Coaching, Mentoring & Collaborations
★★★★★
Katerina is a rare and pure light; someone whose presence alone begins to heal. Working with her was not just a coaching experience; it was a return to myself. With deep wisdom, loving care, and intuitive grace, she held space for every part of me – my doubts, my emotions, my dreams, and helped me transform them into clarity, confidence, and calm strength. Her guidance is gentle yet powerful, rooted in soul and lit with quiet magic. She doesn’t just offer insight – she awakens something real and lasting within you. I am forever changed by her presence, and endlessly grateful. 🙂 R.V, student
