“I would recommend Marlena as a coach, an NLP practitioner, a supportive ear and everything in between. I started off with 6 sessions, looking for some clear, concise professional advice to get life and my career back on track. With Marlena’s inquisitive, non-judgmental, pragmatic and clearly very well thought through sessions she was able to establish very quickly the right development plan for me. Marlena’s style is not one size fits all and she was incredible at taking the time to look to the core and root of the issue or set back before deciding the best way forward. The key practises that Marlena has taught me has had a profound effect on how I now approach life both professionally and personally and I couldn’t recommend more highly. Marlena has a unique balance of calmness yet with a genuine determination to help people, and the sessions feel very authentic to you as an individual. I extended the initial 6 sessions and now have a 3 month programme under my belt and I couldn’t thank her more. For development needs in every aspect of life, I whole heartedly recommend.”
