your own potential, yet "something" is holding you back.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
The queen of notes, of the million ideas, the moodboards. You know what you want to create, but there’s a gap between ideas and execution.
You have the big picture in mind, but you're overwhelmed by the journey's scale, and the little details you obsess over have no impact on that big vision.
YOU’RE A BRAVE ONE
You took the bold leap into the self-employed world (perhaps while still juggling some unfulfilling “pieces”), and there’s no turning back.
You had the bravery to start and found your flow, but now you’re drowning in day-to-day operations, and have a hard time prioritizing what to do each day, where to put your energy, and how to call it back.
YOUR MESSAGE HOLDS POWER
You have so much to say in this new era of you, that don’t even know where to start.
You crave a bigger stage, yet fear and self-doubt keep you from showing up authentically, online and off.
You know your tribe is out there, and your message is powerful, but sharing your raw voice feels terrifying.
YOU’RE A LEADER
You’re a natural leader, but somewhere along the way, you got too comfortable being led.
Courses, podcasts, workshops, this and that, but deep down you know you’re snoozing on the main thing: taking action.
You crave a space to let loose, find your flow, and stay accountable, but you haven’t found it (yet ☺︎).
YOU’RE ON THE RIGHT PATH
You absolutely love what you do, and and your passion is contagious. You’re on the right path. You’ve got the fire in your belly.
But you wonder, too often,
“There’s gotta be a better way”
“A simpler way”
“One that actually feels good”
And there is, I promise.

THE SHIFT
On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together.
On the inside, the story is different.
The version of you that started your business, is not the same version of you that wants to lead it now.
There’s a dissonance between who you think you are, and who you truly are.
Expansion is a portal for the ones with the courage to remember and embody who they came here to be.

tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
Since joining Expansion…
○ I've called in almost €50,000 in revenue while working 4 hours a day & honoring my values.
○ I reimagined my entire offer suite to focus on less noise and more impact.
○ I rebranded my podcast and newsletter, starting to show up with my authentic voice & embodied expression.
○ I launched a non-profit with six figures of investment & I'm leading a team of 6 with ease and impact.
○ I reimagined the way I work to honor slow mornings & spacious weeks without compromising my goals. The list goes on!
I doubled the revenue I made in the 6 months I was in the program compared to the 6 months before joining Expansion. I would absolutely say that being in the mastermind influenced this, because it showed me ways to center the work I truly wanted to be doing and expand my capacity to hold more.
It's also helped me realign the way I think about wealth, so that it doesn't feel like I need to "work more" to "make more."
Gihan
tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
Through Expansion, I went from 5,000 USD months to 15,000 USD months. It's not just about the net value; it's how I feel about making it or not making it. The neutral charge of dealing with numbers without personalizing it.
I never felt shame again when I felt that my numbers may not be as big as the community I'm surrounded with, because I'm so obsessed with where I come from (Egypt), and this was a whole new cellular memory!
If you’re thinking about joining Expansion: Please don't let the fear of success stop you. Don't let your numbers convince you that you're not good enough, or that you'll never get there. Being surrounded by the kindest and most generous women in Expansion changed me inside out!
Go in knowing you're worth it! And know that the real value of Expansion is probably a lot more than whatever number you're investing, because no money can buy the cellular memory you receive through Expansion.
summary of expansion:
It's like being in a warm bath, having every belief you had about money, success, wealth, and womanhood being upgraded. It felt like powerful cellular conversations with women showing you what's possible beyond the little world you live in, in your own mind.
I felt stretched in a different way. I didn't feel that growth is this icky feeling you push through to be able to fit into the room of powerful women, that culture that's engulfed your mind from corporate. I felt expanded by how possible it is to walk on the edge of reality, go at your own pace, and still celebrate success, because you're obsessed with your own path.
Just after submitting the application, through the self-study material and the decision to be that woman, I came up with the pricing model that sold out my women's retreats and my business mentorship. I came up with an idea that helps me double my income stream while working fewer hours and preparing for maternity leave. I generally worked less, tripled my income, and had the most fun finding my tribe without burning out.
THE STORY BEHIND WHY YOU’RE HERE
When I brought all my 1:1 coaching clients together two years ago, everything changed.
I saw their focus sharpen, blocks melt like butter, their body re-align with their actual potential, and how bravely they took bigger and bigger leaps—all by being in the right community.
The collective excitement was electric, and I felt too, more motivated than ever. So I shifted from 1:1 into group coaching, and the Expansion Mastermind was born.
My approach for this Mastermind concept wove down-to-earth business coaching and brand strategy with something deeper and often invisible: somatic and energetic work that speaks to your body's intelligence.
At some point the breakthroughs through the somatic piece were so profound that I created a library of somatic resources (The Vault) for them to explore somatic modalities on their own.
I saw how they equipped themselves with the right tools, built discipline through their morning practice, and transformed their relationship with fear.
I saw how their nervous systems began to change too, and how suddenly things were “just happening” (aka: how success finally felt safe to their nervous system).
They finally felt safe in their leadership, breaking the fear of being seen by seeing themselves as they truly were.
A space to let loose.
Not only their minds, but their whole bodies were finally ready to re-write the outdated mental narratives, and expand their capacity to hold more.
