Own who you truly are, to do things differently.
Own who you truly are, to do things differently.
I am owning my path and who I am. I’ve consistently left behind the familiar to grow and find my natural true self. Today, I unapologetically own it and live my life with joy, resilience, and ease
—and you can too.
My true self
My story is about owning who you are and holding on through all the twists and turns. Born in conservative Russia as the daughter of an opera singer and costume artist, my parents divorced when I was 7. We moved to Germany, where I didn’t know the language or culture and lived in a refugee home at first. I got my first job at 15, funded myself through university, and started ticking off the expected boxes: husband, family, home, job.
Deep down, I knew it wasn’t truly me. So I stepped out of the familiar and began exploring who I am. The world became my home. I experienced different cultures, lived in the US, Europe, and Asia, explored spiritual teachings in India, and climbed Everest (well almost). All while doing years of therapy, deep work, and coming out as queer. None of it easy or comfortable, but worth it.
I finally had the career I’ve always wanted. I became a senior leader of an international team in a large global company, where I realized my passion for supporting others’ personal growth and progress, and I loved it!
But as a queer Millennial woman climbing the corporate ladder, I knew that to truly be my full self, I needed to embrace the unknown once again and to follow my inner instinct and calling: I wanted to create something of my own.

REWILDING your future
My approach to working with you
In the wild, REWILDING means restoring the natural state. In my concept of leading and living, it is the process of rediscovering your instincts, values and who you are. Things that have been lost due to societal norms.
REWILDING is about embracing the complexity and diversity of today’s world, developing an adaptive mindset, and trusting your intuition so that you can navigate life’s chaos with ease, clarity, and resilience.
I view every human as unique, and as a whole, so my approach is exactly that—bespoke, integrated and tailored to your individual needs.
I draw from different disciplines and teachings. We do work focusing on emotional awareness, on the body, and on thought patterns and habits. I combine executive coaching based on the ICF gold standard with a systemic lens from my own years of corporate leadership experience and a splash of consciousness teachings.
Why you can trust me
Stepping into your growth path is a very personal journey. It starts with finding the right partner for you. It’s not an easy choice to make, for sure.
I know that because I had to choose too: I decided to follow the stringent academic education of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and become an accredited executive coach. The ICF is a globally recognized organization, upholding the gold standard for professional coaches.
When you work with me you can be confident:
- You will work with a coach who respects your unique personality, culture, identity, experiences, and context.
- I promise a safe and supportive space to tap into your resourcefulness and creativity.
- Confidentiality is key. Whatever you share is safe with me as I follow a strict Code of Ethics.
- I know and respect the distinction between coaching, psychotherapy, consulting and other disciplines.
- I make time for my own ongoing development through education, psychotherapy, supervision, mentoring, meditation and more.
- I will always be completely truthful with you, from the things I say on this website to our day-to-day communication.
