Hey! I’m Jana, certified coach.
I support women who value freedom,
follow their own (non linear) paths and are ready to break free
from roles and expectations - so they can really be themselves.

It's your time, energy & life.​

boundaries, work life balance, authenticity,

Seriously, let me encourage you to start thinking for yourself. To see who you really are. Do it, create your own change, your own meaning.

You know, my clients are courageous, curious, fun, and caring women. They want to feel alive, connected, at ease - but often, they feel like they're soaked up by systems. Or they feel stuck in roles, expectations or responsibilities that aren't theirs to carry or that they don't feel aligned with...

​

The women I work with are ready to explore how to let go of guilt and take back control: oh yes, yes, give yourself that permission to want what you really want: do things your own way, speak your mind, make demands, trust your intuition and your gut. It’s about being OK with being both strong and vulnerable - the one who supports others and the one who asks for a shoulder to lean on. 

​

It’s about feeling comfortable being really yourself instead of being driven by a constant pressure to perform or produce. If you’re curious about investing time to explore what is - and isn’t - yours, let’s start by starting. Let's take that first step together :)

How I support YOU

You know, I might never really feel what you feel - no one can. But I do know what it's like to feel shame of not constantly reproducing that same version of myself, the fear of not being enough, losing myself in job titles and feeling only as good as the projects I managed. Been there - and learned to break through those walls and give birth to a new version of myself. And because I can relate to those feelings, I can sit with you in yours, hold them, name them, and make space for them.

​

I work with my intuition and my way of being me. And many of my clients, who are also intuitive but often stuck in their heads, experience what it’s like to move out of thinking and into feeling during our sessions.

​

CLEARING YOUR MIND: clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed by chaotic and way too many thoughts. I help untangle those thoughts and questions. All the “what if” and “but then” scenarios. I help you prioritize, ask if things are realistic, and dig deeper: Does this really fit? What are you good at? And what else? And what else? And what else? And suddenly, you’re saying all these amazing things about yourself - things you’ve forgotten or never dared to say out loud. I help you hear yourself by reframing your words with more clarity.

​

TOWARDS AUTHENTICITY: Sometimes clients cry, not really knowing why. It's because they feel relief, clarity, and motivation. It’s not just about seeing things clearly; it’s about feeling what’s really there. I mirror and reflect back to you - honestly, directly, sometimes in a playful kind of way. But always with support, encouragement and warmth. I show you where you might contradict yourself, hold yourself back, or avoid the truth - not to criticize, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and get moving.

​

Together, we create a space where you can see yourself. Without judgment, without pressure. And that’s where transformation begins: when you finally meet yourself with honesty, self compassion and courage...and maybe even a little bit of humour :)

​

Important Note: Coaching is a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth, but it isn’t a substitute for therapy. My work doesn’t replace therapeutic support and does not address psychological topics, mental disorders, or conditions.

Coaching Topics & What We’ll Tackle Together

  • ​​​​​​​​​​​You don’t have to be “the strong one” all the time or give 100% to everything. Together, we’ll figure out how to let go of the projects and pressures that no longer serve you.

  • You’ve already been through so much. Let’s take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come and give yourself credit for the growth you might not even realize.

  • How often do you treat yourself like a close friend? Let’s explore how to be kinder and more understanding with yourself — something many of us never learned.

  • No one can do it all. Let’s work on creating honest, achievable goals for yourself that don’t leave you feeling guilty or overwhelmed.

  • It can be scary to show the "messy" parts of ourselves. But there is so much strength in being authentic. Together, we’ll discover what it really means to embrace who you are.

  • What drives you? Maybe you’ve forgotten or lost your motivation. Let’s reconnect with what truly sets you on fire and makes you say, "Yes, that’s my mission."

  • Have someone who really understands you - someone on your side but with enough distance to offer honest, supportive feedback. Talk about what the others don't get. 

  • Brainstorm new ideas or projects to bring your creative vision to life and move forward with confidence.

  • In times of change or uncertainty, it’s easy to get caught in self-doubt or shame. Instead of isolating or burning out, we’ll work together to sit with tough emotions, hold them with compassion, and build true inner resilience. I’ll support you to face challenges without losing yourself to endless worries or second-guessing.

Thank you very, very much for your professional coaching support. I was really moved by the way you work with people. You were able to clearly work out my challenges from my vague explanations and not let me lose sight of them during the sessions. I really appreciated your sense of humour which did not mean that you lost a certain seriousness when working on the topics. The main thing I take away from working with you is to appreciate what I have already achieved. I realise that it's okay to sometimes simply relax and not have to give 120% all the time.  Every time I walk past my mirror, I have to smile because I can't help but think of our shared appreciation phrase ;)

Why Choose Me as Your Coach? About Me:

"Doing your own thinking is the first step in making a difference."

I know what it’s like to adapt, blend in, and just play by those rules - done that. Learned out of it.

Born in Kazakhstan, growing up in Germany, with a one year stop over in US, and now living in Paris, I had to learn early how to fit in...and keep things under control. For over 11 years, I planned, organized events, and managed every detail, constantly preparing for the unexpected. I was doing, giving, working my ass off. For others – not for myself. The turning point came when I admitted that I wasn't thinking for myself. And that I wasn't listening to my body - and heart. That’s when I began my journey of self-discovery and realized my true mission:​​

 

Encouraging women in making a difference. That's my purpose.​​

I am Jana, Certified Executive Coach with a triple accredited certificate (International Coaching Federation, Association for Coaching and European Mentoring & Coaching Council) from         

Henley Business School. My 11 years of international business experience and my personal journey give me a unique perspective on coaching. What sets my style apart is...simply me (haha, so humble, right). I don’t believe in sticking to a "professional image" and I don't care about etiquette: I laugh, I swear and I create safe spaces with a strong presence and full attention. I don't just listen when I listen. I hear what you say, what you don't say and what your body says when you say what you say...Seeing the big picture and untangling complex patterns and processes is my thing. Thanks to my curiosity and creativity I come up with (unexpected) parallels between different worlds and experiences. I value honest, grounded, fun, and sincere conversations above all else.

​

My Approach to Coaching:​​

  • Personal discovery is my kind of philosophy: I try to live by the values of truth, fun, love, curiosity, and learning.  I believe in staying true to oneself while creating something meaningful in the world.​

  • Continuous Growth: Coaching, exploring, and self-development (like therapy, intuitive dancing, abstract painting, singing lessons) have been part of my journey, shaping the way I work and connect with clients.​

  • Holistic Well-being: Beyond coaching, I enjoy philosophy, reading, writing, discovering new things in Paris, running, Pilates, walking, dancing, painting, and spending time with my loved ones. This helps me stay grounded and connect deeply with my clients.​

​

Why This Matters for You:​​ My own journey of self-discovery, with so many ups and downs, has shown me what it’s like to feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by endless thoughts, or under immense pressure, unsure of what actually matters. I can relate. No judgment, no pretending - just you and me, figuring out what really matters to you. What really drives me is creating and holding space for the challenging topics and feelings that most people shy away from. The ones no one wants to talk about. I can hold those kinds of spaces with care, honesty, and strength. Maybe also with a joke, depends. If you’re looking for a coach who offers real, honest support - someone who combines her experience with authenticity, that kind of expertise, I’m here.
