    Ruth, (36) Scotland

  • I had the pleasure of being coached by Michalina. Over three sessions, she helped me identify the issues that were making me feel uncomfortable, but that I found difficult to articulate. The sessions were solution-focused and allowed me to discover new perspectives on the problems I was facing. Highly recommended!
