About us
Let us tell you something about our mission.

A pathway to wholeness

I started this journey because I believe in bringing together a few key concepts that deserve more attention and exploration.

Aligning with nature and bridging seemingly contrasting topics like science and ancient wisdom are at the heart of my vision. Mother nature offers profound wisdom, and by working alongside her, we honor the interconnectedness of all life. It’s through this connection that we help both the planet and ourselves thrive.

I believe true inspiration comes from living authentically and with purpose. When we align our head and heart and embrace all parts of ourselves, we create a ripple effect that encourages others to do the same. Living true to ourselves not only brightens our own lives but also contributes to a more connected and balanced world.

Let’s unite our hearts guided by nature and science to create a more loving and harmonious world.

Who we are

We are passionate, creative thinkers who thrive on inspiring and empowering others. Our mission is to help people discover their potential. We aim to create impactful experiences that spark growth and joy.

Hey there! I am Maaike, the founder of Astranocta. I love helping people feel good — whether it's by sharing knowledge, or inspiring them to find their own confidence again. Happy people are my jam. That is also why I started Astranocta. I wanted to share my knowledge to help people feel good and be the best versions of themselves they can be.
In my free time, you'll find me dancing, shooting arrows, or diving headfirst into an escape room (seriously, I love those things). Oh, and designing, puzzling, or discovering something new? Sign me up. I also get ridiculously excited about the small stuff, like finding the perfect house decorations or a cute outfit. Life's little adventures make me so happy.
I’m quite sensitive (shoutout to my fellow HSPs!), which allows me to pick up on so much more than meets the eye. Details? Absolutely. Emotions? Even more so. This sensitivity also enables me to notice signals and patterns that others might overlook. Over time, I’ve embraced my sensitivity as a superpower, and now I want to help you do the same—rediscover your unique strengths and transform your challenges into a source of empowerment.
