1:1 coaching for Balkan women
You don't have to carry it all alone.
For the woman who's always “fine” but exhausted. I help you let go of the guilt you were handed, set boundaries that stick, and start choosing yourself.
Is this you?
You know you carry too much. You just don't know how to stop.
- You say yes when you mean no, and feel guilty for days when you don't.
- You're the one everyone leans on, and your own cup is empty.
- Resting feels lazy. Putting yourself first feels selfish.
- “What will people say?” is still running in the back of your mind.
- You grew up believing that loving your family means always putting yourself last.
Together, we'll make a plan. And I'll walk alongside you, step by step, as you make the changes you want to make.
I'm not asking you to leave your culture or your family. I'm asking you to stop leaving yourself.
What can change
You don't need to do more. You need to carry less.
You don't need a better planner or a longer to-do list. You need to put down what was never yours to carry. Here's how your everyday life changes:
Exhausted, every single day
Feeling energised again
Feeling guilty for resting
Time to yourself, without guilt
Saying yes when you mean no
A calm “no”, without explaining yourself
Not recognising yourself anymore
Feeling like yourself again
Second-guessing every decision
Trusting your own voice again
Saying “I’m fine” while drowning
Letting someone support you
My approach
Getting to the root of it.
You probably already know why you people-please. You could probably tell me your whole life story, and where it all started. And you're tired of it: tired of understanding everything and still saying yes when you mean no. What you want now is change that actually sticks.
That's where we start. Because it was never just a habit. It started somewhere, often with a younger version of you who learned that keeping everyone happy was the way to be loved and stay safe.
In our work together, we go back to her. We look at the beliefs she took on, the emotions your body is still holding, and the reactions that kick in before you can even think, like the yes that comes out before you've checked whether you want to. Using NLP, Emotional Change Technique, hypnosis and breathwork, tailored to you, we work on those patterns at the root. Then we practise new choices in your real life, one small step at a time.
So it doesn't just make sense in your head. It changes how you live.
How I work
What a session looks like
I don't give you surface-level advice. I don't hand you a script on how to say “no” to your family, only for you to freeze up when you try to use it. I don't keep you talking in circles about the same issue.
You can't think your way out of something your body learned to do years ago. So here's what we do instead:
- 1Arrive. We check in on how you're feeling and what's been going on for you right now.
- 2Untangle. We pinpoint the exact moment your body learned to store that specific emotion (like the guilt of saying no, or the anger of being unappreciated).
- 3Release. We release the weight using targeted visualization, letting go of the unprocessed feelings tied to that memory.
- 4One small step. You leave with one clear step for the coming days, so the change carries into your real life.
About me
Hi, I'm Michelle.
Diploma of Mental Health · Certified NLP Coach and Practitioner · Certified Practitioner of Emotional Change Technique · Certified Practitioner of Hypnosis
I help Balkan women break generational patterns, so you can say no, rest, and live your own life without apologizing for it.
I spent five and a half years searching for, studying and learning tools that go deeper than standard advice and create lasting change. I know exactly how to spot what keeps you stuck and what's really behind it. I've worked with women through burnout, people pleasing and big life changes, helping them trust themselves again.
I believe in honesty, depth and real support. If you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to begin, I'll help you find your first clear step. If you know what needs to change but keep slipping back, I'll show you why, and we'll change it in your real life. If you've been running on empty for years, I'll give you room to stop and work out what you actually want.
My goal is simple: to help you stop surviving and start actually living.
Read my story
In a past life, I was the good girl who had it all together on the outside and was quietly crumbling on the inside. Born in Germany and raised in Balkan culture, I grew up caught between two worlds, never fully belonging to either. I spent years proving myself, shrinking myself and putting everyone else first, until I completely burnt out and had no idea who I actually was underneath all of it.
My biggest fear was waking up one day and realizing I'd lived a life that was never mine to begin with. I thought that if I just worked harder, proved myself enough and did everything right, it would eventually feel fulfilling. It never did. But there was a quiet fire inside me that refused to believe this was it, so I went searching for the tools that go deeper than the surface. I trialled, I errored and I kept going.
Today I have a deep relationship with who I am, and it has changed every other relationship in my life. My friendships are the most fulfilling they have ever been. My relationship with my parents has transformed. And I have the confidence and the audacity to create a life and a business that feel completely mine. None of it was possible until I stopped doing life alone.
There was never anything wrong with you. You were never too much. You were just taught to believe you were.

