Testimonials
I met Sakina at a very existential moment, when uncertainty and fear were almost paralyzing, as I was in the middle of a chemotherapy protocol.
Ignoring this situation, I remember saying to Sakina who asked me about my coaching objective: “I’d like to find a job”… which meant I wanted to get back to a normal life, I wanted to live… and therefore work.
Sakina didn’t let this unwelcome request faze me, and gently and kindly guided me towards an essential goal closer to my needs.
Together, we drew up a roadmap around one key word: SERENITY… and “opened” this customized toolbox that I’ve been using until now.
Sakina knew
- find the right words,
- guide me through practices such as tapping (EFT) and meditation
- enable me to put my own resources into practice and institutionalize the cocooning moments I can call upon to stay on course for serenity.
Thank you, dear Sakina, for your invaluable support.
In the post-accident context of becoming a paraplegic, coaching helped me to clarify this new stage in my life.
I was able to move beyond this procrastination phase and take action, in a very concrete way, through discussions and exercises. I’ve also learned to set boundaries.
In short, it “helped me help myself” and I’m now more involved in my life in Geneva.
When I started coaching, I was in a difficult situation on many levels. My health situation was weighing on my morale. That’s when my coaching with Sakina began.
What I really appreciated was the creativity of the methods used. The sessions enabled me to reconnect with my body and my sensations. Rigorous methodology gave us the security we needed to dare explore a little further. After a few sessions, I had to take a very difficult exam and the work I did with Sakina helped put me in the right frame of mind to pass and gently regain my self-confidence. There are things we’ve worked on that I reread almost daily.
Today, I’m much better and still benefiting from the work done during the sessions. I feel more alive and apart from my job, which I still don’t find that exciting, I’ve really had the support to find the resources within myself and an autonomy that has always been fostered. All the sessions were essential, and when the target was reached, the coaching stopped. And that’s really important to me, as someone who appreciates freedom so much.
In short, it’s creative coaching that’s rigorous, generous and constantly striving for autonomy. In short, it’s creative coaching that’s rigorous, generous and constantly striving for autonomy. Today’s paradox is that I feel more sensitive and therefore stronger!
I highly recommend this course, which gave me the opportunity to acquire new tools to define the goals I wanted to set myself and the means to achieve them.
A natural perfectionist and lacking in self-confidence, I procrastinated and lacked efficiency.
Sakina’s kindness and sound advice helped me enormously.
Following a burn-out, two months off work and a 40% return to work, I was referred to Sakina. I have to admit that the first sessions didn’t convince me. Because of my Cartesian mind, I wasn’t open to this kind of approach!
But this was without counting on Sakina’s tenacity and ability to adapt. Indeed, after sharing my doubts with her, she was able to modify her approach, opening my mind and unlocking the locks in my brain. I learned to listen to and value myself.
Even today, after several months, I continue to put into practice the valuable advice I received, and I feel stronger every day. A big THANK YOU to Sakina for this beautiful gift.
I was lucky enough to be coached by Sakina in the context of long-term sick leave and redundancy. Each session was a unique, made-to-measure experience that enabled me to break through the heavy, dark and painful shell in which I’d been trapped for over 20 years.
I also came away with a “toolbox” that I still use today in my career transition. The moments I spent with Sakina were so strong that, when my spirits flag, all I have to do is invoke their memory to find comfort and the desire to get up and live my new life to the full!
