Finding Maikology
Welcome to Maikology – a name inspired by the intriguing connection between my name, Maiko, and the world of fungi, or "Myco." This clever play on words reflects my fascination with mycology, the study of fungi. My journey into the world of mushrooms was sparked by the enlightening talks of Paul Stamets, the renowned mycologist.
Delving into mycology, I discovered the profound analogy of mycelium, the intricate network beneath the earth's surface that facilitates the exchange of nutrients among various plants and trees. This concept resonates with my vision as a life coach, author, and trainer. Much like the symbiotic relationships within mycelium, I strive to be an integral part of a network that fosters growth and support. Join me on this transformative journey as we explore the interconnectedness of life through Maikology.
“Physicians are taught about how the body works. We are not taught anything about how to rehabilitate physically. It takes a doctorate in Physical Therapy and a Master trainer to rehabilitate a person. Watching Maiko and the physical therapist amazed me. They were talking about all kinds of structured exercises I knew nothing about.
Maiko came up with a plan. We started working. I am a person who thinks that if you push harder; it is better. Then I get hurt. Maiko pushed me but ensured that I healed and grew in a healthy way.
Maiko also inspired me. I didn’t realize that she is also a life coach. I learned from her wisdom of body and mind. I take example from her understanding of the human condition.
Today, with Maiko’s training and guidance, I am keeping the promise I made to myself. I am strong. I don’t hurt like I did. I am thankful I have her on my team. Maiko pushes me when I need it and pulls me back when I am foolish. I have a new beginning and a life of longevity. I would not be where I am without her knowledge, wisdom and thoughtful caring about my wellbeing.”
