For Athletes

Step into your power beyond the spotlight

You’ve mastered the game.
Now what?

You are disciplined, intense, and self-sufficient.

You’ve mastered control—of your performance, your image, your emotions.

People admire you for it. But few understand how isolating that control can feel.

When your identity has been built around excellence, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are outside of the performance.

What happens when the spotlight fades? When the game ends? When people stop watching?

This is the part no one prepared you for.

What do you do when the game is over? It’s no longer about maximizing output.

It’s about unraveling everything that’s no longer real—and stepping into the version of you that doesn’t need to be impressive to be whole.

Be known for who you are, not what you do.

Beyond performance

Your worth isn’t tied to stats, titles, or timelines. We separate who you are from what you do so that you can live from identity - not output.

Unhook from expectations

The expectations of others create an emotional weight that no amount of winning can relieve. Shift from proving to owning - leading from an authentic, unshakeable core.

Make your own decisions

Every decision you’ve made felt like it had a thousand other voices attached to it. It’s time to strip away the noise and choose from inner clarity - your own internal compass.

Greatness got you here.
Truth will take you to the next level.

You’ve outgrown the version of you that was built to perform.

I’m not here to optimize you.

I’m here to strip back everything that isn’t yours.
To meet the part of you that’s been waiting underneath the grind—quiet, clear, and unshakable.

I’ll meet you where no one else has.

No more playing the role.
No more proving.
Just real work, rooted in truth - held in safety, and honored as a sacred exchange.

If that’s what you’re here for, we’ll both know.
Let’s talk.

  • Maki is a brilliant coach. She is straightforward, honest, and taught me how to keep moving forward when at times it would have been easier to get stuck in the same old rut. I made huge strides in managing my anxiety with Maki’s help and have done things I never thought I would before working with her. I highly recommend Maki for personal growth and improvement.

  • Coaching with Maki has been life-changing. I got more out of the first 30 minutes of meeting with her than I got from years and thousands of dollars invested in therapy. Her no b.s. approach helped me face things about myself that I had avoided for years. Maki gives you a simple to follow process that helps you integrate what you’ve learned about yourself and create changes that make a huge difference in your life.

  • Maki has been an amazing resource in helping me grow. Not only did she help me find the root cause of my deep dissatisfaction professionally, she truly assisted me across all areas of my life. I am more confident showing up authentically and I am forever grateful for the support she’s given me.

  • Maki has a way about her that immediately puts me at ease. She is an amazing communicator, and provides a positive, different way of seeing a situation that is constructive and valuable. After working with Maki, I have learned that recognizing patterns, removing toxicity, and shifting my perspective are the keys to a balanced and peaceful life. It can be done.

    Michelle Campbell

  • I was privileged to work with Maki during a time when I needed an outside voice to get me over some critical hurdles I was facing in my development. Better than anyone I’ve seen before, Maki helps you drill down into how YOU measure your success. This goes beyond goals and accountability, which is what most coaching entails. She really gets to the heart of what’s important to you so that you can see and pursue a new path for yourself.

    Scott Parman

  • Maki helped me hone in on what I want out of life. It’s easy to forget that sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, then start making improvements to get there. It won’t happen all at once, but over time she helps you become more empowered and in touch with who you are. She’s taught me that by knowing who I am, and by listening to my gut, I can make the changes needed to create the life I want.

When you’re ready to stop performing, you’ll find yourself waiting.
