Nika Airikainen

Certified Business Coach (ACC ICF)
For B2C Entrepreneurs
About me

If your business is stressing you out more than it’s paying off, and you’re serious about changing that, let’s talk.

Hi, I’m Nika Airikainen. My Finnish last name tends to trip people up, so I go by just Nika Air.

I’m a certified coach who helps entrepreneurs understand how their personality and mindset shape their business results.

Through coaching sessions I guide my clients to see the patterns behind their decisions, uncover what’s holding them back, and develop the mindset needed for real growth.

If your business is ready to reach new professional and financial heights and you’re willing to grow along with it - I’m here to help you make that happen.

Outside of my work, I’m a mother of three and a four-time immigrant. These experiences have taught me resilience and adaptability. I speak three languages (and I’m learning a fourth!) and have been self-employed since 2010. So I deeply understand the challenges and rewards of building something on your own terms.

I started my coaching journey in 2023 and I have already completed over 350 high-impact coaching sessions with my clients.

Key concepts from the world of coaching
Coach, Coaching, Coaching Session, ICF — what does all this mean?
Coaching (according to international standards) is a method of working with a client aimed at expanding their thinking beyond the usual limits, unlocking their potential and abilities, and developing creativity and new skills.


ICF — the International Coaching Federation — is the leading global organization dedicated to upholding the integrity, professionalism, and quality of coaching worldwide.

ACC (Associate Certified Coach) is an ICF credential that recognizes a coach who has completed accredited training, passed all required assessments, and accumulated between 100 and 500 hours of hands-on client experience.

An ACC ICF Coach is a certified professional who practices according to ICF standards and ethics. They follow the ICF Code of Ethics, which ensures clients receive a high-quality, confidential, and safe coaching experience.

coaching session is a one-on-one conversation between a coach and a client, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes. During the session, the coach asks thought-provoking questions that expand the client’s perspective, uncover new possibilities, and help them recognize both their strengths and blind spots.

The coach doesn’t give advice, share personal opinions or judge. Instead, they create a space where the client can think freely, make their own choices, and take full responsibility for their decisions and growth.

  • Coaching sessions one at a time
    Come to one or several sessions if you want to gain clarity on a specific situation “here and now,” for example:
    • I want to make a decision
    • I want to find an idea
    • I want to identify my obstacle
    • I want to clarify, define my goal, etc.
  • 5–10 Session Package
    You might need around 10 sessions to change a situation that’s holding your business back, such as:
    • task paralysis
    • imposter syndrome
    • low productivity
    • work/life balance
    • scare of business scaling, etc.
  • Continuous coaching
    Consider ongoing coaching (once a week) if you’ve recently started your business and face multiple challenges both in actions (setting goals, strategy, sales, generating ideas, finding clients) and in mindset (anxiety, feeling rushed, shame, guilt, resistance).
Board Game Styled Coaching Session

A transformational game (T-game) is a tool used by coaches or psychologists that helps make the process of self-discovery deeper while also more engaging and enjoyable.
  • Personal Brand
    The game is well-suited for aspiring entrepreneurs. It helps you gather all the essential information needed to grow your business. During the game, you’ll be able to define your: business niche, product line, target audience, brand strengths, and pricing strategy.
  • Imposter Syndrome
    If you find it difficult to assess your professional level or determine the true value of your services, or if you often compare yourself to colleagues in your field to your own disadvantage, the “Imposter Syndrome” game is for you. The game helps you recognize and claim your achievements, increase the value of your services, boost self-confidence, and plan the next steps for growing your business.
  • Low Productivity
    The game will be useful if:
    • You feel your tasks could be handled better, faster, or more efficiently
    • Your actions aren’t producing the results you want
    • Everything seems fine, but you don’t have the energy to enjoy your wins.
  • I’m a blogger
    The game is perfect if you’ve been wanting to start a blog or already have one but aren’t posting regularly. It’s also ideal if you’re unsure why you’re blogging or want to monetize it and drive sales but haven’t figured out how yet.
    In the game, you’ll get clear on what your blog should really be to meet your goals, uncover why you’ve been holding yourself back, and learn how to ignite inspiration and tap into hidden resources.