It was alchemical.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard it across all 6 rounds of Expansion:
‘I’ve never felt so safe/So seen/So heard.’
The *Expansion Effect* as we call it.
But what really shifted? ꩜
The level of accountability and commitment was unmatched.
Progress was monumental: breakthroughs, consistency, new offers, sold out launches, retreats, self-hosted 30-day challenges, landing client after client on brand new offers, doubling and tripling their incomes (someone recently x5d!!), hosting content creation co-working sessions + money sessions with each other — a next-level commitment.
To themselves, to each other.
We all craved the group’s energy, support, celebration, relatability, and mostly, the feeling that we’re not alone in this.
We craved the feeling of belonging.
So, I decide to put all my devotion into this Mastermind, and give it all I got: a hybrid of everything that has alchemized my clients' visions (and my own), with a community element that catalyzes bone deep self-trust.
(The only thing that will move your visions to reality.)
As someone who’s walking this path with you, I’ve learned that once self-trust is unlocked, our potential becomes boundless.
I’m seeking 40 deeply committed visionaries ready to transform fear into fuel and step into the self-trust gym that is Expansion.
If you’ve made it here, something is speaking to you.
This is an invitation to step into a version of yourself you can’t recognize yet.
My mission in Expansion is to hold the space where you will expand past your own limits and finally step into what you know is waiting for you on the other side, because the life you desire requires a new self-concept: the shattering of your own ceiling.
I’ll be in your life for the next 4 months (and beyond ♡) as your mentor, business coach, and sister, alongside a community of incredible, incredible expanders building the life they desire, too.
Spaces like these allow people like us to vision-hold each other and co-create our reality together.
Cheers to your inevitable Expansion.

Expanded Stories
We've sorted these stories into three tracks so you can find your Expanders: root (first year in biz) flame (scaling to 6 figure years) blaze (6 to multi-6 figure years)
I love the spiritual + somatic side of Expansion, but truly the business modules are no fucking joke! Do not underestimate them!! The capacity planning + offer suite modules really helped me understand my own energetics and actually look at what a sustainable biz model FOR ME looks like. Because of this, I launched my first group program and sold out all the spots in the first round :)
Now, after Expansion, I feel SO clear on what my biz is and why it exists; I have the foundations and tools to support my sustainable growth; and perhaps most importantly, I have the belief in myself that I can be successful and thrive MY way.
ayu
I'll always associate Expansion with the question "why not? why is this not actually possible?" I think that was my biggest takeaway from the calls and the feedback: the allowance and permission to go ahead and do what I felt, what I doubted I could do.
I created and launched my website. I created and soft-launched my 1:1 mentorship, I came back to social media and to my digital life. I made substantial progress in defining my offer ecosystem, my creative systems and flows, and I shaped the vision for the studio I want to create, made a lot of good connections, and found Suzie (Expansion queen) whom I value at 100,000 euro or more.
maryam
During Expansion, I called in my first high-ticket clients from ONE STORY using Maia's launch methodology. I designed and sold my first container WITH EASE. I FINALLY started showing up on social media from a place of ease and authenticity, and learned to market and sell in a way that actually feels fun and joyful through Maia's embodied marketing methodology.
I got hyper clear on my income and lifestyle goals, with a roadmap to get there.
But honestly, the biggest change was inside: I'm no longer paralyzed by perfectionism or the fear of being seen. The things that used to feel terrorizing feel fun and joyful now, and I feel capable of creating anything I set my mind to.
andrea
Wow, too many tangible takeaways. I brought a calendar system into my life + Notion. I launched the second round of my signature program x100000 elevated (new platform/new content/elevated my pricing, etc.) But the deepest shift was energetic, and it happened through witnessing Maia. Seeing her show up to the group so authentically, giving her all while prioritizing her own capacity, sharing her raw medicine, it gave me permission to do the same: to trust my own wisdom, to hold spaces that feel truly alive.
Now I wake up every day amazed at what I'm creating, fully owning my power to expand it into realities I never thought possible. If you're thinking about it, just do it: jumping into Expansion was a quantum leap in itself.
luz bella
I launched my first group container, literally built the landing page, created some content around it, and sold it out… and I already have folks on the waitlist for the next round.
What I really walked away with was not just strategy, but a completely expanded sense of possibility. The curriculum, the Notion templates, the somatic work, the way Maia bridges energetics and practicality together: it felt like so much more than I expected to receive.
After Expansion, I feel connected to a much greater sense of possibility for my life and work. I trust my voice more deeply. I take my vision more seriously. And I feel more willing to let myself fully step toward the things I know I'm here to create.
melissa
Ayyy I don't know where to start without bursting into tears lol. I've created an even bigger and kinder space within my body to be okay in the void.
The first thing is that I redefined my business strategy and my ecosystem. I redesigned and increased the price of my star offer (The Unfolding), and I am so ready to show it and give it to the world.
It gave me exactly what I needed: the expanded business vision and strategy, and the permission to stay connected to my body and its wisdom in the process. I recognise my energy and power, and I'm owning it because I'm able to hold it.

tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
I 5x'd my income! I launched my website! I fleshed out my offerings three times over, and raised my prices! I mean, literally, my business is the tangible result of Expansion.