This is for you if you already know what needs to change, you just keep slipping back into the old ways. What you need is a clear plan and real support to actually change that.

You say yes before you've even checked if you want to. You explain yourself five times. And when you finally take an evening for yourself, you spend it feeling guilty. You know you need firmer boundaries, but the moment you try to stand your ground, the pressure from family, work or everyday life pulls you right back.
This isn't about learning why you do it anymore. It's about changing it in your real life. I'll help you find exactly where you keep giving yourself away, work through the guilt that comes up when you stop, and follow a step-by-step plan made for you. Over these 12 weeks, choosing yourself starts to feel less like a battle, and more like your normal.
So you can:
- Say no without feeling guilty for days
- Rest without feeling lazy
- Do the things you want, without explaining yourself
- Stop being responsible for everyone's mood
- 6 × 60-minute 1:1 sessions, every 2 weeks
- Telegram support on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with replies within 24 hours
- Teaching you nervous system tools that actually work for you, and don't feel like another thing on your to-do list

This is for you if you're running on empty, you've lost touch with what you want, and you just want to feel like yourself again.

You're the daughter, the partner, the friend, the one everyone depends on. On the outside you look capable and “fine.” Inside, you feel scattered and drained, carrying the mental load for everyone, and you've been surviving like this for so long that you don't even know where to start anymore.
After years of pushing through, this container is where you finally get to stop. No earning it first. Just room to breathe and feel grounded again. Then, step by step, with a gentle plan I hold for you, we look at which expectations you actually agree with, and which ones you can finally put down. So your next moves come from clarity, not panic.
So you can:
- Wake up without that familiar, heavy feeling in your chest
- Feel real joy in your day, not just relief when it's over
- Make choices for yourself, without needing everyone's approval
- Know what you truly want, not just what everyone else expects of you
- Trust yourself to make big decisions from a calm, grounded place
- 9 × 60-minute 1:1 sessions (every 2 weeks for months 1–3, then monthly)
- Telegram support on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with replies within 24 hours
- Teaching you nervous system tools that actually work for you, and don't feel like another thing on your to-do list

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Which option is right for me?
If you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start, begin with a Clarity Session. If you already know your patterns and need a plan and support to change them, choose the 3 months. If you've been holding everything together for years and feel lost, choose the 6 months. Not sure? Book a free intro chat and we'll figure it out together.
Is this therapy?
No. This is coaching. It isn't therapy, diagnosis or medical treatment. My focus is helping you change the patterns that keep you stuck, so you can make different choices in your everyday life.
I feel nervous about investing in myself. Is that normal?
Completely. I felt the same way, and I never regretted it. When you're used to putting everyone else first, spending money on yourself can bring up guilt and doubt. You don't have to decide in a rush. A free intro chat can help you make a calm decision, not a pressured one.
What if I feel guilty choosing myself?
Then this is exactly where we start. For many women, choosing themselves feels selfish or even unsafe at first. We work with the guilt underneath, so putting yourself first slowly starts to feel normal.
I've tried other things before and it didn't stick. What's different?
We don't just talk about the pattern. We work on it at the root, and then practise new choices in your real life, with support between sessions. So it doesn't only change in your head, it changes how you live.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. The 3 months is available as 3 × €340, and the 6 months as 6 × €320.
Where do sessions take place?
Online, via Google Meet, so you can join from anywhere.
