Client Testimonial

"Monika creates a space in which it is easy to be oneself. Guided by her curiosity, empathy and full, loving attention towards you, she she has the wonderful ability of summing up your current situation and showing an overview of the main aspects. By asking exactly the needed questions, her work helps you find the point where your concern can find solution, where your challenge can find the twist needed to move forward.
During our one hour session, I felt seen, understood and supported. I left with new aspects that evolved during our session, and the feeling that change can easily and actively created in life. And Monika transmitted the atmosphere to find the courage to create this change, and made this feeling most naturally."
- Marja Aurin (GER)


My story began long before coaching. For more than a decade, I worked in luxury hotels across Jakarta, Singapore, the UK, and Chania, where my role was to create calm within chaos and support people far from home. Through that journey, I learned a simple truth: people don’t just seek comfort - they crave clarity, compassion, and to be truly seen.

It wasn’t until my children were diagnosed with ADHD that I recognized the same patterns in myself. After experiencing burnout at work and at home, my own late ADHD diagnosis brought clarity and helped me make sense of my life - the creativity, the empathy, the curiosity (and distractions), the impulsivity and also the overwhelm. In addition, when peri-menopause often becomes a turning point, it simply reduced my ability to keep compensating and masking, making long-standing ADHD traits easier to recognize.

I sought diagnosis and validation from a Psychiatrist - and, thankfully, it “was only ADHD.” From there, I continued with therapy and worked with an ADHD coach, which allowed me to grow in awareness, gratitude, and self-acceptance of my different wiring. I learned to look inward and discover a treasure of hidden strengths. I began to empower my neurodivergent brain to design a life where I truly thrive, not just survive. Where my transformation becomes a ripple effect of compassion and positive impact for my partner, children, family, friends, and community.

This journey inspired me to become a coach myself, so I could support others walking a similar path and give voice to the often misunderstood ADHD experiences. That realization gently, yet powerfully, redirected my path from hospitality into the work I do today as an ADHD & Life Coach.
