Testimonials

  • Creativity & Innovation

    • Creativity coaching with Masha Gurina was one of those experiences that stays with you. Something opened up during this program. I’m more confident, more curious, and less afraid of just going with what feels right.

    Masha creates space for you to explore, think differently, and actually hear yourself. The process helped me tap into my creativity in a very real, practical way—but more than that, it changed how I relate to my own choices. I feel much more comfortable trusting my instincts now, not just in creative work, but in everyday decisions. If you’re even a little curious about creativity or feel like you’re overthinking everything (like I was), I’d absolutely recommend working with Masha.

    It is refreshing to work with someone who brings something unique to the field of coaching

    Masha’s background in the arts and movement offers a different approach — and potentially different solutions — to the challenge of staying on course in a busy world. In addition, her empathetic ear and her ability to listen, process what I say, and counter with thoughtful questions are the icing on the cake. I felt heard and am excited to integrate new movement and focusing practices into my daily work. I genuinely enjoyed all our thought-provoking and motivating sessions. Thank you so much!

  • Executive Coaching

    • I highly recommend Masha's coaching for executives, particularly in complex, high-pressure environments and leadership positions.

    In the beginning, I was slightly sceptical that coaching would be effective. I always considered myself highly self-aware, and wondered if I could learn something new (you can’t really teach an old dog new tricks etc., etc.). After only a few sessions with Masha I am very happy to have been proven wrong. Masha has a very supportive, yet professional method of working together. Identifying my behavioural triggers and situational responses really helped me to understand what ‘makes me tick’ and gain valuable insights into organisational dynamics.

  • Life Coaching

    • Masha's ability to help me define and reframe my goals has been extremely helpful to me.

    I have worked with Masha several times over the past year and received coaching during challenging life and decision-making situations. I’m always confident she will help me focus on the core of the issue and see a variety of potential solutions for any problems.