Before Expansion, I was taking what I could get. I had absolutely no trust that I could build a sustainable, thriving business. I felt like a huge imposter, and that was keeping me stuck and playing small.
Expansion laid the groundwork for the internal work that needed to happen (and continues to happen) to go all in on my business. It's completely transformed how I see myself, my business, my life. Literally everything. I couldn't be more grateful.
○ Being able to retire my partner!
○ A £100K (plus) year!
○ x5 my income
○ A network of sisters that I know will be with me forever!
○ A business I am lit the fuck up about!
SHOULD I KEEP GOING?
summary of expansion:
Before Expansion, I felt completely lost. I had left my job, ready to go all in on my new business, but I froze. I was picking up jobs here and there with no real plan and no real trust. After Expansion, I am running a thriving business, but more than that, I am creating a life that feels spacious. I trust that I have the capacity to build the business and life I so desire, and I'm taking steps towards it day by day. I came into Expansion feeling terrified! I looked around the room on the first day and knew I didn't belong with all the amazing women there. Now, these women are among my closest friends, and I know beyond a doubt that I belong absolutely everywhere I land.
how much did being in expansion influence your income leap?
Omg its a tangible result of being in Expansion, my minimum income now is £10K a month, but usually around £15K at the moment, and looking towards a £20K month this month!
Xanthe
tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
Inside the Circle space, the support was IN DEPTH. I always felt like Maia put a ton of time and energy into reviewing whatever we shared there, and offered advice that was super personalized. And the energy of the other people in the group was soooo encouraging; it felt like we were always celebrating each other's wins so genuinely. After having some experiences that jaded me a little bit re: asking for help in my business, it was soooo healing to feel like everyone in the group really had each other's best interests at heart and championed each other's dreams together.
biggest visions expanded
I simplified my offer suite MAJORLY, so that I don't have to juggle so many launches or create new things all the time, but I didn't have to sacrifice any revenue. The first time I relaunched my signature offer after deciding to bring it back in Expansion, it was the highest-revenue launch I've ever had. I DEFINITELY am working way less than I was before, and my income is more consistent thanks to the business model we created together there!!
summary of expansion:
Expansion not only allowed me to restructure my business to FEEL much simpler and more easeful without sacrificing any revenue in the process, it also helped me recalibrate my nervous system to be okay with simplicity, to trust in what's "enough," and to embrace the space that comes along with that, and Expansion played a huge role in that.
I think folks need to know how much it really can change you on a cellular level to have a group of people cheering you on and championing your dreams with you. I also HIGHLY recommend that you dedicate a lot of energy to this space: attend the calls, schedule time to check in with the community, stretch yourself to ASK for help even if that doesn't come naturally to you (like me!). Soak up the lessons. Use the tools. Let yourself be held. And you'll see amazingggg results.
THE PROCESS
I’ve designed Expansion after the four pillars of transformation that have profoundly impacted my life and the lives of past Expanders:
¹ self-study ² mentoring ³ community ⁴ somatics
¹ self-study ² mentoring ³ community ⁴ somatics
one
Self-Study
As soon as you save your seat for Expansion, you’ll unlock instant access Expansion Foundations: the complete 12-module Self-Study Course. This is the exact methodology I used to scale to multi-6 figures in under two years, working less than 20 hours a week (And taking all summer off).
This is the “theory” piece of Expansion, designed to flip your idea of business strategy on its head and root you in energy-first, freedom-based growth. Energy freedom foundations: Each pre-recorded training builds on the last, each paired with a practical exercise so you can integrate by doing, and incrementally expand your capacity to hold, be seen, receive and grow.
You’ll also get full access to the Expansion Notion Life Dashboard (the system I use to organize my business + life, which each page pairs with a module of Expansion to integrate by doing).
You’ll have the whole time before the mastermind to root into the Expansion methodology and build your foundations—so by the time we kick off live in September, you’re already expanded and ready to call in what you desire hold what’s already yours.
TWO
Live coaching
This is the part that changes you at a cellular level. Expansion Pods: my take on traditional “hot seat coaching.” The “mastermind” effect.
Every week, we gather live for 1.5 hours of real-time coaching: intimate hot seats, deep conversations, and honest feedback from me and the collective wisdom of the group. Come with your sales page, your copy, your big idea, your block, your pricing question, or come with absolutely nothing at all and we will make space for whatever it is that you need at that exact time. We split into three call slots (we call them pods) at different times to keep it intimate and ensure you always get direct support.
Growing and co-creating alongside a small group of expanders builds the confidence, self-trust, and embodied leadership you crave. After a couple of weeks, it does feel like we’re sitting together in the same room, moving mountains in real time. We laugh, we cry, we celebrate, and we create real safety in community. We leave changed week after week.
Each hot seat call is your space to be seen, heard, coached and expanded every single week.
THREE
Community
Where to begin. The absolute heart of the Experience. For the entire four months, you’ll have access to our private Circle community: your space to ask unlimited questions, share your work in progress, get feedback, celebrate your wins, deepen connections with other expanders, collaborate, and tap into the most potent antidote for stagnation: real-time accountability.
This is the only “social media” you won’t want a break from. Past expanders have told me their time on Instagram dropped because they felt more excited to engage here. I mean!!!!
