Meet Maja – Transformational Life & Leadership Coach for Heart-Led Visionaries
From designing spaces to empowering souls, my journey has always been about transformation.
I didn't become a coach because my life was easy. Born in Iceland to teenage parents and raised in one of Reykjavik’s toughest neighbourhoods, I learned early that grit and resilience isn’t optional - it’s essential. I was the first in my family to attend university, let alone study abroad, earning a degree in Interior Architecture, followed by an MBA in Management. I went on to build businesses that blended strategy, design and heart. Beneath the external success was a deeper knowing. Being human is hard. Being a leader while human is harder.
I've walked through burnout, grief, trauma, reinvention. I know what it is like to hold it all together, for a team, a family, a dream while quietly feeling like I am falling a part inside.
It was life’s deepest heartbreak - the sudden loss of my beloved husband after 28 years together - that truly cracked me open and called me even deeper. Grief became a brutal but beautiful teacher, shifting the way I lead, live, and serve.
And so I continue to work with leaders who often carry much but reveal little. Founders. Creatives. Executives. Visionaries. People with big missions who also need a place to land and breathe.
Today, I guide change-makers to lead from the inside out - with clarity, courage, and authenticity. My work weaves together transformational life coaching, business strategy, emotional intelligence, and soul-centered insight. I’m certified in transformational coaching, business and grief coaching, and soon-to-be Mindvalley-certified (lifelong learning is my love language).
I’ve coached leaders through burnout, reinvention, grief, scaling, hypergrowth and self-doubt. I meet them where they are - and walk with them toward who they’re becoming. Stronger, bolder, and more authentic leaders. I am here to hold space for your wholeness - the brave, messy, brilliant human behind the title.
I help my leaders lead with greater clarity, boundaries, truth, and heart.
Because we thrive in partnership.
And yes; it can be lonely at the top.
But you are not alone here.
If you’re navigating change or craving clarity, I’m here to remind you:
You are the creator of your life. It’s time to lead it - beautifully, bravely, and from within.
I LOVE GETTING TO THE CORE OF IT ALL!
IT = INFINITE TRUTH.

"it's not all about you"
you will be an even greater leader.

Coaching Contact
I work with most clients for one year.
Some I work with for 3-6 months, several I have worked with for 3-5 years and one I have worked with since 2007.
I only take on a select few one-on-one coachee's per year.
My coaching is not for the faint of heart. I always come from a place of love for such is my nature but I do not coddle perceived limitations. I want you to far exceed your own expectations and expect nothing less than for your life and business to positively transform to the greatest of heights.
I only work with those whose word is more powerful than any contract. For serious and appropriate inquiries; email to schedule a discovery call.
