In Person
Retreats & Live Events
Some of the most powerful learning happens in a room. In-person retreats give your clients a chance to be fully present with you, experience how you work firsthand, and leave genuinely changed.
Online
Signature Courses
A well-designed signature course can be the culmination of your expertise. Built from the ground up around your student and the transformation you are promising. This takes time, but is worth every hour.
Online or Live
Workshops, webinars, trainings
Students stay when they feel supported. Our framework brings warmth, clarity, and intentional pacing to every live or recorded learning experience so people can actually finish what they started.
Business Systems
Educational Ecosystems
Building an education-based business is fundamentally different than any other business. We make sure that every touch point, every aspect and every element of your business is designed for you, your ideal student and for the impact you want to create.

Kim took our vision and exceeded our expectations. She tackled deadlines with grace and brought us behind the curtain to understand the process, empowering us for the future.
Jenny Schon
Custom Build Client
You are a gift, and I mean that – you're not making me feel belittled or ashamed that I'm so ambitious in my vision while also being quite unclear... your gift at pulling the thread of connection and continuity in what I express and creating order.

FAQ's

Working With Mapphouse

Dig in a little deeper to Mapphouse
General
Who do you work with?

Entrepreneurs, professionals, and small business owners translating real expertise into a course, workshop, retreat, or program. Often artists and makers, health professionals, and people in science and sustainability, BUT more than anything I work with people who are good fit to my ethos and personality because I pour myself into this work. You won't find someone who believes in you and your work (other than yourself) more than me! Reach out to see if we are a good fit.

Do I need to already know what I want to build?

No. We start wherever you are, from scratch, in the messy middle of something that isn't quite working, or refining one specific offering.

What are "Educational Ecosystems"?

The systems built around your educational offering so it actually works. Website and platform setup, funnel and marketing infrastructure, offer architecture. This includes hands-on web design and development (Squarespace, Kajabi, Ivorey/GHL or Webflow), not just strategy on paper. It's the through-line that connects every piece of the business to the offering itself. See Services and Mapphouse Overview for more details.

How does pricing work?

Discovery calls are free, VIP Intensives are $850 and One:One Custom Work is custom-quoted based on project scope, set after your call.

How long does a project take?

Depends on scope; Offering Blueprint Instensives are single-session engagements; Custom Work timelines are set together at the start, based on what you're building.

Can I use this for a real consulting firm?

Yes, that’s the whole point. This structure is built for professional services.

Can I customize the design?

Yes. Every section, layout, and color token is built with flexibility in mind. Swap, remove, or restyle as needed.

What’s the best way to start customizing?

Pick a homepage, rewrite each section in your own words — or keep the structure and simply swap in your branding.

Does this include a Figma file?

Yes — you’ll get access to a clean, variables-based Figma system once you purchase.

Is this template optimized for CMS?

Absolutely. Insights, case studies, services, and even testimonials are CMS-ready.

Is Haldenmiller a real consulting firm?

No — this is a fictional brand created to showcase the template. But everything you see is fully editable and modular.
