What others are saying
"Markella is a great support in navigating through many insecurities, mood changes, fears, and overwhelming feelings which are naturally linked with my current status change - becoming a mother."
"In my sessions with Markella our conversations always flow very easily and naturally, like catching up with a friend. Yet, Markella always catches interesting pointers, highlights patterns or thoughts that she observes, and brings them to my attention. These help me to debunk various myths and hidden stereotypes that are buried in my subconsciousness. Our conversations are helping me to detect them, understand them and bring on a more conscious level. I am learning a lot about myself and to be more aware of the drivers which influence my behaviour, triggers, decision-making processes, and overall perspectives on multiple areas of my life. Currently, we discuss many pregnancy-related topics as I was in my therapy with Markella before and during, I got pregnant. Markella is a great support in navigating through many insecurities, mood changes, fears, and overwhelming feelings which are naturally linked with my current status change - becoming a mother. Markella helps me to understand many changes my body and mind is currently undergoing. Extremely helping is understanding the myths and stereotypes linked with motherhood that are rooted in our society and often create pressure on expecting mothers. I am extremely grateful for these sessions as I am gaining freedom from these stereotypes, and this allows me to focus more on enjoying (rather than fearing) my unique experience."
"such a great woman and professional who always knows what questions to ask so that you realize what the missing link is.
Our conversations wrapped my soul in warmth and hope ...with a compassionate, non-judgmental touch.
She is showing up with vulnerability, which invites you to dare to do the same, creating a safe space to share and learn."
"Such a pleasure and an honor to work with Markella. She is such a great woman and professional who always knows what questions to ask so that you realize what the missing link is. Our conversations wrapped my soul in warmth and hope in my lately confused and tired days. I especially like how she presents scientifically backed data in simple terms while balancing it with a compassionate, non-judgmental touch. She is showing up with vulnerability, which invites you to dare to do the same, creating a safe space to share and learn. I am eagerly waiting for every new meeting and I am grateful that our paths crossed. If you feel stuck and would like to start a journey of self-discovery while honoring your authenticity, reach out to her!" -Ramona S.

If there is something I am passionate about, it's personal discovery and self-improvement as a means to actualization. In my opinion, these are the most selfless and valuable acts one could engage in. By nurturing a constant craving for development, we become much more in tune with not only ourselves, but also with the world around us, achieving our goals while serving as an asset to society as well...