You’ll have direct access to me inside the platform to submit your concepts, plans, questions, and anything you’re navigating, and get my feedback/support between calls. This is the only space where offer my eyes on anything you need them on.
This part of Expansion is priceless. It’s the only space where I offer high-touch office hours—and where I pour most of my energy these days. When you pair this with the momentum of the live hot seat calls, growth becomes inevitable.
FOUR
Somatics
What changed the game for me.
Expansion is different from all “business” masterminds I’ve seen out there, because you won’t just focus on your business vision; you’ll focus on you, as a holistic being. You’ll learn to tune into the wisdom of your body and clear the somatic, energetic, and mental resistance you’ve carried for decades.
Over our four months together, you’ll meet resistance as you expand your self-concept, re-define success, and deepen your mindset work. You don’t attract what you desire—you attract what your body feels safe holding. That’s why somatics is 50% of the Expansion method.
I created the Somatic Vault for this exact reason: a library of pre-recorded EFT (tapping) videos, Kundalini kriyas, visualization journeys, and other modalities designed to expand your nervous system’s resilience—and your capacity to hold more.
When I committed to somatic work, everything changed. Expansion is called Expansion for a reason: you’re expanding your nervous system’s capacity to hold more, call more in, and do it all with less force.
You’ll have access to the Vault for 2 months after the mastermind ends, so you can continue integrating and building the rituals that by then will feel like second nature.
meet your new nervous system rewire spa
The Vault
What stands between the life you have and the life you want isn’t strategy, another course, or the next shiny thing—it’s the outdated story your nervous system and subconscious mind keep replaying.
In Expansion, you will be challenged to go straight to the root of those beliefs and untangle them, piece by piece. That’s why I created The Vault: a growing library of resources, constantly updated to meet each cohort’s unique needs.
You’ll weave these tools into your life for next four months, to see real change in your mind and body. This is an Expansion requirement: to equip yourself and find safety in your body while stepping into a more expansive, more aligned, more embodied version of you.
Expanded Stories
We've sorted these stories into three tracks so you can find your Expanders: root (first year in biz) flame (scaling to 6 figure years) blaze (6 to multi-6 figure years)
Before Expansion I was struggling with feeling behind and a lot of urgency that made everything feel stressful and overwhelming, and I would get nowhere and feel more behind. After Expansion I have so many more tools to both honor and understand what my nervous system is up to, and move beyond it with gradual, gentle consistency.
I found a collaborator and business partner I'm over the moon for. I named and launched the podcast that's been tapping me on the shoulder for literal years. I refined my brand visuals and created a launch plan that feels easeful enough to not send me into a total freeze. I feel connected to a web of badass women cheering each other on. I feel ready to keep deepening my work, be weirder, and embody more of my truth.
kate
I Finally created the program I've been cooking for 2 years (and it only took me a month lol). Finally charged adequately for my work. I didn't work fewer hours, but I worked better hours. I created a calendar system that works. I have a morning routine I love (to break and return to). I have a wealth management system and finally understand how to organize money. I sold out the first program I created, and I have literally SO MANY COLLABS COOKING IT'S BLOWING MY MIND. Went on my first podcasts. Met so many inspiring people.
My only regret is not having done Expansion sooner. I thought I needed to have my shit more together before I joined, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I had no business plan, no organized vision, NO SYSTEMS, and Expansion gave me all of that, PLUS the somatic tools to handle my own growth at all levels. It's worth every penny.
ines
I FINALLY started the second business I've been dreaming about for the past 3 years. I didn't burn my current business to the ground; I have bigger, better plans for it instead. I took a real vacation without my laptop for the first time in only God knows how long. I hopped onto Notion and feel even more Virgo Moon than ever before.
I learned to rest and do everything 5% slower. I read 7 fiction books in under 5 months (prior to that, I probably read 1 in my entire adult life). I reduced my work hours significantly with less guilt and anxiety. Best of all, I have more energy and feel more alive (and I didn't "die"). 🥰
Expansion, and being in Maia's orbit, has changed my life. To my type-A overachievers (bonus points if you're also the eldest daughter of immigrants) who were never taught or given permission to slow down, rest, and receive… Expansion is for you. You're welcome :).
kristine
I'd describe the experience as truly transcendental.
Being surrounded by women with such a wide vision – and guided by a leader as generous and honest as you, Maia – awakened a fire in me.
I felt seen and held in ways I didn't even know were possible. Not just supported, but really expanded.
I was challenged and stretched, for sure. And somehow I felt safer than ever, because I finally learned how to build that safety and trust in me.
I've never felt more alive and connected to myself!
Opportunities began to shift, too. I started receiving invitations to be part of projects that truly align with my vision.
And what I found most valuable: something deeper clicked. I found a real connection between my professional and spiritual practices, allowing me to imprint my soul into the work I do.
emma
I've been in many rooms in the past and thought, "why am I here? This isn't the place." But Expansion is THE room. It's structured and practical; your questions get answered. But it's also spacious, accepting, and kinda magical.
Expansion has been a fertile pot of soil, and my seeds are germinating. I received nutrients, sunlight, and water through Maia's guidance. The correct pot selected, the right conditions found. The womxn who gathered provided fertiliser with their presence, and witnessing their gardens flourish was an inspiration. I found structures and practical back-end systems that work, after trying many others in the past. Clarity on the direction I want to move toward. I changed my company to my own name and ditched offers that were feeling draining to me.
