“I consider myself a very organized creative and still, I found myself feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I had a series of creative coaching sessions with Katerina—and my creative world broke open. In addition to helping me overcome mental blockers, Katerina has such a strong consulting and marketing background that helped jump start my projects. She provides a great balance of mental, spiritual, and practical support.”

“Working with Katerina felt like an absolute gift from the universe. After just two sessions of working together, I felt inspired and excited to pursue my creative dreams. They did such a fantastic job of fostering a mindful and comforting session which helped me open up and dig deep into what might be holding me back creatively. I would work with Katerina again in a heartbeat!”

“I chose Katerina as my creative coach because we are both artists, activists and entrepreneurs. I needed help with marketing strategies and Katerina ran a marketing firm for 5 years! I thought our sessions were going to be mostly about strategies but they were so much more. Katerina began each session with a meditation to help ground my energies and get me focused on what I really wanted. Turns out marketing wasn’t the only thing I needed help with, and our sessions helped me create the framework for what I want my business to look like. My life has changed for the better and I don’t feel alone in my challenges anymore.”
