*Now, the pushy “one-size-fits-all” and “ignore your boundaries and just do it” type of coaching is pretty much the exact opposite of what I do. BUT, I’ll definitely accept being compared to a big sister who has 100% trust in what you’re capable of and will challenge you to fulfill your potential.
Because I see you
I know that you started your business with a lot of passion, hope, and this great vision of a fulfilling future.
It’s probably one of the most exciting & wildest adventures you can be on! It’s inspiring, helping your customers & clients succeed, challenging yourself to give your best, and learning & growing every step of the way.
But it will also challenge your self-trust, you have to learn so many things, set your own rules & boundaries, own your worth, withstand resistance, and recognize any obstacles that will limit your growth.
That’s a lot. All of that can leave you feeling torn and like a leaf in the wind, being flown into every possible direction and having no control or orientation whatsoever.
I get it.
Hi, I’m Monika!
CERTIFIED MENTAL & SYSTEMIC COACH, FORMER BUSINESS EXECUTIVE
I’m a dreamer and visionary myself, with a “let’s make it happen” attitude and a deep love for people.
Born into a family of visionary innovators & entrepreneurs, I got to live the entrepreneurial dream ever since I was a child.
Nearly every Sunday morning, you’d find us sitting around the table, having breakfast while talking about all the inspiring ideas and business plans we had come up with over the week. It was an inspiring and enriching environment, but I could also see – it takes much more than just creativity and passion to take those ideas and turn them into successful realities!
It takes a lot of dedication, grit, constant learning, and resilience to grow, both personally and professionally.
In this environment, I found the major question that is still driving me in everything I do: “Why do some people fail while others thrive and turn a mere idea into actual reality?”. This is how my passion for both innovation and psychology was born.
And the rest is history.
My whole career path prepared me for what I do today.
I first studied International Business and Executive Management and worked for companies of all sizes to get to the bottom of the business world. Seeing how anyone with an expertise and big idea still needed to use those systems to see it come to life and never wanting to be dependent on other people, I wanted to understand the rules of the game.
After 10 years in that world and constantly being the “inofficial sparring partner and coach” for my bosses and colleagues, I decided to follow my original passion and changed course. Studying psychological coaching & systemic counseling, I began working with high achievers and driven leaders in 2016 and finally started my own coaching business in 2020.
Now, I partner with purpose-driven entrepreneurs like you and help them go from confused, scared & overwhelmed to being clear, calm, confident & happy as they go after their goals with intentional action.

Honestly, it’s not about me. But if you insist, here are some fun facts about me.
Moving To Barcelona
Living Abroad
When I was only 18, I got a job and moved to Barcelona, Spain -barely speaking the language and without knowing anyone there. It was an incredible adventure and it taught me so much about myself, my resourcefulness, and the possibilities that are out there - in fact, it’s been well over 10 years, but I still use this experience as a source of inspiration & strength!
Avid Dancer
Bachata Teacher
I’m an avid dancer. No matter whether house music, trance, latin, or ballroom dancing - I can (and will!) spend hours on the dance floor.
Shortly before Covid, I was even offered a job as a Bachata teacher! If it hadn’t been for a worldwide pandemic, we might just have met on the Salsa dancing floor and exchanged a few moves.
Word & Language Lover
Mastering 9 languages
As a kid, I set myself the goal to be fluent in 9 different languages. (Don’t ask me why it had to be 9, I can‘t even remember.)
Having grown up multi-lingual, I‘d always loved words and discovering their meaning. So this seemed like a fun goal! For now, I’m up to 5 languages (more or less fluently), and I’ve got a whole list of others that fascinate me.
Proud Dog & Cat Mom
Animal Lover
Dog or cat-mom? In fact, both and with all my heart!
I have one dog and two cats, and they mean the world to me. My partner and I both had our fluffy darlings when we met, so we knew from the start - we’d have to find a way to make them fall in love with each other too. Was it easy? No. It took months of training and lots of crying. But, we finally succeeded and now they are like sister & brothers. Every day, they make me smile with their sweet, goofy personalities.
Book Worm
Obsessed With Learning New Things
My biggest guilty pleasure? It‘s got to be books and any educational resource I can get my hands on. Anything that will open the door to a new world and let me expand my horizon. I spent a fortune on courses and literature - and I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Maybe it‘s my immigrant background, maybe it’s growing up with extremely literate parents - whatever the reason, there’s nothing like learning and discovering something new.
Research Nerd
Crazy about scientific research
I’m a real nerd when it comes to research and I get embarrassingly excited by new publications & scientific studies. At university, I even enjoyed writing my scientific thesis so much that my mother keeps joking that I would have been the perfect scholar if I had been just a little less ambitious.
Founding my decisions and views on facts as much as I can is hugely important to me - and has proven invaluable in my coaching approach too!