The sense of calm inside my body is a big shift. Roots deepened. Growth ignited. Blossoming inevitable.
josie
The entire experience was incredibly positive, nurturing, welcoming, and most of all, supportive. I was so happy to be a student following a clear path. I felt like everything was laid out expertly for me.
Most importantly, I have been regular with my daily practice from the very first day I began it. As a former endurance athlete, I didn't doubt that I would be able to, but it still feels really gratifying. I'm also just wrapping up my biggest month of revenue. I adopted Maia’s Profit First system adaptation: I read about it years ago but just never bothered. Everything feels clearer, easier, and more expanded.
If you're on the fence, if you feel like maybe you're too old (I’m 53!), or an outlier of some kind, or that you'd already know all the material inside, let me tell you: it's going to change your life.

JOIN THE WAITLIST TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW
Expansion Volume 7 sold out in 3 hours flat. Vol 6 in 5. And so on. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you’re feeling a strong pull to join, I highly recommend being on the waitlist.
(And, this ↑ kind of community connection is the embodiment of everything I teach inside Expansion: to become the invitation.)

tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
I would say that being inside Expansion feels like the answer to a prayer. From the hot seat coaching pods to the vault full of resources, everything just made so much sense, and it was all so intentionally built: a true temple that welcomed us in without judgement, and allowed us to walk out so much stronger and whole.
I clarified my core message and who my client archetype is. I simplified my business ecosystem and decided to finally break up with 1:1s, which I was so scared to do but so ready for. At the forefront of all my offers and future creations, capacity will always come first. I organized my business back-end in Notion.
I took a mini sabbatical while I was in Expansion and got out of functional freeze! (The biggest win of them all!)
I finally know what it looks like to choose myself and keep the highest vision of my dream life at the forefront. Got to connect with so many expanders, the people I used to pray to meet.
Now after Expansion, I’m feeling safe enough now to actually slow down and see that the world doesn't end when I stop forcing myself to always be on the go
I've been in so many business masterminds, and what Maia have built is the exact world I always wanted to be a part of. She has created something revolutionary in the world of business, this changed me on a cellular level.
I now know how to sit with discomfort, trust my body, and beyond that, trust the timing of the Universe. I really see this time inside Expansion as the modern-day ashram I went into to learn how to recognize when I'm dysregulated, to trust community and sisterhood once again, and to begin reconnecting with my voice, my dreams, and my vision for the future.

tangible breakthroughs/somatic shifts:
I FINALLY started the second business I've been dreaming about for the past 3 years. I didn't burn my current business to the ground; I have bigger, better plans for it instead. I took a real vacation without my laptop for the first time in only God knows how long. I hopped onto Notion and feel even more Virgo Moon than ever before.
Biggest three visions expanded:
○ Abundance in time, money, and energy has finally entered the chat now that my nervous system has stopped preparing for loss.
○ Beach vacation w/o my laptop.
○ I started The Right Room Collective and the first event is happening in a few weeks!
The coaching calls were magic. Some days I felt vulnerable and cried. Other days I felt so motivated and fired up. On all of those days, I felt so seen, heard, and most importantly held by Maia and the community!
I met the best, most aligned, most alive version of myself in just a few months!
I learned to rest and do everything 5% slower. I read 7 fiction books in under 5 months (prior to that, I probably read 1 in my entire adult life). I reduced my work hours significantly with less guilt and anxiety. Best of all, I have more energy and feel more alive (and I didn't "die"). 🥰
Expansion, and being in Maia's orbit, has changed my life. To my type-A overachievers (bonus points if you're also the eldest daughter of immigrants) who were never taught or given permission to slow down, rest, and receive… Expansion is for you. You're welcome :).
Curriculum
-
We land with the Core of the work: my Expanded framework, blending neurosciens somatics and nervous system wisdom into our business coaching came. With my Vision Casting Formula, you’ll write your AIMS, Future Self Manifesto, and create your Expansion Vision. You’ll get your Expansion Notion Dashboard, a resource you will build out week by week with the aim of having a complete and integrated system by the end of the 12 modules.
As always, we start with where you’re at VS where you want to be. You’ll begin by auditing where you currently stand in your time, freedom, income, and energy.
This module will help you get crystal clear on the lifestyle you want to create and reverse engineer your business model to support it.
You’ll explore different business models that match different lifestyle goals, so you can build with intention, not urgency.
Your homework this week is to anchor into your vision and set up your Expansion Dashboard as your foundation.
This will become your blueprint for the rest of the experience and beyond.
-
Now that your vision is clear and you have a sense of your current position regarding time, freedom, income, and energy, it’s time to learn how to call your energy back.
This week, you’ll dive into the fundamentals of nervous system regulation and build your first (and most important) toolbox to expand your window of tolerance: a morning practice.
This week's goal is to identify your energy leaks at their roots and start transforming them through a morning practice that you’ll commit to for the next 4 months (and beyond).
Think of your business as a bucket. If there are holes—like weak boundaries, unclear offers, outdated money mindsets, or a poor customer journey—no matter how much water you pour in, everything leaks out.
