I began my transformation journey with Deniz at the end of Summer. For a while I had been dealing with a number of issues in my personal and professional lives that threw me out of balance. I had trouble sleeping and staying focused, I was not as productive and efficient as I used to be in the beginning of my academic career. The Covid pandemic took its toll on my mental health, confidence, motivation, drive, and passion for adventure and new experiences. Out of my fears I created a cage that I conveniently labelled ‘a safe space’ in order to avoid future disappointment and failure. During our sessions Deniz helped me recognize and address my inner saboteurs, provided recommendations and actionable advice that eventually got me out of my comfort zone. I am incredibly grateful to her for providing full support during the two months of our coaching sessions (in particular, I was sexually harassed and assaulted at least twice; I was also rejected by close friends and colleagues for choosing my own path – what was best for me). Deniz helped me look at tough situations from a different perspective, showed me ways how to get stronger, learn and grow from negative experiences! Most importantly, Deniz practices what she preaches. She is a highly ethical, supportive, kind, and inspiring person. I recommend coaching sessions with her to all, who want to become better versions of themselves!
