About me

I’m originally from Russia, and over the years I’ve lived in five countries before choosing Colombia as my current home. Moving across cultures has shaped not only my career but also how I see identity, belonging, and change. I work in English, Spanish, and Russian, and have supported clients from over 35 countries, bringing over 1,500 hours of coaching experience into conversations shaped by diverse contexts, questions, and transitions.

Much of my work is with people who find themselves in in-between spaces. This might be relocating, rethinking a career, navigating relationships, or simply sensing that something needs to shift. It often involves deeper identity shifts and questions of who you are in a new context. Having gone through these experiences myself, I understand how disorienting and, at the same time, full of possibility these moments can be.

Alongside my coaching, mentoring, and consulting work, I spent 15 years in Talent, HR, and Organizational Development within global organizations and cross-cultural teams. That experience continues to shape how I understand the intersection of life and work, especially in moments of growth, pressure, and uncertainty.

Approach

Treatment Approaches

CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.

MindfulnessMindfulness is the process of maintaining a purposeful moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surrounding environment.

Somatic coachingRecommended for those who want to use body awareness and movement to release emotional tension and promote personal growth.

Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

My approach is reflective, direct, and grounded in real-life context. I create a space where you can slow down, think clearly, and explore what’s actually going on beneath the surface. We work with both what you’re thinking and what you’re feeling, so you can better understand your patterns, reactions, and decisions.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. My style is practical, direct, and no-nonsense. I will ask honest questions, challenge you when needed, and support you in turning insights into actions that actually make a difference.

The goal is not just to talk things through, but to help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, less internal noise, and a stronger sense of direction.
