When I first reached out to Alicia, I was overwhelmed and spread thin, managing multiple projects and working as an operations manager for a paragliding company. My business didn’t align with my values, and I felt overworked and unsure of my next steps. I needed clarity about my career choices. I tried managing everything on my own, but I felt stuck in a loop and couldn't move forward. My frustrations grew as I struggled to find a solution.

Alicia helped me think in a different way and helped clear the blockade in my mind that kept me from moving forward. One of the most significant outcomes was discovering my passion for writing. Her guidance allowed me to take my writing seriously and start working on my book. Now, I'm just two chapters away from finishing it.

The relief I felt was immense. By helping figure out what the next step was, we were able to break through my feeling of being stuck, allowing my mind to think clearly again. I gained confidence and clarity on the direction of my online business, knowing exactly what skills to focus on and how to use them.

I discovered that I have strong skills in writing and creative expression. These insights have given me a clear direction for my future and a newfound appreciation for my talents. I decided to leave my business and my past job to get a part-time job instead, ensuring my stability while I worked on my newfound writing career. I also signed up for a writing conference in London this upcoming June and am very excited that I now have an actual book to show agents. The transformation was incredible, and I would recommend her 100%.

I was a creative, business owner, and professional dreamer who needed help directing my creative, career, and emotional efforts. I was struggling to establish a routine that was beneficial for my evolution, and I felt overwhelmed by my 'problems' and goals.

Through coaching I was able to view my position more objectively and break down my 'problems' and goals into bite-sized, manageable pieces. This approach made everything feel much less overwhelming.

One of the most significant changes was incorporating creativity into my daily life. With Alicia's guidance, I moved away from tasks that were simply distracting and started focusing on those that benefited my creative, career, and financial aspirations. I’ve rebranded my business, sought out new clients, and even landed two paying clients!

Alicia helped me realize that my vision for my life is not out of reach. I learned to embrace my unique way of functioning emotionally and mentally, instead of getting frustrated with my 'lack of pragmatism.' This realization was empowering and has made a huge difference in how I navigate challenges.

Despite facing ongoing challenges and obstacles, Alicia's guidance showed me that these can be tackled in actionable steps. Her objectivity and all-around loveliness made everything seem a lot less dramatic. I feel more confident because I know I can break everything down into smaller, fun tasks. The more I follow my gut instinct and just create, the more positivity I attract.

I realized that my hobbies and fun photos and designs were actually valuable skills I could use to make money. I now work online with graphic design, content creation, and business rebranding. Alicia’s support has given me a clearer vision and actionable plans for my future. I'm excited about the progress I've made and the direction I'm heading. Her coaching has been a game-changer for me! Her objectivity and all-around loveliness made everything seem a lot less dramatic. I can’t wait to work with her again when she launches her 6 months program.

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, I worked as a surf and kite instructor and had only ever been to Cape Town and Egypt. I wanted to find something that would give me the freedom to travel like kite instructing did but wasn't reliant on my body so much. I was lost in the world of remote and online work and had no idea where to start.

Initially, I expected the coaching to be just about how I could achieve my career goals by coming up with a plan of action. However, as the sessions continued, I began to realize it was also about the way I face challenges, the way I react to obstacles, and my mindset. Alicia helped me realize that wanting something is not what makes it happen; you need to focus on it and prioritize it above your impulsive "needs" or wants.

Before coaching I always felt like there was too much to do and it all had to be done now. Alicia and I started to break down the different tasks into categories and prioritized them. We then allocated hours of my day for the next week towards these tasks. This cleared up a lot of mental space, brought a sense of control into my life, and helped me feel more confident in the work I was doing.

A significant breakthrough was changing my mindset from "it is what it is" to "this is not what I want." I used to be very scared of sharing my opinion when it opposed someone else's as I was scared it would upset them, but now I realize it creates a better and more trustworthy relationship.

I discovered skills I already had from previous roles in lead generation and corporate internships. Alicia helped me see the value in my surfing and kiting skills, leading me to combine my passion for the sport and knowledge of watersports with my internship background. This combination allowed me to secure a fully remote online position as a customer service representative for a tech startup in partnership with one of the biggest kite brands out there. Additionally, I started offering my lead generation services independently as a Virtual Assistant for coaches.

To get extra money while traveling and taking advantage of my native English skills, I am currently teaching English online. Since our coaching, I have started traveling extensively. I have been to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, and am now getting ready to go to Europe. I also worked seasonal jobs in a kite center in Egypt and later in Cape Town, making more than double what I was making before.

