I started my coaching with Carina in the fall last year - triggered by a crisis in my partnership, I came across Carina by chance and the chemistry between the two of us was an immediate fit.

The first session is always free of charge and is designed to get to know each other. I went into this first session very openly without setting myself any major goals, although I have to admit that I was a little unsure and didn't know what to expect but Carina's open, calm and very empathetic manner made any fears and insecurities disappear immediately.

Carina is a great listener and, after the first session, draws up an individual plan on how to proceed - based on the issues that are currently bothering you and that you want to work on. 

The great thing is that Carina can also deal with acute issues spontaneously when they come up and doesn't stick strictly to her plan. This often helped me a lot personally.

There was usually also small homework assignments after the coaching sessions, which were also very helpful because you continue to deal with the topics and specifically try to work on your current (painful) topics and implement what you have learned in everyday life.

We have worked on a lot of issues and in the last six months I have learned to pay much more attention to myself and my values, to set boundaries and also to understand things better in my partnership. I have also learned to deal with difficult situations much better.

Our sessions were all online. In the first hour, Carina explains to you exactly how you should organize your workplace in order to be optimally prepared for the online coaching. Everything worked very well, although I can imagine that face-to-face coaching with Carina can be a great and highly effective experience as well. But the advantages of online coaching is that you are flexible and don't have to plan time for the journey.

Carina knows exactly what she is doing and she is super good at what she does and I can only recommend anyone to book holistic life coaching with her - whether you are currently in a crisis, just want to continue working on yourself or simply want to experience a different perspective.

How did you feel when we started the coaching?
When I started the coaching, I was in a state of mental chaos and had little clarity about how to proceed with my professional and personal life. My goal was to achieve that clarity. I was very motivated and placed a lot of hope in the coaching. I had been following Carina on Instagram for several months and was confident that she was the right coach for me and could support me with my issues.

What goals or challenges did you have at the beginning of our coaching?
Goal: Gain clarity—understand what I want, develop a vision for the future
Challenge: Mental chaos, many professional and personal issues, a perceived dilemma

What expectations did you have of me as your coach?
Honesty, directness, openness to current/urgent issues, professionalism, and individualized attention

Were your expectations met or even exceeded?
Absolutely! I was immediately impressed by how direct and honest Carina is. Especially that she reflected back to me things she noticed, like how I spoke about myself. Additionally, Carina listens very well and quickly identifies unresolved issues, which she also reflected back to me. Moreover, the entire communication with Carina is very professional and reliable. I noticed that coaching is a passion for her, not just a job, and that she is genuinely interested in my issues and in me.

How did you find the atmosphere during our coaching sessions?
Super pleasant. I could be open and honest. I felt seen & heard and Carina was 100% focused on me.

Did you have your coaching sessions online via Zoom?
I had 5 coaching sessions via Zoom and one in person.

What topics did we address, and which tools were particularly helpful for you?
We talked about self-worth, the past and a lot about values, all of which helped me understand what is important to me. At the end, we worked out a vision for the future using a meditation. Identifying my values was very helpful for me and now I feel so much clearer about what I want and where I want to go. My mood improved significantly from the beginning to the end of the coaching.

How did you perceive my role as a coach? Did you feel understood and supported?
Carina is very professional and empathetic. She takes the time to reflect on each session, which is noticeable. She reflects on each coaching session for herself and even asked in one session if her perception of the previous session was accurate. She also always explained transparently why we were doing certain methods which I really appreciated. Carina had created a plan for the entire process and shared it with me. Along the way, she continually checked in with me, self-reflected and explained why we were taking certain steps. Carina quickly and effectively identified deeper issues that might be behind a statement I made and supported me with targeted questions. That impressed me the most.

Did you ever feel triggered by any topics/questions, and how did I handle that as a coach?
My impatience, wanting to know immediately how things would proceed personally and professionally, came through once. Carina noticed this and addressed it, which I found very professional and empathetic.
We then talked about it, and she explained why we were taking these steps. I trusted Carina and knew that she was doing the right thing. In the end, everything came together perfectly and I had the vision I had wished and hoped for, and I am now really motivated to pursue it.

Have you noticed any changes in your reactions or in how you handle certain situations/people?
Definitely! Especially when we identified and worked with my value system, I realized that I want to integrate some of them even more into my daily life. My self-trust has also become much stronger again.