This week is about expanding your capacity to hold more and repairing the cracks in your vessel (business) through somatics and mindset work.
Your only homework is to build a morning practice you'll commit to from now on. -
Let’s learn how to bend time and make it as elastic as possible. I’ll guide you through how I set up my calendar and how to design your schedule for time freedom.
You’ll learn my energy freedom methodology to ensure you’re carving out at least an hour of focused time every day.
I’ll share my best practices for time and energy management, (Including my focus, flow, admin system that changed the game for me), blending classic time management techniques with my own energetic approaches.
You’ll define your unique version of consistency and capacity, designing your life around your personal boundaries.
Your homework is to set up your calendar with these principles in mind.
Throughout the week and during our group coaching calls, we’ll check in on how these new systems are working for you and explore additional energy management techniques that have been effective for me. -
We’ve cast the vision, reclaimed our energy, and cleared space on your calendar.
Now, what do we do with all this time and energy?
We buy back even more time by learning how to focus on what truly matters.This week is about mastering the art of prioritization, finding your flow, and getting into the deep rest/deep focus mindset. You’ll learn how to recognize procrastination—or “kryptonite tasks,” as I call them—and build a flow to snap out of it.
It’s about doing one thing at a time, moving faster but with more calm. Less, but better.You’ll learn how to plan your weeks, months, quarters and years with my HORIZONS template, and my yearly capacity planning template. This module is quite revolutionary and if you ask me its worth the whole Expansion investment on its own.
We’ll learn more about what our procrastination is trying to tell us, and address resistance from the root.
Around this time in the pods, we’re usually discussing the resistances that come up when doing less. The mind always rebels against doing less, and the invitation here is to get curious about what that resistance is trying to tell us.
By this point, you’ll have the resources from the Vault (somatic practices) and your morning practice, so you can quickly shift from being in your head to being in your body.
Your homework this week is to do less, but better. We will keep each other accountable on this very difficult task. -
During the first month of Expansion, you’ll gradually gather enough data to audit:
⌾ How you generate revenue (and how much of it)⌾ How you deliver your offerings (and how much of YOUR time it takes)
⌾ How you envision scaling your impact (without scaling YOUR workload)
⌾ How much profit you keep (after paying expenses, your team, and yourself)
⌾ How much freedom and flexibility you currently have
And with this clarity, we can start seeing patterns, and start breaking them.
This week is all about understanding the anatomy of a healthy offer ecosystem and optimizing your service suite. Whether you’re a service provider or have a product-based business, you have an offer ecosystem. The quality of that ecosystem directly influences the quality of your life.
At Expansion, my focus has been on increasing the LTV (lifetime value) of my community. This means focusing not on acquiring more clients, more audience, or more reach, but on deepening the loyalty of the community I already have.
I’ll share my tools and insights I've gathered through the years so you can build a business that thrives on repeat customers and an invested community.
When you create an offer suite that seamlessly integrates all your offers, your clients can easily transition from one service/product to the next. What do they need before working with me? What do they need after?
Around month 2 In our platform and coaching sessions, we’re usually brainstorming offer ideas, share our current ones, and exploring how to simplify our offer suites to maximize impact sustainably.Every good offer ecosystem needs an entry point: a freebie, a taste of what working with you actually feels like. We'll return to this on week ten though.
-
The biggest shift this week will be moving from “Here’s what I can do for you” (leading with skills) to “Here’s who you will become after working with me” (leading with embodiment).
This week, we’ll get crystal clear on your promise, your transformation—how your services take your clients from point A to point B.
As a resource, I’ll share my A to B framework (the small but mighty A to B♡) so you can start mapping out what your transformation, and promise is, and create (or refine) a core offer that can deliver that transformation without scaling your workload.
Right now, you might be doing a lot of custom proposals, switching gears to meet your clients’ needs, saying yes to all projects, and handling it all on your own.You might be running missaligned or draining group containers where you’re giving your energy away in all the wrong places.
You might be completely new to this world of offers, and that’s perfect too.
Here’s where the core offer is a game changer.
We want to create (or elevate) your main service, the “thing” you’re known for—the way you deliver your expertise, whether it's design, 1:1 services, a program, coaching, mentoring, etc.—so your clients can experience that transformation consistently.
We’ll consolidate this into a repeatable, scalable offer that you can deliver again and again, and here’s where the magic happens.(This is where marketing also gets infinitely easier)
This will not only streamline your workflow and client journey, but it will also be way easier to run, and have a greater impact on your clients' lives.With more clarity on your offer’s transformation, we’ll create messaging that aligns with what you offer, helping you attract aligned clients, customers, and collaborators. But more on messaging and voice next week.
This weeks homework is to polish your core offer, and keep simplifying your offer ecosystem. -
If you have an offer-to-audience misalignment, your business, offers, and transformation can be amazing, but they’re not reaching the right people.
This week, we will learn how to crack your voice with resonance.
Not only in business, but in life, who are you, before the world shaped the idea of you?
Finding your voice is not about creating an “online avatar”; it’s about finding a way to accurately represent yourself.
You’ll start feeling the resistance that comes with being seen in a more authentic way, and that’s why I’ll talk about 5th chakra codes: throat chakra, your voice, self-expression, and word.
