Testimonials
Reassuring and Gently Provocative
“To me, the best space for questions to ask, for answers to arise, and for new questions to emerge is one of safety. Because it is here that we allow ourselves to look deep into what might have been in hiding until that point. Through her reassuring and at times gently provocative ways of listen-ask-responding, Gika is able to create that space for you, and before you know it, you have arrived at a different place of knowledge and freedom. The strange (yet wonderful) thing about this learning process is, that Gika doesn’t ‘guide’ you; she simply allows your mind and nervous system to figure out answers and questions by providing them with a recalibration of the tools that already lie within you. Astonishingly enough, this works as well verbally, intellectually, soulfully in her coaching practice as it does with anatomical movement and touch in her Feldenkrais Sessions.”

She Gets Curious About Me
“My experience in that coaching session—and every session I’ve had with Gika—is that she gets curious about me and about what’s going on with me. Out of that curiosity comes question after question. Through answering these questions, I am able to clarify my goals, my hopes and dreams, and my desires. For me, coaching is more relevant than counseling because we talk about the here and now. We might hit on a situation from the past, but we don’t dwell on it or over-analyze it. The old stuff is a stepping stone, a back-story, to what is happening right now in my life. Gika also gives me relevant and fun activities to do that help me continue my process when I’m not seeing her, like collage and journaling.”

Her guidance and support have been invaluable to me while navigating career changes, moving to a new city, significant relationship upheaval, and deep personal evolution. Gika’s insights have inspired me to explore new perspectives and embrace my challenges with confidence. She has provided me with the wisdom I needed during these pivotal moments in my life. Her profound understanding of the human condition, paired with her genuine passion for helping others, created a safe and nurturing space during our sessions. It’s not just what she says; it’s how she makes you feel—truly heard and cared for. Whether you’re striving for new goals, seeking meaning or inspiration in your life, or looking to elevate your skills, I wholeheartedly recommend Gika as a mentor, problem-solver, and life coach. Anyone seeking meaningful support and mentorship would benefit immensely from her expertise. I am grateful for the impact Gika has had on my life and highly recommend her as a coach.”