Alicia's support was invaluable in keeping me accountable and helping me find my motivation again and again. She guided me to keep my motivation focused on my goals, not just my wants. By the end of our coaching, I learned to be more consistent, hold myself accountable, and maintain a positive, solution-oriented mindset.

I would highly recommend Alicia! Her guidance and support have transformed my career and life, and allowed me to travel the world and work remotely in roles that I am passionate about, something that was only a dream before.

I have a corporate career and didn't want to work online, but when Alicia reached out to me, I was eager for personal growth and new perspectives, and to gain more clarity, which is why I decided to work with Alicia. As a Product Owner for a MedTech company, I needed help focusing on important tasks, reducing self-judgment, and thinking long-term rather than short-term. I also wanted to reflect on why certain things, opinions, and dreams mattered to me, and to accept my own opinions with more pride.

I expected that we would discuss all areas of life that affected me negatively and set goals to become a 'new' person. However, Alicia exceeded my expectations by helping me realize the value of the skills and strengths I already possessed. She encouraged me to ask myself why I wanted to change things in the first place and to recognize the good reasons behind my current ways of thinking and doing things. This shift in perspective made me much more proud of my path and who I am, without seeing myself as a 'construction site.'

I loved specially an exercise that we did for analyzing my past 'obsessions,' like excessively buying plants or working out. This helped me frame my larger goal setting differently and see how these past behaviors reflected my existing strengths and passions. Now, when I set a goal, I consider how long it may be relevant, its long-term impact, and whether it is time-critical. Another useful exercise was tracking how many hours I spend on things I enjoy versus things I don't, and what my achievements for the day are. This new perspective made me appreciate that things are never black or white and made my daily interactions feel more rewarding and unique.

Thanks to Alicia, I’ve incorporated these insights into my daily life. I break issues and concerns down into smaller tasks and avoid obsessing over any single thing that might bring me down. Each puzzle piece of my life now has a special meaning but does not individually define me. Alicia’s guidance has empowered me to take more control over my life, make decisions with greater confidence, and navigate challenges more effectively, all by leveraging the strengths I already had.

By the end of our coaching, I discovered that I have strong skills in strategic thinking and breaking down complex tasks into manageable pieces. These insights have made me appreciate my journey and the unique skills I bring to the table. Alicia's approach helped me realize that what I do and how I think have a good reason, which has been incredibly empowering. She is a great listener, relates to many topics and feelings, and has a 'warrior' personality that inspires people. I'm thankful for the clarity and confidence I’ve gained through her coaching. If you're still thinking about it, just do it, you won't regret it!

I was looking for clarity about my future career after yachting. As a friend, I was excited and curious about working with her, knowing she could provide valuable insights and support. I didn't have specific expectations, but I was very happy to talk to her and felt her guidance would be helpful.

During our sessions, we made a purpose list, and Alicia helped me narrow it down to focus on what was most important. She gave me simple, doable assignments that were reachable and effective. We also discussed my uncertainty about what to do after yachting, and Alicia provided great pointers and advice to think about, which were very helpful.

I really struggle to follow through, so I enjoyed learning to simplify tasks and start with something small every day. Even when I have good and bad days with my focus, doing small things daily, even just for 20 minutes, made me feel better about myself. Alicia helped me see that just starting and doing something consistently is much better in the long run than overthinking and worrying about the future. It helped put the chaos in my head in order. I learned to narrow down my goals, stay present, and focus on what I'm doing in the moment rather than constantly worrying about the future. 

Although I still face challenges and struggle with procrastination, Alicia's support has been empowering. She didn't just tell me what to do; she guided me to find my own answers and build self-trust. Her presence and insightful advice have helped me gain more control over my life and make decisions with greater confidence. Now I don't second-guess myself nearly as much.

By the end of our coaching, I discovered that I have strong skills in yoga, working directly with people and writing. Alicia's guidance has helped me recognize these skills and how to use them effectively, in whatever direction I choose to pursue. 

Alicia is an empowering person, and talking to her always makes me feel more empowered. Her ability to provide clear, thoughtful advice and create a safe, open space for discussion has been incredibly valuable. I would definitely recommend her, as her support has made a significant difference in my life.

I decided to get coaching because I felt stuck and needed motivation to chase my goals. As an outdoor guide from The Netherlands living in Switzerland, I was preparing for my tandem paragliding exam and needed help staying focused and motivated. I decided to do a VIP day coaching with Alicia with a check-in after 2 weeks to focus on this specific goal that I was struggling with.

