The Impact of Coaching
Coaching provides a sanctuary where you will be heard, supported, and gently challenged. Your sessions and the work in-between sessions including self-reflection, experimentation, and action-taking, serve as a springboard toward positive change and personal illumination. Coaching provides a safety net while you try on new thoughts, ways-of-being, and actions. The unique partnership between client and coach yields optionality and transformation.
The greatest impact of coaching is the client’s evolution from stuck to flourishing, and from limited to limitless through the alchemy of this structured and collaborative process.
Alchemy: a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation or combination.

I've had the privilege of working with Marina as my executive coach; my entreprenurial journey began under her guidance. Marina's expertise not only helped me discover my unique voice for marketing and brand building but also delved into the profound, sometimes hard to articulate why's and how's of doing your own thing. Running a vintage clothing business with a focus on fundraising for disability justice was a dream that wouldn't have taken shape without Marina's warmth, good humor, and extensive experince in supporting people during transitional career moments. What I initially imagined as a daunting solo journey turned collaborative and uplifting, thanks to her.

I have worked with Marina as a career coach with great results. My goal was to improve upon specific problem areas in my work life such as procrastination and lack of structure. Marina’s approach was easy, non-confrontational and effective. She is creative, consultative, collaborative and works with you to implement tangible actions that are easily implementable and quantifiable. She is a great listener and helps you to arrive at a solution, rather than tell you what you should be doing. I highly recommend Marina’s services as a career and professional coach.