I’ll give you the tools so you can discover what your true essence and messaging sound like, and we’re going to be doing a lot of creative writing to develop your true voice and give it the resonance it needs so it reaches its people.
While next week we will focus on expanding that message, this week is all about remembering who you are, what your message sounds like, and breaking the fear of being seen by seeing yourself as you truly are.I'll add some resources from the most incredible copywriter I’ve met, Lois from Up Club, into the vault, so you can start using her magic in your own messaging and remove the self-censorship and fear of being seen that you’ve had for years.
I cannot explain the confidence that owning your message gives you.
This week, you'll practice sharing your voice, and you'll come up with the messaging for your core offer. -
My take on social media and content creation. Embodied marketing, or how we call it: become the invitation.
You’ll learn how to create content with resonance, find your unique style, plan your content according to your capacity, add storytelling to your strategy, and make social media way, way WAY more chill than it is right now.
I’ll share my workflows for efficiency and my best practices for sustainable social media, digital boundaries necessary for growing an online business with ease, and community-building, along with other practices for making social media a high-impact, low-lift way to ground your business.
I’ll introduce a framework that has been incredibly useful for me in creating content with ease: we’ll get to know your audience so you can create content that truly serves them.
It’s time to break the fear of being seen, once and for all.No homework this week, just integration and preparation to share your freebie in the next weeks.
-
The infamous Money Module.
We spend a whole month on Money. There’s a reason why I leave this one for the last month in Expansion. Because you need enough capacity for this one to truly sink in.While we build our freebie, we’re going to do some heavy internal work: re-wire your brain for abundance consciousness (versus scarcity consciousness) and learn about money management as the tool that can (and will) make your vision come true.
I always say this: you can’t grow what you can’t track, and this system is all about clarity.
In the training, we will go through a specific strategy to manage your finances and actually watch your money grow: the profit first system.
Or, learning how to give your money a job (because money loves having a job).
This system changed the game for me. I learned how to pay myself (versus thinking that money left in my account was "profit") and changed the way I relate to money in general.
On the energetics side, we’ll study second chakra codes: In the context of money and wealth, the second chakra's influence extends to the dynamism with which we manage our finances.
So more than working with money, we’ll work with our worth and open our energy for receiving more (while also learning about the strategic side of money management).I’ve left this training towards the end because having awareness and clarity on other blockages in your life will make it very obvious what your hidden agenda is towards making more money.
Our homework is to keep working on our freebie, we will be launching it during the following weeks.
This one is very alchemic. -
Community Building Week ♡
With clarity on messaging and offers, we'll share with your community a little taste of what working with you feels like. We will use Seth Godin’s This Is Marketing book as our guide, specially his mantra: “people like us do things like this”. You’ll see.
This week is positioning 101. Everything I learned from my four years working at an agency, plus my embodied experience with it.This week, we will get super clear on your community. Who are they? What are their goals and passions? What struggles are they going through? And how can you be an expander for them?
Creating freebies that show my community what I’m about on a deeper level has been such a beautiful way to build trust within my own tribe and turn community members into loyal clients.
I want to teach you some best practices for community building, my way.How can we become a resource for people who want to go through the transformation that we promise?
We’re going to focus on the minimum viable freebie—something simple but impactful: a WhatsApp group challenge, a PDF, an IG highlight, a workshop, a tutorial, a guide, a newsletter, etc.
We will melt perfectionism into action and create something simple, unique, easy to run, but with as much impact as possible.
With a clear core offer, supportive systems, a regulated nervous system, endless resources, and a clear voice, I promise you'll intuitively create a freebie that will lead to trust and, eventually, sales.
The homework is to share freebie ideas with each other, and create it. -
You have absolutely all the tools.
And not only that, by now you have a community that feels like a backbone.
I’ve designed Expansion with one ambitious goal in mind: to help you jump into action now and kick off momentum for good.
Not when you’re ready, not when it’s perfect. You are ready now.
You know enough about yourself. Now, the only thing left to do is turn all that self-awareness into the fuel that will light the fire in your belly and push you into a wave of momentum you’ve never felt before.
This is a less-is-more container where, by being in the right community, you’ll feel the expansion effect: Seeing other expanders inside the program break fears is a powerful motivator.
It's a feedback loop, and the upward spiral is hard to stop once it’s in motion.
So this week, we practice that. You’ll have the “melt fear Workbook” to print and work with your blockages now at a cellular level. -
We close as we started: with the vision.
How have you changed since you began this journey?
On the first half of this module I’ll share my yearly planning method and template for you to plan the rest of the year after Expansion is over (unless you join us in Expanded!!)
In the training, I’ll teach you how I plan my quarters and years, and how I aim to take at least 3 weeks off every quarter and 4 days off every month.
We’ll discuss best practices for capacity planning and how to scale sustainably moving forward.
The second half is very emotional.
The vault will remain open for the next 2 months, so you can continue integrating.
We’ll close with a ritual that, every time I do it, the floodgates open. I can’t wait to see who we all become.
hello my love
In case you don’t know me, here’s a long intro, because I love to write.
My name is Maia. I am a lot of things but if you ask me what I do, I’ll tell you I love flirting with the limits of possibility.
