A year ago, I was reincorporating into the professional world after a lengthy maternity leave. I wanted to reconvert and change my profession. Feeling blocked and torn apart between my sense of responsibility for providing financial support to my family and following my passion, I searched for professional help. That is how I came across Jelena.

Working with her was so beneficial to me. We had about ten sessions in which we went through all the mechanisms I have built around the value of my work, money, self-worth, and what kind of values were important to me on a job. Jelena made me rethink many of my beliefs with her cleverly chosen and very concrete questions that guided me toward clarity in my thinking process. Week after week, I could feel how I was getting free and playful again, and I knew which path to take.

I found it very helpful that she made a visual map of every session we had, and she sent it to me. I used to use it as a thinking material until our next session.
Jelena is also very empathic and human. She interacts with you full of interest and guides you in a friendly way but decidedly and competently.

I would recommend Jelena as a coach since she combines analytical mind, competence, friendliness, and empathy. She definitely helped me move further in my life, and I am very much thankful to her.

I would highly recommend Jelena to anyone who needs clarity and support to make changes in their life. Each session has brought me a new perl and I had a concrete step to action out. I also really enjoyed how she mixed a clear guiding structure with more intuitive methods when needed. She is great at listening and rephrasing and with the notes that I received after each session I could clearly see and felt more confident of my development . Thank you very much Jelena!

I met Jelena, last year through a mutual friend.

I was looking for some guidance on how to take some different steps in my life, some advice on how to break through my usual routines, see things from a different perspective, and my friend recommended I speak to Jelena who was doing coaching training.

I was completely unfamiliar with the whole concept of coaching, what it involved, and I was rather surprised with it in the end.

Jelena turned out to be a very gentle but also firm guide throughout our sessions. She is a brilliant listener, was able to make total sense of my sometimes completely scrambled thoughts and answers, she asked me pretty difficult questions, guided me quite firmly to actually look at things honestly, which I don’t think I have quite done before.

At the end of every session, she made a lovely diagram of my aims, feelings, and steps, which I should take in order to move forward.

She has a real gift to make sense of things, most importantly to listen, I felt her confidence and gentle prodding and questioning helped me gain my own confidence back.

It turned out quite lucky that I met her when I really needed it!

Jelena is a fabulous coach; she is very professional and brings many past talents to her coaching business.  What I really enjoy about being coached by Jelena is that she brings a solid structure into her coaching sessions. Jelena has been very empathic and understanding when supporting me through my various challenges. She knows intuitively how to direct a coaching session for the coachee to receive the maximum benefit. Jelena starts each coaching session with a calm understanding and empathic style of deep listening. She uses various meditation and breathing techniques to get in sync with her clients.  Her use of powerful questions gets to the root of the challenge and helps the client move to important understandings and therefore improvements they are seeking. She always has great suggestions for follow-up “homework” to keep the client’s momentum going. I would recommend Jelena’s style of coaching to any individual or group looking to grow in a positive direction.

Jelena brings presence and understanding to the coaching sessions. She has a knack for guiding the dialogue in such a way that goals set at the beginning of the calls are achieved by the end. It was always a pleasant surprise and magical in some way. I could tell something had shifted by the end of each conversation.