What would you say to others who are considering seeking out a holistic life coach?
Definitely go for it - and I can warmly recommend Carina!

What made me the right coach for you?
We have a similar background (yoga and coaching) and I like Carina's open, confident, empathetic, direct and authentic nature. 😊

With her guiding energy (and her beautiful guided meditations) I immediately felt relaxed and from that place I could easily open up. During the coaching sessions, we mostly worked with feelings or difficult situations that had come up on the days prior to the session and together with Carina I could uncover the deeper layers of conditioning that had made me respond or react in a certain way. During the sessions, I connected with my playful and feminine energy, but also to my power - especially my power to express my needs and set healthy boundaries. Thanks to my work with Carina I could look at the same situation or feeling with the eyes of understanding and compassion (for myself). When you internally change, the external also changes and this has been such a beautiful process to see unfolding.

Carina is a very soft guide and it was easy to talk to her. The atmosphere was friendly and I felt like I get the space to share which is very nice and releasing to experience. I think the helpful insight which I took with me was that we all have imperfections and that I can treat them with love and kindness towards myself and if others see my imperfections as flaws, I can ignore and leave without explanation. I don’t owe anyone and I’m proud that I created this *strong AF* attitude inside me. I learned that it’s perfectly okay to go through a range of emotions and I stopped being too self-critical. I am now in my self-accepting era. I forgive myself for everything I have done wrong- mistakes or just silly things. I’m okay and I’m enough. And thanks to Carina I was able to get to that point. She gave me some homework after the session which I immediately did and instantly felt better afterwards. She is a great space holder and guide and I recommend her with my heart 🤍

In my sessions with Carina I feel seen, heard and understood- she really gets me even though sometimes it`s hard for me to open up. Thanks to my work with Carina I gained the confidence I needed for my upcoming life-changing decisions and I found clarity from within. I highly recommend Carina if you ever need help and guidance on your journey.

Carina has a very calming and loving energy which you can feel in her circles. It is truly a safe space in which you are invited to open up in your personal speed and process and where you find the understanding and support to just be. I can recommend the experience with her if you want to connect and feel heard and seen. 🤍

I have joined my first womens circle in Munich with Carina in February. I had heard of womens circles before but i didn`t know what it was exactly. I thought we would do something like a combination of yoga and meditation but it was something else. We were 20 women, sitting in a circle and Carina introduced us to the topic and the question of the evening which we then answered- that was all. That was all but that was soooo much at the same time. I could not imagine how a seemingly simple question could affect me that much. There were so many emotions present from all women in this circle- we were all different but we all connected on the same level. We didn’t talk about our daily life and may be we will never see each other again in this constellation - but it can be easily seen that we were connected.

I really loved to be a woman in that circle. When I came back to my country I checked for womens circles but unfortunately there is not any, so I suggest everyone to experience the circle, at least once -if possible more than once-, and  Carina and that circle has really made me feel less *lonely*. I felt hugged by all those women -not physically but mentally- and that was my most important take-away. Thank you both Carina and all those beautiful souls who were there. I really appreciate it! 🙏🏽

Carinas energy is very calming and loving at the same time. I feel safe and in a judge free space with her, free to express myself. I know that every time I join the women's circle, I can tell what is on my heart and that I'm gonna be understood and heard. Carina carries this kind of wise soul that intuively knows what to say and how to hold space for her sisters. Looking forward to the next circle!

I joined my first women’s circle with Carina just before Christmas, I was nervous and apprehensive of what it was all about as I had never attended something like this before but within in 10minutes I was at ease and relaxed into the process. Carina has such a calming energy and really allows you the time in the circle to speak whether it be something lighthearted or something more serious going on in your life, you really feel like you are being heard, supported and loved! It really is a safe space to express yourself with no judgement! You can feel from Carina she has such a passion for helping other women and I would completely recommend her to anyone who is feeling lost, alone or just wanting to join a great community of ladies with all the same vision, to self heal and awaken your authentic self! 🌸💞

Dear Carina, I have to say it was my very first women circle. For me it is very hard to open and share, but you and the other women made me feel very comfortable and free that I could speak loud my emotions, my ideas and express my feelings. I can feel and see you are a very warm person with a lot of empathy, which is exactly what I need for this healing journey. I hope I can be part of the next session with you 🥰
