The reason I chose the firebird as a symbol of my practice is linked to the archetype of this mysterious bird. In Slavic tradition it’s a miraculous bird whose plumage shines with fiery colors. Only few beholders had the chance to witness this bird’s concealed whereabouts. With its lights it brings hope and renewal, while through its fire, knowledge and rebirth. I believe that coaching is a powerful source of light and energy. The Firebird is also a “gold getter”, the first step to “go getter” which turns gold into jewellery. Furthermore, it has a strong connection to “the bird’s eye view” and mirroring-the key tools of a coach. Firebird spirit is also related to “reframing” and digging for metaphors, as well as to “self-management”- which I consider as important pre-requisites in my work.
I’m a Co-Active Coach and Interpersonal Mediator. I invite you to explore more about coaching. The coaching process will be purposeful, challenging, and focused on visible results. Me as a coach will support you in what you want to achieve and will champion you in your progress towards your goals.
Then own your story. Coaching for me is a form of alliance between the client and the coach in order to consciously walk through the changes between the current and the desired situation. It is about creating a trustworthy and safe space for exploring and testing of new approaches to life or work.The client & the coach are both engaged to partner on the journey and better address the objectives.

The ability to travel to the back of my mind, while having a reliable partner next to me, is so precious. The whole process was built efficiently, delicately, respectful of my feelings, well-being, fears and beliefs.
In everyday life, I combine several roles: mother, wife, housewife, daughter, etc. Very rarely is it possible to be alone with myself and think: who am I, what do I need?
Yanina is capable of great listening and great empathy. She knows how to pick up and question what is said (or not said) through words, gestures, and emotional signs.
The coaching journey showed me that I don’t have to run for a new job, because I realized being at the right place as a dance teacher.
The different questions that Yanina asked me about myself, my values, my strengths, my goals and the different exercises allowed me to open a new page, to have new keys.
It has been a 6-month journey, time has flown and at the same time has brought the richness of an entire life with it.
Through our coaching sessions, I realized that I am important and my life is important too, even if I did not live up to someone's expectations!