I've heard my clients call me an energetic coach, mindset coach, work and play mentor, but at the core, I am a visionary. I help leaders move their visions into reality, and learn how to call in more while doing less, through expanding their capacity to hold more.
Now, how I do that looks very, very different from your typical business coach. The work we do inside Expansion is deep, is alchemic, it's not for everyone, and that's the magik of it.
In essence, Expansion is the space where strong womxn soften.
I could give you the classic bullet points of a typical business coach bio: how I scaled my design studio into a six-figure business with a four-person team in under a year, how I let that go and built a whole new coaching business and scaled it to multiple six figures in two, selling out this, six figure launches, booking out that, more numbers, more facts.
But through the years I've learned a very precious lesson: Energy is the only currency that matters. And when you call your energy back, the floodgates will open (for other "currencies" too).
Capacity is my only currency.
That's why I shifted my approach into what brought you here: I aligned the life I want to live with the business I want to lead. I'm in it for freedom, and I know you ended up right here, because you are too.
The seed of my work is to show the possibility to build a business that creates as much freedom as it does profit. And to make that your burning desire.
And,
let’s make it super clear: You didn’t start this for the bullshit boss babe energy.
You’re in it for freedom.
Like you, my goal is freedom.
My dream is to live in the Mediterranean countryside, grow my own food, and create generational wealth while I sleep, sustaining my family with the business foundations I built in my 20s and 30s.
I’m on track, and this is my promise to you:
I’m here to help you build a business that doesn’t consume your life.
No, scratch that:
I’m here to help you build a business that makes you want to jump out of bed every morning.
I want to equip you with the systems, digital organization, mindset, and nervous system resilience you need to work less than 20 hours a week while consistently putting aside money in your FFA* toward your dreams.
(Financial Freedom Account*—we’ll dive deep into this inside Expansion ♡)
I’ve combined the most transformative modalities, technical skills, business strategies, and my own hard-won learnings into this container I call Expansion.
So, more than a “course” or “program,” Expansion is a process of becoming.
4 months, each theme a rite of passage, building upon the last to clarify the lifestyle you want and reverse-engineer your business goals (and beyond) based on that vision.
That’s the power of a well-designed business model suited to the life you crave—it gives you the breathing space to live life on your terms.
So, instead of doing “more,” Expansion is about returning to the roots.
Doing less. Simplifying.
If your only goal is to be a millionaire, sorry, that’s not my main goal. You can look for a coach that will tell you that you need to post more, have better funnels and move fast and break things. Here, we move slow and make things. My goal isn’t just money. My goal is wealth—to buy the home of my dreams and run a business that lets me take MONTHS off whenever I want while I focus on writing my books.
I wish I’d known this sooner, but no template, virtual assistant, course, podcast, or coaching program will make any difference if you’re not focused on this one thing:
Creating safety around your definition of success.
Expansion is your playground to practice renewing your self-concept, supported by next-level accountability.
Just picture this: four months dedicated to building the life you want, surrounded by womxn like you and me. Just imagine who you could become.
We have such a beautiful time ahead ♡
Expanded Stories
We've sorted these stories into three tracks so you can find your Expanders: root (first year in biz) flame (scaling to 6 figure years) blaze (6 to multi-6 figure years)
This program is going to transform you completely, in the most beautifully subtle ways. Like, true transformation. Not momentary overwhelm and excitement that for a split second has you thinking you've figured shit out, and the next day you're back to anxious spiralling. No. This is deep, in-your-ancestral-roots transformation. You will come out the other side the same, but so profoundly different.
I’m now carving out a routine and a way of managing myself and my money that truly reflects my rhythms and creates clarity in my day-to-day instead of overwhelm, aka feeling like I have my shit togetherrr.
eliza
I laid out a much clearer vision of my offer ecosystem, and got clarity on my core message and niche. I polished my offer's messaging; actually, I fully redid my website. I organized my whole back-end in Notion. And I learned a lot about my own capacity (still learning), because my goal is to work less and make more money. It helped me get organized, respect my own work time, and shift my priorities around how much I pour into certain clients versus myself. Being able to set those boundaries is huge.
The community is BRUTAL, in the best way! Mega expansive, sorority-driven, open-minded, loving, and hard-working.
Do it. You won't regret it. You'll gain so many new connections and possibilities, and a different, aligned way of seeing the world. And more than anything, you'll keep believing in that voice inside you that says another way exists. That another way is possible.
carla
Since joining Expansion, I have gained clarity and confidence about how I want my business to exist in the world and how I want to lead it. I discovered what it truly requires to position my creative culinary studio, navigate growth, and take full ownership of my role. This year, I was able to take leadership of my team in ways I had never done before, which allowed us to create incredible events, including being part of the Food Culture Days in Vevey (Swiss-French) and being the highlight of the whole Biennale.
These breakthroughs were not only about achieving tangible outcomes; they were about understanding my role, my capacity, and the possibilities for my studio while living and working in Switzerland. Expansion has given me the clarity, tools, and courage to take these steps, and this understanding feels like the foundation for everything I want to achieve next.
kika
So, are we doing this?
If you're ready to move past your fears, and jump into this work with that fire in your belly, I promise you'll look back and think: how did I ever doubt myself?
Cheers to your inevitable expansion 🏴☠️
