Bio
After 9 years of working in people space building startups and scale-ups in London and Berlin I hit a massive rock bottom in 2020 with a combination of prolonged burnout, topped up with heartbreak, and a rather painful breakup.
I lost myself and felt like my soul was falling apart. I didn’t know what to grab to get any feeling of safety and stability. Instead of numbing my emotions, I decided to go through the deepest pain to find my true essence thanks to therapy and coaching.
This experience became my turning point and I decided to turn my pain into my power.
I dusted off my coaching toolkit. I levelled up my skills and used them to help people who hit rock bottom or pivot to a new chapter in their lives to get to the other side of the river.

- Achieved success but something feels missing?

- 'asking difficult questions' (Joanna, Poland)
→ Connecting You Back With Yourself.
- 'connecting people to the spiritual side or meaning of life which is hard in a chaotic and robotic world' (Sebastian, Canada)

Reviews
Since the first discovery communication, Kasia provided a safe space for me to open up. She even went deeper with questions than what I was expecting, which allowed me to be open and share my thoughts and feelings in a deeper way. Without knowing, this mere act of ‘caring’, started my healing process. During the next few days before the scheduled call, I had already understood and clarified some feelings. That was just the beginning.
During the actual call, she again provided a safe space and allowed me to get more clarity on the intention of what I wanted to get out of the session, and by talking, more understanding and clarity came to mind. Then, by using relaxation and visualization techniques she guided me to envision my ideal version of myself and my actual version and made them talk together to break barriers and come to an understanding that both versions can actually live together.
In these last few days, I was able to clarify and envision the person I want to become.
Greatly thankful for her and her work.

I was searching for a solution to my addiction to sugar and was recommended to contact Kasia who was able to help me gain clarity on what exactly I was actually trying to resolve, and then help me resolve it!
As a busy professional working parent who is constantly exposed to chocolate, my habitual chocolate cravings felt impossible to control. After just one hypnotherapy session, everything changed. Kasia is a highly professional coach who able to give me clarity on what I needed to focus on resolving (chocolate vs general sugar cravings), when I seem to have the desire to reach out for it and then offered me a few solutions that would be helpful. We discussed the fact that I am very lucky to be treated to a range of products (low to high quality) and that I did not want to totally ban myself, versus be more in control to decide when I choose to eat it. I chose hypnotherapy as I was intrigued to see if it truly is as powerful as it is called out to be. In that one session, Kasia was able to shift my perception and I could feel the change of feelings towards the issue I had chosen to resolve. Who knew it could be so quick?!
The very next day, I was put to the test—walking past the chocolate aisle without a single craving. It was a pivotal moment in my relationship with chocolate, and I was amazed at how effective the session was. What has amazed me even more, is that I still no longer have feelings of autopilot on this topic and feel more in control. I can and do easily decide to not partake when I want.
Kasia is so supportive and nothing I said was too small for her to listen to me. I chose to have a follow-up session as I wanted to discuss my experience after the session. I chose to focus on another topic that had come up and, again, Kasia was able to help me delve deeper and clarify what I actually needed support with and then offer solutions. I chose hypnotherapy again, as I was so comfortable with being guided by Kasia through the session. I highly recommend Kasia as her extensive experience and very supportive demeanour helped me close out something that had been bothering me for a while, making more space for me to focus on how I do want to show up in my life.
Thank you Kasia, I know where to come for future sessions when I need them.

I worked with Kasia to support me in the transition from being an academic to being CTO of a university spin-off. Developing a spin-off from research is an exciting and rewarding time, and in there are many skills from the research side that become valuable in the startup context (even more than in the private sector in general). However, I felt I lacked skills in some important areas and these contributed to high levels of anxiety and lack of confidence in my ability to succeed. With Kasia I worked to better understand my own personality, personal work style, and how I like to work with others. Moving from a time of doing research projects mostly independently or in very small teams, to managing a larger project and delegating tasks was something that was an important part of my personal growth. What struck me most was that the challenges I faced were not related to "textbook" management tasks (such as project scheduling or division of responsibility), but to my personal and emotional attitude to my work. Having been very personally invested in the project leading to the spin-off, I became aware of my own reluctance to trust other people with its success. Addressing this involved process of learning to build trust in others - not a blind trust, but one based on building an understanding of each person's competence, empowering people to use their particular skills, and developing feedback loops to ensure expectations are met. This allowed me to build a more productive team and reduced my workload by allowing me to avoid re-validating or re-working things that were already done. An essential part of this work was also building better communications and mutual understanding, through better listening to my own sense of empathy, and through a clearer understanding of how to distinguish between factual problems, the emotions that arise around these, and both practical and personal expectations that should be clearly communicated. Today, our team is growing and developing away from the academic context. While winning awards and building traction, I feel that with Kasia's training we are also working towards a company culture and team vision that is one we can be proud of and where we are excited and motivated to work.

Kasia is an amazing coach and mentor. I have have worked with many coaches and she is a natural. Kasia is so intuitive and genuine it is easy to share even the most complex and personal of issues with her, even in early stages of the coaching relationship. Then she works her magic and gets to the route of the problem. I can recommend Kasia as a coach for anyone.