I went into the coaching sessions with an open heart and came out more motivated and confident. Alicia showed me that by taking little steps on a regular basis, I could create a long-term routine that would keep me motivated and help me achieve my goals. This approach was transformative for me.

Before working with Alicia, I was always too hard on myself, thinking I had to study for hours every day. She helped me understand that small, consistent efforts were more sustainable and effective. This insight was incredibly freeing and made my routine feel less pressured and more achievable.

One of the most significant aha moments was realizing that even just 15 minutes a day can make a difference. Creating a daily routine, even for a short period, felt less overwhelming and more sustainable, bringing me closer to my goals.

Alicia's ability to see the bigger picture and guide me with practical advice was invaluable. She helped me maintain focus and motivation, showing me a new way to approach my goals with a consistent and realistic routine.

Although there's always something to improve, I discovered that I am and have always been an amazing paragliding pilot and that stressing over something as small as an exam was unnecessary. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and already have what it takes inside of me. The exam is just another day. These realizations have significantly boosted my confidence and provided a clear path toward achieving my goals. I'm very grateful for Alicia's help in showing me this effective approach.

Alicia has a unique talent for helping people see their true potential and guiding them toward their goals with clarity and confidence. I highly recommend her coaching services to anyone looking to find motivation and achieve their dreams.

I was going through a difficult time and needed support in finding more ease with my work activities and navigating work/life balance. As a Surf & Self-Awareness Coach and Retreat Host living in Lombok, Indonesia, I often stressed myself out trying to get everything done efficiently. I also needed to understand that it's okay to take time off and prioritize my mental health as a business owner.

I didn't have any expectations but was really happy with the safe, open, and honest space we were able to share to discuss what I was struggling with at the time. Alicia made me feel seen, heard, understood, and deeply supported.

One of my favorite strategies was listing out all of the things I've already accomplished instead of focusing on what's ahead. Taking a step back and giving myself praise for how far I've come was very rewarding and something I think we all need to do to feel better about where we're at in life. Alicia also helped me break down work activities into more digestible goals, which significantly reduced my stress.

A specific insight that had a significant impact on my personal growth was learning to accept situations for what they are instead of trying to control them. This is something I've always struggled with, and Alicia really helped me see the bigger picture and surrender to the natural flow of life.

Throughout our coaching journey, Alicia kept me accountable for my goals. Knowing I was going to speak with her motivated me to get things done so I could share my progress and reflections, which was incredibly fulfilling. The biggest thing Alicia helped me with was building my self-trust. She didn't tell me what to do but guided me to find what I needed to do on my own and trust that I was capable of doing it. That was real power!

By the end of our coaching, I discovered that I have strong skills in time management and self-awareness. These skills have not only boosted my confidence but also provided a clear path for future endeavors. Alicia's compassionate and genuine approach to helping people create a strong mindset and action plan for going after their goals is truly transformative.

I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone looking to gain clarity, build self-trust, and create a balanced and fulfilling life.

I was facing relationship struggles that were affecting my work and overall well-being. Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, and now living in Interlaken, Switzerland, I work as a Paragliding Tandem Pilot and Tour Guide. I learned about Alicia's life coaching services and wanted an 'outside of the box' view on my situation, so I decided to do a VIP day coaching session with her, followed by a check-in after two weeks.

I didn't have any specific expectations, but I liked Alicia's spontaneous, 'feeling the current mood/moment' approach and her compassionate, understanding reactions. It felt like talking to a friend who gives practical and applicable advice. Her coaching helped me see the urgency of making my situation right for me and reminded me that my happiness and contentment are my own responsibility. I learned the importance of communicating my needs clearly and kindly, rather than waiting for them to be magically fulfilled.

Alicia helped me realize how much mindspace and lifetime I was spending on recurring issues in my relationship. This eye-opening realization made me see that something had to change. The coaching sessions pushed me to take action and express my needs, even though it was challenging and sometimes led to explosive communication.

A significant insight from our sessions was understanding that I can't control others, but I can control how I communicate my needs and take responsibility for my own happiness. This shift in perspective was crucial for me. I've made huge progress in addressing communication issues. Alicia's support helped me stay consistent and keep my hopes up, even when I felt down about having to take action in a direction I wished were different.

I discovered that I have strong skills in self-reflection and communication. These insights have given me a clearer understanding of my needs and how to express them. Alicia's compassionate and resourceful guidance has been invaluable.

Alicia creates a warm, supportive vibe and has a wealth of life experience that comes from an at-peace state of mind. Her ability to navigate and wing almost any situation is truly inspiring. Thank you, Alicia, for your incredible support.
