I’m a proactive and goal-driven individual with a burning desire to unlock the hidden potential in everyone. I bring to the table not just a fervent passion for the intricate world of neuroscience, but also a strategic mind that can navigate challenges with a bird’s-eye view. My approach is steeped in empathy, ensuring that I connect with individuals on a deeper level to facilitate their growth.

At my core, I hold dear the values of well-being, relentless personal growth, the liberating power of freedom, the fire of passion, and the unwavering commitment to honesty.

With fluency in English, I’m currently on the lookout for my next adventure as an international mental performance coach, eager to spread my expertise across borders.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I find solace in the world of books, my heart dances to the rhythm of Latino music, and I thrive in the warm embrace of sunny weather. I cherish the company of open-minded souls, as I am naturally inquisitive and believe that learning and growing together is a remarkable blessing.

Testimonial

Coaching with Kristina was the best thing that could have happened to me in the new year. At the beginning of the cooperation, we decided on the areas that we would focus on in depth, and that's what happened. We chose one sub-task in each lesson and by the end of the lesson we they cracked what I need to do next to move forward in the long term. One of the measurable results I see is an increase in the prices for my services and acceptance by my clients. We are currently transitioning to transformational coaching and I am already very much looking forward to it! I recommend Kristina also for her ability to listen, read between the lines and aptly summarize the key problems that need to be solved."

Testimonial

I have been working with Kristina for several months now, and I have to admit that these months have been a turning point in my life so far. Not only did I learn a greater degree of self-love thanks to the coaching, but I also went through an extraordinary transformation in several areas of my life. It was not an easy period at all, but thanks to Kristina's professional and at the same time empathetic approach, I managed everything and stepped into the new year as a different person. I would recommend coaching to everyone without distinction.

Kristina, I am very glad to have you as my coach. I have a great time working with you and you ask me very good questions that move me forward and make me think about things that I would not have thought of before. I believe that with your help I will reach all my goals 100% and in a short time. It was a very good decision to go into cooperation with you.

Testimonial

At the beginning I was quite skeptical about the coaching, but after a few sessions I started to change my view. Kristina, with her sensitive approach and a large amount of empathy with which she conducts sessions, can make me think differently about things and thereby gradually move towards the set goals. Thank you for the opportunity to see (my) world from a different angle and feel better in it. Thanks to this, I was successful to get pregnant.
