🌕 SOFT SPHINX RISING

A 13-week embodiment journey through the SEVEN GATES of FEMININE POWER

“There comes a point where the work must stop.
Not because it failed — but because it has done enough.”

You’ve spent years growing, healing, understanding.
Now, it’s time to live.

The End of Fixing. The Beginning of Wholeness.

Soft Sphinx Rising is not another program for self-improvement.

It’s an initiation into the art of being human again.

A 13-week embodiment journey through the seven gates of feminine power —

where we stop analyzing, stop performing, and remember what it feels like

to live from softness, sovereignty, and truth.

This is not about becoming perfect.

It’s about becoming real.

Every woman I work with holds vast amounts of Power. I will help you remember yours.

Meet Maike

Feminine Mentor • Keeper of the Gates • Sustainability Specialist • Protectress of Mama Gaia

For years, I helped organizations build sustainable systems.
Now, I help women do the same within themselves.

My work bridges ecology, embodiment, and empowerment —
merging the intelligence of mother earth, Mama Gaia, with the wisdom of the feminine body.

When we remember how to self-regulate —
we become the sustainable systems the world is craving.

The Seven Gates of Soft Sphinx Rising

Each gate invites you to remember a part of yourself
that has been exiled in the name of performance.

0 The Wolf

The Call Home — Returning from exile, remembering your belonging. The journey begins with a collective invocation — a remembrance of your instinctual self.
You’ll awaken the wild feminine, call your scattered parts home, and feel your belonging to Earth and sisterhood.

1 Root into Mother Earth

Union with the Feminine Source — Grounding into Earth and body. Root into the feminine divine — the source that holds you steady beneath all transformation.
Through grounding practices, altar creation, and embodiment rituals, you’ll rebuild nervous-system safety and sacred boundaries that support your sovereignty.

2 The Medicine Tree

Beneath the soil of your being, your Medicine Tree waits.
Here, you descend into the womb — not to fix, but to listen.
You tend the roots of your lineage, meet the ones who came before, and retrieve what was always yours to carry.
This is the gate where your sacral power becomes remembrance: creation, inheritance, and belonging woven into one.

3 The Serpent Trials

Shadow Trials — Reclaiming power through descent. In this descent, the snake medicine teaches transformation through truth.
You’ll face shadow patterns that keep you small, reclaim your personal power, and shed perfectionism for embodied confidence.

4 Wild & Ferocious Love

Boundaries, anger alchemy, embodied courage. Here, Lilith rises as love that refuses to abandon itself.
Anger becomes sacred clarity; boundaries become devotion.
You’ll anchor safety inside your body, practice fierce compassion, and make your home a living temple of empathy and courage.

5 The Sphinx Voice

Communication, truth-telling, healing the sister wound. This is the reclamation of your truth.
Through voice, vulnerability, and sisterhood, you’ll heal the sister wound and learn to speak power without performance.
The Sphinx teaches discernment — how to communicate with grace, mystery, and integrity.

6 The Owl Vision

Clear sight, intuition, discernment. Owl medicine opens clear sight and intuition.
You’ll learn to track your own frequency, refine perception beyond fear, and trust your inner oracle.

7 The Dragon Flight

Crown of Belonging — Creativity, sovereignty, freedom. The final gate — belonging to the Whole.
Dragon energy merges heaven and earth, spirit and flesh.
You’ll meet Source as both Mother and Father, open to creative flow, and embody your full sovereignty — freedom anchored in love.

Integration – The Living Temple

Soil & Soul – Embodiment and Wholeness. The journey completes as you weave everything you’ve gathered into daily life. This is the gate of embodiment—where healing becomes rhythm, sovereignty becomes simplicity, and your life becomes your temple. You rest into wholeness, grounded, creative, and alive.

Those who have passed through the gates

Jana

“For the first time in my life, I stopped twisting myself to be loved and began to feel whole in my own skin.”

When I began working with Maike, I had reached a real low point in my life. Yet another breakup left me feeling broken and unworthy, I felt so hopeless. I could see my patterns clearly — fear of rejection, fear of abandonment — and I kept shapeshifting into who I thought men wanted me to be in order to be loved. But it was never enough. Each ending left me feeling emptier and more convinced I wasn’t lovable as I was.

I had already been practicing yoga, mindfulness, and self-healing for years, and I knew on some level that I was enough. But I couldn’t embody it. I couldn’t hold it when life tested me. What I longed for was to finally feel whole in myself — not suppressing my needs, not bending myself out of shape — but truly living authentically.

Working with Maike changed everything. With her loving guidance, we uncovered the deep beliefs from childhood that had been running my life. And together, we were able to release them. The anxiety and pressure in my chest lifted. For the first time, I felt whole on my own -- it's hard to put the feeling into words.

The shifts in my life were immediate. My relationships began to change. Even when a recent breakup happened, I could feel the sadness without collapsing into despair. I no longer made myself smaller or twisted myself to be loved. Instead, I trusted that I am worthy of love just as I am — and that the right people will meet me there.

Maike’s work gave me the transformation I had been searching for, for years. If you’re ready to finally let go of the patterns that keep you stuck and discover your true worth, I cannot recommend her enough.

Monika Innes

“Maike’s calm presence made it safe to look at the places in me I had avoided for years.”

I had the opportunity to work with Maike for around three months, and it was a truly valuable experience. As a trauma-informed coach, she brought a level of presence that made it easy for me to feel safe and supported from the very beginning.

What stood out most was her intuition—she had a remarkable ability to sense what I needed, even when I struggled to express it myself. Maike helped me by asking the right questions and created space for anything that came up. She helped me gain more understanding of my feelings towards my parents and finally move forward with peace.

Her professional yet warm approach allowed me to explore difficult emotions without feeling overwhelmed. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking trauma-informed support on their journey.

Thanks Maike :)

Annette Hoerman

“With Maike I could finally meet my deepest emotions without running away — and discover the strong, tender woman underneath.”

It can be painful going into deep emotional states, but the sessions with Maike made me understand how valuable it is (and necessary) to let me have those experiences. I feel completely safe with her. Her loving presence guides me into those moments when as a child I have felt alone, unseen, unloved. She makes me feel this pain instead of escaping in my mind and abandoning myself in this moment. She helps me uncover my true, vulnerable and strong self - the one that has been forgotten. These moments are magical, and they resonate long after the session when I reconnect with my inner children to understand myself on increasingly deeper levels.

The re-parenting helps me to grow as an adult as well, to be more of myself. Maike is an amazing guide, very gentle in her approach, and firm, too. When she feels there is more to look at, she will guide me there; she will ask the perfect questions and give me the space to explore my inner landscape.

Sara Taubermann

“Session by session, the heavy truths I’d carried for years began to loosen; I found my inner safe place again.”

I am so glad I sought help from Maike! She has helped me to face my mental barriers that have held me back for years. Thanks to each trauma therapy I have been able to let go of old truths and move on.

Maike had a very friendly way when she guided me through past traumas that have become truths, . She supports when it is hard, listens and clearly explains what is happening when it is difficult. Thanks to Maike I have found my inner safe place and been able to let go of old things that have haunted me for a long time.
