Set your goals so that they are motivating. Clarify your vision. Create systems, routines and habits that support you. Stay in the right mindset for growth and success. Hi. My name is Snezana and I am a certified ICF coach for both team and individual coaching. HOW CAN I HELP? You will learn what's holding you back from achieving your goals, how to get past it and move forward with a strong growth mindset all the while making progress towards your desired future. As your coach, I will ask A LOT of questions and LISTEN very closely to what you have to say. Then, TOGETHER we'll be able to help you get on the path that is the most suitable for your own growth so that you can grow and scale your business as well. As we work together, my first goal is to get to the root causes of whatever is holding you back from reaching the next milestone in your professional development. Once we define the root causes, we focus on how to deal with them and eventually eliminate them. My second goal is to help you create systems, routines and habits that support your growth and success. This means that while we explore the road blocks, we stay action-driven and focus on output and results. Your job is to comit to actions that will move you forward and my job is to hold you accountable and track progress with you. My process is simple, yet effective and efficient. It is completely focused on you, your needs and expectations. With me, you get a dedicated time to yourself to explore, experiment and be creative. Here's how you may feel once the results start kicking in: "She helped me to find out more about myself and during our process we came to the conclusion that what I was doing at the moment (running an facebook ad agency) didn’t align with my values and needed a switch. Thanks to her I have now realised that what I actually want to do is learn coding to start a SaaS company later down the line. I can say with full confidence that having worked with her has been absolutely life changing." "Snezana is a great person but she is an even better coach. She is very good at cutting through noise and helping you focus on the things that matter. Snezana is also an experienced and knowledgeable business person which makes her a great sounding board and advisor when you are trying to work through new ideas/problems. Most importantly she is not afraid to challenge you when she thinks you are wrong. She’s friendly but she can be tough when she needs to be. She has made a huge impact on my attitude and approach to planning over the last few months and I highly recommend her services." "Snezana is a kind of coach who's all in - you can count on her to be a friend who will say it like it is, but in the nicest possible way. The most valuable thing I learned from Snezana is how to stay grounded and do better at the most stressful moments." Like what you read? Then, let's schedule a chat. I am looking forward to working with you. Sincerely, Snezana

Hi, I’m Anna an Australian Psychotherapist and Sensitivity Coach. I support individuals who are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is both gentle and strategic, grounded in the belief that deep healing happens when we feel safe, understood, and empowered to change from within. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from many different walks of life, and my background in fulltime travel, volunteering, and teaching has given me a deep appreciation for human complexity, resilience, and the emotional layers we all carry. These experiences, along with my therapeutic training, continue to shape how I hold space for others with compassion, flexibility, and curiosity. I specialize in subconscious reprogramming, which means I work with the deeper layers of the mind the ones that store our core beliefs, habits, emotional patterns, and early experiences. When these go unexamined, they can quietly impact how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. Together, we gently explore and retrain these inner patterns so you can create lasting shifts in how you feel and function. I blend a range of methods, including: • Hypnotherapy • Cognitive Behavioral Strategies • NLP • Internal Family Systems (IFS) • Mindfulness • Kinesiology (Currently Studying) This work is designed to help you: ~ Identify and release limiting beliefs ~ Heal emotional wounds and nervous system patterns ~ Build emotional resilience and self-trust ~ Create grounded, sustainable habits that align with who you truly are Beyond my clinical practice, I operate as a professional Mental Health Writer, Book Editor, and Ghostwriter. As a CPD-certified editor and proofreader, I have copyedited and proofread entire books, authored articles, and ghostwritten high-impact content in the self-help, motivational, and trauma recovery spaces. I specialize in manuscript editing, line editing, and developmental proofreading for psychological literature, utilizing my clinical background to translate complex therapeutic insights into accessible, engaging, and deeply resonant language. Please note: While my clinical and coaching sessions are billed at a fixed hourly rate, my writing, ghostwriting, and editing project rates are flexible and tailored entirely to the scope, word count, and depth of your project. Having personally worked through chronic anxiety, depression, and sensitivity, I know how difficult it can be when your inner world doesn’t reflect the life you want to create. That’s why I’m committed to creating a space that’s safe, clear, and empowering not clinical or overwhelming. If you're ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and reshape the beliefs that are keeping you stuck, I’d love to support you on that journey. Let’s connect your clarity and calm are closer than you think.

Most professionals I work with aren't struggling because they lack systems — they have the tools, the calendar, the workflows. What's slowing them down lives a layer deeper. I work in both places at once. I'm a trilingual Executive Assistant and certified NLP Coach. I handle the operations that keep your business running, and I bring the kind of support most assistants simply aren't equipped to offer: I can see when a mindset pattern is quietly creating the same operational problem on repeat — and help you break it. A number of my clients have trusted me in both roles simultaneously. That combination changes what's possible. 🗂️ Executive & Administrative Support Calendar & inbox management (Google Workspace, Outlook) Stakeholder communication & meeting coordination Project tracking & task organization (Notion, ClickUp, Asana) SOP creation, documentation & workflow optimization Travel arrangements & client communication 🧠 NLP Coaching & Accountability 1:1 coaching grounded in Neuro-Linguistic Programming Breaking behavioral patterns that affect performance Accountability structures that actually hold Mindset work integrated with your day-to-day operations Goal clarity, decision frameworks & follow-through support ⚙️ Operations & Process Design Building systems that don't fall apart under pressure CRM setup & maintenance Automations & workflow design Cross-functional coordination & team communication Tools I work with Google Workspace • Microsoft Office • Notion • ClickUp • Asana • Slack • Zoom • VoiP • AI productivity tools. Working remote since 1998. Why clients keep working with me I work ahead, not behind. I communicate clearly and take full ownership — you won't need to follow up with me. I also speak three languages (Spanish, English & German), which has been an asset for clients operating across cultures and markets. What makes this engagement different from hiring a standard EA is the depth of understanding I build about how you actually work — not just your calendar, but what drives you and what holds you back. If you've ever felt like the real problem isn't on your to-do list, let's talk.
