Coaching with me is a space for you to show up fully as you are. I offer a space where you can get away from the ever-present societal pressure of looking like you got everything together and that your hair is always perfect, and where you get to be a messy, real human being. You're not coming to me to impress me. You've got Facebook and friends for that. No, you're coming up for "psychological air." Steven Covey, the author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, called empathy "psychological air," and he said that after physical survival, the next most important and demanding human need is what he called "psychological survival," or the experience of being validated, acknowledged, understood, and even appreciated, as we are. And I agree. I bring a sweet blend of my intelligent, linear engineer mind and my curious, empathic heart to the table - a balance between loving care and powerful skill to give you the understanding, clarity and support you need to move forward in the ways you'd most enjoy.

His emphasis on curiosity and kindness allows people to make big leaps from their comfort zones.

marina
Marina Smerling is a former attorney turned life and relationship coach for women who draws upon over a decade of training in NVC, the Hakomi Method (a mindfulness and somatic-based approach to transformation), and nondual spiritual practice to support women in composting age-old shame into radical self-love, and saying “yes” to what brings them to life. When not coaching, Marina can be found organizing fossil-fuel divestment campaigns, nerding out over kombucha, and boogieing to the sounds of samba, hip hop, and West African music, with just a little bit of classical ballet thrown in to humble her.
