Senior Leadership Advisor + Intuitive
About Maiccu:
My work is grounded in real experience, built through responsibility, loss, resilience, and a lifelong ability to understand both people and animals deeply.
Who i am
I am Maiccu Kostiainen - a leader, intuitive, and communicator between what is visible and what is felt but unseen.
I spent twenty years at Finnair Technical Operations, a world where accuracy, trust, and responsibility matter every second. I worked as a hydraulic mechanic, receiving inspector, logistics supervisor, and AOG manager — roles that demand calm under pressure, clear decision-making, and leadership you can rely on.
This was the foundation of my leadership: practical, steady, honest, and grounded in real life.
My profesional roots
Alongside my professional career, I developed a natural sensitivity for animals and the unseen world.
For over two decades I have worked as an animal communicator and intuitive, helping people understand the deeper emotional lives of their animals and themselves. My readings often connect loved ones, clarify emotions, and bring insight that supports healing.
This intuitive ability is not separate from my leadership - it is part of how I understand people, systems, energy, and truth.
more of my story
My Intuitive Path
At 1:29 a.m. on an April morning in 2020, my partner Ingela passed away.
That moment split my life open.
129 became the symbol of transformation, guidance, and timing - a reminder that spirit arrives exactly when needed. It is now the compass for everything I offer.
129 - The Moment Everything Shifted
After Ingela’s passing, I moved to Costa Rica and became the Chief of Ceremony at Rythmia, the world’s largest ayahuasca retreat. For years, I led a multicultural team of over 40 people and supported more than 18,000 guests through profound, often life-changing experiences.
I brought with me the leadership values shaped in Finland - clarity, integrity, empathy, direct communication, and a deep respect for people.
These Nordic principles became the backbone of my leadership at Rythmia: when leaders take care of their people, their people take care of the mission.
My role required presence, emotional intelligence, crisis handling, compassion, boundaries, and the ability to hold steady in the most challenging human moments.
It shaped me into a leader who understands transformation from the inside out.
Leadership in the Deep End
The Collapse and Rebuilding
In 2025, after an armed home invasion that took the life of my dog Chumbe, I chose to return to Finland and rebuild my life completely.
What could have broken me instead clarified me.
My intuition sharpened, my leadership deepened, and 129 became not only a moment - but a mission.
